A lady who never gave up
She was a poor girl who worked to get money to pay for her lessons. She became the famous woman scientist of her time. That‘s the story of Marie Curie‘s life. She didn‘t mind working and she didn‘t care about the honors(荣誉) that were given to her in later years.
Marie was born in 1867. Her name was Marie Sklosovska then. She live in Poland. Her father was a teacher. Everyone soon saw that Marie had a quick mind.
Marie‘s mother died when her youngest daughter was only ten. From then on, Marie knew that she would have to work hard at her lessons if she wanted to be successful(成功的) in her life. She studied very hard and was one of the best students at her school.
Marie and her older sister, Bronya, wanted to study in France at the Sorbonne. But their father didn‘t have enough money to send them there. It was Marie who had an idea: she would teach at home and send her money to Bronya. After her sister finished studying in Paris, she would get work and send Marie the money to study there herself. So Marie worked very hard for six years to pay for her sister‘s studies. At last it was Marie‘s turn but when she got to France, her sister was married and could not give her much help.
