He found that uranium gave off rays.

Marie decided to study this area and named the rays “radioactive”

The discovery of Polonium.

In 1898 she discovered the first of these radioactive minerals, which she named “Polonium” in honor of her motherland—Poland.

They worked together.

They devoted all their hours to working in their laboratory on their research.

Her thoughts:“Life is not easy for any of us, we must work, and above all, we must believe in ourselves. We must believe that each one of us is able to do something well, and that ,when we discover what this something is, we must work hard at it until we succeed. ”

Radium

Discovered in 1902

It looks like salt.

The medal of Nobel Prize.

a cure for...与cure sb.of...的区别：　　a cure for...意为"对…的治疗"，cure这里作名词；"cure sb. of"意为"治好或治愈某人的...病"，cure这里作及物动词。e．g.

　　①This is a certain cure for your laziness．这是治懒惰的特效药

　　②Moving to the country cured her of asthma．搬到乡下她的哮喘就好了。

Language points

(1) Polonium is used to set off a nuclear bomb. =... is used to make a nuclear bomb explode. 钋用来引爆核弹。

短语动词 set off 作不及物动词时，意思是“出发”；用及物动词时，意思是“使爆发/爆炸”，“引起”。在本句中是后一种用法。及物性短浯动词：

e．g．　　They set off the fireworks as soon as it got dark．天一黑他们就放焰火(烟花)。

1. 我们最好明天早晨七点出发。

2.燃烧的煤气引起了爆炸。

3.稍一触动就会使炸弹爆炸。

We'd better set off at 7 tomorrow morning.

An explosion was set off by the burning gas.

A slight touch will set the bomb off.

搭配辨析set off 与setout，set about

(1)set out也可意为“出发，动身”，用法与set off同义，e.g.　　They set out／off for a sightseeing tour．

(2)set out to do sth“开始着手，做某事”，。e．g.　　We set out to paint the whole house but finished only the front part．

(3)set about意为“开始做或处理，着手”，其后接名词或v.-ing，即set about + sth．／doing sth．e.g. ① The sooner we set about it the sooner we‘ll finish．

② They set about cooking as soon as they arrived home.

(2) Radioactive matter is dangerous to work with because it has a bad effect on the blood.从事放射性物质的工作是危险的，因为它对血液有不良影响。

① 本句的主句属于“主语+be+形容词+不定式”的句式。e.g. He is hard to work with. 同他共事是很难的。

② Have a …effect /influence on

对......产生影响。例如：

1. 噪音对听力有很坏的影响。

Loud noises have a bad effect on hearing.

Drinking too much has a bad effect on liver.

This medicine has no effect on him.

2. 天气突然变化对他的健康可能有影响。

The sudden change of weather may have some effect on his health.

(3) In fact, radium not only damaged their health but also made the laboratory equipment with which they were working radioactive.

(= In fact, radium not only harmed their health, but also caused their laboratory equipment to become radioactive.)

事实上，镭不仅损害了他们的健康，而且还使他们工作用的实验室设备也都具有放射性了。

第二个并列谓语 made the laboratory equipment radioactive 是一个“make + 复合宾语（宾语+宾语补足语）”的结构。本句中的宾语补足语是形容词 radioactive,表示宾语的性质或状态。本句的宾语 laboratory equipment 后面有一个限制性定语从句 with which they were working, 说明“他们所用以工作的实验设备”也具有放射性。

例如：

1. 迪斯尼的新设想使他的影片更加生动有趣了。

Disney's new ideas made his movies more lively and interesting.

2.他们尽力使事情变得轻松而又愉快。

They are trying to make things easy and comfortable.

3.多年的研究工作使她几乎失明了。

Long years of research made her almost blind.

admire sb. for sth. 钦佩某人的某个方面

People admire the old teacher for his devotion to duty.

be admired as与be admired for的区别：　　（1）be admired as意为“被当作……为人们所钦佩”，as是介词，意为“作为”。

　　（2）be admired for意为“因(某种原因)而为人们所钦佩”，for是介词，表示原因。e．g

　　He is really admired for his frankness．他以他的坦诚实在为人们所钦佩。

 Madame curie was admired as a scientist for her contributions to the society.

admiration n. We show great admiration to the doctors who fought against SARS.

. carry out… 从事， 进行

They carried out their plan successfully .

In recent years she has carried out a lot of tests on dogs.

4. heart and soul 全心全意

Lei Feng was a good example of serving the people heart and soul.

Shock---greatly surprise

We were all shocked at the sudden bad news.

The news shocked the people present.
