However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.Born in September, 1987, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Svign in Paris.Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities（设备） to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognized in the form of a Militarys Medal by the French government. In 1918, Irene became her mothers assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）.

You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you youll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, dont insist he tell you whats on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that hell clam up. Instead , let him attempt to solve（解决）things by himself. At the same time, remind him that youre always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenagers privacy （隐私）. Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the familys telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation（节制）. Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part time job50.

When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.“You cant say its not a great university, just because Papa went there.”“Thats not it at all. And it is a top university.” She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we cant afford to send you to college.”“I wouldnt dream of asking you for money. Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things arent that bad, are they?”“No,” she said. “I dont expect you to help support us.”Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop, His chief customers were his old college friends. To get new customers, my mother had to help. She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns. Whats more ,they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful ；otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives and the determination not to repeat their mistakes. I had a strong belief in my power to go what I wanted.

A sense of humour can be developed in our life.C. A sense of humour helps us from several aspects.D. A sense of humour means more than telling jokes.E. A sense of humour can be expressed in many ways.F. A sense of humour helps people to better enjoy life. 61.As awareness of the benefits of humour increases, most of us want to get all the laughs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humour to help us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Every system of the body responds to laughter in some important or positive way .62.Many people mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour. They think that when it comes to a sense of humour. “either you have got it or you dont .” This is false! What is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.63. The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour. (After all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we dont rush over and say, “That kid has a great sense of humour!”) Your sense of humour is something you can develop over a lifetime. Dont be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself-then you will make them laugh too.64. Humour includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humour because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes, a sense of humour requires being willing and able to see the funny side of lifes situations as they happen. In fact, one of the best definitions（定义）of a sense of humour is “the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation.”65. There may be a thousand differ
