31、en I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day painting it for three days. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked for was a glass of iced tea and for me to hold a paint brush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy.Five years ago, at age
32、71, my father spent five hours putting together a swingset (秋千组)for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea and talk to him. But again, I was -too busy.Four years ago, my father drove all the way from Denver to Topeka, with an eight-8foot Colorado blue spruce(蓝叶云杉)in
33、his trunk, so that my husband and I could have a part of Colorado growing on our land. I was preparing for a trip that weekend and couldnt spend much time with him.Then, one day, my father telephoned me as usual, this time from my sisters home in Florida. We talked about the tree he had brought me,
34、“Fat Albert“，but that morning he called it Fat Oscar“, and he seemed to have forgotten some things. I had to get to church, so I cut the conversation short.The call came at 4:44 p.m. that day: my father was in hospital in Florida with an aneurysm (动脉瘤).

My Father and Our Family.D85-year-old Tu is awarded the Nobel Prize for her contribution to reducing the 9death rate of malaria（疟疾）, minimizing patients suffering and promoting mankinds health.
39、 This is what science is all about.Tus name “Youyou”, came from the Classic of Poetry. The characters depict（描绘）the cheerful sounds deer make when calling for mates. Tus finding has saved millions lives during the 40 years. This also proves the value of her research product. The moment of joy and sa
40、tisfaction when she discovered the artemisinin (青蒿素) in 1971 after all kinds of failures in experiments is eternal.Tu has won some attention when she got the Lasker Award in 2011.

41、iversity Health Science Center, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, from 1951 to 1955. Lets backtrack to 40 years ago. Tu finished the findings without using any advanced equipment, communication with outside world and papers to research. Nowadays, Chinese scientists have the passion to invent. A

44、ndings are good enough.The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds also reminds us that science should be more accessible(易接近的) to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one devotes into scientific research. They work
45、so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researcher will be closer to the right one.Artemisinin and science saved lived around the world. Tu saved the confidence of Chinese scientists, who will care less about whether a Chinese scientist be awarded 10the Nobel Prize in the future. ( )54. Wh
