The 2015 Nobel Prizes have been announced. Sweden's Nobel Prize committee said the Nobel Prize for medicine will go to scientists from Ireland, Japan and China. William Campbell from Ireland and Satoshi Omura from Japan share the prize for their discovery of the drug avcrmectin（除虫菌素）.The prize for medicine is also going to Tu Youyou. She discovered artemisinin（青蒿素）. Artemisinin is a drug that has greatly lowered the number of people who die from malaria(疟疾). The committee said her greatest achievement is that discovery of artemisinin has given the world new ways to fight against two serious diseases. That's why Ms. Tu got the prize. It is said those diseases influence millions of people every year.

Ms. Tu is the chief professor at the China Academy of Traditional Medicine. She is also the first Chinese citizen to be awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine. It took her great and painful effort to make the great discovery. She always tested the medicine by herself and her liver(肝) got badly hurt. From 1972 to 2012, Ms. Tu went through about 40 failures before she succeeded. But she never gave up and always fought on.

A member of the Nobel committee said that the award for Tu Youyou is the result of a great change in the way that Chinese do scientific research. He says China has spent a lot of money on this kind of research. This member also said that the work of the three scientists could help end the health risk of diseases affecting 3.4 billion people.

The world is not only hungry, it will also be thirsty for water. About 97% of water on the earth is sea water, or salty(咸的) water. Man can only drink or use the other 3% of the fresh water(淡水) which comes from rivers, lakes and underground.

The sea is very big. Look at the map of the world, there is more sea than land. It covers(覆盖) quarters of the earth, it looks very beautiful when the sun is shinning on it. But it can be terrible when there is a strong wind. Some parts of the sea are very deep. There is one place near Japan. It's nearly 11 kilometers high. If we put that mountain into the sea at that place, there would be 2 kilometers of water above it!

The sea is salty. There is one "sea" called the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is not a sea. It's a big lake in the Jordan Valley. It's the saltiest. It's near the city of Jericho. It's about 80.kilometres long, between 4.8 and 17.7 kilometers wide. The river Jordan runs into the Dead Sea. The sun is not there and the water is salty. Fish can't live in the Dead Sea and plants can't grow near it. People can't swim well in the Dead Sea, but they can float(漂浮) on the water. The water is very blue and the air is clean. In winter, people come to the Dead Sea to enjoy the sunshine.

It was the first day of class. Two of Tara’s new ESL (English as a Second Language) classmates wanted to know where she was from. They were both from Korea. Because Tara looked like Korean, one of the women asked Tara, in English, if she was from Korea. Tara replied, “No, I’m not.” Then the women took turns asking Tara if she was from Japan, or Thailand, or China. To each question, Tara answered them a simple “no”. Laughing, one woman said to the other, “She’s not from anywhere!” The two went to their desks, talking to each other in Korean.

The next day, the teacher divided the students into groups of four. The students in each group asked introductory questions of each other. A student in Tara’s group asked her, “Where are you from?” Tara answered that she was from Korea. The two women who had questioned Tara the day before were sitting only a few feet away. Both of them heard Tara’s answer.

“Aha!” they both exclaimed, “You are from Korea!” Tara smiled and said yes. Then she apologized (道歉) to both of them for lying the day before. She told them that she had not wanted to get into a Korean conversation with them. It had been her experience that many ESL students continued to speak their mother languages in ESL class, and Tara had not come to ESL class to practice her Korean. In her opinion, ESL students should try to speak English only.

“I agree.” said Rose.

“You’re 100 percent right.” agreed Jenny, “Rose and I must stop speaking Korean to each other. Right, Rose?” Rose nodded, and then said something in Korean. All three women laughed.

Recycling is a way to take trash and turn it into new products. There are a number of different recycling processes that allow materials to be used more than once.

All kinds of materials can be recycled. Some of the most common processes in use today involve（牵涉） recycling plastic, glass, metals , paper, electronics and so on. Items made of these materials include soda cans, plastic boxes, newspapers, old computers, and cardboard boxes.

There are many steps in recycling. It isn’t actually a simple process and is different for each type of material. For example, paper starts its recycling process by being mixed with water and other chemicals to break it down. This process finally turns the paper into a pulp(纸浆). Then remove the plastics and other useless materials from the pulp. After that, it gets cleaned. Now the pulp is ready to be made into new paper.

However, computers and batteries（电池） are usually recycled in order to remove harmful chemicals as well as to find again some valuable materials such as gold.

In general, we should follow different steps in the recycling process. These steps are:

•Collecting recyclable materials, like cans and plastic bottles.

•Processing(加工) the old materials and making new items.

•Buying items made from recycled materials.
