Tu Youyou, an 84-year-old scientist, became the first female (女性)Chinese to win a Nobel Prize in science on Oct,5. She shared the 2015 Nobel Prize for medicine because of the new medicine for malaria(疟疾). Tu started the research in the 1970s that made her find artemisinin(青蒿素), a kind of medicine that has saved many people’s lives.

However, Tu was awarded for “three firsts”. She was the first to bring artemisinin to her team, the first to extract(提取) artemisinin that can stop malaria, and the first to finish the experiment.

our. On the other hand, don’t break it up so much, or you can’t finish anything, you should be able to work at least a half at a time without stopping.
