Marie Curies, born in Sklodovka, Poland in 1876，led a hard life as a girl. Her parents, both teachers，had small salaries and were quite poor, especially after her mother stopped teaching to raise five children and take care of her poor health. Marie's mother suffered from tuberculosis (肺结核) and died of it when Marie was ten.

When Marie was small, she showed great interest in science.She loved to study and hoped to become a scientist when she grew up. Her parents encouraged her interest in science.Excellent as she was in her studies，she couldn't go on with the advanced education she needed because Poland was then ruled by Russia and women were not permitted to go to college.

In order to continue her education, she smoothed away many difficulties and entered Paris University，where she lived a simple life and studied hard, so she graduated with the highest grades in her class.

After graduation she was engaged in scientific research in Paris University. There she met Pierre Curie, whom she married.Pierre joined her in her research into an unknown phenomenon “radiation”，which a certain scientist had declared that uranium gave off.The Curies spent several years trying their best to find the element that produced radiation. Finally they succeeded in 1902.

Robert Michael Lipsyte is an American sports journalist and author. He was born on January 16，1938 in New York. Lipsyte's father was a school head teacher, his mother a teacher. Instead of sharing a game of catch with his father，the two often visited the library and read books. One of Lipsyte's children，Sam Lipsyte，is also an author and teacher at Columbia University in New York.

In the first chapter of his book SportsWorld，Lipsyte points out that he did not even attend his first Major League Baseball game until he was thirteen years old.Lipsyte says he was very disappointed with his experience at the game and went to only one more game “as a paying customer”. His third Major League Baseball game was as a sports reporter for The New York Times.

As a boy，Lipsyte did play sports, but he felt acute pressure to do better than others at sports which discouraged his interest. This experience later developed into a major theme in some of Lipsyte's non­fiction works such as SportsWorld and novels like Jock and Jill and One Fat Summer. The main character of One Fat Summer, Bobby Marks, is an adolescent in the 1950s. He is overweight and does something about it. In 1952，Lipsyte took a summer job as a lawn(草坪) boy and lost forty pounds, ridding himself of the youthful reputation for being fat.

In 1978，Robert Lipsyte was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer. His experience with the illness led to another novel for young adults, The Chemo Kid. Fred Bauer, the main character, is an ordinary high school junior and discovers he has cancer. Amazingly, Fred acquires superpowers, apparently due to the treatments, and becomes “The Chemo Kid”， fighting for the environment and against drug dealers.

Lipsyte was given a position in the New Jersey Literary Hall of Fame(名人堂) in 1993. The Margaret A．Edwards Award is an American Library Association literary award that annually recognizes an author and a specific body of his or her work for “significant and lasting contribution to young adult literature”. Lipsyte won the award in 2001, citing (表彰) four books published from 1967 to 1993. According to the citation, “Lipsyte's books focus on the search for self­definition by young adults.”

5．What can we learn about Lipsyte?

A．He devoted his childhood to sports.

B．He taught at Columbia University.

C．He came from an educated family.

D．He has only one child in his life.

C　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Lipsyte's father was a school head teacher，his mother a teacher”可知，利普斯特来自书香门第。]

6．What did Lipsyte do the second time he went to a     Major League Baseball game?

A．He watched the game.

B．He reported the game.

C．He played the game and lost it.

D．He collected material for his book.

A　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“went to only one more game‘as a paying customer’”可知，利普斯特第二次参与美国职业棒球大联盟比赛是作为观众，买票观赛。]

7．What do Bobby Marks and young Lipsyte have in   common?

A．They didn't play sports.

B．They didn't like summer.

C．They dealt with their weight problem.

D．They reached adulthood in the 1950s.

C　[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Bobby Marks...is overweight and does something about it.In 1952，Lipsyte...lost forty pounds，ridding himself of the youthful reputation for being fat.”可知，鲍比·马克斯和青少年时期的利普斯特都受肥胖困扰并积极解决这个问题。]

8．Why was Lipsyte given the Margaret A．Edwards   Award in 2001?

A．Because he has achieved widespread fame.

B．Because he has written good books for teens.

C．Because he has talked about hot topics in his books.

D．Because he has published a significant number of books.

B　[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The Margaret A．Edwards Award...recognizes an author and a specific body of his or her work for‘significant and lasting contribution to young adult literature’．”及利普斯特的表彰词“Lipsyte's books focus on the search for self­definition by young adults”可知，利普斯特获奖是因为他写的青少年读物对青少年产生了深远影响。]
