16.Madame Curie,the youngest of five children,was born in Warsaw,Poland in 1867.Marie Curie's maiden name was Manya.Her parents were teachers,and she learned the importance of education at an early age.No higher education was offered to women in Poland at that time,so Manya
took a job as a governess (女家庭教師).She sent part of her income to
Paris to help pay for her older sister's medical studies.Her sister qualified as a doctor and married a fellow doctor in 1891.Manya went to join them in Paris,changing her name to Marie.
She entered the Sorbonne (now the Universities of Paris) and studied physics and mathematics,graduating at the top of her class.For the research she wanted to do,she was introduced to another young scientist,Pierre Curie.Later they fell in love with each other.After their marriage,they worked
together on radioactivity.
After she was rewarded the Nobel Prize,fame troubled Marie Curie
and also her husband,because science was their world and in this world of
science fame and honor to persons had no value.One day when a writer fora newspaper tried to ask Marie about herself and her thoughts and her
beliefs,she answered him,"In science we must be interested in things,not inpersons."Much of the real character and spirit of this unusual woman was
found in these few words,which she was later often to repeat.One evening,at a big party,a friend asked if she would like to meet the King of Greece,who was also a guest.She answered in her simple manner,"I don't see the value of it."Then,seeing that she had hurt the feelings of her friend,she
quickly added,"But …but…of course,I shall do whatever you please.Just as you please."
