SECTION A - READING
Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follows:
Marie curie was one of the most accomplished scientists in history. Together with her
husband pierre, she discovered radium, an element widely used for treating cancer, and
studied uranium and other radioactive substances.pierre and Marie's amicable
collaboration later helped to unlock the secrets of the atom.
Marie was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, where her father was a professor of physics
At the early age, she displayed a brilliant mind and a blithe personality. Her great
exuberance for learning prompted her studies after high school. She became disgruntled,
however, when she learned that the university in Warsaw was closed to women.
Determined to receive a higher education, she defiantly left Poland and in 1891 entered
the Sorbonne, a French university, where she earned her master's degree and doctorate
in physics.
Marie was fortunate to have studied at the Sorbonne with some of the greatest scientists
if her day, one of whom was Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre were married in 1895 and
spent many productive years working together in the physics laboratory. A short time
after they discovered radium, Pierre was killed by a horse-drawn wagon in 1906. Marie
was stunned by this horrible misfortune and endured heartbreaking anguish. Despondently
she recalled their close relationship and the joy that they had shared in scientific research.
The fact that she had two youny daughters to raise by herself greatly increased her
distress.
Curie's feeling of desolation finally began to fade when she was asked to succeed her
husband as a physics professor at the Sorbonne. She was the first woman to be given a
professorship at the world-famous university. In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in
chemistry for isolating radium. Although Marie Curie eventually suffered a fatal illness
from her long exposure to radium, She never became dissilusioned about her work
regardless of the consequences, she had dedicated herself to science and to revealing
the mysteries of the physics world.
