    Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

    Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sevigne in Paris.

    At the age of 17 Irene entered the University of Paris to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities(设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognized in the form of a Military's Medal by the French government.

    In 1918, Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.

    Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity(辐射能). Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.

    Most of us lead a busy life.____We think, “If I reached my goal, then I would be happy”, or “If I could get a better job, then I would enjoy life.” But why not enjoy life right now?

    Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings.____ “There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!” And as Brodersen explains, “Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friend's smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up.”

    Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease your stress. Take me for example.____One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.

    Thirdly, don't take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them?____As Wayne Lawton explains, “Invest time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what's in it for me?

A. Be aware of beauty in nature.

        ①从第一次踏进这间病房时起,我便有些讨厌3号床的那个陪床的男人。
        ②男人姓苏,四十多出头的样子,穿一件皱皱巴巴的短衫,浓眉凹目,络腮胡子,看上去挺吓人的。“络腮胡子”大大咧咧的。说话时声带上像是安了喇叭,从不掩饰自己的喜怒哀乐。他非常爱吃肉,羊排、猪杂儿、红烧牛肉是他食谱上的主角。尤其是到了中午,他总是喜欢买回五六个酱紫色的猪蹄儿,啃得啧啧作响,弄得那张原本就腻乎乎的脸像是刚从油锅里浸过一般。
        ③每天中午只要一吃完饭,“络腮胡子”便毫不客气地把挨着窗台的那个空床据为己有,人往上面一躺,两分钟不到便鼾声四起,给人的感觉这儿不是病房倒是他的家。
        ④同“络腮胡子”形成鲜明对比的是1号床的那对母子,极少说话,总是安安静静的。
        ⑤1号床女人患乳腺癌,刚刚做了手术。她有两个孩子,女儿读高三,儿子上小学。她的男人只靠种地和养些鸡鸭挣生活。正值夏播季节,男人极少来探望,更多的时候只有那个十二三岁的男孩守候着母亲。男孩很懂事,主动包揽了整个病房里的热水供应。每次有人帮他扶着母亲去做检查,男孩总忘不了说声“谢谢”。
        ⑥1号床的桌上基本没什么水果,偶尔有个苹果或一两块西瓜,母子俩是推来让去的。
有时男人会带些从街上买点儿卤肉来,女人总是先埋怨男人乱花钱,然后把大部分肉夹到孩子的碗里。
        ⑦一天,男人来探视时竟带了一小袋炸蝉蛹来,黄灿灿、香脆脆的。男人给我和“络腮胡子”各抓了一把,一屋子人嚼出了满嘴的香。尤其是“络腮胡子”,像发现了新大陆般,一再恳求1号床的男人帮自己弄点儿,说在饭店里吃过这东西,25块钱一盘,却没这个新鲜,只要能帮着弄些来,自己愿意按一元一个买他的。
        ⑧1号床的男人笑了笑,没说什么。
        ⑨几天后,1号床的男人果然又弄了些来,“络腮胡子”如获至宝,非要给对方27块钱,1号床的男人不肯收。“络腮胡子”便硬是把钱塞给了男孩,并且说自己就喜欢吃这口儿,只要是活的,有多少要多少。
        ⑩1号床的男人没在意,男孩却把这话放在了心上,一到傍晚便跑到医院后面的树林里去找,最多时一晚上竟能挖到二三十个,“络腮胡子”总是照数全收。
        ⑪有了这项收入,1号床的餐桌渐渐丰盛起来,中午时,男孩会为母亲买上一个肉菜,晚上,再加上一袋鲜奶。
        ⑫这样的日子持续了半个月,一天,男孩悄悄地告诉我,“络腮胡子”吃蝉蛹上了瘾,现在有两个小朋友在帮着挖,他按2毛钱一个从小朋友手里收来再卖给“络腮胡子”。
        ⑬我惊讶于男孩的聪明,也为他能找到这样一个赚钱的途径而高兴。
        ⑭婆婆出院时,我把亲友送的水果、奶粉和罐头之类的东西留给1号床,起初1号床的女人不肯收,我谎称车小,再跑一趟还不够油钱,那女人才讪讪地接受了。
        ⑮后来的一天,我去医院办理医保退款手续,从停车场出来,刚走了几步,远远看到“络腮胡子”手里拎着一个塑料袋子,径直走进路旁的灌木丛中。
        ⑯等到走近,我才发现,他从塑料袋里倒出的,竟是一堆儿蝉蛹!
        ⑰“苏大哥,这……”
        ⑱他抬头,见是我,尴尬地笑了笑:“买得太多……”
        ⑲“那你还买它干嘛?”我疑惑地瞅着他。
        ⑳“嘿嘿……”他挠了挠头,露出一脸和他的年龄极不相称的腼腆,“看那一家怪不容易的。大忙咱也帮不上,添个菜钱还是有的。”
       我恍然大悟,原来苏大哥一直在用这样的方式帮助1号床的病友。
       那一刻,我的心头忽然涌起一股别样的温暖……
