题目：A Brief Introduction of Qian Xuesen
Born into a wealthy family on December 11th, 19111, Zhejiang Province, Qian Xuesen was so clever that he was regarded as a “super talented” boy in his childhood. Having graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1934, he went to America for his further study and gained his doctor’s degree in the Science of Astronomy. Since he returned to China, he has devoted all his life to China’s AnA industry, taking part in the design and research of rockets and missiles as well as opening a new era of China’s Astronomy industry.
It’s for his outstanding achievements that Qian Xuesen is honored as the “Father of China’s Astronomy” and the “King of Rockets”. Qian Xuesen, a pioneer of China’s Astronomy industry, passed away in November, 2009 in Beijing.

Marie Curie-a great scientist
As an outstanding scientist, Marie Curie was born in Poland in 1867. From her childhood, she, as a gifted girl, hoped to become a scientist.
In 1895 she married Professor Pierre Curie. They researched together into radioactive matters and discovered pure polonium and radium. It was because of their remarkable findings that they won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903.
After her husband died, she wasn't frustrated and continued her research. She received a second Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911. So she became the first scientist in the world to win two Nobel Prizes and due to her substantial contribution, she was acknowledged as one of the greatest women scientists in the world.
