Sample Writing
To me, one of the most inspiring people in modern history is Tu Youyou, a great Chinese medical scientist. Born in 1930, she has dedicated her life to fighting deadly diseases around the world.
Tu Youyou lived and worked in China at a time when malaria was killing millions of people every year. She knew she had to find a solution, so she spent years researching traditional Chinese medicine to discover a cure.
Her biggest achievement was discovering artemisinin, a medicine that treats malaria. She did thousands of experiments, and even tested the medicine on herself to make sure it was safe. She believed that everyone deserved access to life-saving treatment, no matter where they lived.
Though Tu Youyou is in her 90s, her spirit of perseverance and selflessness lives on. I think she is still a great inspiration to scientists and people everywhere. Now, more than ever, the world needs her courage and dedication to fight global health challenges and build a healthier future for all.(共12张PPT)

Unit 2 Inspiring People
Learning Objectives
In this lesson you will:
1. learn about Edward Jenner’s story and how he helped stop smallpox.
2. talk about what qualities Jenner had and what they can learn from
him.
Edward Jenner and the Battle Against Smallpox
Smallpox used to be one of the worst global diseases. It killed millions of people in history. However, we do not hear much about it anymore. Why Because it is no longer around in nature. This happened mainly because of the work of Edward Jenner (1749-1823), an English doctor and scientist.
Jenner did not have an easy childhood. His parents died when he was young, and his elder brother raised him. It was difficult for him to do
well in school, but he had a passion for nature. At 13, he became an apprentice to a doctor for eight years. An apprentice is a young person who learns a job by working for someone else. It was hard for doctors to be well-respected at that time because modern medicine had not fully developed. When he was 21, he studied at a hospital in London.
After he finished his studies, Jenner went back to his home in the countryside because he liked it more. There, he became a family doctor and people started to hear about his good work. In his free time, he continued to do research and study nature.
It was while working as a doctor that Jenner discovered that milkmaids—women who milk cows—rarely got smallpox. They often got cowpox, a disease like smallpox, but these milkmaids did not get very sick and they did not die. He wondered: Do
milkmaids get protected from smallpox just because they often get cowpox
To test this, Jenner came up with the idea of first giving some people cowpox, then giving them smallpox. These people did not get the smallpox! After many other tests, he realized that cowpox could actually be used to protect people from getting smallpox.
Jenner invented a new word to describe what he hadcreated:“vaccine". The word comes from the Latin word for “cow". It was wonderful that, because of Jenner's work, smallpox is not around anymore and
people no longer die from it. His pioneering research has been used to create vaccines for other diseases.
A. He became one of the best doctors in the world.
B. He developed a new way to do science.
C. He found a way to protect people from a disease.

1f
1. Why did Zhong Yang want more people to do seed collection
and research
From the article, we know that seed banks need many different kinds of seeds to protect important plants from disappearing forever. The work of seed collection and research is very hard, and it involves a huge amount of work. Also, he knew that important scientific work could be done better with more people involved. He wanted to train local students to become scientists so that the research could continue, and more seeds and plant information could be collected for China and the world.
2. What made Zhong Yang admirable What can we learn from him
What made him admirable:
He dedicated his whole life to researching plants and seeds, collecting many important seeds for China’s seed banks to protect plant diversity.
He overcame great difficulties (cold weather, high altitudes, illness) to collect seeds in Xizang, showing strong perseverance and dedication.
He trained local students to continue the work, passing on his spirit and knowledge, which means his legacy lives on beyond his own life.
What we can learn from him:
We should have a strong love and curiosity for our chosen field, and stick to our goals even when facing hardships.
We should be willing to make contributions to society and the world, not just for personal gain.
We should value passing on knowledge and spirit to younger generations, so that good work can continue for a long time.
