A twentieth-century womanMarya Skodowska was born on November 7, 1867, in Poland. Marya’s father wanted his five children to go to college, but the family was poor. In fact, Marya worked for six years to make money so her elder sister Bronya could study medicine in Paris. When Bronya finished medical school in 1891, 23-year-old Marya went to Paris to begin her own study.In July 1893, Marie passed her physics exam first in her class. At this time, she met Pierre curie, a young scientist. Marie and Pierre found that they had much in common. They both believed that science was the most important part of their lives. They didn’t care about money or about being comfortable. They fell in love, and were married on July 26, 1895. Marie and Pierre were very happy. They discussed their work as well as the most recent scientific events, such as the discovery of X rays. Marie was interested in this research and began to look for unknown elements that had such rays. Pierre stopped his own research in order to help Marie in her work. He realized that she was about to make an important discovery.In 1898, they discovered two new elements that gave off X rays. In those days, no one knew that such materials were dangerous. They did not know that working with these materials caused their illness, and they kept working. Finally, in 1902, they proved that radium (镭) is real.On June 25, 1903, Madame became the first woman to receive a doctor of science degree from the Sorbonne. Then she received an even greater award. In 1903, Marie and Pierre and Henri were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics.4 Marya was happy even if she lived in hard living conditions.

Life on the FarmLife on the farm is always changing. New technologies and a rising interest in healthier and organic eating have a huge impact on how farms do business. At the same time, a growing population has put more demands on farmers. They need to find ways to increase their production levels. The small family farms that used to produce most of the products have been largely replaced by factory farms. Small family farms that are still operating are struggling to keep up.Technology has made most aspects of farm life easier than it has ever been before. Bigger and more efficient equipment makes work such as plowing up fields and sowing the seeds easier. Such tasks used to take two or three times as long. These advances have allowed farmers to work faster and more efficiently than ever before.In addition to newer technology, factory farms produce more products for less money than traditional farming would require,Modern farm life, despite the introduction of new technologies, has not changed much from what it has always been. Farmers still wake up early, and spend their days doing hard work. There are still animals to feed, cows to milked, and fields to be plowed. Farm life still requires a lot of work and sacrifice.The main change in modern farm is in the way farmers are run. It is common for even small farmers to have several hired workers and even an animal manager. Family-run farms are becoming rarer. Factory farms, with other larger farm corporations, are becoming the norm. Although there are still many traditional family farms, they are quickly dying as modern practices change farm life forever.Factory farms now produce most of the products.
