Step 5. Language points
(1) At that time women were not admitted to universities in Poland, so Marie was determined to go to Paris and study there. 当时在波兰妇女是不允许进大学的，因此，玛丽决定去巴黎学习。
admit vt.接纳，许可（人/物）进入(allow sb. / sth. to enter)。 例如：
Only two hundred boys and girls are admitted to our school every year.
我们学校每年只收二百名男女学生。
My sister was lucky to be admitted to Beijing University.
我的姐姐很幸运，被北京大学录取了。
She had a bad headache and was admitted to hospital this morning.

The windows are small and do not admit enough light and air.
窗户都很小，不能让足够的光线和空气进入室内。
(2) She succeeded in taking a first-class degree in physics two years after arriving in Paris.
到巴黎两年以后，她顺利地取得了一级物理学位。
① succeed vi. 成功，获得成功。succeed 后面常跟 in 引起的短语，构成succeed in sth. / doing sth. 的结构，表示“在......方面取得是成功”的意思。succeed in doing sth. 常可以有灵活的译法（见本句译文）。例如：
If you do not succeed at first, you must try again.
如果起初没有成功，你必须再试一次。
He didn't succeed in his first experiments.
他头几次试验都没有成功。
Did they succeed in their performances last week?
他们上周的演出成功了吗？
The Curies succeeded in discovering polonium in 1898.
居里夫妇于1898年成功地发现了钋。
I am sure they will succeed in passing the examination.
我肯定他们会顺利地通过考试。
② a first-class degree 大学学位分三级。第一级是最高级，第三级是最低级。
(3) Not long before another scientist had found that uranium gave off rays ...
不久以前，另外有位科学家发现过铀元素放出射线的现象.....。
① 句中所说的 another scientist 系指法国物理学家贝克勒尔（Antoine Henri Becquerel,1852—1908）.他从1895年起一直研究磷光现象。1896年发现铀的放射性，这是科学实验中认识放射性的开端。贝克勒尔首先发现放射现象，居里夫妇在此基础上进一步发现了钋。因此，1903年，贝克勒尔和居里夫妇一起共获诺贝尔物理奖。
② 短语动词give off 作“散发”、 “放出”（to send out sth., especially a liquid, gas or smell）解。例如：
Boiling water gives off steam. 沸腾的水散发出蒸气。
The gas gave off an unpleasant smell. 煤气散发出一种难闻的气味。
Let's go out and see the flowers. They're giving off a sweet fragrance.
咱们出去看看花吧。花儿正散发出一片芳香。
(4) There was a certain mineral which was even more radioactive than uranium.
有一种矿物，它具有放射性甚至比铀还强。
本句的定语从句中的形容词比较级 more radioactive 前用了副词 even, 以加强比较的语气和程度。在比较级前可以加的这类词或词组还有 much, far, still, a lot 等。例如：
This problem is much more difficult than that one.
这个问题比那个问题难得多。
The next day they got to a far bigger forest (than the first one).
第二天，他们来到一个大得多的森林。
Let's work harder to win still greater success.
让我们更加努力以取得更大的成功。
(5) In 1898 she discovered the first of these new radioactive minerals, which she named "polonium" in honour of her motherland — Poland ... 1898年，她现了这些新放射性矿物中的第一种。为向她的祖国—波兰表示敬意，她把这种矿物取名为“钋”......。
介词短语 in honour of sb. / sth. 意思是“为了纪念/尊敬某人/某事”。例如：
A monument was built in honour of their heroic deeds.
为了纪念他们的英雄事迹，建立了一座纪念碑。
A memorial meeting was held in honour of Dr Bethune.
为纪念白求恩医生而举行了悼念会。

(6) They devoted all their hours to working in their laboratory.
他们把全部时间投入了实验室工作。
短语动词 devote...to的意思是“专心致志于干某事”(do sth. in a very single-minded way), 短语中的 to 是介词，后接名词或 -ing 形式。 例如：
She devoted all her life to scientific work.
她毕生从事科学工作。
He devoted part of his time to the study of history.
他用一部分时间研究历史。
He devoted every effort to helping the disabled people.
他竭尽一切努力帮助残疾人。
They devoted themselves to the work of children's health care.
他们致力于儿童保健工作。
(7) We must work, and above all we must believe in ourselves.(=We must work, and first of all we must trust ourselves. ) 我们必须工作，尤其重要的是，我们必须对自己有信心。
① 句中的 above all 是插入语，意思是“首要的是”(of first importance) 或“尤其是”(most especially)。例如：
This is an important question and, above all, a question of which road to take.
这是一个重要的问题，尤其是走什么道路的问题。
Never waste anything, but above all never waste time.
任何东西都不可浪费，尤其不可浪费时间。
② believe in (= have faith in, trust) 信赖，信任；而 believe的意思则是“相信某人的话”。试比较：A: Do you believe him? 你相信他的话吗？
B: Yes, I do. But still he isn't a man to believe in.
我相信他的话，不过他还是一个不能信赖的人。
又如：
To live, one must have something to believe in.
为了生活，人们总得有某种信奉的东西。
(8) We must believe that each one of us is able to do something well, and that, when we discover what this something is, we must work hard at it until we succeed.
我们必须相信，我们每一个人都能把某件事情办好；而且，当我们发现这事情是什么的时候，我们就必须努力干下去，直到成功为止。
① 句子分析：这是一个复合句。主句是 We must believe ... ，后跟两个由 that 引导的宾语从句。第一个宾语从句是 each one of us is able to do something well;第二个宾语从句又是一个复合句，其中主句是 we must work hard at it, 后跟一个时间状语从句 until we succeed. 另外还有一个时间状语从句 when we discover ... ,紧接一个宾语从句 what this something is.
② 不定代词 something, anything, nothing 前通常不加定语。此句中的 this something是作者的特殊用法，指上文中 to do something well 中的 something。居里夫人思想中的这个something 是指人们的“生活目标”。something, anything, nothing 等词的定语通常是加在这些词的后面，如 something new, nothing important, anything else等。
③ work hard at 意思是“为了......而努力工作”。例如：
He is working hard at a maths problem.
他正在用心做一道数学题。
You can make rapid progress in your English if you work hard at it.
如果你努力学习，你的英语会迅速取得进步。
(9) She refused to treat these new discoveries as though they belonged to her, ...
= She refused to regard these new discoveries as her own, ...
她不同意把这些新发现看作是属于她自己的东西， ......。连词词组 as though / if 含义是“好似”，“就好像”，通常接方式状语从句。 例如：
I remember the story as though/if it happened only yesterday.
我记得这件事的经过，就好像是昨天才发生似的。
This American girl speaks Chinese as if/though she were a Chinese.
这个美国女孩说起汉语来就像中国人一样。
They talked as if / though they had been old friends.
他们说话的神情好像是老朋友似的。
Step 6. Reading comprehension

Tell the students to read the text and underline the language points. Talk about the language difficulties with the students.
(1) Polonium is used to set off a nuclear bomb. =... is used to make a nuclear bomb explode. 钋用来引爆核弹。
短语动词 set off 作不及物动词时，意思是“出发”；用及物动词时，意思是“使爆发/爆炸”，“引起”。在本句中是后一种用法。又如：
We'd better set off at 7 tomorrow morning.
我们最好明天早晨七点出发。
An explosion was set off by the burning gas.
燃烧的煤气引起了爆炸。
A slight touch will set the bomb off.
稍一触动就会使炸弹爆炸。

(2) Radioactive matter is dangerous to work with because it has a bad effect on the blood.从事放射性物质的工作是危险的，因为它对血液有不良影响。
① 本句的主句属于“主语+be+形容词+不定式”的句式。类似的句子有：

② have effect on 对......产生影响。例如：

(3) In fact, radium not only damaged their health but also made the laboratory equipment with which they were working radioactive. (= In fact, radium not only harmed their health, but also caused their laboratory equipment to become radioactive.)
事实上，镭不仅损害了他们的健康，而且还使他们工作用的实验室设备也都具有放射性了。
第二个并列谓语 made the laboratory equipment radioactive 是一个“make + 复合宾语（宾语+宾语补足语）”的结构。本句中的宾语补足语是形容词 radioactive,表示宾语的性质或状态。本句的宾语 laboratory equipment 后面有一个限制性定语从句 with which they were working, 说明“他们所用以工作的实验设备”也具有放射性。
例如：
Disney's new ideas made his movies more lively and interesting.
迪斯尼的新设想使他的影片更加生动有趣了。
They are trying to make things easy and comfortable.
