[02:28.43]MADAME CURIE(1)
[02:32.58]Madame Curie will always be remembered as the discoverer of radium.
[02:38.64]Marie Curie was born in Poland,on November 7th,1867.
[02:45.49]When she was young,she became interested in physics
[02:50.63]and read as many books as she could on the subject.
[02:55.36]At that time women were not admitted to universities in Poland,
[03:01.52]so Marie was determined to go to Paris and study there.
[03:07.56]She arrived in Paris in 1891.
[03:11.79]She had very little money to live on,
[03:15.74]ate very little and was always cold in winter.
[03:21.01]There was a small fire in her room,but she had to carry coal up six floors
[03:29.27]and wear an overcoat in her small room to keep warm.
[03:34.54]She succeeded in taking a first-class degree in physics
[03:38.62]two years after arriving in Paris.
[03:42.67]After graduation she took another degreen in mathematics.
[03:47.84]In 1895 she married Pierre Curie,a very bright scientist
[03:55.39]who was teaching at the School of Physics and Industrial Chemistry at Paris.
[04:01.35]Marie started to do research,
[04:05.32]even though she had very little equipment and no money.
[04:10.36]Not long before another scientist had found that uranium gave off rays,
[04:17.02]so Marie decided to study this area for her doctor's degree.
[04:22.48]She gave these rays a new name"radioactive".
[04:28.04]One day she made an important discovery.
[04:32.20]There was a certain mineral which was even more radioactive than uranium.
[04:38.36]Therefore,she decided,it must contain some other matter
[04:43.22]that no one had yet discovered.
[04:46.88]In 1898 she discovered the first of these new radioactive minerals,
[04:54.32]which she named"polonium"in honour of her motherland---Poland,
[05:00.67]and on which she wrote a research paper.
[05:04.93]From then on,Marie and Pierre worked together on their research.
[05:10.67]They devoted all their hours to working in their laboratory.
[05:15.40]As months went by,the work seemed endless.
[05:20.47]Marie described her thoughts in words much like this:
[05:25.20]"Life is not easy for any of us.
[05:29.04]We must work ,and above all we must believe in ourselves.
[05:35.10]We must believe that each one of us is able to do something well,
[05:40.95]and that,when we discover what this something is,
[05:46.10]we must work hard at it until we succeed.
[05:50.77]One evening in 1902 as she was sitting with Pierre at home,she said to him,
[05:58.22]"Let's go down to the laboratory again."
[06:02.29]It was nine o'clock and they had been there only two hours before.
[06:08.04]They put on their overcoats and went down to the laboratory.
[06:13.00]As they opened the door on the ground floor,Marie said,
[06:18.78]"Don't light the lamps.Look!"
[06:22.82]On the laboratory bench was a glass container from which came a tiny soft light.
