This was not an easy task.The reason why this was difficult was that the team had limited resources. [2]They did not have enough staff，and the laboratory in which they worked had poor air quality.[3] However，after hundreds of failed experiments，they eventually came across⑤ a promising chemical.It worked well in experiments on animals，but they had to know if it was safe for humans.Tu Youyou bravely volunteered⑥ to be the first human subject when they were ready to start testing and the rest of her team followed her.The test was a success⑦.The medicine they discovered，artemisinin，has now become the world's most effective drug for fighting malaria. 词汇积累 佳句背诵 ①establish v.建立，设立；确立 ②millions of 数百万的；无数的 ③cure v.治愈；治疗(疾病)→ n.疗法；措施[词类活用] ④one by one 一个接一个 ⑤come across 偶遇，偶然发现 ⑥volunteer n.志愿者；志愿兵→v.自愿做[词类活用] ⑦success n.成功→成功的事物[熟词生义] [1]However，Tu Youyou had an idea that Chinese herbs might hold the secret.(that引导同位语从句) 然而，屠呦呦认为中药可能会起作用。 [2]The reason why this was difficult was that the team had limited resources.(the reason why...is /was that...……的原因是……) 这项任务不容易的原因是团队资源有限。 [3]They did not have enough staff，and the laboratory in which they worked had poor air quality.(“介词＋关系代词”引导定语从句) 他们没有足够的工作人员，工作的实验室空气质量很差。 【原文呈现】 The New Age of Invention Interviewer：Good evening，and welcome to Between the Pages.This evening，I'll be talking to Dr Richard Fairhurst[1]，whose newbook The New Age of Invention has just been published[2].Welcome，Richard!
