One summer he got a job in a butcher(屠夫)’s shop during the daytime, and another in a hospital at night. In the shop, he learned to cut and sell meat.

During the Crimean War in 1854 many soldiers were wounded or became ill. News reached England that they received very little care. At once Florence Nightingale wrote to the War Office and offered her services. She went with a band of thirty-eight nurses to the hospitals at Scutari.
What they saw there was even worse than they expected. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled. The officer there did not want any women to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurses went to work.
Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicines, and food for the men. Her only pay was smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.
She fell dangerously ill herself, but she did not stop working. Her thin hands worked day and night. Even in the last hours of night— she could be seen walking with a lamp past each bed. The soldiers often kissed her shadow as "the lady of the lamp" went by.

It was in Paris that Marie met and married Pierre Curie, a young scientist who had already won respect.
Together they made their experiments in an old wooden house that was too cold and damp (潮湿) for their health. They knew that some elements (元素) in the world gave off a strange power that could go through other objects. They found more of this power in some elements than in others, which made them believe that it must be a new element itself.
For years they tried experiments to separate this powerful new element. Then they found something which they called radium (镭). Its power was very much greater than the power contained (包含) in other elements.
The Curies were given the Nobel Prize for their great discovery, but they were toe ill to go to Stockholm themselves to receive it. They used the money for further experiments on the uses ‘of radium. They found it could be used in treating diseases.
Pierre died suddenly just after he had been offered a good post at, a university. Marie Curie was given the post. She thus became the first woman ever to teach there.
