 READING
Marie Curie

Marie Curie grew up in Warsaw, Poland where she was born on November 7, 1867. Her birth name was Maria
Sklodowska, but her family called her Manya. Her parents were both teachers. Her dad taught math and physics
and her mom was the principal at a girl's school.
Marie learned to read and write early. She was a very intelligent girl and did well in school. She had an excellent
memory and worked hard on her studies.
While Marie became a teenager her family had very difficult times because Poland was under the control of Russia
and the Russians did not permit people to read or write anything in Polish. Her father lost his job because he was in
favor of Polish rule. Then, when Marie was ten, her oldest sister Zofia became sick and died. Two years later her
mother died from tuberculosis. This was a difficult time for the young Marie.
After graduating from high school, Marie wanted to go to university, but this wasn't something that young women
did in Poland in the 1800s. The university was for men. However, there was a famous university in Paris, France
called the Sorbonne where women could study. Marie did not have the money to go there, but agreed to work to
help to pay for her sister Bronislawa to go to school in France, and in change, she could help Marie after she
graduated.
It took six years, but, after Bronislawa graduated and became a doctor, Marie moved to France and entered the
Sorbonne. During the next six years Marie read a lot of books on math and physics. She knew she wanted to become
a scientist.
Marie arrived in France in 1891. She changed her name from Manya to Marie because they didn´t want her to have
a Polish name. Marie lived the life of a poor college student, but she loved every minute of it. She was learning so
much. After three years she got her degree in Physics.
In 1894 Marie met Pierre Curie. Like Marie, he was a scientist and they fell in love. They married a year later and
soon had their first child, a daughter named Irene.
In 1903, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Marie and Pierre Curie as well as Henri Becquerel for their work
in radiation. Marie became the first woman to get the Novel Prize.
In 1911 Marie won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering two elements, polonium and radium. She was the
first person who got two Nobel Prizes. Marie became very famous. Scientists came from around the world to study
radioactivity with Marie. Soon doctors found that radiology could help with curing cancer.
She died on July 4th, 1934 in Passy, Haute-Savoie, France.

Read carefully and write and answer the questions with and appropriate word, words or phrase.
