IV. Read the following passage and do as directed. (17-22)

Scientist Marie Curie made important discoveries in the area of radioactivity. She was born in Poland in 1867. She went to France to study science and became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in physics. She later won another Nobel Prize in science for her work in finding the elements radium and polonium. Even though she was a woman working in an area dominated by men, Curie stayed committed to her work and kept making important contributions to science. She died in 1934 from being exposed to radiation, but she will always be remembered as a leader in the field of nuclear science and a role model for scientists to come.
