Artemisinin has saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and has led to improved health for millions of people. Over 200 million people around the world get malaria each year, and about 600, 000 die from it.

After she graduated, she worked at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing. In 1967, the Chinese government formed a team of scientists 4. ________ the objective of discovering a new treatment for malaria, and Tu Youyou was among the first researchers 5________(choose).

In 1969, she became the head of the project in Beijing, and decided to review ancient Chinese medical texts 6________(find) traditional botanical treatments for the disease. Her team examined over 2, 000 old medical texts, and evaluated 280, 000 plants for their medical properties. From their research, they discovered and tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments 7________ showed promise in the fight against malaria.
One medical text from the fourth century suggested 8________(use) the extract from sweet wormwood to treat a fever. Tu’s team tested a collection of dried wormwood leaves 9________ found no effect. They then tried boiling fresh wormwood, and using the liquid obtained from this to treat malaria, but this did not work either. Their project got 10. ________(stick). However, Tu Youyou would not acknowledge defeat. She analysed the medical texts again, and by chance, she found one sentence 11. ________(suggest) a different way to treat the wormwood. She concluded that boiling the sweet wormwood 12________（apparent） destroyed its medical properties. 13________(use) a lower temperature to draw out the extract, she found a substance that worked. After failing more than 190 times, the team finally succeeded in 1971. Tu Youyou and her team members even insisted on testing the medicine on themselves to make sure that it was safe. Later, the medicine 14________（ test） on malaria patients, most of whom recovered. This medicine，which was called artemisinin, soon became a standard treatment for malaria.
According to Tu Youyou, the discovery of artemisinin was a team effort. 15________ hearing that she had been awarded the Nobel Prize, she said, “The honour is not just mine. There is a team behind me，and all the people of my country. This success 16________(prove) the great value of traditional Chinese medicine. It is indeed 17________ honour for China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine to 18________（spread） around the world.”
