A

John von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker，and his speed of learning new ideas and of solving problems stood out early.At 17，his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he may lead a poor life being a

mathematician，and so von Neumann agreed to study chemistry as well.In 1926，at 23，he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph.D.in mathematics.From then on，mathematics provided well enough for him，and he never had to turn to chemistry.

In 1930，von Neumann vi sited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there.His first book was published in 1932.In 1933，the Institute for Advanced Study was formed，and he became one of the 6 full­time people in the School of Mathematics(Einstein was one of the others)．

World War Ⅱhugely changed von Neumann's areas of interest.Until 1940 he had been a great pure(纯粹的) mathematician.During and after the war，he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematics theories into practice.During the last part of the war he became interested in computing machines and made several fundamental contributions.After the war，von Neumann continued his work with computers，and was generally very active in government service.He received many awards，was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission.He died in 1957 of cancer.

Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm place in history.He will be remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.

Von Neumann really was a legend(传奇) in his own time，and there are a number of stories about him.His driving ability is a part of this legend.He reported one accident this way：“I was driving down the road.The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour.Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”

Alzheimer's disease(老年痴呆症) affects millions of people

around the world.American researchers say the disease will affect

more than one hundred million people worldwide by the year

2050.That would be four times the current number.Researchers and

doctors have been studying Alzheimer's patients for a century.Yet the cause and the cure for the mental sickness are still unknown.However，some researchers have made important steps towards understanding it．

Several early signs of the disease involve memory and thought processes.At first，patients have trouble remembering little ter，they have trouble remembering more important things，such as the names of their children.

There are also some physical tests that might show who is at risk of developing

Alzheimer's disease.The tests look for proteins in brain and spinal cord(脊髓) fluid.The proteins appear to be found only in people with the disease.The protein tests correctly identify the presence of the disease in about ninety percent of patients.

Now，a much simpler physical test to predict Alzheimer's risk has been developed.Researchers found that trouble with the sense of smell can …… 此处隐藏：5198字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
