青蒿素治疗疟疾效果显著,是抵抗疟疾耐药性最好的药物。中国发现青蒿素时,美国也研制出一种抗疟新药—化学合成的甲氟喹,但疟原虫很快就适应了它,产生耐药性,临床使用后患者还出现了明显的不良反应。而对于青蒿素这种从中草药中提取的药物,疟原虫对它完全没有抵抗能力。1976 年1月,柬埔寨爆发疟疾,因疟原虫已经产生耐药性,疫情一时难以控制。中国医疗队携带一批青蒿素在柬埔寨大显神威,挽救了一大批疟疾患者的生命。
①2014年年中,世界卫生组织(WHO)公布了《2013年全球气候状况报告》。报告显示,2013年全球陆地和海洋表面平均温度为14.5℃,比1961-1990年的平均温度升高0.5℃。自有温度记录以来,全球14个最热年份中有13个出现在本世纪,而过去30年中每个10年都比前十年更热。②厄尔尼诺是发生在热带太平洋上海温异常增暖的气候现象,大范围热带太平洋增暖会造成全球气候变化。进入20世纪70年代后,全球出现的异常天气,都有范围广、灾情重、时间长等特点,而在这一系列异常天气的背后,厄尔尼诺暖流都起着重要作用。

⑦在仰韶文化时期,我国就有了对竹利用的确切记载。竹自竹简、珠笔到竹纸,在保存和传播我们中华民族的古老文化上立下了汗马功劳。以竹为题材的诗词歌赋,用竹编织和雕刻的艺术品,竹制的笙管笛箫奏出的音乐,无不给人类美的享受。⑧在我国文化史上,竹蕴含着中华民族重要的精神价值。人们在长期的劳动实践和文化活动中,把竹的生物特征逐渐升华为一种做人的美德。竹四季常青,不畏逆境,和松、梅并誉为“岁寒三友”;竹中空外直,虚怀若谷,和梅、兰、菊并称为“四君子”。⑨无论是魏晋嵇康、向秀等“竹林七贤”,还是唐朝李白、韩准等“竹溪六逸”,莫不对竹有一份执着和憧憬,清代郑板桥,与竹为邻,以竹为友,爱竹、写竹、画竹、赞竹。“千磨万击还坚韧,任尔东西南北风”,正是他坚忍不拔、超凡脱俗的人格写照。

诗中有画,是中国古典诗歌的艺术特点之一。如果说白居易《钱塘湖春行》中的“ (1) ,谁家新燕啄春泥。”是一幅具有柔性美的图画,那么王维《使至塞上》中“大漠孤烟直, (2) 。”则是一幅具有刚性美的图画。
