Great Women, Great Quality
We have to admit that greatness in womanhood is an ancient and modern quality.They venture, they dare, and they have courage to begin new things.They have faith① in their work because they know they work for the good of their quality and from inborn instincts (本能).The following are two typical examples of great women.
Marie Curie is best known for discovering the radioactive elements — polonium (钋) and radium and as the only woman to win two Nobel Prizes.She did not patent②her discoveries but made them available③ to everyone.She encouraged the use of X rays for medical treatment, but she was not sufficiently④ aware of the dangers of radium and died of leukemia (白血病) brought on by too much contact⑤ with radium.
Florence Nightingale was the daughter of a wealthy British landowner, William Nightingale.She wanted to become a nurse, but it was
not considered a proper profession for a young lady at that time.In 1851 Florence's father gave her permission⑥ to train as a nurse and in 1853 she went to Crimea to help the soldiers during the war.There she became known as “the lady with the lamp” for the concern she showed to the sick soldiers.Back in England, she started working to improve the training and status⑦ of nurses.She is considered a pioneer⑧ of nursing care.

Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading — Pre reading
A STUDENT① OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE
It is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Following Jane's way of studying chimps②, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave③ like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up④ is our first activity of the day. This means going⑤ back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before⑥. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of⑦ the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off⑧. Then we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. However, the evening makes it all worthwhile⑨. We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree⑩. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family.

[第1段译文]
清晨5点45分,太阳刚从东非的贡贝国家公园的上空升起。我们一行人都准备按照简研究黑猩猩的方法去森林里拜访它们。简研究这些黑猩猩家族已经很多年了,她帮助人们了解了黑猩猩跟人类的行为是多么相似。我们当天的首项活动就是观察黑猩猩一家是如何醒来的。这意味着我们要返回前一天晚上我们离开时黑猩猩一家睡觉的大树旁。大家坐在树荫下等待着,这时候猩猩们睡醒了,准备离开。然后这群黑猩猩向森林深处漫步而去,我们尾随其后。在大部分时间里,黑猩猩或互相喂食,或彼此擦身,这在它们的家族里是表达爱的方式。简预先提醒我们,到下午的时候我们就会又累又脏,她说对了。不过到傍晚时分我们觉得这一切都是值得的。我们看到黑猩猩妈妈跟她的幼子们在树上玩耍,后来看见它们一起回窝里睡觉了。我们认识到黑猩猩家庭成员之间的关系像人类家庭一样紧密。
Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observing and recording their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment. However, this was not easy. When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest . Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project . Her work changed the way people think about chimps . For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it . She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system.

[第2段译文]
在简之前没有人完全了解黑猩猩的行为。她花了多年的时间来观察并记录它们的日常活动。从孩提时代起,她就想在动物生活的环境中研究它们。但是,这不是一件容易的事。当她1960年最初来到贡贝时,对女性来说,住进大森林还是很不寻常的事情。她母亲前几个月过来帮她的忙,这才使她得以开始自己的计划。她的工作改变了人们对黑猩猩的看法。比方说,她的一个重要发现是黑猩猩捕猎并吃肉。而在此之前,人们一直认为黑猩猩只吃水果和坚果。她曾经亲眼看到过一群黑猩猩搏杀一只猴子,然后把它吃掉。她还发现了黑猩猩之间是如何交流的,而她对黑猩猩身势语的研究帮助她勾勒出黑猩猩的社会体系。
For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely. She is leading a busy life but she says:
“Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, ‘Aren't they lucky?’ And then I think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never forget ...”
She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environment, gaining a doctor's degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of women.

[第3~4段译文]
40年来,简·古道尔一直在呼吁世人了解并尊重这些动物的生活。她主张应该让野生动物留在野外生活,而不能用于娱乐和广告。她帮助建起了黑猩猩可以安全生活的专门的保护区。她的生活是忙忙碌碌的,然而,她说:,“一旦我停下来,所有的一切都会涌上心头,我就会想起实验室里的黑猩猩,太可怕了。每当我看着野生黑猩猩时,这个念头总是萦绕着我。我对自己说:‘难道它们不幸运吗?’然后我就想起那些没有任何过错却被关在笼子里的小黑猩猩。一旦你看到这些,你就永远不会忘记……”,她已经完成了她想要做的一切:在动物生活的环境中研究它们,获得博士学位,证明女人能像男人一样在森林里生活。她激励着那些想为女性的成就而欢呼喝彩的人们。

Peggy Whitson's job demands a daily two hour workout in a gym where weight has no meaning and the view changes at 17,000 miles an hour.
Whitson makes it look easy. At 57, she is the oldest woman to fly in space, breaking the record in November, 2016, when she began her third long term stay at the International Space Station. After returning home in September, 2017, the NASA astronaut felt matter of fact about the age milestone (里程碑).
“It wasn't a record I was seeking out,” Whitson said. “I was 42 and 48 for my first two space flights. I feel lucky that I was able to get to do another one in my 50s. I don't think people should let age discourage them, even on those jobs that require some amount of physical fitness. The oldest man is John Glenn (at 77), and we've had male astronauts in their 60s before, so it's not that unusual to be in your late 50s and be able to fly in space. It was just a matter of time before women started flying in space at this age.”
On Earth, she stays fit by weightlifting, biking, playing basketball and water skiing. She shared what it is like to live in microgravity, “It is like you're in a swimming pool, but you don't have to worry about breathing. If I push off from one side, I'm going to float to the other side. Every direction feels exactly the same, which is really hard for your brain to grasp, but it is amazing how fast you adapt.
“It's a big shock for the body to come back to Earth — everything is so heavy. We spend a lot of time getting used to being back in gravity again. Back pain is really the most dramatic for me this time. For me, coming home is harder than going up into space.”
语篇解读:本文介绍了世界上年龄最大的女宇航员Peggy Whitson,她在57岁时第三次登上国际空间站。
1.What does the underlined word “matter of fact” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Amazing. B.Natural.
C.Enthusiastic. D.Unbelievable.
解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据语境可知,Whitson在57岁时成为年龄最大的女宇航员,她说自己不是在追求这个纪录,人们不应该让年龄阻碍自己。结合这些信息看,她对于这个年龄的里程碑没有很特别的感觉,因此该词的含义应该与B项最接近。matter of fact“不带感情的”。
2.How many months did Peggy Whitson spend in space for her third stay in the International Space Station
A.About 10 months. B.About 8 months.
C.About 9 months. D.About 7 months.
解析:选A 推理判断题。本文没有具体说Whitson在国际空间站停留了多长时间,但她在2016年11月开始了她的第三次太空停留,且她在2017年9月回到地球,因此她在国际空间站停留的时间大约为十个月。
3.What can we learn about Peggy Whitson from the passage
A.She is the oldest person to fly in space, breaking the record.
B.She is not the only female astronaut over 60.
C.She likes swimming most to stay fit on Earth.
D.She had been in space in 2002 and 2008.
解析:选D 推理判断题。第二、三段说Whitson在57岁成为年龄最大的女宇航员,故B项表述错误;年龄最大的宇航员是77岁的John Glenn,故A项表述错误;第四段她只是说在微重力状态下就像在游泳池里一样,没有说她最喜欢游泳,故C项表述错误;本文说她在2017年57岁时成为年龄最大的女宇航员,之前在42岁和48岁时到过太空,因此那两个时间可能是2002年和2008年,因此选D。
B
Reese Witherspoon was born on March 22, 1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana.She is the second child of the family.Reese spent the first four years of her life in Wiesbaden, Germany, where her father John Witherspoon served in the US Army Reserves.Shortly after, John moved the family back to the United States, settling in Nashville, Tennessee.
Reese was introduced to the entertainment industry at a very early age.At age 7, she began modeling.This led to appearances on several local television commercials.At age 11, she was placed first in a Ten State Talent Fair.
In 1990, she landed her first major acting role in The Man in the Moon (1991).Her role as a 14 year old tomboy earned her good reviews.Roles in bigger films such as Jack the Bear (1993) and A Far Off Place (1993) followed shortly after.
Following high school graduation in 1994, Reese decided to have a pause in her acting career and attend Stanford University where she would major in English literature.However, her plans were shortly stopped when she accepted roles to star in two major motion pictures.Although neither film was a huge box office success, they did help to make Reese a rising star in Hollywood and open the door for bigger and better film roles.
Her breakthrough role came as Elle Woods in the 2001 comedy Legally Blonde.In box office terms, the movie was a great success and made Reese one of the top female stars in Hollywood.In the year 2014, she produced both Gone Girl and Wild, for which she got nominated (提名) for a best actress Oscar again for her role.
Reese is actively involved in children's and women's advocacy organizations.She is a longtime supporter of Save the Children, an organization that helps provide children around the world with education, health care and emergency aid.
语篇解读:本文是一篇人物传记。文章讲述了美国影视演员瑞茜·威瑟斯彭(Reese Witherspoon)的一些事迹。
4.Why did Reese stop her studies at Stanford University
A.Because she starred in two successful films.
B.Because she was more famous in Hollywood.
C.Because she didn't want to get higher education.
D.Because she couldn't balance studies and acting.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Following high school graduation ...However, her plans were shortly stopped when she accepted roles to star in two major motion pictures”可知,Reese因为要主演两部电影,所以放弃了继续求学,由此可推知,由于无法兼顾学业和演艺事业,她放弃了学业,故答案为D。
5.Which film made Reese most famous
A.The Man in the Moon. B.Legally Blonde.
C.A Far Off Place. D.Jack the Bear.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Her breakthrough role came as Elle Woods in the 2001 comedy Legally Blonde.In box office terms, the movie was a great success and made Reese one of the top female stars in Hollywood”可知,Reese突破性的角色就是《律政俏佳人》中的Elle Woods,在票房方面,这部喜剧片取得了巨大的成功,并使Reese成为好莱坞最顶尖的女明星之一,故答案为B。
6.What is the author's attitude toward Reese
A.Caring. B.Admiring.
C.Critical. D.Defensive.
解析:选B 观点态度题。根据文章内容可知,作者在介绍Reese演艺事业的发展时,采用的都是正面的描述,再根据最后一段中对Reese积极参与一些旨在帮助儿童和妇女的公益组织的描述可推知,作者对Reese持赞赏的态度,故答案为B。
C

As a small boy in Norwich, England, Andy Ridley dreamt of an underwater world so full of life, it couldn't possibly exist. But decades later, a grown up Andy found it in real life — and his underwater fantasy world turned out to be even bigger than the UK.
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is about 344,400 sq km and is so large it can be seen from space. As CEO of the new Citizens of the GBR initiative (计划), he wants ordinary people around the world to play a part in protecting this famous habitat, which is suffering from another widespread bleaching (白化) event.
It's not the first time Andy has taken on such a huge task. He co founded Earth Hour (EH), which involves people and businesses turning off their lights for the same hour each year.
“The Great Barrier Reef is a mirror on humanity — the health of the reef reflects how we're treating the planet,” Andy says. “I was working in the Netherlands and I started to see the stories about what was going on in the reef. I wanted to see what was really going on.”
So, in 2002, Andy, his zoologist wife, Dr Tammie Matson, and their two young children, left the bright lights of Europe for a life under the stars in Cairns.
Andy says one of his most magical experiences was on an early trip to Osprey Island. “I'd never seen anything like it,” he says.“It was full of life.” After this memorable dive Andy imagined how he could use the reef to create change, and Citizens of the GBR was born.
Whether you're a child growing up in a New York apartment or a grandfather living in Beijing, anyone can register (注册) as a “citizen” and have a say in how the GBR is protected. Registration will allow you to vote online on which projects the initiative finances and be kept informed of the results.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。从“地球一小时”到“大堡礁公民”,为了保护环境,Andy Ridley又开启了新的征程。
1.What is the aim of the GBR initiative
A.To stop the reef from turning white.
B.To find an underwater world full of life.
C.To build a fantasy world based on reality.
D.To attract visitors to the Great Barrier Reef.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As CEO of the new Citizens of the GBR initiative, he wants ordinary people around the world to play a part in protecting this famous habitat, which is suffering from another widespread bleaching event”可知,“大堡礁公民”计划的目的是防止大堡礁继续白化。
2.Why did Andy go to Cairns
A.To do some business.
B.To have a family holiday.
C.To look for an interesting job.
D.To look into the bleaching event.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I started to see the stories about what was going on in the reef. I wanted to see what was really going on”可知,Andy到凯恩斯是为了就珊瑚礁白化问题一探究竟。
3.What inspired Andy to set up Citizens of the GBR
A.A sports accident. B.A diving experience.
C.A heated discussion. D.A magic performance.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“After this memorable dive Andy imagined how he could use the reef to create change, and Citizens of the GBR was born”可知,一次潜水经历促使Andy决定开启“大堡礁公民”计划。
4.What will the “citizens” do according to the text
A.Raise money online.
B.Have a say in who can register.
C.Give opinions on the reef's protection.
D.Organize research projects on the environment.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“anyone can register as a ‘citizen’ and have a say in how the GBR is protected”可以推知,参与这一项目的“市民”可以就如何保护大堡礁发表意见。
B
Dr Dian Fossey, one of the world's leading women scientists, had a remarkable career.The work — she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Africa — has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady (平稳的) increase of this most endangered great apes.
Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963.Three years later, she returned to Africa to begin a long term study of the mountain gorillas.She set up camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967.She established her “Karisoke” Research Centre camp on September 24, 1967.
Fossey's aims were to study gorilla ecology (生态学) and social organization.She found that in order to achieve this, she needed to recognize individual gorillas, which required that the gorillas get used to her presence (出现).By copying gorillas, behaviour and sounds, Fossey began to gain their trust, and in 1970 an adult male gorilla she had named “Peanuts” reached out to touch her hand.
Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas' trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour.Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.
In 1977, one of Fossey's favorite gorillas, Digit, was killed by poachers and she established the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.
On December 26, 1985, Fossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke.Her body was discovered near the research centre.Most probably, Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she'd fought against.On her tombstone (墓碑):“No one loved gorillas more ...”
In 1988, the life and the work of Fossey were made into a movie based on her book.
语篇解读:本文为我们介绍了Dian Fossey博士及她献身的事业。
5.Why does the author say “Dr Dian Fossey had a remarkable career”?
A.Because she travelled all over the world.
B.Because she liked to play with gorillas.
C.Because she studied gorilla ecology.
D.Because she made great apes increase steadily.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知,她的工作使濒危动物——巨猿的数量得以平稳增长,这是她的非凡成就。
6.Which of the following shows the right time order of the events in Fossey's life
a.She established the Digit Fund.
b.Her story was shown in a movie.
c.She was killed probably by the poachers.
d.She established her “Karisoke” centre.
A.a,d,c,b B.a,c,d,b
C.d,c,b,a D.d,a,c,b
解析:选D 顺序排序题。Fossey建立the Digit Fund是在1977年;她的故事被拍成电影是在1988年;她被杀害是在1985年;她建立Karisoke研究中心是在1967年。由此可知D项的排序是正确的。
7.The underlined word “poachers” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to people who ________.
A.sell drugs against the law
B.hunt animals against the law
C.hate successful people
D.like to do harm to people
解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据最后三段中Fossey建立保护大猩猩的基金及她与poachers进行斗争可知,她应该是被偷猎者暗杀的。poacher指“偷猎者”。
8.From the words on Fossey's tombstone, we can infer that ________.
A.Fossey was the person who loved gorillas most
B.after Fossey died, no one loves gorillas
C.Fossey was the first one to study gorillas
D.everybody loves gorillas as Fossey did
解析:选A 推理判断题。写在Fossey 墓碑上的这句话的意思是“没有人比Fossey更爱大猩猩了”,也就是说Fossey是最热爱大猩猩的人,故选A项。
Ⅴ.阅读七选五
Photographer David J. Slater was following a group of monkeys through the forest when he had a bright idea. What would happen if he left them alone with his camera
__1__ The clever monkeys hit buttons (按钮) with their long, black fingers. They smiled and showed their teeth as they looked at the camera.
The monkeys played with the camera until — snap, snap, snap! Naruto, a 6 year old with bright orange eyes, took some selfies (自拍).
Years later, a newspaper paid Slater to post the photos online. Then another website posted them — and another. Within hours, Naruto's selfies were seen everywhere. __2__
People became interested in Naruto's species, the crested black macaque (黑冠猴). These monkeys are often killed for their meat. __3__ Humans have been cutting down the trees the monkeys live in to make way for farms and roads.
Soon a group of people fighting for animal rights had an idea: Naruto took the photos. Doesn't that mean Naruto owns them — and the right to sell them
The group decided to take Slater to court (法庭). __4__ They wanted that money to be used to protect Naruto's species.
In September, the group made a deal with Slater. He will give away 25 percent of the money from Naruto's selfies. That money will be used to protect crested macaques.
Naruto didn't know what would happen when he snapped his silly selfies. __5__ The attention might just save their lives.
A.The selfies made money.
B.Slater refused their suggestion.
C.The monkey took the photograph of itself.
D.But he's lucky that he made his species famous.
E.But even those that avoid being killed are in danger.
F.You could even buy the pictures on T shirts and postcards.
G.Slater placed the camera on a stand, and then stepped back to watch.
语篇解读:本文是说明文。摄影师David J. Slater因在网上发布猴子的自拍照,身陷照片版权纠纷。
1.选G 由下文介绍聪明猴子的做法“hit buttons ... smiled and showed their teeth ... played with the camera”可知,G项中的placed the camera on a stand, and then stepped back to watch与上文介绍该摄影师的大胆想法What would happen if he left them alone with his camera相吻合。
2.选F F项中的even buy the pictures on T shirts and postcards与该空前的“Naruto's selfies were seen everywhere”之间是递进关系,进一步说明猴子的自拍照被广泛传播。
3.选E E项中的those that avoid being killed are in danger与该空前的“monkeys are often killed”相呼应,说明黑冠猴的处境十分危险。该空后的“cutting down the trees the monkeys live in to make way for farms and roads”则是对E项的解释。
4.选A A项中的money与该空后的“that money”相呼应,此处指Slater被告上法庭的原因。
5.选D D项中的he made his species famous与该空后的“The attention”相呼应。
Ⅵ.课时微写作(根据提示完成小作文)

Section Ⅳ Learning about Language & Using Language
WHY NOT① CARRY ON HER GOOD WORK
I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I choose to study at university I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at the computer to do some research on② great women of China.
By chance③ I came across④ an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi⑤, a specialist in women's diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career⑥, travelling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles⑦. One of them caught my eye. It was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate⑧ from having and caring for babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and free from sickness⑨. Why did she write that Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice I looked carefully at the text and realized that it was intended⑩ for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.
①Why not ...?“为什么不……”,用以提出建议。
②do some research on/into ...对……进行一些研究
③by chance (=by accident) 碰巧;凑巧
(反)on purpose故意地

emergency/I'm d nsI/n.突发事件;紧急情况
in case of emergency万一发生紧急情况
为什么不继续她的有益的事业?
[第1~2段译文]
上学(高中)时我喜欢英语、生物和化学,但是在大学我该选哪门专业呢?直到有一天晚上坐在电脑旁研究中国的伟大女性时,我才有了答案。
很偶然地,我看到了一篇关于林巧稚大夫的文章,她是一位妇科专家。她1901年出生,1983年去世。林巧稚似乎一直都在为自己选择的事业而忙碌着,去国外留学,也写书和文章。其中一本书引起了我的注意。这是一本小书,介绍了从妇女怀孕到护理婴儿的过程中如何降低死亡率。她给出了一些简单规则供人们遵循,以保持婴儿清洁、健康,免除疾病。她为什么要写那个呢?林巧稚认为哪些妇女会需要这些建议呢?我仔细地看了这篇文章,了解到那是专为农村妇女写的。也许她们在遇到紧急情况时找不到医生。
Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time . That was a generation when girls' education was always placed second to boys' . Was she so much cleverer than anyone else Further reading made me realize that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school. What made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients. There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day's work, went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.
By now I could not wait to find out more about her. I discovered that Lin Qiaozhi had devoted her whole life to her patients and had chosen not to have a family of her own. Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered. By this time I was very excited. Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work It was still not too late for me to improve my studies, prepare for the university entrance examinations, and ...
“It hit sb.+名词性从句”结构意为“某人突然想起……”;此处it是形式主语,how difficult it was ...是主语从句。
generation/ d en 'reI n/n.一代;一辈
from generation to generation一代代地
place ... second to把……置于……之后(次要位置)
be second to none不亚于任何人或事物,首屈一指
when girls' education ...是when引导的定语从句,修饰先行词a generation。
it was hard work ... that got her into ...是强调句型,此处强调句子主语hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature。把it was和that去掉,句子仍然讲得通。
determination/dI t mI'neI n/n.决心;果断
What made her succeed later on是what引导的主语从句,what在从句中作主语。
kindness/'kaIndn s/n.仁慈;好意
out of kindness出于好意
consideration/k n sId 'reI n/n.考虑;体谅
considerate/k n'sId r t/adj.考虑周到的
deliver/dI'lIv /vt.递送;生(小孩儿);接生;发表(演说等)
could not wait to do sth.迫不及待做某事
that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered是that引导的宾语从句,作made sure的宾语。
carry on继续;坚持
too ... to太……而不能
[第3~4段译文]
突然我想起,在那个年代,一个女子去学医是多么困难。那可是一个女性受教育总是排在男性之后的年代。是她比别人聪明得多吗?进一步阅读使我了解到,是苦干、决心和善良的天性使她走进了医学院的大门。后来使她成功的是她对所有病人表现出的爱心和体贴。数不胜数的故事讲述着林巧稚如何在劳累一天之后,又在深夜去为贫苦家庭的产妇接生,而这些家庭不能付给她报酬。,现在我迫不及待地想多了解一些有关她的情况。我发现林巧稚把毕生都奉献给了病人,而自己却选择了独身。相反她确保了大约50 000名婴儿的安全出生。这时候,我非常激动。为什么不像林巧稚那样去医学院学习,继续她的有益的事业呢?对我来说,现在努力提高学习成绩、准备大学入学考试还不算晚,而且……
