Her life was full of hard choices, but she didn’t let them stop her from taking care of people who were in need. She always cared for others more than for herself.
Luke:Hi Jane! What are you reading
Jane: Oh, hey, Luke! I'm reading a very interesting magazine article about moral dilemmas.
Luke:Moral dilemma What do you mean
Jane:You know, it's when you have two choices, and you have to choose one,but for moral
reasons, sometimes it could be really difficult to decide.
Luke: Oh, situations like that don't happen very often, do they
Jane: Actually, I think people face moral dilemmas all the time,even us students.
Luke:Really Like what
Jane: Well, for example, it mentions a girl who was taking the entrance exam for a medical
university in Beijing. During the exam,the student next to her fainted. The girl had a
choice. Should she finish the exam or should she stop and help the student
Luke: Surely the teachers would look after the student who fainted!
Jane: Well, that's what I thought—but not this girl. She stopped to help the
student,thinking that it was better to put the needs of the other person first.
Listening text
Luke: So what happened to her exam
Jane: She never finished it. Instead, she carried the student to a safe place and looked
after her. Then she went to the hospital with the student and called her sister.
Luke: I can't believe she would give up her chance to get into medical university!
Who would do such a thing
Jane: Well, that girl was Lin Qiaozhi. She later DID get into medical university and
then she became a great doctor. She became famous for caring for tens of
thousands of women and their babies.
Luke: Oh, wow! So she became a doctor even though she left her exam that day!
Jane: Yes. Her life was full of hard choices, but she didn’t let them stop her from
taking care of people who were in need. She always cared for others more than
for herself.

kindness to another person. Later, when the lady stops at a cafe, she notices her
waitress is pregnant and tired. When the lady finishes eating, she pays for her meal

coffee of the customer behind her. When that customer discovered his coffee had
been paid for, he paid for the customer behind him. The chain of kindness continued
for hours.Nearly 400 people paid for the coffee of the person behind them!

Once, I did not have money to go to university, and so someone paid my tuition that term. This happened when I was eighteen. My grandmother had just died, and this had caused my family great expense, so we had no extra money at all. I did everything I could to raise the money, but it seemed hopeless. Then the morning that the tuition was due, someone gave my mother an envelope with the money. It wasn't their money, and they wouldn't say who it was from. It seems that some strangers had heard about my money problem and decided to help. This meant so much to me, as without it I would not have been able to go to university.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
