19、中非常忙碌，到國(guó)外學(xué)習(xí)和寫書和寫作。5.其中一個(gè)引起了我的注意。6.這是一本小冊(cè)子，解釋從生育和照顧嬰兒方面如何降低死亡率。7.她提出了一些簡(jiǎn)單的規(guī)則來(lái)保持嬰兒的干凈，健康，遠(yuǎn)離疾病。8.她為什么要寫那個(gè)？9.林巧稚認(rèn)為需要建議的女人是誰(shuí)？10.我仔細(xì)看了看課文，意識(shí)到這是為農(nóng)村婦女寫的。11.如果他們有緊急情況，他們可能找不到醫(yī)生。12.突然間，我覺(jué)得一個(gè)女人在那時(shí)接受醫(yī)學(xué)訓(xùn)練是多么困難。13.那一代女孩教育總是排在男孩的第二位.14.她比任何人都聰明嗎？15.進(jìn)一步的閱讀使我認(rèn)識(shí)到，這是艱苦的工作和決心，以及她的溫柔的性質(zhì)，使她進(jìn)入醫(yī)學(xué)院。16.后來(lái)她成功的原因是她對(duì)所有病人的關(guān)心和體貼。

20、17.有一則故事講述了林巧稚在一天的工作后疲倦了，深夜送了一個(gè)嬰兒給一個(gè)無(wú)法支付她的貧困家庭的嬰兒。18.現(xiàn)在我迫不及待地想了解更多關(guān)于她的情況。19.我發(fā)現(xiàn)林巧稚把她的一生都奉獻(xiàn)給了她的病人，選擇了沒(méi)有自己的家庭。20.相反，她確保大約50000名嬰兒安全分娩。21.這時(shí)候我很興奮。22.為什么不像林巧稚那樣在醫(yī)學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)并繼續(xù)她的好工作呢？23.對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)仍然不晚的是，提高我的學(xué)業(yè)，為大學(xué)入學(xué)考試做準(zhǔn)備Unit2WorkingthelandReadingAPIONEERFORALLPEOPLEAlthoughheisoneofChinasmostfamousscientists,YuanLon
