Can any man be both? I like to keep women g uessing.”Since Grant’s break-up last year with his longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley，the thought of throwing himself into another big relationship doesn’t seem like it’s expected.“How easy do you think it is to find someone you can share 14 years of personal jokes with? Not easy. And I don’t know that I will，” he says.Still，the 40-year-old star admits he can’t help thinking that his clock is ticking.“In the end，I want to have kids（children）.But in the back of my mind，I never wanted to have kids unt il I’d done something I’m proud of written a book，had my name on something really worthwhile,” he says. “I’m determined not to be in front of the cameras any more.”With all of these concerns（心思)inside，has Grant ever considered seeing a psychiatrist（精神病医生)to sort things out?“I don’t think I need treatment，thank you,” sniffs the star.“I’m frightened of those people. And more than that，I don’t want to know what lies beneath （在下面）.”46.Judging from what Hugh Grant says，the film star may consider himself .A. either a bastard or a nice guyB. both a bastard and a nice guy at the same timeC. a bastard in one week and a nice guy in the otherD. neither a bastard nor a nice guy47. Hugh Grant .A. is looking for another girlfriend at the present timeB. never feels sure of finding a girlfriend who can take the place of Elizabeth HurleyC. considers it a shame to look for another girlfriendD. doesn’t value much the relationship he had with Elizabeth Hurley48.The underlined clause “his clock is ticking” possibly means .A. he’s having a good timeB. he can’t stand being singleC. his film life is going to end soonD. he is getting too old49.Hugh Grant thinks that he is not yet successful enough to be .A. a nice guyB. a husbandC. a film starD. a fatherBIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad；that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied (依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them，playing well and winning are often life and death affairs. In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success，the development，of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However，while sonic seem to be lost in die desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only die winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by them selves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken be lief that one’s self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.50. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.51. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward.B. It builds up a sense of duty.C. It improves personal abilities.D. It encourages individual efforts.52. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragrap h 3 means .A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success53. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.B. One’s success in competition needs great efforts.C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.D. One’s success is based on how hard he h as tried.54. Which point of view may the author agree to?A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.CMy aunt Edith was a widow of 50，working as a secretary，when doctors discovered she had got what was then thought to be a very serious heart illness.Aunt Edith didn’t accept defeat easily. She began studying medical reports in library and found an article in a magazine about a well-known heart doctor，Dr.Michael Debakey，of Houston，Texas. He had saved the life of someone with the same illness. The article said Dr Debakey’s fees were very high；Aunt Edith couldn’t possibly pay them. But could he tell her of someone whose fee she could pay?So Aunt Edith wrote to him. She simply listed her reasons for wanting to live：her three children，who would be on their own in three or four years and among them a little girl who always dreamed of traveling and seeing the world. There wasn’t a word of self-pity-only warmth and humor and the joy of living. She mailed the letter，not really expecting an answer.A few days later，my doorbell rang. Aunt Edith didn’t wait to come in；she stood in the hall and read aloud:Your beautiful letter moved me very deeply. If you can come to Houston，there will be no charge for either the hospital or the operation.Signed：Michael Debakey That was seven years ago. Since then，Aunt Edith has been around the world. Her three children are happily married.

Unit 1Women of achievementReadingA STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFEIt is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa.Following Jane ’ s way of studying chimps, 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 behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family beings to wake up and move off. 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 worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babiesplay in the tree. Them 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 long as in a human family.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 intheir 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 forthe 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 huntand 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 workout their social system.Four 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 beleft 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.Itaffects me when I watch the wild chimps.I say to myself,‘ Aren ’ t theyAndluck?then I’think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you haveseen 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 womeniveinthecanforestl as men can. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievement of women.Using languageWHY NOT CARRY ON HER GOOD WORD?I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I chooseto study at university? I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at thecomputer to do some research on great women of China.By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist inwomen’ s diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy inher chosen career, traveling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One of themcaught my eye. I was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caringfor babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and freefrom sickness. Why did she write that? Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought neededthis advice？ I looked carefully at the text and realized that it was intended for women in thecountryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time.That was a generation when girl’ s education was always placed secondWastoboysshe so’ . much cleverer than anyone else?Further reading made me realize that it was hard work anddetermination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school.What made hersucceed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients. Therewas story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day’ s work, went late at night to deli 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 haddevoted her whold 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 wasvery 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 entranceexaminations, and⋯Unit 2Working the landA PILNEER FOR ALL PEOPLEAlthough he is one of China’ s most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considersimelfa hfarmer, for he works the land to do his research. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and hisslim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he has struggledfor the past five decades. Dr Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid rice. In 1974,he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rich that has a high output. Thisspecial strain of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the samefields. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.Born in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Sincethen, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. As a young man, he saw thegreat need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem inmany parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests withoutexpanding the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty milliontons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice wasproduced. These increased harvests mean that 22% fo the world ’ s people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to his research, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world of hunger. Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before.Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life.However, he doesn’ t care about being famous.He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research. He would much rather keep time forhis hobbies. He enjoys listening to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming and reading.Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also means very little to him.Indeed, he believes that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer troubles.He therefore gives millions of yuan to equip others for their research in agriculture.Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing. Long ago Dr Yuan had a dream aboutrice plants as tall as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing akind of rice that could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has another dream:to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe. One dream is not always enough,especially for a person who loves and cares for his people.Using LanguageCHEMICAL OR ORGANIC FARMING?Over the past half century, using chemical fertilizers has become very common in farming.Many farmers welcomed them as a great way to stop crop disease and increase production.Recently, however, scientists have been finding that long-term use of these fertilizers cancause damage to the land and, even more dangerous, to people’ s health.What are some of the problems caused by chemical fertilizers? First, they damage theland by killing the helpful bacteria and pests as well as the harmful ones. Chemicals alsostay in the ground and underground water for a ling time. This affects crops and, therefore,animals and humans, since chemicals get inside the crops and cannot just be washed off.These chemicals in the food supply build up in people ime’. s Manybodiesofoverthesechemicals can lead to cancer or other illnesses.In addition, fruit, vegetables and other foodgrown with chemical fertilizers usually grow too fast to be full of much nutrition. They may lookbeautiful, but inside there is usually more water than vitamins and minerals.With these discoveries, some farmers and many customers are beginning to turn to organicfarming. Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals. They focus onkeeping their soil rich and free of disease. A healthy soil reduces disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy. Organic farmers, therefore, often prefer using natural waste from animals as fertilizer. They feel that this makes the soil in their fields richer in minerals andso more fertile. This also keeps the air, water and crops free from chemicals.Organic farmers also use many other methods to keep the soil fertile. They often change the kind of crop in each field every few years, for example, growing corn or wheat and then thenext year peas or soybeans. Crops such as peas or soybeans put important minerals back into the soil, making it ready for crops such as wheat or corn that need rich and fertile soil. Organic farmers also plant crops to use different levels of soil, for example, planting peanutsthat use the ground’ s surface followed by vegetables that put down deepSrootsme.organic farmers prefer planting grass between crops to prevent wind or water from carrying away the soil, and then leaving it in the ground to become a natural fertilizer for the nextyear ’ s crop.These many different organic farming methods have the same goal: to growngood food and avoid damaging the environment or people’ s health.Unit 3 A state of English humourReadingA MSTER OF NONVERBAL HUMOURAs Victor Hugo once said,“ Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin. He brightenedthe lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between.He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel morecontent with their lives.Not that Charlie’ s own life was easy!Hewas born in a poor family in 1889.his parents were both poor music hall performers. You may find it astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially when the family income was often uncertain. Unfortunately, his father died, leaving the family even worse off, so Charlie spenthis childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had,through his humour, become one of the most popular child actors in English.He couldmime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks. No one was ever bored watchinghim— his subtle acting made everything entertaining.As time went by, he began making films. He grew more and more popular as hischarming character, the little tramp, became known throughout the world.The tramp, a poor, homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a small roundblack hat. He walked around stiffly carrying a walking stick. This character was a social failurebut was loved for his optimism and determination to overcome all difficulties.He was the underdog who was kind even when others were unkind to him.How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining? Here is an example from one of his most famous films, The Gold Rush. It is the mid-nineteenth century and gold has justbeen discovered in California. Like so many others, the little tramp and his friend have rushed there in search of gold, but without success. Instead they are hiding in a small hut on theedge of a mountain during a snowstorm with nothing to eat. They are so hungry that they try boiling a pair of leather shoes for their dinner. Charlie first picks out the laces and eats themas if they were spaghetti. Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak. Finally he tries cutting and chewing the bottom of the shoe. I he eats each mouthfulwith great enjoyment. The acting is so convincing that it makes you believe that it is one ofthe best meals he has ever tasted!Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed and produced the films he starred in. In 1972 he wasgiven a special Oscar for his outstanding work in films. He lived in English and the USAbut spent his last years in Switzerland, where he was buried in 1977. He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with great confidence.Using languageENGLISH JOKES1. There are thousands of jokes which use“ play on words One”persontoamuseasksus.a question which expects a particular reply. Instead, what he gets is another kind of answer which makes the situation funny. Now read some of these customer and waiter jokes. Can you match the joke with the explanation?1.C: What ’ s that fly doing in my soup?W:Swimming, I think!2. C: What’ s that?W: It ’ s bean soup.C: I don’ t want to know what it’ sI wantbeen.to know what it is now.3.C: Waiter, will the pancakes be long?W:No, sir. Round.ExplanationA The first person is asking for information about time. The second person treats it as a question about shape.B The first person is angry about something and wants to say,“ Why is this here?” Th second person treats it as a request for information and gives an answer to the question.C The answer to the question contains a word which, when spoken, can havetwo meanings.2.Some jokes are longer and tell a short, funny story. The following is one of those jokesabout the famous detective Sherlock Homes and his friend Doctor Watson. Read it anddecide which of these two kinds of jokes you like better.Give your reasons.Sherlock Homes and Doctor Watson went camping in an mountainous area. They warelying in the open air under the stars. Sherlock Homes looked up at the stars and whispered,“ Watson, when you look at that beautiful sky, what do you think of?” Watson replied,of how short life is and how long the universe has lasted.” “ No, no, Watson!” Hom “ what do you really think of? Watson”tried again.“ I think of how small I am and howvast the sky is.“ Try” again, Watson!Said”Holmes. Watson tried a third time.“ Ithink of how cold the universe is and how warm people can be in their beds.Holmes said,”“ Watson, you fool! You should be thinking that someone has stolen our tent!”Unit 4Body LanguageReadingCOMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM?Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university ’ s student association, wen the Capital International Airport to meet this year ’ s internationalTheywerestudents. coming to study at Beijing University. We would taken them first to their dormitories and then to the student canteen. After half an hour of waiting for their flight to arrive, I saw several young people enter the waiting area looking around curiously. I stood fro a minute watching them and then went to greet them.The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed by JuliaSmith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was verysurprised. Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! Shestepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence. I guessed that therewas probably a major misunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling,together with George Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, George reached his handout to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akria bowed so his nose touchedGeorge ’ s moving handThey. both apologized another— cultural mistake!Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan. When we met yesterday, hemoved very close to me as I introduced myself. I moved back a bit, but he came closer to aska question and then shook my hand. When Darlene Coulon from France came dashingthrough the door, she recognized Tony Garcia ’s Theysmilingshookface.hand and thenkissed each other twice on each cheek, since that is the French custom when adults meetpeople they know. Ahmed Aziz, on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls. Men fromMiddle Eastern and other Muslim countries will often stand quite close to other men to talkbut will usually not touch women.As I get to know more international friends, I learn more about this cultural“ bod language ”Not. all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfortable in thesame way with touching or distance between people. In the same way that peoplecommunicate with spoken language, they also express their feelings using unspoken“ language” through physical distance, actions or postureEnglish. people, for example, do notusually stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, peoplefrom places like Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others closely and are morelikely to touch them. Most people around the world now greet each other by shaking hands, butsome cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, who prefer to bow.These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in which cultures have developed.I have seen, however, that cultural customs for body language are very general— not allmembers of a culture behave in the same way. In general, though, studying internationalcustoms can certainly help avoid difficulties in today’ s world of cultural crossroads!Using LanguageSHOWING OUR FEELINGSBody language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even morepowerful than spoken spoken language.People around the world show all kinds of feelings,wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication.“ readOf course,”others aroundbody language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are universal.The most university facial expression is, of course, the smile — its function is to show happiness and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are truly happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone“ loses face” and smilesHowevtoer,hideth it. general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings.From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning.In most places around the world, frowning and turning one’ s back to someone Makingshows angerfist. and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry and threatening anther person.There are many ways around the world to show agreement, but nodding the head up and down is used for agreement almost worldwide. Most people also understand that shaking the head from side to side means disagreement or refusal.How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will, in mostcases, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested. If I roll my eyesand turn my head away, I most likely do not believe what I am hearing or do not like it.Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it isprobably not a good idea to give a hug to a boss or teacher. In almost every culture, it is notusually good to stand too close to someone of a higher rank. Standing at a little distance withopen hands will show that I am willing to listen.With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities inbody language. We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do!Unit 5Theme parksReadingTHEME PARKES—FUN AND MORE THAN FUNWhich theme park would you like to visit?There are various kinds of theme parks, with adifferent park for almost everything: food, culture, science, cartoons, movies or history.Some parks are famous for having the biggest or longest roller coasters, others for showingthe famous sights and sounds of a culture.

英语：Unit1 Women of achievement教案(新人教版必修4)
Unit1 Women of achievement单元教案This unit stays focused on the topic: women. Six women with various national backgrounds are featured, and different aspects of their life are explored, like, their social position, contributions and hardships ;meanwhile, their achievements in a wide variety of fields are highly praised. Ss will know better the roles women play in social life, with their(esp. girl students’)self-esteem and sense of social responsibility boosted.Warming-up requires Ss to comment on the 6 women and give their opinions and reasons as well. This part connects Unit5,Module1.The rules concluded in the earlier unit can be applied here to identify great women. Ss should be encouraged to discuss what these women did for other people, and what problems they had to overcome or what they had to give up to achieve their ambition.Pre-reading is also a discussion but focused on Jane Goodall. The two questions raised here prompt Ss to think over the pros and cons of two approaches to scientific study(lab research & field research). Then, Ss are asked to predict the content based on the title and pictures.Reading-A Student of African Wildlife depicts a scenewhere Jane and her colleagues studied chimps in an African forest and explains the significance of their work and the achievements she reached. Despite the fact that it was a dirty and tiring job to do the field research in the wild, they all regarded it as worthwhile. Some of their valuable discoveries would not have been made in the lab;for the very reason Jane Goodall had chosen the primitive African forest to study in.Her years of observing and recording chimps’ daily activities attributed to a better understanding of their behaviour. She has argued that wild animals be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has endeavored to enhance people’s awareness of understanding, respecting and protecting wild animals. She is an inspiring role model !Comprehending consists of 4 Exx, guiding Ss to comprehend the reading passage at different levels. Exx1-3 are intended to aid Ss to obtain important details ,grasp paragraph main ideas and transfer text information in the form of multiple choice, summing-up and filling in a chart.

Discovering useful words and expressions is meant to help Ss to further study word formation, key words & phrases; Discovering useful structures centers on “subject-verb agreement”, determining the number of collective noun being the priority for the moment. Form-Meaning-Use approach is encouraged in grammar study.Using language is to train Ss’ in tegrating skills in listening, speaking , reading and writing. Reading features Lin Qiaozhi,a famed specialist in women disease, who achieved great success in her career with remarkable perseverance and efforts. She cared about women and mothers, esp. those living in poverty, and earned respect with her kindness and warn heart. Plus, she dedicated all her life to her patients and Chinese medical care.

新人教版 Book 4 Unit 1 Woman of Achievement 课文
Book 4 Unit 1 Women of achievementPart I a Student of African WildlifeIt is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Follow ing Jane’s way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years helped understand how much they behave like human s. Watch ing a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This mean s going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off. 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 warn s 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 worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between member s of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family.Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observing and record ing 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 arrive d 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 allow ed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discover ed was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observe d 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.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 argue d that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisement s. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safe ly. She is lead ing a busy life but she says: “Once I stop, it all comes crowd ing in and I remember the chimps in lab oratories. It’s terrible. It affect s me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, ‘Aren’t they lucky?’And then I think about small chimps in cage s though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never forget ...”She has achieve d everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environment, gain ing a doctor’s degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She inspire s those who want to cheer the achievement s of women.Part II Why not 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 on great women of China.By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist in women’s disease s. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career, travel ling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One of them caught my eye. It was a small book explain ing how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies. She gave some simple rule s to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and free from sick ness. Why did she write that? Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice? I looked carefully at the text and realize d that it was intend ed for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical train ing at that time. That was a generation when girls’education was always place d second to boys’. Was she so much clever er 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 kind ness and consideration she showed to all her patient s. 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 devote d her whole life to her patient s 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 examination s, and….。
