UNIT 5 课时跟踪检测（三） 阅读写作融会练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 The life of a premature (早产的) baby born during the winter storm in Texas was saved thanks to a team of medical professionals, including a doctor and two nurses who traveled from east Austin to Marble Falls in an effort to save the newborn baby's life. When Arias began experiencing pains, she and her parents headed to the closest hospital, Baylor Scott & White. Arias gave birth to her daughter, Zaylynn, who weighed just over one pound and was in need of advanced special care. However, the hospital does not offer the specialized care premature babies require, short of proper equipment. “We had five or six people out at the nurses' station calling hospital networks all over the state of Texas，”said Meredith Schubert, the nurse on duty when Arias arrived. “Nobody could answer our cry for help.” They finally reached Dr John Loyd, division neonatologist chief at Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin, Texas. Around 5 pm, after already having worked a long time, Loyd packed his SUV with equipment and he and two NICU (新生儿重症监护室) nurses set out for Marble Falls, about 55 miles away. The drive took Loyd and the nurses about two hours as they drove in the night through ice and snow. After safely arriving at the Marble Falls medical center around 8 pm, the Dell Children's workers set up a simple NICU. Together, the Dell Children's and Baylor Scott & White teams worked around the clock to care for the mother and daughter. Once the weather cleared enough to allow for a helicopter to safely land, Zaylynn was sent to Dell Children's, where there is a Level Ⅳ NICU. “It was unbelievable when the helicopter lifted off. There were tears from all of us，”said Schubert. “It was a huge relief (安慰) and sense of accomplishment and joy that she was doing so well and getting to the place that she needed to be.” Arias told KVUE that she was thankful to the doctors and nurses who worked together to save her daughter. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了得克萨斯州冬季风暴期间出生的一名早产儿的生命得以
