Section Ⅱ　Reading and Thinking 教材助读3 MOTHER OF TEN THOUSAND BABIES “Life is precious<1>．…To a person ①nothing is more precious than their life, and if they entrust<2> me with that life, how could I refuse that trust, ②saying I'm cold, hungry, or tired？” These words of Dr Lin Qiaozhi give us ③a look into the heart of this amazing woman, and what carried her through<3> a life of hard choices. ①nothing is more precious than their life是否定词和比较级连用表示最高级的含义，相当于their life is the most precious。 ②saying I'm cold, hungry, or tired是现在分词短语作伴随状语。 ③此句中，the heart of this amazing woman和what carried…共同作介词into的宾语，what在宾语从句中作主语。 As a five-year-old girl，Lin Qiaozhi was deeply affected<4> by her mother's death. At age 18, instead of following the traditional path of marriage<5> ④like the majority<6> of girls, she chose to study medicine.“Why should girls learn so much? ⑤Finding a good husband should be their final goal！” her brother complained<7>，thinking of the high tuition<8> fees<9>. She responded<10>， “I'd rather stay<11> single to study all my life！” ④like the majority of girls是介词短语作状语。 ⑤句中Finding a good husband 为动名词短语作主语；thinking of…为现在分词短语作状语。 Eight years later, Lin graduated from Peking Union<12> Medical College (PUMC) with the Wenhai Scholarship<13>, ⑥the highest prize given to graduates.She immediately became ⑦the first woman ever to be hired<14> as a resident physician<15> in the OB-GYN department of the PUMC Hospital. Within six months, she was named a chief resident physician, ⑧a position<16> that usually took four years to achieve. After working for a few years, she was sent to study in Europe and then, in 1939, in the US. She greatly impressed her American colleagues<17>， ⑨who invited her to stay.Dr Lin, however, rejected<18> the offer.She wanted to serve the women and children at home. ⑥此处是名词短语作同位语，解释说明the Wenhai Scholarship。 ⑦the first woman ever to be hired中序数词或被序数词修饰的名词后面的定语往往用不定式。 ⑧此处是名词短语作同位语，解释说明a chief resident physician, 其中that引导定语从句，修饰a position。 ⑨此处who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词her American colleagues。 In 1941, Dr Lin became the first Chinese woman ever to be appointed<19> director of the OB-GYN department<20> of the PUMC Hospital, but just a few months later, the department was closed because of<21> the war. ⑩Thinking of all the people still in need of<22> help, Dr Lin opened a private clinic<23>. She charged very low fees to treat patients and often reduced<24> costs for poor patients. At times<25> she was even seen riding a donkey to faraway<26> villages to provide medical care. ⑩Thinking of all the people…是现在分词短语作原因状语。 The new People's Republic of China saw Dr Lin Qiaozhi playing a key role<27>. In 1954, she was elected<28> to the first National People's Congress and, over the next several decades<29>， she held many important positions. Her heart, however, was elsewhere<30>. ⑪She was more interested in tending<31> patients, publishing<32> medical research on care for women and children, and training the next generation of doctors. “The OB-GYN department cares for<33> two lives，” she told new staff<34> in her department.“As doctors, we should be responsible for<35> the patients and treat them as<36> our sisters.” ⑪句中tending…publishing…training…是由and连接的三个动名词短语作并列宾语。 Though Lin Qiaozhi never married, she was known as<37> the “mother of ten thousand babies”， ⑫having delivered<38> over 50,000 babies in her lifetime. Dr Lin did not retire<39> until the day she died, 22 April 1983. Since she had no children of her own, she left her savings<40> to a kindergarten and a fund for new doctors. And even as she lay dying, her final thoughts were for others. “I'm ready to go，” she said. “Don't try to rescue me any more. Don't waste the medicine any more.” ⑫having delivered…是现在分词的完成式，表示动作先于谓语动词的动作发生。 <1>precious adj.珍稀的；宝贵的 <2>entrust vt. 委托；交付 <3>carry sb through sth帮助某人渡过难关 <4>affect vt.影响；侵袭；感染 <5>marriage n．结婚；婚姻 <6>majority n．大部分；大多数 ※minority n．少数，少数民族 <7>complain vi.& vt.抱怨；发牢骚 ※complaint n．抱怨 <8>tuition n．(小组)教学；讲课 <9>fee n．专业服务费；报酬 ※tuition fees学费 <10>respond vt.回答；回复vi.做出反应；回应 ※response n．反应；回答；回复 <11>would rather do sth宁愿做某事 <12>union n．协会；联合会；工会 <13>scholarship n．奖学金 <14>hire vt.聘任；雇用；租用 n．租借；租用 <15>physician n．医师；(尤指)内科医生 ※resident physician住院医师 <16>position n．职位，姿势 <17>colleague n．同事；同僚 <18>reject vt.拒绝接受；不录用 <19>appoint vt.任命；委派 <20>department n．部门 <21>because of因为，由于 <22>in need of需要 <23>clinic n．诊所；门诊部 <24>reduce vt.减少 <25>at times有时 <26>faraway adj.遥远的 <27>play a key role发挥关键作用 <28>elect vt.选举；推选 <29>decade n．十年；十年期 <30>elsewhere adv.在别处；去别处 <31>tend vt.照顾；照料vi.倾向；趋于 <32>publish vt.发表(作品)；出版 <33>care for照顾；喜欢 <34>staff n．员工；全体职员 <35>be responsible for对……负责任 <36>treat…as…把……看作/视为…… <37>be known as作为……而出名 <38>deliver vt.发表；接生；递送 <39>retire vi.& vt.退休；退职；退出 <40>saving n．节省物；节省；节约；[pl.]储蓄金；存款,　　 万婴之母 “生命是宝贵的。……对一个人来说，没有什么比生命更珍贵了，如果他们把生命托付给我，我怎么能拒绝这种信任，说我又冷又饿又累呢？”林巧稚医生的这番话让我们得以窥见这位了不起的女性的内心世界，并了解是什么支撑着她度过艰难抉择的一生。 作为一个5岁的女孩，林巧稚深受母亲去世的影响。18岁时，她没有像大多数女孩一样走传统的婚姻之路，而是选择了学医。“为什么女孩子要学这么多？找一个好丈夫应该是她们的最终目标！”想到高额的学费，她哥哥抱怨道。她回答说：“我宁愿终生保持单身去学习！” 8年后，林毕业于北京协和医学院，获得了“文海”奖学金，这是授予毕业生的最高奖励。她立即成为第一位被聘为北京协和医院妇产科住院医师的女性。不到6个月，她就被任命为首席住院医师，这一职位通常需要4年时间才能完成。工作了几年后，她被派往欧洲学习，然后在1939年被派往美国。她给美国的同事留下了深刻的印象，他们邀请她留下来。然而，林医生拒绝了这个提议。她想为国内的妇女和儿童服务。 1941年，林医生成为第一位被任命为北京协和医院妇产科主任的中国女性，但就在几个月后，该科因战争而关闭。想到所有仍然需要帮助的人，林医生开了一家私人诊所。她治疗病人收费很低，并经常减免贫困病人的费用。有时人们甚至会看到她骑着毛驴去遥远的村庄提供医疗服务。 在新中国成立后，林巧稚医生发挥了重要作用。1954年，她被选举参加第一届全国人民代表大会，在接下来的几十年，她担任了许多重要职务。然而，她的心在别处。她对照顾病人、发表关于妇女和儿童护理的医学研究和培训下一代医生更感兴趣。“妇产科照顾着两条生命。”她告诉她部门的新员工。 “作为医生，我们应该对病人负责，像对待姐妹一样对待她们。” 林巧稚尽管从未结婚，但她被誉为“万婴之母”，她一生接生了5万多名婴儿。林医生直到1983年4月22日去世才退休。 因为她没有自己的孩子，她把积蓄留给了一所幼儿园和为新医生设立的基金。甚至在她弥留之际，她最后惦念的仍是他人：“我准备走了，”她说。“不要再试图救我了，不要再浪费医药了。” Ⅰ.明主旨大意 What's the main idea of the text?
