Dr. Lin Qiaozhi graduated from Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) with the Wenhai Scholarship, the highest prize given to graduates. After working for a few years, she was sent to study in Europe and then, in 1939, in the US. She had a great influence on her American workmates, who invited her to stay after graduation. However, she refused. She wanted to serve the women and children at home. Thinking of all the people in need of help, Dr. Lin opened a private clinic(诊所) after going back to China. She asked very little money to treat patients and often cut costs for poor patients. At times she was even seen riding a donkey(驴) to faraway villages to provide medical care. The new People's Republic of China saw Dr. Lin Qiaozhi playing a key role. In 1954, she was chosen as a member of the first National People’s Congress(全国人民代表大会). She was more interested in taking care of patients, doing medical research on care for women and children, and training other doctors. “We care for two lives,” she told new staff. “As doctors, we should be responsible for the patients and treat them as our sisters.” Though Lin Qiaozhi never married, she was known as the “mother of thousands of babies”, having helped mothers to give birth to over 50,000 babies in her lifetime. Dr. Lin did not stop working until the day she died, April 22, 1983. Since she had no children of her own, she left her money to a kindergarten and a fund for new doctors. And even as she was dying, her final thoughts were for others. “I'm ready to go,” she said. “Don't try to save me any more. Don't waste the medicine any more.” 1.

Mum: Well, I know they're much better for the environment than plastic bags. That's why I stopped using plastic ones. Grant: Well, that's not what we heard today. Paper bags use more energy than plastic ones and they pollute more. Mum:Really? How Come? Grant: According to my teacher, it takes four times more energy to produce a paper bag than to produce a plastic one. Mum: I didn't know that. I'm really surprised. Grant: Also, paper is made from trees and that means forests are losing lots of trees. And that means some animals won't have trees to live in. Mum: So how can we solve the problem? Grant: Well. the best solution is to use cloth bags. Then you can use the same one over and over again. Mum: OK. I'll use some cloth bags next time I go shopping. Grant: Great! 1.

Wu Yuren is a retired professor of physics from Tongji University. These days, this 75-year-old teacher has caught much attention on Douyin for her hard work for the popularization (推广) of science so that people can know more about science. Wu has worked on science popularization for 19 years. However, science popularization is never an easy job. It's difficult to put physics principles(原理) into easy-to-understand language. And it is even more difficult to teach science to children. Wu and her team began to make short videos three years ago. In the videos, Wu shows people interesting physics experiments (实验). To her surprise, her videos are popular with people of all ages. So far, over 1 million fans have watched Wu's popular science videos on the Internet. In her videos, Wu often wears a vest with many pockets. Her pockets are full of magical “toys”, such as water bottles, coins and glasses. She uses them to teach. “Physics is very interesting.

Dr. Lin Qiaozhi graduated from Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) with the Wenhai Scholarship, the highest prize given to graduates. After working for a few years, she was sent to study in Europe and then, in 1939, in the US. She had a great influence on her American workmates, who invited her to stay after graduation. However, she refused. She wanted to serve the women and children at home. Thinking of all the people in need of help, Dr. Lin opened a private clinic(诊所) after going back to China. She asked very little money to treat patients and often cut costs for poor patients. At times she was even seen riding a donkey(驴) to faraway villages to provide medical care. The new People's Republic of China saw Dr. Lin Qiaozhi playing a key role. In 1954, she was chosen as a member of the first National People’s Congress(全国人民代表大会). She was more interested in taking care of patients, doing medical research on care for women and children, and training other doctors. “We care for two lives,” she told new staff. “As doctors, we should be responsible for the patients and treat them as our sisters.” Though Lin Qiaozhi never married, she was known as the “mother of thousands of babies”, having helped mothers to give birth to over 50,000 babies in her lifetime. Dr. Lin did not stop working until the day she died, April 22, 1983. Since she had no children of her own, she left her money to a kindergarten and a fund for new doctors. And even as she was dying, her final thoughts were for others. “I'm ready to go,” she said. “Don't try to save me any more. Don't waste the medicine any more.” 1. When was Dr. Lin Qiaozhi sent to study in the US? 2. Why did Dr. Lin refuse to stay in the US? 3. Where was Dr. Lin seen riding a donkey to provide medical care? 4.
