19、中非常忙碌，到国外学习和写书和写作。5.其中一个引起了我的注意。6.这是一本小册子，解释从生育和照顾婴儿方面如何降低死亡率。7.她提出了一些简单的规则来保持婴儿的干净，健康，远离疾病。8.她为什么要写那个？9.林巧稚认为需要建议的女人是谁？10.我仔细看了看课文，意识到这是为农村妇女写的。11.如果他们有紧急情况，他们可能找不到医生。12.突然间，我觉得一个女人在那时接受医学训练是多么困难。13.那一代女孩教育总是排在男孩的第二位.14.她比任何人都聪明吗？15.进一步的阅读使我认识到，这是艰苦的工作和决心，以及她的温柔的性质，使她进入医学院。16.后来她成功的原因是她对所有病人的关心和体贴。

20、17.有一则故事讲述了林巧稚在一天的工作后疲倦了，深夜送了一个婴儿给一个无法支付她的贫困家庭的婴儿。18.现在我迫不及待地想了解更多关于她的情况。19.我发现林巧稚把她的一生都奉献给了她的病人，选择了没有自己的家庭。20.相反，她确保大约50000名婴儿安全分娩。21.这时候我很兴奋。22.为什么不像林巧稚那样在医学院学习并继续她的好工作呢？23.对我来说仍然不晚的是，提高我的学业，为大学入学考试做准备Unit2WorkingthelandReadingAPIONEERFORALLPEOPLEAlthoughheisoneofChinasmostfamousscientists,YuanLon
