WHY NOT① 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 on② great women of China.
By chance③ I came across④ an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi⑤, a specialist in women's diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career⑥, travelling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles⑦. One of them caught my eye. It was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate⑧ from having and caring for babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and free from sickness⑨. Why did she write that? Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice? I looked carefully at the text and realized that it was intended⑩ for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency⑪ they could not reach a doctor.
