4 . Dramatic progress has been witnessed in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which benefits from those great contributions some ancient famous doctors made ant some experience they accumulated. The following three stand out among the ancient famous doctors.

Hua Tuo

Hua Tuo (145 — 208), famous physician of the late Eastern Han dynasty, also named Fu, was born at Qiao County in Peiguo (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). He led a simple life, away from fame and fortune. He would rather become a traveling physician for ordinary people.

Hua Tuo was an expert in several medical fields, such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and acupuncture. He was the first person to perform surgery with the aid of anesthesia (by applying Ma Fei San, a herbal anesthetic he invented) some 1,600 years before Europeans did.

Zhang Zhongjing

Zhang Zhongjing (150 — 219), also known as Zhang Ji, was one of the most distinguished Chinese physicians during the later years of the Eastern Han dynasty. He lived in today’s Nanyang in Henan Province. He was known as the “medical sage” by later generations due to his outstanding contributions to TCM.

During his time, with warlords (军阀) fighting for their own territories, many people were infected with fertility, an illness caused by fever. Zhang’s family was no exception. The experience stimulated his motivation in medicine. He learned medicine by studying from his town’s fellow Zhan Bozu, absorbing previous medicinal literature, collecting many prescriptions; and finally writing the medical masterpiece Shanghan Zabing Lun. Unfortunately shortly after its publication the book was lost during wartime.

Li Shizhen

Li Shizhen (1518 — 1593) was a famous medical scientist the Ming dynasty. He loved medicine from an early age and succeeded his ancestors as a doctor. He not only paid attention to accumulating experience in curing diseases, but also visited the famous mountains where medicinal materials were produced.

5 . In 2014, Time, a leading American magazine chooses the heroic health care workers caring for Ebola (埃博拉) patients in west Africa as their “Person of the Year”.

In February, 2014, the largest Ebola outbreak in world history began in the west African countries of Guinea (几内亚), Liberia and Sierra Leone (塞拉利昂). At the time, there was little to stop the disease from spreading further. Neither the governments nor the World Health Organization (WHO) was ready to fight it.

“But the Doctors Without Borders (无国界医生组织) and many others from all over the world fought side-by-side with local doctors and nurses, ambulance drivers and burial teams,” Time describes in an article.

Ebola has now killed more than 6,000 people (mostly in west Africa), and more than 17,000 people have been infected.

According to the WHO, 622 health care workers have been infected with Ebola through the end of Novembers 346 of them have died. The incidence rate (感染率) of Ebola in Sierra Leone is about 100 times higher for health care workers than it was for other people in the country.

Sierra Leone doctor KombaSongu-M’briwa got infected after treating a patient (who later died). He said that the Ebola field work was “the most difficult, most pitiful work of his life.” Luckily he survived and has decided to return to the field. “I don’t have regrets because I’m enjoying my job.”

Ebola is a contagious (传染性的) and very dangerous disease. It can lead to serious bleeding, organ failure (器官衰竭) and death. The disease kills about 50 percent of those infected.

6 . For three days, the doctor didn’t get single patient. Then on the fourth day, a woman opened the door to his office, saw him and ran away.

“I had to run after her, saying I can help her with the problem,” said Diarra Boubacar. The 53-year-old still has a good laugh when he talks about his first day working as a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) at a private hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan province.

“If my approach is not effective, I will not take any money from you,” he promised the woman. The woman finally accepted his treatment and felt better. “She started bringing her parents and her husband, and they all became my patients.”

Born in the African country of Mali, Boubacar first came to China in 1984 on a student exchange programme majoring in Chinese language and culture at Beijing Language and Culture University. After the course, he studied TCM at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.

Since TCM is also related to Chinese history and culture, students have to study ancient Chinese literature as most of the medical texts were written in ancient Chinese characters. “That’s a subject even the Chinese find difficult; so think of me, a foreigner!” he said.

However, the greatest challenge for him was to convince people that even though he was a foreigner, he could still treat them effectively with TCM.

Besides his work in the community, Boubacar is also known as the “African Norman Bethune”. Doctor Bethune was a Canadian frontline doctor who ran mobile hospital in north China in the 1930s.

“I want to build not only a hospital but also an educational centre where people can come and learn about Chinese medicine,” Boubacar said.

He plans to build a hospital with an educational centre where people can learn TCM in Africa. “If they learn TCM, they will be able to treat people in Africa in a very cheap and effective way.”

1. Why did the woman introduce her family to Boubacar?

A．The treatment is free.	B．The curative effect is good.
C．It is a private hospital.	D．The doctor is from Africa.

2. What was Boubacar’s original intention of coming to China?

A．To run an educational centre.	B．To start a private hospital.
C．To learn Chinese language and culture.	D．To learn from Norman Bethune,

3. What was the big difficulty Boubacar faced at the beginning of his study of TCM?

A．Understanding his teachers.

B．Studying Chinese language.

C．Convincing his classmates of his ability.

D．Understanding ancient Chinese literature.

4. Which of the following best describes Boubacar?

A．Creative and modest.	B．Talented and patient.
C．Determined and ambitious.	D．Humorous and diligent.

7 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I am a doctor, so I love my job. I always have, but I feel particularly proud to do it at the moment. With COVID-19 sweeping through Wuhan, people are avoiding hospitals as possible they can. However, pregnant women still need to come into the hospital. Babies still need to be born.

Right now, it is even scarier for these women, as they have to come in on their own, often feeling frightened. Their families are separated from them due to safety measures. We’ve always provided physical support, but now we are doing so on a different level — we also have to keep them company and offer emotional support. Unfortunately, some of the women have caught corona-virus, and being at the hospital puts me at risk. Personally, I feel protected because we have full personal protective equipment, which we wear all through our 13-hour shifts. You don’t know if someone is carrying corona-virus or not.

I didn’t want to put my family in danger by bringing the virus home and possibly passing it on to them. As a single parent to my children, Xiaohua, 12 years old, and Xiaoyong, 9, I realized I had to make a very tough decision about my family’s safety when the country went into lockdown. Giving up work wasn’t an option for me. I wanted to be able to look after the women who were feeling poorly and very scared, but I could not leave my little angels behind either.

At this point, my sister suggested that the children stay with her and her husband for the time being and leave me to my hospital duties. I thought it was a great idea, so we set a date for her to pick them up. When I explained the situation to my angels and told them they needed to stay with their aunt for a while, they both seemed upset, but agreed to go. On the day I saw them off, they kept looking back at me until they were too far to be seen.

After that, my workload increased because some of my coworkers fell ill.
