3. Jane admires what the girl in the story did.
4. Luke doesn’t believe anybody would do what the girl in the story did.
5. Jane wonders how the girl became a doctor later.
L: Hi Jane! What are you reading
J: Oh, hey, Luke! I’m reading a very interesting magazine article about moral dilemmas.
L: Moral dilemma What do you mean
J: You know, it's when you have two choices, and you have to choose one, but for moral reasons sometimes it could be really
difficult to decide.
L: Oh, situations like that don’t happen very often, do they
J: Actually, I think people face moral dilemmas all the time, even us students.
L: Really Like what
J: Well, for example, it mentions a girl who was taking the entrance exam for a medical university in Beijing. During the exam,
the student next to her fainted. The girl had a choice. Should she finish the exam or should she stop and help the student
L: Surely the teachers would look after the student who fainted!
J: Well, that’s what I thought—but not this girl. She stopped to help the student, thinking that it was better to put the needs of the
other person first.
L: So what happened to her exam
J: She never finished it. Instead, she carried the student to a safe place and looked after her. Then she went to the hospital with
the student and called her sister.
L: I can’t believe she would give up her chance to get into medical university! Who would do such a thing
J: Well, that girl was Lin Qiaozhi. She later DID get into medical university and then she became a great doctor. She became
famous for caring for tens of thousands of women and their babies.
L: Oh, wow! So she became a doctor even though she left her exam that day!
J: Yes. Her life was full of hard choices, but she didn’t let them stop her from taking care of people who were in need. She always
cared for others more than for herself.
