Unit 2 There were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his own

My hero - Dr Norman Bethune

By Wang Lingling

Norman Bethune is one of the most famous heroes in China. He was a Canadian doctor. He came to China to help the Chinese people and died for them.

Norman Bethune was born in 1890. He became a doctor in 1916 and went to Spain in 1936 to treat the wounded soldiers during the war there. He soon realised that many people were dying because they did not get to hospital quickly enough. Dr Bethune developed new ways of taking care of the sick. He invented special medical tools to use outside hospitals and close to the fighting areas so that doctors could treat the wounded more quickly. His inventions saved many lives.

In 1938, Dr Bethune came to China and helped treat the wounded during the Anti- Japanese War. At that time, there were few doctors, so he had to work very hard on his own. His experience of treating people in Spain was useful in China. He developed training courses for local doctors and nurses, and wrote books so that they could learn about how he treated the sick.

Dr Bethune often worked very hard without resting or taking care of himself. Once, he even worked for sixty-nine hours without stopping and managed to save over a hundred lives. One day in 1939, he cut his finger during an operation, but he continued his work without treating it. In the end, he died of his wound.

Dr Bethune's work for the Chinese people made him a hero in China. There are many books and films about him, and he is still remembered in both China and Canada today.

One does not find many outdoor cafes in Great Britain, for the weather there often changes during the day. When British people want to have some drinks either with a group of friends or by themselves, they usually go to a pub. The “pub” is the short form for “public house”. In a pub people can buy all kinds of drinks, from beer to orange juice. The Englishman’s favorite drink is beer.

Quite a lot of businessmen have lunch in pubs near their offices because in many pubs fast food is served. There may even be a restaurant in a pub. The food they sell is usually cheap and good. In the countryside the pub is often part of an inn – a kind of small hotel. People can stay there for the night.

The opening time of pubs is set by law. It might be different from place to place, but usually a pub is open from half past eleven to three o’clock and from half past five to half past ten or eleven o’clock. In the old days, children were not allowed to enter pubs, because when people drank too much they could become troublesome. Today, however, more and more pubs are opening their gardens to customers, so that the children can play safely in the garden while their parents are having a quick drink.

Generally speaking, the English pub is a friendly place, and offers good drink and food.

1. Where do British people usually go for drinks?

A. Cafes. B. Pubs. C. Restaurants. D. Hotels.

2. At the most, how many opening hours does a pub usually have every day?

A. 8 hours. B. 9 hours. C. 10 hours. D. 11 hours.

3. Why were children not allowed to enter pubs in the old days?

A. Because people often drank too much and became troublesome.

B. Because the pubs did not open their gardens to children.

C. Because the pubs had no orange juice for children.

D. Because people liked to stay in the pubs for the night.

4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Englishmen like to drink beer very much.

B. You can stay for the night in countryside pubs.

C. Usually pubs don't open until half past eleven.
