Listening and Speaking 

2 Listen to the conversation and complete the table to describe the moral dilemma that Jane is talking about.

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.
