There once lived a woman who had been blind for decades.Then one day she found a doctor who treated her with a new device the doctor had invented called the Laserphaco Probe.For the first time in over 30 years, the woman could regain her eyesight.The doctor responsible for this life-changing surgery was called Dr Patricia E.Bath.

Dr Bath was an American ophthalmologist (眼科醫(yī)生), researcher, and advocate for the prevention, treatment, and cure of blindness.She had an interest in science and medicine from a young age, which she said was first evoked by a chemistry kit her mother had bought for her when she was young.

During a fellowship at Columbia University, Dr Bath realized that African Americans were twice as likely to suffer from blindness than other patients she attended to.This observation led to her development of a community ophthalmology system, which increased the amount of eye care given to underserved communities.This allowed thousands of people to get early preventative care for conditions that would have otherwise been untreated, saving the eyesight of many.

Dr Bath invented the new technique to remove cataracts (白內(nèi)障) by the Laserphaco Probe.This technique is still used around the world, and it has allowed doctors to restore patients'eyesight in a more precise and less painful manner than techniques before it.

Cataracts develop as people age.They form when the proteins in the lens (晶狀體) of the eye break down,making the lens cloudy.This can significantly affect vision.Traditional cataract surgery involved removing the cloudy lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens.However, this surgery was not always successful, and could be quite painful.Dr Bath succeeded in solving the problem.

Dr Bath made innovative contributions to the field of medicine which had long-lasting impacts on the communities she served.

Ⅵ.讀后續(xù)寫

閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。

It was my birthday that day, and my grandfather gave me a gift—a piggy bank.It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out.The only way to get the money was to break the piggy bank open.My grandfather explained that was the whole idea.And he added,“The piggy bank would help save your money so that, at the end of the year, you might have enough for that bike you dreamed about.”He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank.I agreed immediately and promised sincerely,“I wouldn't break it open until I could afford my dream bike.”

Whenever my grandfather gave me some pocket money, he would say,“This is for spending.But you can save some and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up.”When he gave me larger amounts, it was clear for me to save the extra money in the piggy bank.For some time, this worked fine.I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins.As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike,and all the adventures I could have on it.

Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice creams or beautiful presents,I would imagine riding my bike on the street,and thinking of that, my thoughts about buying those things went away.So for almost three years, I had only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out.I thought I wouldn't break my piggy bank for anything.But one day something unexpected happened.I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province.As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless.Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night.Staring at my piggy bank, I was thinking about what I could do with it.
