晨读2 Using Language 素材这样理解积累 [原文呈现] Hello! My name is Zhan Bingbing. Lately①， all of us have seen Chinese people on TV in far-off② places in the world, helping other countries to develop. We see Chinese workers building roads in the Congo, a port in Pakistan, railways in Panama, and an airport in Sri Lanka. And we see Chinese miners, oil workers, agricultural experts, mechanics③， and doctors working in nearly every corner of the world. And some people may ask, “Is it worth it④？ Why help people overseas when China has many areas that are still in need of development？” I had the same questions myself. But for me, it was much more personal. You see, my mother is a medical doctor⑤， and for the last two years, she has been working as a volunteer consultant⑥ in Tanzania, Africa, as a part of a medical team sent by the Chinese government. To be honest, when my mother first left for Africa, I was upset⑦. My mother cooked me dinner every night, and she took good care of me. But more importantly, she was my best friend. We talked together, we spent our leisure time⑧ together, and except for school and work, we were never apart. So I was unhappy about her leaving without even asking for my input⑨. But then I began to hear about the work she was doing in Tanzania, a country that has many health problems【1】， and now I am singing a different tune⑩. Many dangerous diseases which are rare in China are quite commonly contracted in Tanzania. And, while the country is quite beautiful and has much natural wealth, many of the people are quite poor and live without things we take for granted 【2】， such as electricity, running water, cars and good transport systems ， and supermarkets. One project that my mother worked on was helping to build a cardiac hospital. Prior to this, if a Tanzanian had a heart condition and needed surgery ， they would have to go abroad. Since this was quite expensive, many people went without medical treatment and some even died. Now, not only are Tanzanians helped by the hospital, but people in neighbouring countries are helped as well【3】. It has made a big difference to their lives. My mother also does a circuit of the rural villages to provide medical treatment, help those with disabilities, and provide consultation and training for local doctors. In addition, her team has given patients a new malaria treatment invented in China, and this has saved many lives. 【1】“she was doing in Tanzania”为省略关系词that/which的定语从句，修饰先行词the work。 a country that has many health problems作Tanzania的同位语，“that has many health problems”为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a country。 【2】“while the country...natural wealth”为while引导的让步状语从句，while在此意为“虽然、尽管”。主句中的“we take for granted”为省略关系词that/which的定语从句，修饰先行词things。 【3】本句中包含了“not only...but...as well”结构。not only置于句首时，其所在的分句通常要用部分倒装语序。 Today, I want to relay to you that I' ... ...
