Thirteen-year-old Madison Williams was studying in her bedroom when Leigh Williams, her mother, told her that a little boy fell into a septic tank(化粪池) and no one could reach him.
Madison and Leigh ran to a neighbor’s yard, where they found the boy’s worried mother and other adults surrounding the tank opening. It stuck out a few inches above the ground and was 11 inches in width-slightly wider than a basketball-with a hatch(盖子) that had been moved unnoticed. The two-year-old boy had slipped in and was drowning in four feet of waste water inside the eight-feet-deep tank.
Madison surveyed the situation. She was the only one who could fit through the small hole. Without hesitation, she told the adults, “Lower me in. Inside, the tank was dark, and the air was smelly. In the process, she jammed her left wrist against a hidden pole, injuring the muscles in her wrist so severely that the hand was left useless.
Rather than tending to her injury, Madison tried to feel the underwater boy. Minutes went by before she saw the outline of his foot. Madison shot her good hand out and grasped the foot tightly “Pull me up!〞 she shouted. Then, ten minutes after Madison had entered the tank, she and the boy were lifted out.
But the boy wasn’t out of trouble. He had lacked Oxygen long enough that he wasn’t breathing. He was placed on his side, and an adult hit him hard on the back. It was only when Madison heard him cry that she knew he was all right. It took Madison longer to recover than the boy, who was taken to hospital and left hospital that same night. She, however, experienced months of painful treatment, for the injury that she had postponed tending was more severe, which, says neighbor Mary Holley, made the girl’s actions all the more impressive.

More than four decades ago, British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human life growing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab. Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF(体外受精) and in 2022 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine.
The prize for Dr. Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2022, includes a ￡900,000 cheque. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as “a milestone in modern medicine〞.
With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester—born physiologist developed IVF—leading to the birth of the world’s first test tube baby. Dr. Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertility(生育) treatment and given hope to millions of couples.
It was a scientific breakthrough that changed the lives of millions of couples. They said, “His achievements have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes humans unable to have a baby. This condition has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind, including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.〞
Professor Edwards, who has 5 daughters and 11 grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955. He once said, “The most important thing in life is having a child. Nothing is more special than a child.〞 With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, Prof. Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridgeshire, which now treats more than 900 women a year. Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment.
But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the Catholic Church who said it was “unethical and immoral〞.
Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive(生殖的) sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was “long overdue〞. He said, “We couldn’t understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted—this is the cherry on the cake for him.〞
Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was “thrilled and delighted〞.
32. What is Robert Edwards' contribution to science?
A. Challenging a disease which stops couples having a baby.
B. Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growing.
C. Enabling millions of couples to live a better life.
D. Helping couples with infertility to have test tube babies.
33. What does the underlined word “afflicting〞 in Paragraph 4 most probably refer to?
A. Troubling. B. Developing.
C. Improving. D. Frightening.
34. It can be inferred from Paragraph 6 and Paragraph 7 that ________.
A. some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awarded
B. different opinions were voiced on Professor Edwards' work
C. Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthrough
D. the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral
