题目内容:
A young woman went into a Paris hospital one day in 1816. She was having trouble breathing. Dr. Rene Laennec was trying to listen to her body to find signs of trouble. But he could not hear anything because she was overweight. Also, he thought, “She will not like it if I press my ear against her chest.”
After working hard, Dr. Laennec went for a walk in a nearby park. As the doctor was walking, he saw a group of boys playing with a long piece of wood. One boy was scratching(刮擦)the end of the wood with a pin(针). At the other end, the other boys had their ears pressed against the wood. They were listening to the scratching sound the pin made.
Dr. Laennec had a great idea. He rushed back to the hospital and rolled up some paper. With the rolled-up paper, he listened to the young woman’s chest. He could hear everything perfectly. “This idea will change medicine forever,” he thought.
Dr. Laennec used this idea to invent the first stethoscope(听诊器). This invention is still used by doctors today.
