The Woman People Remember In many personal accounts of success, people often focus on remarkable achievements, public admiration, or the moment when an ordinary person becomes a popular figure. Yet some lives inspire us in a quieter and deeper way. This is true of Lien, a woman who had a difficult childhood, lived through years of conflict, and later became widely admired not for fame, but for devotion to others. Those who knew her did not describe her as a visionary or a national hero. Instead, they remembered her as a respectable, well-educated woman who was determined to do her duty, no matter how hard life became. Lien was born into a poor family in the countryside and had only limited access to formal education in her early years. While other children spent their childhood in greater comfort, she learned to work hard, take care of younger relatives, and value every chance to attend school. Her ambition was not driven by pride. She simply wanted to study medicine so that she could save lives. That goal seemed almost impossible at the time, yet she refused to give up on it. When she was finally given the chance to continue her studies, she must have been on top of the world. Her teachers admired her for her discipline, and their respect contributed to her growing determination to succeed. During the resistance war, Lien volunteered to work in a field hospital, where conditions were harsh and resources were far from accessible. Day after day, she took care of wounded soldiers, assisted surgeons during operations, and sometimes stayed awake through the night to comfort patients in pain. There were moments when fear could easily have overcome her, but she remained calm and devoted to her work. She understood that medicine was not only about carrying out an operation successfully. It was also about preserving hope in people who had almost lost it. In that difficult environment, her quiet strength impressed everyone around her. After the war, Lien did not seek admiration or celebrate her own contribution. Instead, she returned to civilian life and continued to serve poor patients in remote areas. She also took part in health education projects, gave presentations to young volunteers, and collaborated with local schools on community programs. Her work made medical knowledge more accessible to ordinary families, and many young people said that her story inspired them to study harder and contribute to society. Although she never became famous in the usual sense, she became the kind of person others deeply admired for both character and action. What makes Lien’s story memorable is not a single dramatic achievement, but the way her whole life formed an inspiring character. She showed that success is not always measured by wealth, titles, or public celebration. Sometimes, the greatest achievement is to remain devoted in difficult times, to refuse to give up on others, and to turn personal hardship into a life of service. Long after her passing, people still speak of her with affection and admiration. Her story reminds us that the most powerful lives are often the ones built not on glory, but on determination, compassion, and the choice to keep helping others. |

Question 1: In which paragraph does the passage describe Lien working in a difficult medical environment?
Ta có thông tin trong đoạn 3: “During the resistance war, Lien volunteered to work in a field hospital, where conditions were harsh and resources were far from accessible.”
Tạm dịch: “Trong thời kỳ kháng chiến, Liên tình nguyện làm việc tại một bệnh viện dã chiến, nơi điều kiện rất khắc nghiệt và nguồn lực rất thiếu thốn.”
Phân tích:
Câu hỏi hỏi đoạn nào mô tả Liên làm việc trong môi trường y tế khó khăn. Cụm “field hospital”, “conditions were harsh”, “resources were far from accessible” xuất hiện ở đoạn 3, cho thấy rõ đây là môi trường điều trị khó khăn.
A. Sai vì đoạn 1 chỉ giới thiệu khái quát về cuộc đời và phẩm chất của Liên.
B. Sai vì đoạn 2 nói về tuổi thơ, việc học và ước mơ học y.
C. Đúng vì đoạn 3 trực tiếp mô tả Liên làm việc ở bệnh viện dã chiến trong điều kiện khắc nghiệt.
D. Sai vì đoạn 4 nói về công việc của Liên sau chiến tranh.
Đáp án: C
