Swedish master medical photographer Lennart Nilsson is a pioneer in medical photography.In association with researchers and with the help of advanced, specially designed equipment, he has documented the inside of man down to the level of a cell with his camera.
Born in Strängnäs, a satellite city of Stockholm, in 1922, Nilsson got his first camera from his father when he was 11 years old.From the early stage, he has been interested in looking at ants and taking photos of them.Throughout the years, he has devoted special attention to capturing the creation of a human being, from conception to birth.
In 2006 when his photo book Life was published in both Swedish and English, he was invited to give a lecture at the Stockholm bookstore.He vividly described to the public how he took the photos so that the development process of the embryo can be understood better.Finally when he was signing his name in the book, I asked him what made him so passionate about working on this, he stopped writing and thought for a second, “I think it is the respect for life,” Nilsson said.
Nilsson began his career as a photographic journalist in the middle of the 1940s and published a number of photo-essays in Swedish and foreign magazines, including "Polar Bear Hunting in Spitzbergen" (1947) and Midwife.
“When I went to the professor to take the embryo photo, I was looking around and then I saw something which was unbelievable, it was a tiny human embryo lies in a very special place, a 10-20 millimeter embryo with hands, arms and eyes, and I got a shock,” Nilsson said.
Nilsson began experimenting with new photographic techniques in the mid-1950s to report on the world of ants and life in the sea.His revealing macro-studies were published in his book on ants, Myror (1959), and in the Life in the Sea (1959), and in Close to Nature (1984).In the 1960s special designed, very slim endoscopes (内窥镜))made it possible for him to photograph the blood vessels and the cavities (空洞) of the body with the necessary depth of field and, in 1970, he used a scanning electron microscope for the first time, he was also considered the pioneer for three dimension digital pictures of the body organs.
After his photographs of human embryo were published, he was encouraged to continue photographing the origins of human being.
Nilsson is very modest and sincere.At age of nearly 88, he is still cooperating with colleagues in Karolinska Institute where the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is selected every year.
“He can forget all the other things when he is working and he is still working diligently,” Mrs Nilsson told People’s Daily Online.

  The first morning I awoke in the house where Cathy Freeman once lived-in Miller Street, Richmond, an inner city suburb of Melbourne, my eyes caught upon a black and white sticker, with a name and number on it, pasted(粘贴)to a mirror beside the bed.The number and word were “48.60, Atlanta”.Cathy had typed the famous prediction(预言)on a sticker ages before the 1996 Olympic Games, as an affirmation(断言)of the time she wanted to run in the 400m final.

  Cathy thought she was typing the time that black French woman, the pretty MarieJose Perec, had run to win the 400m gold medal at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992.She believed she’d have to aim to run at least that fast in Atlanta but she got it wrong.Perec ran slower, 48.83 seconds in Barcelona.But what matter? The power of the mind!In Atlanta Cathy ran what she typed, or near enough, 48.63.To gaze(注视)at that time, still there, to see her grand ambition(抱负)-it was then a whole second faster than she had run before-was to become history.As I stood there I saw her once more in slow motion, in Atlanta, pushing herself to the edge, and beyond.Above the number was another sticker with the words “World’s Greatest Athlete”.They were the words Cathy had copied from an old sticker that her mother had given her as a teenager, a legend(座右铭)to paste on her bedroom wall to flow into her daughter’s mind, and it had worked.

It was a hot summer day. My dad and I were getting ready to go out for a ride on the boat with my friend Katie and the dog when the phone call came, the call that made that bright, beautiful day a cold, dark, gloomy one.

I had just put on my suit, shorts, and tank top, and packed my bag with sunscreen and everything else I would need for the day. I ran into my parents' room to find Dad. When I saw him on the phone, he was crying. I'd never seen my dad cry before. My heart sank. What possibly could have happened?

"Max, I'm so sorry," I heard him say. That's when it hit me. I knew that Suzie had died. Max has been my dad's best friend for years. Suzie, his daughter, had a rare disease that mainly affected her body. Her brain was OK. She knew what was going on; she knew that she had problems and was different from other kids. Once she told her dad that she wished she could die and be born in a different body. Yet although she couldn't live a normal life ,she was still happy.

When Suzie and I were little, we spent quite a bit of time together. As we grew up, we grew apart. She lived in New York, and I lived in the Midwest. When Suzie was ten she had to live in a hospital in Virginia. About eight months before she died, Max gave us her number at the hospital and we talked at least twice a week until the end. Suzie was always so excited to talk to us and wanted to know every detail about my life. She wanted to know everything I did and every thing I ate. In a way, she lived through me.

    After we found out about her death, we made our plans to go to New York for the funeral. When she was alive, I sent her a Beanie Baby and she sent one back to me. I had bought her another one but never had the chance to send it to her, so I took it to put in her casket(棺材).

Her funeral was very different from any funeral I'd ever been to. After they lowered her casket, each one of us put a shovelful of dirt over her. I remember crying so hard, I felt weak. My cheeks burned from the tears. My whole body was shaking as I picked up the shovel, but I'm glad I did it.

When Suzie and I first started calling one another, I thought it would be more of a burden on me, but I was completely wrong. I learned so much from her. She gave me more than I could ever give to her. I will never forget her or the talks we had. I now know that I must never take anything for granted especially my health and the gift of life.

1.What does the underlined part “In a way, she lived through me.” mean?

A.Suzie got to know what life outside hospital was like by sharing my experience.

B.Suzie was financially dependent of me.

C.Suzie managed to pull through her illness with the help of my family.

D.Suzie was too weak to live her own life.

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A.Suzie was the only person helping the author with difficulties.

B.The author feared that she might also get the same disease as Suzie.

C.The author benefited a lot from talking on the phone with Suzie.

D.The author didn't understand Suzie was her true friend until Suzie's death.

3.What is the most important lesson the author learned from Suzie's death?

A.Never let go of a friend even if you are apart.

B.Be thankful for what we have in our life.

C.Talking with a friend can cure your illness.

D.We can learn more from our friends than they do from us.
