     After two years his parents died and he was taken into care by one of his relatives who worked as a nurse in a hospital．His relative noticed that he was very smart and sent him to school．After graduating from high school，he decided to study at the medical school in Bucharest where he studied under Professor Victor Babes．
     Levaditi became a doctor in 1902 and then he specialized in researching tuberculosis （结核） in Paris at the Louis Pasteur Institute and to Frankfurt ，at the Experimental Therapy Institute．He also managed to contribute to the invention of the anti-polio vaccine （消除小儿麻痹症的疫苗） in 1913．
     Levaditi returned to Romania in 1919 as a researcher to teach at university but Romanian universities did not accept him as he criticized Romania's national health system and its political parties．He often said that it was not acceptable that the government did not care for its people and that there were not enough doctors and hospitals．Thus，he returned to France to continue his research in 1920．That same year he was invited to lead the Rockefeller Institute in New York but he refused．

• 3．I was a shy girl．I didn't even like to answer the telephone for fear I'd have to talk to somebody I didn't know．I enjoyed the loneliness of exploring nature．However，at school I had to spend all day in the company of others．My escape was reading．I spent a lot of lime studying and was rewarded with good grades．My only failure was Spanish -I'd get all As on my written work and tests，but Ds and Fs on the spoken part．
     Eventually I went to college．During my third year of college，I had enough of being shy and determined to change my outlook and behavior．One day while at school，I noticed an advertisement for positions on the local classical music radio station．I had grown up listening to classical music，and I could easily pronounce names such as Tchaikovsky，Albinoni，and Chopin．
     I had absolutely no background in radio，and absolutely no hope of getting the job．The idea of talking to thousands of listeners in "radio land" terrified me．However，I luckily survived the interview．I was given brief descriptions of symphonies（交响乐）and a public service announcement to read，and a list of composers' names to pronounce．It wasn't hard for me．I left the recording session（录音时段）with a sense of relief and a sense of accomplishment．About two weeks later I actually landed the job．It was a challenging job，but I grew to enjoy it greatly．I began to feel comfortable talking to people．
     Although I now spend many hours each week talking with people，I'm still basically a quiet person．Perhaps it is my soft voice and my quiet nature that helps draw people out as they respond to my questions as I interview them．My former shyness is a fortune，as I can relate to people who feel discomfortable when they talk to newspaper reporters．I still enjoy moments of loneliness and the peace found in nature．But I'm also glad I decided to make a change in my life that has opened many doors and opportunities that I never knew existed．

  A．She didn't like reading．
