四、John介绍了明代著名医学家李时珍，一起来了解吧！阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容，完成表格中所缺信息。
Li Shizhen, the sage(圣贤) of medicine and herbs(药草), played an important role in developing and spreading TCM(中医) in Chinese history.
Li was born in 1518 in Hubei. Both his grandfather and father were doctors. When he was very young, Li went to the mountains with his father to pick herbs. He gained wide knowledge about animals, plants and medicine while growing up.
His father hoped that he could get a government job by passing the Imperial Examination(科举考试), but he failed after a few attempts. He then focused on the study of medical science. In 1551, Li became famous for curing the prince's son. Five years later, he was invited to work at the Imperial Medical Bureau(太医院). During that time, he read many ancient medical texts, and discovered several mistakes in them. To deal with it, he decided to leave his job and write a book about herbs.
After that, Li travelled far and wide to collect herbs and talk with old peasants(农民). He also read hundreds of medical books. After twenty-seven years of research, Li Shizhen completed the first draft(初稿) of the masterpiece(杰作), Bencao Gangmu. He kept polishing the work until his death. The book has recorded over 1,800 types of medical herbs. It is a great work of medicine and an international classic for the study of TCM. It has also been translated into many languages and read not only in China but also in many other countries.

1. Learned / Gained 2. failure 3. thirty-eight / 38 4. in China 5. abroad (4和5空顺序可互换，语义相近的合理答案也可)

我们对照短文内容逐一推导空缺处信息：
1. 短文第二段提到李时珍小时候常和父亲进山采药，成长过程中积累了大量动植物和医药相关的知识，对应表格里童年时期了解很多草药相关内容，此处填动词过去式即可。
2. 短文第三段提到李时珍的父亲希望他通过科举入朝，但他多次尝试都落榜了，之后才专心研究医学，the后面需要接名词，表示"失败"。
3. 短文给出李时珍1518年出生，1551年因治愈王子的儿子出名，5年后进入太医院工作，计算得1556-1518=38，即他38岁时进入太医院。
4、5. 短文最后一段提到《本草纲目》被翻译成多国语言，不仅在中国流传，也在很多其他国家流传，所以它在国内和海外都有巨大影响力。
