Going Her Own Way

When she was twelve,Maria made her first important decision about the course of her life.She decided
that she wanted to continue her education.Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay at home after
primary school,though some attended private Catholic"finishing"schools.There they learned a little about
music,art,needlework,and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested
Maria-or her mother. By this time,she had begun to take her studies more seriously.She read constantly
and brought her books everywhere.One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study
in the dark.
Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way.That meant attending the public high
school,something that very few girls did.In Italy at the time,there were two types of high schools:the
"classical"schools and the"technical"schools. In the classical schools,the students followed a very tradi-
tional program of studies,with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature,and Italian literature and
history. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.
Maria,however,wanted to attend a technical school.The technical schools were more modern than the
classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages,mathematics,science,and accounting. Most
people一including Maria's father一believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects.
Furthermore,they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.
Maria did not care if it was proper or not.Math and science were the subjects that interested her most.
But before she could sign up for the technical school,she had to win her father's approval. She finally did,
with her mother's help,though for many years after,there was tension in the family. Maria's father continued to
oppose her plans,while her mother helped her.
In 1883,at age thirteen,Maria entered the"Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti"in Rome.
Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine.Though the courses included modern subjects,the
teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating
them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way.
Teachers were very demanding;discipline in the classroom was strict;punishment was severe for those who
failed to achieve or were disobedient.

Maria's father probably__________.
A:had very modern views about women
B:had traditional views about women
C:had no opinion about women
D:thought women could not learn Latin

Florence Nightingale

Florence Nightingale was born in Florence,Italy,while her wealthy English parents
were traveling in Europe.As a child,she traveled to many places with her family and
learned how to speak several languages.
When Nightingale was 17,she told her family that she was going to help sick people.
Her parents did not approve,but Nightingale was determined.
She traveled to hospitals all over Europe.She saw that doctors were working too hard.
She saw that patients died because they did not get enough care.Nightingale felt that
women could be doing more to help doctors take care of sick people.
Nightingale knew that in order for nurses to do more,they needed special training in
how to take care of sick people.Nightingale went to a hospital in Germany to study nursing.
Then she returned to London and became the head of a group of women called
Gentlewomen During Illness.These women cared for sick people in their homes.
In 1854,England was fighting a war with Russia.War reporters wrote about the
terrible conditions in the hospitals that cared for the wounded.People demanded that
something be done about it.A leader of the government asked Florence Nightingale to take
some nurses into the war hospitals.So,in November 1854,Nightingale finally got to work
in a hospital.
She took along 38 nurses whom she had trained herself.
At first,the doctors on the battlefields did not want Nightingale and her nurses in their
hospitals.They did not believe that women could help.But in fact,the nurses did make a
difference.They worked around the clock,tending the sick.Thanks to their hard work,
many wounded soldiers survived.
After the war,Nightingale and her nurses were treated like heroes.Finally,in 1860,
she started the Nightingale School for Nurses.In time,thanks to Florence Nightingale,
nursing became an important part of medicine.

It was not until the war with Russia that Nightingale
A:got to work in a hospital.
B:began to study nursing.
C:started to care for sick people in their homes.
D:became the head of Gentlewomen During Illness.
