    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 s"rvived.
    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.

    Nightingale played a great role in
    A:the building of war hospitals.
    B:the education of women.
    C:the development of nursing.

    Women have contributed richly to the achievements of science and engineering in the United States.As pointed out by the National Women's History Project,it is unfortunate that many of these accomplishments have been forgotten,ignored,and even hidden as a result of cultural and social norms.In recent years,there have seen great strides in recognizing the contributions of women in all fields of study.The National Women's History Project,founded in 1980,has been one of the organizations to lead the way.It is an educational nonprofit organization whose mission is to recognize and celebrate the diverse and historic achievements of inventive women.Each year,the National Women's History Project selects women to honor them. Sometimes these honorees paved the way as pioneers;other times they built on the knowledge and work of those who came before them. They are women who advanced our medical science,thrilled us with literature,inspired us with their courage and leadership,and moved us with their art.

    Which of the following about the National Women's History Project is not right?
    A:It is a nonprofit organization.
    B:It is to recognize various contributions of creative women.

    Medical Education

    In 18th-century colonial America,those who wanted to become physicians either
    learned as personal students from established professionals or went abroad to study in the
    traditional schools of London,Paris, and Edinburgh.Medicine was first taught formally by
    specialists at the University of Pennsylvania,beginning in 1765,and in 1767 at King's
    College(now Columbia University),the first institution in the colonies to give the degree of
    doctor of medicine.Following the American Revolution,the Columbia medical faculty
    (formerly of King's College)was combined with the College of Physicians and Surgeons,
    chartered in 1809,which survives as a division of Columbia University.
    In 1893 the Johns Hopkins Medical School required all applicants to have a college
    degree and was the first to afford its students the opportunity to further their training in an
    attached teaching hospita'.The growth of medical schools attached with established
    institutions of earning went together with the development of proprietary(私营的)schools of
    medicine run for personal profit,most of which had low standards and poor facilities.In
    1910 Abraham Rexner,the American education reformer,wrote Medical Education in the
    United States and Canada,exposing the poor conditions of most proprietary schools.
    Subsequently,the American Medical Association(AMA)and the Association of American
    Medical Coleges(AAMC) laid down standards for course content,qualifications of
    teachers,laboratory facilities,connection with teaching hospitals,and licensing of medical
    practitioners(开业医师)that survive to this day.
    By the late 1980s the U.S. and Canada had 142 4-year medical colleges recognized by
    the Liaison(联络)Committee on Medical Education to offer the M. a degree ; during the
    1987-88 academic year,47,262 men and 25,686 women entered these colleges and an
    estimated 11,752 men and 5,958 women were graduated.Graduates,after a year of
    internship(实习期),receive licenses to practice if they pass an examination given either by
    a state board or by the Nafional Board of Medical Examiners.

    In l8th-century America,higher institutions of learning that taught medicine
    A:did not exist.
    B:were few in number.
    C:were better than those in Europe.
    D:were known for thei:teaching hospitals.

    Women are also underrepresented in the administration and this is because there are so few women full professors. In 1985,Regent Beryl Milburn produced a report blasting(轰动)the University of Texas System administration for not encouraging women.The University was rated认为 among the lowest for the system.In a 1987 update ,Milburn commended the progress that was made and called for even more improvement. One of the positive results from her study was a System-wide program to inform women of available administrative jobs. College of Communication Associate Dean Patrica Witherspoon,said it is important that woman be flexible when it comesto relocating if they want to rise in the ranks. Although a woman may face a chilly climate on campus , many times in order for her to succeed , she must rise above the problems around her and concentrate on her work. Until women make up a greater percentage of the senior positions in the University and all academia,inequities will exist存在. "Women need to spend their energies(精力energy) and time doing scholarly activities that are important here at the University." Spirduso said. "If they do that will be successful in this system.If they spend their time in little groups mourning the sexual discrimination that they think exists here, they are wasting valuable study time."

    Women have contributed richly to the achievements of science and engineering in the United States.As pointed out by the National Women's History Project,it is unfortunate that many of these accomplishments have been forgotten,ignored,and even hidden as a result of cultural and social norms.In recent years,there have seen great strides in recognizing the contributions of women in all fields of study.The National Women's History Project,founded in 1980,has been one of the organizations to lead the way.It is an educational nonprofit organization whose mission is to recognize and celebrate the diverse and historic achievements of inventive women.Each year,the National Women's History Project selects women to honor them.
