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.

单选题{{B}}第三篇{{/B}} Wayne Beno "Wayne Beno was a true outdoorsman. Fishing, boating, hunting, walking through the woods with his three dogs, Wayne loved and did it all. Then life changed dramatically. Wayne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (帕金森氏病). "For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day, had horrible side effects, and even with all those pills I still had lots of shaking and tremors(颤抖). I only went out during peak times, when I was looking and feeling my best. But that wasn't often and I really couldn't do much of anything. I felt like the fife I loved was over," said Wayne. Then Wayne's doctor in Green Bay suggested he consider a breakthrough surgical option being offered at Froedtert the Medical College of Wisconsin. His friend's experience convinced Wayne that the 180-mile trip from his home in Crivitz, Wisconsin could be well worth the effort. And was it ever. "It was the best thing I ever did. I'm down to zero pills a day and I don't shake at all," reports Wayne. "Before the surgery, I felt bad every single day. Now I feel like my old self. I'm back to business as usual, which for me means fishing, fishing, and more fishing, every day of the year. Things just couldn't be any better!"

单选题What Is Anthrax (炭疽)? There"s been a lot of talk about anthrax on the news lately. Some people are worried that anthrax may be connected to terrorist attacks or that terrorists may spread the germ that 1 the disease. Federal officials and police are investigating this and taking 2 to protect us. In the meantime, it"s important not to panic over anthrax. The chances that you and your family 3 at risk are very tiny. One of the ways you can feel better is to learn about anthrax. When you know what it is and 4 you can get it, it doesn"t seem quite as scary. So, what 5 is anthrax? Here are the facts on anthrax: Anthrax is a bacterial infection caused by a germ. Although it"s most common in farm 6 , like sheep, cows, pigs, horses, and goats, there"s a very small chance that people can get it, too. Anthrax spores (孢子) (a version of the germ in a protective shell that can live in the soil for years) cause the disease. People may get anthrax if they are exposed to anthrax 7 . But here"s the important part: just being exposed to these spores doesn"t mean that a person will get 8 . For a person to get sick, he would have to breathe in thousands of these spores all the way into his 9 . Or he"d have to eat meat contaminated with anthrax or handle 10 that has anthrax spores. This may sound scary, but even when a person comes 11 contact with the spores, it"s unlikely that he"ll get sick. 12 the bacteria do not get into the skin, digestive tract, or lung, the disease won"t develop. Anthrax is not spread from person to person the way the flu can spread from family member to 13 member or classmate to classmate. Anthrax can almost always be successfully treated with antibiotics (抗生素). Anthrax is very rare. Until recently anthrax wasn"t even talked about because it was so rare — and it still 14 ! Even with all of the anthrax cases you are hearing about right now, a person"s chances of getting anthrax are about the 15 as they were before you heard about anthrax on the news — very, very low.

单选题{{B}}第二篇{{/B}} {{B}}Sleeplessness{{/B}} Insomnia or sleeplessness is a common complaint of women as they enter into menopause. Insomnia means having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep or the feeling that your sleep was not adequate for you. For women who are having night sweats, their sleep is broken by frequent awakening and therefore not refreshing. Generally once the night sweats are controlled a normal sleep pattern returns. If it doesn't it may be, or have become chronic insomnia. How do you know? If you suffer from insomnia every night or most nights for a period of one month then you have chronic insomnia. If you're not having night sweats then it's time to look for other causes of sleeplessness. Depression and anxiety disorders are the most common causes of chronic insomnia. If you feel depressed you need to be checked by a qualified health care provider. Movement disorders such as restless leg syndrome are second on the list of insomnia for them; there are new medicines that may help. Other common causes are shift working, and pain. In up to 30% of people with chronic insomnia no cause can be identified. Medical treatment of these people has generally been with sleeping pills. It is estimated that 25% of the adult population in America took some type of medicines for sleep last year. It is generally agreed that sleeping pills should only be in the lowest dose and for the shortest possible time. Sleep hygiene is directed at changing bad sleep habits. The recommendations are: —Go to bed only when sleepy. —Do not wait up to a specified time. —Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the evening, etc.
