Reading comprehensionPassage OneFlorence Nightingale was the daughter of a rich family in England. Her parents wanted her to become a person of high social class, but Florence had other plans.By the time she was 12, she was determined to “do something worthwhile(值得做的)”. She liked books. She enjoyed caring for the sick farmers. Once she even saved the life of an old farmer’s dog that had broken its leg.At the age of 16, she began to read a lot of nursing(护理) books she had bought. She visited hospitals in Landon and other places.Her parents didn’t want her to work in those “dirty” hospitals, but she was determined. She finally left home and went for Kaiserwerth Hospital in Germany (德国) to study.She was an excellent student, and after her graduation, she returned to London and got a job running a hospital.During the Crimean War(克里米亚战争), she was put in charge of(负责) nursing. She went to the battlefield(战场) with 38 nurses. The hospital was a huge, dirty building. She got men to clean it up and managed to get the supplies(供给) they needed.She carried a lamp as she walked the halls of the battlefield hospital and became known as the “lady with the lamp.”She saved thousands of lives. People called her an angle(天使) in the hospital, but she herself became ill with a disease she got there.In her later years she was not able to travel, but people came to her from all over the world for her advice.(意见)During the Civil War(美国南北战争), the United States asked her advice about setting up military hospitals.She became known as the founder of modern nursing.56.

But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖)metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,” said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals。
