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 farmers dog that had broken its leg. At the age of 16, she began to read a lot of nursing(護理) books she had bought. She visited hospitals in Landon and other places.Her parents didnt want her to work in those “dirty” hospitals, but she was determined. She finally left home and went for Kaiserwerth Hospital in Germany (德國) 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(克里米亞戰爭), she was put in charge of(負責) nursing. She went to the battlefield(戰場) with 38 nurses. The hospital was a huge, dirty building. She got men to clean it up and managed to get the supplies(供給) 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.(意見)During the Civil War(美國南北戰爭), 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(代謝)(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。Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(電磁輻射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. “This study does not in any way indicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures。” Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1980s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide。Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkows team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on。Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. “ Although the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. “Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects?！?They wrote。61.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Harmful? B.Cell Phone Radiati0n: Is It Useful?C.Cell Phone Radiation: Is It Healthy?

Some of the customers looked at them and thought, “Look, there is a couple who have been through a lot together, probably(可能) for 60 years or more.”The little old man walked right up to the cash register(收銀機), placed his order(點菜) with no hesitation(猶豫) and then paid for their meal. There was one hamburger(漢堡包), one order of French fries(炸薯條) and one drink. After sitting at a table near the back wall, the little old man carefully cut the hamburger in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the French fries, divided(分開) them in two piles(堆) and placed one pile in front of his wife.As the man began to eat his few bites(幾口) of hamburger, one young man came over to the old couples table. He politely(有禮貌的) offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. The old man replied that they were used to sharing everything.Then the crowd noticed(注意到) that the little old lady hadnt eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and sometimes taking turns(輪流) drinking a little bit.Again the young man came over and begged(請求) them to let him buy them something to eat. This time the little old lady explained that they were used to sharing everything together.As the little old man finished eating, the young man could stand(忍受) it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy some food.After being politely refused again, he finally asked a question to the little old lady, “Maam, why arent you eating? You said that you share everything. What is it that you are waiting for?”She answered, “The teeth. I cant eat without the false teeth(假牙) that my husband was using”.66. How many times did the young man offer to b
