Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.

　　As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.

　　At last her mind was made up.“I'm going to be a nurse,”she decided.

　　“Nursing isn't the right work for a lady,”her father told her.

　　“Then I will make it so,”she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home. During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty-eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen-- and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work.

　　Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying sol. diers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.

　　After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.

　　Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. In-deed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.

閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文，掌握其大意，然后從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C、D）中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　When she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog. Her body was numb(麻木的). She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours. Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. Now, at age 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast.

　　On that fourth of July morning in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so thick that she could hardly see her support boats. Sharks swam toward her lone figure, only to be driven away by rifle shots. Against the frigid grip of the sea, she struggled on--hour after hour-while millions watched on national television.

　　Alongside Florence in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasn't much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to give up．She never had…, until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out.

　　Still thawing(使變暖和) her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter,“Look, I'm not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it.”It was not fatigue or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal.

　　Two months later, she tried again. This time, despite the same dense fog, she swam with her faith intact (完整無損的) and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it! Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel, eclipsing(超越) the men's record by two hours!

1．Why didn't Florence swim across the Catalina Channel for the first time?

[　　]

A．Because she was too tired to go on swimming.

B．Because the fog was so thick that she couldn't see her support boats clearly.

C．Because she couldn't see the goal on land.

D．Because the sea water was too cold.

2．What does the underlined sentence mean?

[　　]

A．She had never been so hopeless.

B．She had never thought of giving up.

C．She had never seen such a thick fog.

D．She had never swum across the Channel before.

3．Which of the following is NOT true?

[　　]

A．Florence Chadwick spent less time swimming across the Catalina Channel than men.

B．Florence Chadwick succeeded in swimming across the Catalina Channel in September, 1952.

C．People had to use guns to drive away some fresheating animals in the sea.

D．No women but Florence Chadwick were able to swim the English Channel in both directions.
