PART 1
Trang 3I am sometimes amazed at my own children, the way they get angry if they have to do the dishes twice in one week, the way they act over small bumps and cuts As a mum, I’ve had to teach myself to admire bloody baby teeth and clean the dirt from scraped knees However, in my mind, my mother’s voice and that of my grandmother still come into my head “Oh for goodness sake, you aren’t hurt!” they used to say For a moment, I want to tell this new generation about
my little brother calmly spitting out a handful of tooth pieces and going back in to grab the biggest cow in the barn I want to tell my children how tough I was, falling asleep at the table with hands so sore that I couldn’t hold a fork, or about their grandmother, who cut off three of her fingers on a piece of farm equipment but finished the job before she came in
to get help For a moment, I’m terrified I’ll make a mistake and tell them to get tough
Like my parents and grandparents, I was born and trained to live on a farm I could rope horses and ride a tractor as well as my brother, but being female, I also learned to bake bread and can vegetables, and keep my opinions to myself when others were talking When an unmarried neighbour asked me out when I was fifteen, my parents were proud and hopeful Though he was twelve years older than I was, his other numbers were very promising He and his father had over fifteen hundred cows on 36,000 acres of land

THE L ady WITH THE L amp
Less than 200 years ago, most hospitals were dirty and unhealthy places Then, one person changed everything Florence Nightingale was the first great nurse of the world She changed nursing into a respected profession, and she set standards for clean, safe hospitals all over the world Her picture hangs on the walls of many hospitals
When Florence was twelve years old, she decided she wanted to do something useful with her life She enjoyed visiting sick people in the neighbourhood
Florence was very special because most Victorian middle-class women didn’t have careers, but Florence wanted to become
a nurse Her parents wanted her to get married, but their disapproval didn’t stop her from doing what she wanted
Florence went to Germany to learn about nursing At that time, nurses learned through experience, not through training Florence looked after sick people, gave them medicine and helped during operations
In 1854, Britain entered the Crimean War Florence and a team of 38 nurses went to the Crimea to help the wounded soldiers The military hospitals were dirty and badly organized Florence made the hospitals clean and safe The number of deaths in hospitals went down from 40% to 2%
Florence was kind and gentle with the soldiers She talked to them and gave them hope When she walked around the hospital at night, she carried a lamp and that’s how she got the title ‘The Lady with the Lamp’
After the war, Florence wrote a book explaining how to make hospitals better People from all over the world asked for her advice on designing hospitals
Florence thought that nurses should learn through both experience and training In 1860, she opened her training school for nurses Today, the Nightingale Nurses still care for the sick and the poor
Florence died on 13th
August 1910 in London She was 90 years old On her gravestone, it says “F N Born 1820 Died 1910.” She didn’t want any other memorial
11 Florence Nightingale used to clean hospitals

13 Florence Nightingale was not like other women of her time
14 Her parents were happy that she wanted to be a nurse

Just then she heard something splashing about, and she swam closer to see what it was At first,she thought it was a walrus or hippopotamus, but then she remembered how small she was now, andshe soon saw that it was only a mouse that had fallen in like herself
“Should I,” thought Alice, “speak to this mouse?

a mouse – a mouse – O mouse!”) The mouse looked at her curiously, and seemed to wink at herwith one of its little eyes, but it said nothing “Perhaps it doesn’t understand English,” thought Alice;
so she began again: “Ou est ma chatte?” (Where is my cat?) which was the first sentence in herFrench lesson-book The mouse suddenly jumped out of the water and started to shake with fright
