The Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the world, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren.  According to some people, she lived in Boston,  and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719. However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story—and doubt, moreover, whether Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’Oye”. In 1695 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used.  The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty”,  “Cinderella”,  and “Puss in Boots”. But Perrault did not originate these stories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them. In 1729 there appeared an English translation of Perrault’s collection, Robert Samber’s Histories or Tales of Past Times, Told by Mother Goose(London, 1729),  which introduced “Sleeping Beauty”,  “Little Red-hood”, “Puss in Boots”, “Cinderella” and other Perrault’s tales to English-speaking audiences. These were fairy tales(童话). John Newbery published a book of English rhymes，Mother Goose’s Melody, or Sonnets for the Cradle(London,  undated, 1765),  which switched the focus from fairy tales to nursery rhymes, and in English this was until recently the primary meaning for Mother Goose. A book of poems for children entitled Mother Goose’s Melody was published in England in 1781, and the name “Mother Goose” has been associated with children’s poetry ever since.

56. What is supposed to have happened in 1719?

A. Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories.

B. The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French.

C. Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories.

D. Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories.

57. Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be_______ .

A. a real person

B. a translation from French

C. a collection by Elizabeth Vergoose

D. a book written by a little old woman

58. When Perrault published the first book in 1695,_______.

A. no story of the book had been known to people

B. the stories in the book were created by Perrault

C. few people were interested in the stories of the book

D. stories like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” were already very popular

．Elizabeth had great trouble in finding a school to attend. No medical school would accept a woman student. So she studied by herself at first. She was helped by a few doctors who did believe that women should have the same chance to work as men did.

In 1847 she asked to be accepted at a small medical school in New York. Largely as a joke, the school accepted her. The teachers and students were all men. They waited for Elizabeth to make a fool on herself and then go away. But Elizabeth felt she could learn anything a man could learn. And she proved it. No one laughed at her. The jokes stopped. But none of the town-people would speak to her. They thought she was wrong to study medicine.

As a student, Elizabeth helped treat sick poor people during her summer holidays. She found out that she had much more to learn as she tried to help them. "I must learn more." She said. "There is so much work to be done among the sick. Somehow I must get other women to help me!"
