题目内容
The youngest of five children in a poor family, Clara Barton was born on Christmas Day 1821 in Oxford. Before the Civil War, Clara’s most famous achievement (成就) was the establishment (建立) of a free public school in New Jersey. Her only medical experience before the war was when she cared for her sick brother for ten months.
During the war, Clara soon devoted herself to saving the wounded soldiers who needed medical supplies. Because of her successful operation, she was praised by the U.S. general, William Hammond, and was allowed to travel with army ambulances.
For the next three years, Clara traveled along with the army operations throughout Virginia and South Carolina. In addition, she also formed a program at Camp Parole, where she attempted to find any soldier who was missing in the war.
Upon the war’s end in 1865, Clara set up an information center to aid in locating missing soldiers. Meanwhile, she made lectures quite frequently, and as a result of exhaustion (筋疲力尽), three years later in 1868, she suffered a breakdown and went to Switzerland to recover. Clara Barton was truly a great American who devoted her life to human beings.
