“Lizzie, there’s a letter for you!” Emily called up the stairs to her sister. Lizzie looked down. “Is it from Harvard? They refused my application(申请)once.” Emily answered, “No, it’s from Yale.” Quickly, Lizzie walked downstairs. She took the letter and opened it. “Rejected again,” Lizzie said unhappily. “Who says women can’t be doctors?”

  “They are fools not to accept you. You can’t let them stop you, Lizzie,” Emily said.

“I won’t. I’ll apply to Geneva Medical College,” Lizzie told her sister. As it turned out, the professors at Geneva Medical College were not fools. They allowed Lizzie Blackwell to study medicine.

In 1848, a year before Lizzie would graduate, a typhoid epidemic (伤寒流行病) broke out in New York. Lizzie wrote to Emily. “There’s an outbreak (爆发) of typhoid, and I am going to help. It is dangerous, so if I die, please do me the honor of studying medicine yourself.”

Emily replied, “Encouraged by your dream and success, I have decided to study in medical school, as well.”

Having survived the disease, Lizzie tried to set up a private medical practice. “I graduated first in my class but no one believes a woman can be a good doctor,” she said to Emily one day. “All I hear is that doctors should be men, while women should stay home to cook and clean.”

Emily said worriedly, “I will graduate in June with my medical degree. What shall we do?” Lizzie thought for a while and replied, “There’s a big house in the poor part of our town. We can provide medicine there for people who couldn’t afford care.”

Soon with the help of some friends, Lizzie and Emily bought the house and opened a hospital for poor women and children. “We’ll have an all-women staff (员工),” Lizzie said. “And later, we’ll set up a medical college for women!” Emily added. At last, Lizzie realized her dream of being a doctor.

46. Which of the following can be used in place of the underlined word “Rejected”?

A. Refused.         B. Praised           C. Changed.         D. Accepted.

47. How did Emily feel when she heard Lizzie’s words about the letter from Yale?

A. Excited.          B. Happy.           C. Satisfied.         D. Angry.

48. Who thought women could be doctors according to the passage?

A. Professors at Harvard.                 B. Professors at Yale.

    April F'ool's Day is on the first day of April. The sport of the holiday is
to play silly but harmless jokes on family members, co-workers, and  friends.
A victim(受害者)of one of these pranks(恶作剧) is called an April
fool.  If one succeeds in tricking someone, one laughs and says "April Fool", and then the person who has been tricked usually laughs, too. This holiday
originated(起源)in France. When the French first adopted(采用)the
Gregorian calendar(日历)in 1564, some people continued to use the old
calendar to celebrate New Year's Day on April lst. These people were called April Fools. The custom of playing tricks on this day became popular in
France and then spread to many other countries. Here are some typical
pranks:
    Telling somebody to call the zoo and speak to Mr Fox.
    Putting salt in the sugar bowl.
    Setting the clock back an hour.
    Saying to friends, "Oh, my God! You have four holes in your coat-button
holes!"
    Tying a string to a wallet and leaving the wallet in the middle of the side
walk. When someone stops to pick it up, the pranker yanks(猛拉)it out
of reach.  In the United States today, April Fool's jokes are mostly played
by children, who enjoy the holiday very much.

Mr. Gregory Gale is one of the few people in England who are 100 years old. On the day of his birthday, he played a game of tennis and went for a long walk. A few days later a radio reporter came to his house and asked him if he had any “secrets of long life”. This is what Mr. Gale said, “No, I don’t know any secrets like that, but there are a few simple rules of good life. I’ve always kept them all my life. The first is this: Don’t listen to those fools who tell you to give up all the pleasures of life! The second is to enjoy all the pleasures of life in moderation(节制). For example, I’ve always smoked a few good cigars every day. Not many, mind you! Only two or three! I’ve always also drunk a little good wine with my meals, perhaps two or three glasses. The third rule is to take a little exercise every day. I’ve taken a little and on Saturdays I’ve played a little tennis or golf.”
