　　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.

(1)When she was a child, Florence ________.

[　　]

A．loved to travel very much

　　Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building．

　　She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill．“I would have liked to go back to it, but the shifts(工作班次)are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school．”

　　So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m.till 6 a.m.five nights a week for just ￡90, before tax and insurance．“It's better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work ‘unsocial hours' should get a bit extra．”

　　The hours she's chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband．However, she doesn't think that puts any pressure on their relationship．

　　Her work isn't physically very hard, but it's not exactly pleasant, either．“I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs．If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they'd be a bit more careful．”

　　The fact that she's working all night doesn't worry Margaret at all．Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three．“Since I've got to be here, I try to enjoy myself——and I usually do, because of the other girls．We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags．”

　　Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living．“They think you're a cleaner because you don't know how to read and write,”said Margaret,“I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I'd been doing, but I don't think that way any more．I don't dislike the work though I can't say I'm mad about it．”

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general．Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?

Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian（百姓的）clothes．People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform．The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes．Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform．What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform?

　　Uniforms also have many practical benefits．They save on other clothes．They save on laundry bills．They are tax-deductible（可减税的）．They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.

　　Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them．Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement．When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.

　　Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems．Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes．Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.

It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______.

　 A．still judge a man by his clothes

　 B．hold the uniform in such high regard

　 C．enjoy having a professional identity

　 D．will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform

People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______.

　 A．suggests quality work

　 B．discards his social identity

　 C．appears to be more practical

　 D．looks superior to a person in civilian clothes

The chief function of a uniform is to _______.

　 A．provide practical benefits to the wearer

　 B．make the wearer catch the public eye

C．inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself

　 D．provide the wearer with a professional identity

The best title for this passage would be _______.

　 A．Uniforms and Society

　 B．The Importance of Wearing a Uniform

　 C．Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform

　 D．Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms
