Edith Cavell was born in a little English village. She was a clever,hard-working girl and did well at school,especially in music and French. After she left school? her first job was to take care of the children of a rich family in Belgium (比利时) . The language they spoke was French,so she found that her school studies were useful.

After hearing that her father was seriously ill,Edith returned home to look after him. She then decided to become a nurse. Afterwards for five years she worked in an English hospital where she proved to be highly professional at her job.

The First World War broke out in 1914 and Edith Cavell ’ s school of nursing became a hospital. She stayed there to look after the sick and wounded soldiers. Edith treated them with kindness. Between November 1914 and August 1915 she secretly helped about 200 wounded soldiers and prisoners (囚犯) escape from the Germans.

Ⅱ.阅读理解阅读下面的短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade of year. You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read fast.

Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.

Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions.

(1 ) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?

(2) Do you point to words with your finger (手指) as you read?

(3) Do you move your head from side to side as you read?

(4) Do you read one word at a time?

If you answer “yes” to any of these questions,start at once to break the habit. If you move your lips ? hold your fingers over them ? or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move ? you will know it and can stop them.

If you point to words ? hold the two sides of your book ? one side with your left hand ? the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head,place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的) .

If you read no more than one or two words at a time,you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance (—瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.

Even if you do rather fast now ? you can learn to read even faster. As you probably have been told ? the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in thought groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practises doing these things will be able to read faster.

A. to tell others to be silent
