　　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 for women.

　　During the Crimean War in 1819．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 nurses went to work.

　　Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicines and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman. After war she returned to England and was honoured 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. Indeed, it is because of her that we honour nurses today.

  Lakeland, Flo. April 29--Two cars fell to the bottom of a 30-foot sinkhole（灰岩坑）that appeared so suddenly that the drivers could not avoid it.

　　No one was hurt, but the incident was the fifteenth of its kind reported in this area so far this year.

　　At a town 13 miles from Lakeland, two bedrooms of one house dropped into a hole 60 feet across and 35 feet deep. Part of the next house was dangerous over the hole. The people in both houses had to be taken to safety.

　　Sinkholes have been happening without warning in this part of Florida for years. So far there is no way to predict（预言）when or where one will appear. But when one does, others usually follow in the same area, usually along a straight line.

　　The worst sinkhole appeared in 1965. It was 70 feet across and 150 feet deep. It destroyed one house and damaged several others.

　　One hole, 15 feet deep, opened up this year in the middle of a highway 19 seconds after a car had driven by. Others in the same area happened at night, damaging houses, swallowing up trees and parts of streets and causing 23 frightened people to run away from their homes in nightclothes.

　　Sinkholes happen when the weather is very dry. The earth at the surface begins to drop into holes underneath. This is how a sinkhole is formed.

（1）Sinkholes do not happen

[　　]

A. after a rainstorm
