Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when
she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That
was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing
many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she wa
s finally accepted by
a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music
lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.
In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in
Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to
give up the idea.
Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because
she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another
woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides
being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first
medical school for women.

| World' s Amazing Festivals El Colacho: The Baby-Jumping Festival In this festival, grown men jump over newborns, with their parents' permission. Wearing scary costumes, the Spanish men attempt to "clean" babies of evil. The town has observed the strange practice since 1620, and any onlookers (旁观者) who seem to be in need of a quick exorcism(~) are pulled into the event, as well. Hadakamatsuri : The Naked (裸露的) Festival This is a Japanese festival where participants wear little clothing. Naked Festivals are held in dozens of places throughout Japan every year, usually in summer or winter. Hidden somewhere in these men is one fully naked man. Touching him is believed to bring good luck. The Monkey Buffet (自助餐) Festival Every year, about 600 monkeys are invited to eat fruits and vegetables during an annual feast in Thailand. It is held in honour Rama, the greatest of the gods. It is said that Rama once rewarded his friend Hanuman, the Monkey King, with some land. Organizers of the annual Monkey Bullet use more than 3,000kg of fruits and vegetables to prepare for the festival. The Cheese Rolling Festival This event is held in England. Though it might sound very gentle, cheese-rolling is actually very dangerous. Running down a very steep hill behind a 7-pound wheel of cheese can be very dangerous. In fact, the police have attempted to ban the event, but participants have refused to carry out the ban. Men and their cheese wheels cannot be separated so easily. So what happens during a cheese roll? Simple: The cheese is set rolling down the hill, and the racers run down the hill after the cheese. However, as the cheese can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, it rarely happens that someone catches the cheese. The first to reach the bottom wins the cheese.
