A
Elizabeth Blackwell was born on February 3, 1821 in England. While she was growing up, two of her brothers and six of her sisters died. Elizabeth decided to become a doctor.
Her father was a sugar businessman. He encouraged equality (平等) between boys and girls so, unlike most girls, Elizabeth had the same education as boys.
One night, when Elizabeth was eleven, a fire destroyed her family’s business. The family became so poor that Mr. Blackwell decided to go to America. When the family reached New York, Mr. Blackwell tried to start a new business, but failed. In 1837, he died.
After being refused several times by medical schools, Elizabeth was finally accepted by Geneva Medical College in New York, largely as a joke. People there thought she was indecent (下流的 ) and asked her to leave. But with great determination, Elizabeth graduated with high honors. After graduation, Elizabeth went to Paris to learn more about medicine. Elizabeth returned to America in 1851. There she helped other women become doctors and opened a medicine store. Then, she begged her rich friends to give money to build a hospital.
Elizabeth’s dream came true in 1857 when the New York Infirmary For Women and Children opened its doors. It was the first true hospital for women, run by women doctors in the world. In 1868, the hospital opened a medical college for women. After that, Elizabeth received a letter from Europe asking her to come to her homeland and do for the women of Europe what she had done in America. She returned to England in 1869. There she served for forty years, which made her a hero.

Neighbors play an important role in our lives. Their lifestyle, friends, and social habits can have a strong influence on our lives. So it’s a good idea to get along well with neighbors and build a better relationship that will last for many years to come. But how should you get along with your neighbors?
When you hear of a special need you can meet, do it, such as sitting with a sick child while your neighbor goes to work or taking an elderly parent to a doctor’s appointment when their car won’t start.
If you hear that someone close by is ill, has an accident, or is out of work, give him or her a hot meal or a fresh dessert(甜点). Your kindness will add a special feeling during a difficult time. If your neighbor is cutting down a tree or building a doghouse, offer helping hands to him or her. There is no better way to build relationships. Besides, you never know when the favor might be returned.
Exchange holiday cards, gifts or traditions. Invite your neighbors over for a cup of coffee or lunch. A backyard barbecue can be a great way to share food and fun. If they’ve watched your kids grow up or been concerned about your family events, they may want to share these special events.
Plan a party. Invite all your neighbors to your party. Planning and carrying out the activity helps everyone to know and understand each other.
Your neighbors are like your family in many ways since you have to live with them, or near them for a long time. Appreciate their strong points and ignore weak points, and everyone will get along well.

I was shopping in the local market on a Thursday morning. I dropped my car off earlier a few blocks away at a garage to get my car’s tire changed.
After one hour of shopping, I reached in my purse for my iPhone. But… no phone!! The zipper(拉链)wasn’t zipped on my purse. Perhaps it fell out and got picked up by someone. I went around to all the venders (小贩) I visited, asking if they had seen a pink phone. The answers were “No”.
I thought carefully and remembered that the last time I used it was when I was at the garage. That was where it must be. So I put my shopping bag into a locker in the market and decided to return to the garage. Just then I saw an old lady walking slowly with heavy bags in both her hands. I asked her if I could give her a hand. She handed me a bag and we walked. We talked a little during our walk. She said she would go home by bus. As we came to a street corner we walked in the opposite direction of the garage. But I didn’t stop to go to the garage. I only cared about the old woman. After several blocks we came to the bus stop. As I put her bag down, she thanked me again and again.
After the bus went away, I ran back to the garage. I asked, as the repairman handed me my key, if anyone happened to see a pink phone.
“Sorry, we didn’t,” he said.
Disappointed, I walked to my car and unlocked the door. To my great surprise, my lovely pink was just on one of the chairs.

Beauty is only skin deep. This expression means that beauty is only a surface quality. And some beauty products can cause lasting damage that goes far below the surface of the skin. But people, especially women, will risk a lot for beauty.
In the United States, many people use sunlight or non-natural light to darken their skin. But in the African country of Senegal（塞内加尔）, lots of women take health risks trying to do the opposite.
The World Health Organization says that 25 percent of Senegalese women use skin-lightening products on a usual basis. These products can have chemicals (化学药品) which can burn the eyes and skin and possibly cause cancers.
A beauty supply shop in Dakar has many kinds of skin-lightening products. The shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise fast results but bring more damage. She says that some women want to lighten their skin every day. But for her, she likes to be a shade of brown.
Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reasons women all over the world make changes to their appearance. They want to look beautiful, to find a husband, to stand out in a crowd or to simply look great for a special event.
This thinking troubles Senegalese filmmaker Khardiata Pouye Sall. So she made This Color That Bothers Me, a film about the subject of skin lightening. “I used the most shocking images so that women would see the dangers. It is hard to understand why a woman would tell herself that dark skin is not beautiful.” Ms. Sall says the government needs to better control the marketing and sale of skin lighteners. But she adds education is the best way to persuade people against using them.
13. The underlined part “the opposite” in Para. 2 refers to the fact that _________.
A. some women pay more attention to skin cancers
B. some women use products to lighten their skin
C. some women want to get lasting beauty
D. some women think the black skin beautiful
14. Which of the following does Adama Diagne probably agree with?
A. Chemicals should not be used in beauty products.
B. Beauty products can really improve women’s skin quality.
C. The stronger the products are, the more damage they do.
D. No effort could be too much for women to become beautiful.
15. Ms. Sall made the film This Color That Bothers Me to _________.
A. show the true meaning of beauty
B. explain how beauty products damage the skin
C. tell people how to use beauty products properly
D. educate people on the dangers of beauty products
