Elizabeth Blackwell was born on February 3, 1821 in Bristol, England. Her father was a rich sugar businessman at the time. Because her parents thought boys and girls should be equal, Elizabeth received the same education as her brothers.
In 1832, her father’s business was destroyed by fire, so her family moved to New York City. But her father’s business there failed. Then in 1837, the family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. Not long after, her father died. After her father’s death, Elizabeth, at the age of 16, had to go to work。
When she was 24, she visited her dying friend Mary. Her friend said, “You’re young and strong, you should become a doctor。” That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. But she knew this was what she was going to do。
After several rejections from medical schools, she finally was accepted by Geneva Medical College. By studying hard, she graduated successfully in 1849.
After graduating from medical school, she went to Paris to learn more about medicine. She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.
When she returned to America in 1851, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. In 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, she also set up the first medical school for women in 1868, where she taught the women students about disease prevention. It was the first time that the idea of preventing disease was taught in a medical school。
Elizabeth Blackwell started the British National Health Society in 1871, which helped people learn how to stay healthy. In 1889, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman doctor in the United States. Most importantly she fought for the admission of women to medical colleges.
Elizabeth Blackwell died on May 3, 1910, when she was 89.She opened a world of chances for women. She always fought for what was right in all her life. In 1949 the Blackwell medal was established. It’s given to women who have excellent achievements in the field of medicine. She’ll always be remembered as a great woman.

Plants have family values, too, it seems, with new research suggesting they can recognize close relatives in order to work together。
An ability to tell family from strangers is well known in animals, allowing them to cooperate and share resources, but plants may possess similar social skills, scientists believe。
Susan Dudley and Amanda File of McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, report they have demonstrated for the first time that plants can recognize their kin。
This suggests that plants, though lacking recognition and memory, are capable of complex social interactions。
“Plants have this kind of hidden but complicated social life,” Dudley said。
The study found plants from the same species of beach-dwelling wildflower grew aggressively alongside unrelated neighbors but were less competitive when they shared soil with their families。
Sea rocket, a North American species, showed stronger and healthier root growth when planted in pots with strangers than when raised with relatives from the same maternal(母系的) family, the study found。
This is an example of kin selection, a behavior common in animals in which closely related individuals take a group approach to succeeding in their environment, the researchers said。
Kin selection also applies to competition, because if family members compete less with each other, the group will do better overall. “Everywhere you look, plants are growing right up next to other plants,” Dudley said,“ Usually it’s a case of each plant for itself. But sometimes those plants are related, and there are benefits to not wasting resources on being competitive, and there is not really a cost to not being competitive as long as your neighbor is also not being competitive。”
Learning and memory appear to be important for kin recognition in animals, but this isn’t an option for plants, she noted。
Some researchers speculate(猜測) that plants communicate through their roots, identifying themselves using tiny chemical signatures specific to each plant’s family。
( )66.What’s the main idea of the message?
A.Studies find plants can recognize, communicate with relatives。
B.Kin selection is important for plants。
C.Animals can recognize and memorize their relatives。
D.Competition asks plants to recognize their relatives。
( )67.Which of the following is NOT right about animals’ social skill?
A.Animals can recognize and memorize their relatives。
B.Animals’ social skill is to cooperate and share resources。
C.Animals’ social skill can recognize close relatives in order to work together。
D.Animals’ social skill is no use at all。
( )68.Plants’ kin selection is to ________。
A.grow well
B.compete with other kinds of plants
C.strengthen the relationship among siblings
D.find which one is the best
( )69.From the passage,we learn that ________。
A.sea rocket is a South American species
B. sea rocket grows aggressively alongside its siblings
C.sea rocket grows aggressively alongside unrelated neighbors
D.sea rocket is a kind of bush without flowers
( )70.How can the plants communicate with each other according to experts’ suppose?
A.Plants communicate by using tiny chemical signatures specific to each plant’s family。
B.Plants communicate with each other through their roots。
C.Plants communicate with each other by their leaves。
D.Plants communicate with each other with their flowers。

Directions: Read the following passage.Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit.Write your answers on your answer sheet。
According to a new study, preschool boys perform better on tests that measure learning and other important skills when they are in classes that have more girls than boys. This doesn’t seem to apply to girls, though. For preschool girls, the presence or absence of boys does not affect learning。
“The study raises questions about having all-boy or all-girl classes for preschool”, says psychologist Arlen Moller, who led the study. She added, “Previous researches have shown that high-school girls may study better in all-girl schools. In middle school, however, the effects of same-sex schooling are unclear, and even less is known for very young kids。” To find out, researchers studied 70 preschool classes with a total of 806 children who were between 3.5 and 6 years old. For each class, teachers recorded the students’ progress over a 6.5-month school year.
Their data included scores of motor skills, social skills and thinking skills. Researchers found that boys developed each of these skills more quickly when there were more girls in the class than boys。
In majority-girl classrooms, boys developed at the same rate as girls. But in classes where boys were the majority, boys developed more slowly than girls. Girls tended to advance in classrooms which had any combination of boys and girls。
The study is one of the first to look at how the proportion of boys and girls in a class affects learning. Because it’s a new finding, researchers don’t know why this difference exists。
“This is an exciting topic, but it’s too early to draw any conclusion because this area is so under-explored,” says psychologist Lean Malofeeva of the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation in Ypsilanti, Michigan。
81.What is the finding of the researchers led by Arlen Moller? (No more than 15 words)
82.According to the research, what effect does a minority-girl class have on boy’s study?(No more than 8 words)
83.How does Lean Malofeeva find the study of the researchers led by Arlen Moller?(No more than 6 words)
84.List three abilities the researchers focused on. (No more than 7 words)
