1)课文：

NIGHTINGALE

Florence Nightingale came from a rich family and was very pretty. In her family, young girls usually spent their time going to parties until they married rich young

men. But Florence found parties boring; she wanted to be a nurse. Finally, in 1850,

when she was 30, her parents accepted her decision. So she went to study in a

hospital in Germany. Then she was in charge of a nursing-home for women in

London. Soon she was asked to go to the Crimea to take charge of the wounded

soldiers.

The conditions in the Crimea hospital were terrible. Forty per cent of the patients died. Certain beds seemed fatal: soldiers died in them after two days.

Nightingale decided that this was because of bad drains, and insisted that the

government do something about it. Workmen put in a proper drainage system and

supplied pure drinking water. The death rate dropped to two percent. On her return

to England people greeted Florence Nightingale as a heroine. She was an important

force in the movement to reform hospitals and nursing in England. By 1900 unsafe

hospitals and ignorant nurses were things of the past.

2)译文：

南丁格尔

弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔出身于一个富裕的家庭，非常漂亮。在她的家庭里，年轻女孩通常把时间花在聚会上，直到他们嫁给有钱的年轻人。但是佛罗伦萨

发现派对很无聊，她想成为一名护士。最后，在1850，当她30岁时，她的父母

接受了她的决定。于是她去了德国的一家医院学习。然后她负责伦敦的一家妇

女疗养院。很快，她被要求去克里米亚接管伤员。

克里米亚医院的条件非常糟糕。百分之四十的病人在医院里死去。有些床

位似乎是致命的：士兵在床上呆两天就死去。南丁格尔认为这是由于恶劣的排污状况引起的。她主张政府要设法改变这种状况。工人安装了合适的排水装置，提供纯净的饮用水。死亡率下降到百分之二。当她返回英国时，人们把弗罗伦斯•南丁格尔作为女英雄来欢迎。她是英国医院改革及护理运动中一个重要的推动力。到1900年，不保险的医院与无知的护士都不存在了。

3)旧课文：

STUDY AS LENIN STUDIED

Yesterday we went to an exhibition on the life and word of Lenin, the great revolutionary leader of the working class. There we saw pictures of Lenin’s early life. They were very inspiring and taught us a lot.

Lenin was born on April 22, 1870, in the town of Simbirsk. After he finished school there, he went to the University of Kaman. There he was a leader of the student movement and took an active part in revolutionary work.

Lenin lived simply and studied hard. He was the best student in his class, and was always ready to help his friends with their lessons. Lenin worked very hard at foreign languages, because he knew they were a useful weapon in revolutionary struggle. He read a great deal, and made full notes while he read.

He planned his work carefully, and never left today’s work for tomorrow.

Lenin learned not only from books. He talked with workers and peasants and learned a great deal from the. He was always close to the people, and the people loved him.

Lenin set an example to all of us. Let us study as Lenin studied.

4)译文：
