“Lizzie, there’s a letter for you!” Emily called up the stairs to her sister. Elizabeth looked down. “Is it from Harvard? They refused my application once.” Emily answered, “No, it’s from Yale.” Quickly, Elizabeth walked downstairs. She took the letter and opened it. “Rejected again,” Elizabeth said unhappily. “Who says women can’t be doctors?”

      “They are fools not to accept you. You can’t let them stop you, Lizzie,” Emily said.

     “I won’t. I’ll apply to (申請) Geneva Medical College,” Elizabeth told her sister. As it turned out, the professors at Geneva Medical College were not fools. They allowed Elizabeth Blackwell to study medicine.

      In 1848, a year before Elizabeth would graduate, a typhoid epidemic (傷寒流行病) broke out in New York. Elizabeth wrote to Emily. “There’s an outbreak (爆發(fā)) of typhoid, and I am going to help. It is dangerous, so if I should not survive, please do me the honor of studying medicine yourself.”

       Emily replied, “Encouraged by your dream and success, I have decided to study in medical school, as well.”

      Having survived the disease, Elizabeth tried to set up a private medical practice. “I graduated first in my class but no one believes a woman can be a good doctor,” she said to Emily one day. “All I hear is that doctors should be men, while women should stay home to cook and clean.”

      Emily said worriedly, “I will graduate in June with my medical degree. What shall we do?” Elizabeth thought for a while and replied, “There’s a big house in the poor part of our town. We can practice medicine there for people who couldn’t afford care.”

      Soon with the help of some friends, Elizabeth and Emily bought the house and opened a hospital for poor women and children. “We’ll have an all-women staff (員工),” Elizabeth said. “And later, we’ll add a medical college for women!” Emily added. At last, Elizabeth realized her dream of being a doctor.

26. The underlined word “Rejected” in the first paragraph can be best replaced by _____.

A. Refused              B. Praised                     C. Changed            D. Accepted

27. Hearing Elizabeth’s words about the letter from Yale, Emily felt _____.

s I crammed myself onto a crowded train this morning, I noticed there was a very pregnant(懷孕的) woman standing near me, jammed in tightly and hanging on for dear life．I looked at the passengers sitting in the seats that are supposed to be surrendered to the elderly, physically challenged, and other people who need to sit, Not one of them even looked up; everyone was too absorbed in what they were listening to, reading, or watching to even notice the pregnant passenger．

Over the past few years, there have been countless discussions on minding our manners within our new modes of communication．But while we’ve been debating the dos and don’ts of technology etiquette（禮節(jié)）, it appears that many of us have forgotten some of the old school manners that have nothing to do with a keyboard or a monitor, but have everything to do with the long-forgotten Golden Rule．Maybe technology has eroded our brains so much that we can never go back to those golden days．

“Giving up your seat to someone is so easy．Even when people don’t accept your offer, I think it’s nice to get up and stay standing so they know you’re sincere． The more that we become the good example, the more it will catch on．” Lizzie Post, says great-great granddaughter of Emily Post ．

Sophisticated technology doesn’t mean that good manners have to be a thing of the past． In fact, Post says she defines good manners using three simple, everyday principles: consideration, respect, and honesty． “Apply those to any situation and toward all the people involved including yourself and the solution will make sense．”

66．No one gave up his seat to the pregnant women because______．

A．The woman doesn’t need a seat at all．

B．It’s not common to give up his seat to others who need it

C．No one noticed her on the such crowed train

D．Everyone is so tired that all want to have a rest．

67．Paragraph 2 suggests that________．

A．We are always having discussions on minding our manners

B．Many of us have forgotten some of the old school manners

C．It’s technology that has eroded our brains so much

D．Students always care about their own business instead of school manners

68．The underlined phrase “ catch on ” in the third paragraph refers to____．

A．being understood     B．being popular     C．being taken     D．being caught

69．What did Lizzie Post say shows that she was ______?

A．honest             B．polite            C．respectable             D．friendly

70． What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Where Are Our Manners     B．The Long-forgotten Golden Rule

C．Give up your Seat          D．Sophisticated Technology
