2 . PRACTITIONERS
| Jacqueline Felice de Almania (c.1322) highlights the suspicion that women practicing medicine faced. Born to a Jewish family in Florence, she moved to Paris where she worked as a physician and performed surgery. In 1322 she was tried for practicing unlawfully. In spite of the court hearing testimonials (证明) of her ability as a doctor, she was banned from medicine. | James Barry (c.1789 — 1865) was born Margaret Bulkley in Ireland but, dressed as a man, she was accepted by Edinburgh University to study medicine. She qualified as a surgeon in 1813, then joined the British Army, serving overseas. Barry retired in 1859, having practiced her entire medical profession living and working as a man. |
| Tan Yunxian (1461 — 1554) was a Chinese physician who learned her skills from her grandparents. Chinese women at the time could not serve apprenticeships (学徒期) with doctors. However, Tan passed the official exam. Tan treated women from all walks of life. In 1511, Tan wrote a book, Sayings of a Female Doctor, describing her life as a physician. | Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831 — 1895) worked as a nurse for eight years before studying in medical college in Boston in 1860. Four years later, she was the first African American woman to receive a medical degree. She moved to Virginia in 1865, where she provided medical care to freed slaves. |

4 . How to Close a Wound During First Aid
Closing and treating wounds (most often small scrapes) is a relatively common part of providing first aid.
Stop the bleeding. You’ll need to hold a towel in place for a few minutes to fully stop the bleeding. In the case of a minor scratch, bleeding will normally stop not long after the cut is sustained.
Clean the wound with cool water. Now that the wound is free of dirt and debris, your next priority is to clean the wounded area. If you’re near a house or building, you can use the water from a faucet.
Deposit a thin layer of antibiotic cream on the wound. This cream will kill any bacteria that may have gotten in the wound, and help the wound to heal more quickly.
| A．You should reapply pressure to the wound after the cleaning |
| B．If not, wash the wound with clean water from a water bottle |
| C．Control the bleeding |
| D．Apply gentle pressure to the small wound |
| E．It will also make the wound airtight |
| F．Remove any dirt from the wound |
| G．If the wound you’re treating is serious |

6 . Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world. When it comes to cancer, the sooner you know you have it, the better your chances of surviving will be. A new blood test could change the way doctors and researchers find cancer in patients.
Scientists at the University of Swansea in Wales came up with the idea. Gareth Jenkins is a professor at the university. He says he and his team did not look for cancer. They instead looked for the collateral damage, the damage left by the disease. In this case, it was mutated（突变的）red blood cells（细胞）-a by-product of the cancer developing.
The researchers used normal laboratory tools to perform the tests. The tools look for changes in millions of red blood cells. Those mutated cells don’t have a surface protein that healthy cells normally have. “The number of mutated red blood cells in a healthy person is around 5 or so per million. The number increases in cancer patients-they go up to 40 or 50 on average,” says Jenkins.
The researchers tested blood from about 300 people, all of whom have cancer of the esophagus （食道）, Patients with this kind of cancer have high levels of mutated red blood cells. Jenkins says that at this point he is not sure if other cancers would produce similar results.
The hope is that the new test could one day become part of commonly used medical methods. The professor says that using a series of tests will be the best way to find out if a person has cancer. “A series of tests, based on different principles looking at blood, breath and etc. will be the best way of getting a good view of whether someone might or might not have cancer.” These new methods could save millions of lives.
