3 . Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.

In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.

Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 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 being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first medical school for women.

6 . When you talk to doctors in the hospitals, it often happens that most of them are very serious and speak in a range of terms that may be difficult to understand. But Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the Shanghai team of experts in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia, is one of the exceptions. He caught the public's attention for his recent frank and funny speech.

Zhang's words first went viral on the Internet after he said in late January that he had sent doctors and nurses who are members of the Communist Party of China(CPC) to frontline hospitals to treat coronavirus cases. "When becoming CPC members, we vowed that we would always put people's interests first in the face of difficulties," Zhang said. “This is the moment we live up to the vow. All CPC members must rush to the frontline. No bargaining." Such a hardcore declaration of his attitude won widespread applause among Internet users. “A person's morals are witnessed most in a critical situation. Nothing could win more recognition from the people than the down-to-earth behavior of the CPC members, said Yang Haiyan, a 32-year-old Shanghai resident.

One month later, when Zhang advised local residents to reduce the risk of spreading the virus by staying at home, he said in Shanghai dialect: "If you don't stop seeing friends, you will see them again in the ICU.”

Though chased by the media, Zhang described himself as a medical worker who must speak out now, but will return to keeping a low profile after the outbreak ends. "I spoke because of the fear among the public, owing to limited knowledge of the contagion," said Zhang on Feb 26. “However, once the curtain of this coronavirus incident falls, it may be hard to find me. I’ll just hide myself in a comer, studying complicated patient cases and doing some reading, silently.”

1. What has made Zhang Wenhong so popular online?

A．His attitude towards his patients.	B．His honest and humorous speech.
C．His vow to fight against the virus.	D．His broad knowledge of the virus.

2. Why did Zhang Wenhong send CPC members of medical staff to frontline hospitals?

A．They would not bargain.

B．They should do as they had vowed.

C．They would be calmer in a critical situation.

D．They could win recognition from the people.

3. What can we infer from Zhang Wenhong's words in the last paragraph?

A．He doesn't like to speak in public.

B．He is looking forward to taking a break.

C．He is not a person who is after fame and attention.

D．He mainly treats people with complicated diseases.

4. In which column of a newspaper may the passage appear?
