9、 and father. As a child, she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them. At last, her mind was made up. “Im going to be a nurse,” she decided.“Nursing isnt the right work for a lady,” her father told her.“Then I will make it so,” she smiled. And she went

During the Crimean War in 1854, she went with a group of thirty-eight nurses to the front hospital. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled
11、. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurses went to work.Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicines and food for the men. Her only pay was the smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were m
12、ore than enough for this kind woman.After war, she returned to England and was honoured for her service by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun.

17、s away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually did. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport.

18、mily. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone stole our bike so I wrote to the newspaper and told our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even boug
19、ht a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from work. It is really an honour that a complete stranger would go out of his way for someone he has never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kind
20、ness from strangers are even more than so. This experience has had a spreading effect on our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole.

26、is a big part of daily life.Whats more, there are different standards for who touches whom and where.
