10、 in 1821,is widely known as one of the most honored women in American history.She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time.Later,she became one of the first women ever to be employed by the government.Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first
11、patient.He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old.She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years,learning how to give him all his medicines.When the Civil War began in 1861,she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help.Instead of w
12、aiting for others to step in,Clara collected necessary things on her own,asked the public for donations and learned how to store and distribute them to soldiers.She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862,Clara arrived at a
13、 field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies.A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write,“I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”In 1869,Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of
14、the Red Cross.Upon her return to the United States,she successfully founded the American Red Cross.She led the organization for the next 23 years.Her last field mission(使命)as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane.She did not retire(退休)from the Am

19、le who feel satisfied with their lives always have lots of close friends and regularly make new ones.While it is not clear whether our friends make us happy or we make friends because we are happy,the researchers say it is clear that we should maintain our friendships.Psychologist Richard Tunney sai
20、d,“Whatever the reason is,actively working on friendships in the same way as to maintain a marriage is a prerequisite(必备条件)to happiness.”Dr.Tunney,of Nottingham University,quizzed（询问）more than 1,700 people about their satisfaction with their lives and the state of their friendships.Those with five f
21、riends or fewer had just a 40 percent chance of being happy.In other words,they were more likely to be unhappy than happy.Ten was the first number at which people were more likely to be happy than unhappy.The happiest people were those with dozens of friends,according to the study,which was carried
22、out for the National Lottery.For women,this meant having 33 friends;for men,the number was 49.Dr.Tunney said,“People who were extremely satisfied with their lives had twice the number of friends of people who were extremely dissatisfied.”Women tended to have fewer friends than men but formed tighter
23、 relationships.Interestingly,the study found that childhood friends are no more likely to make us happy than people we become close to later in life.Lottery winners,however,have a different opinion on life.They are always happier than others despite spending their time with a small circle of old fri

27、iendships play a major role in peoples lifeDWhen nature is left alone,a balance is reached among the animals and plants living in one area.But when man starts his work in nature,the balance is likely to be destroyed.He grows a crop and takes it away to eat;then there are no dead leaves to fall on th
28、e ground,holding water while it sinks into the surface,or decaying(腐烂)and adding humus(腐殖质)to the soil.Unless a farmer acts with knowledge and skill,he is therefore most likely to make the land poorer.To take the place of the useful matter in the crops that he removes,he uses some kind of fertilizer
29、(肥料).Chemical fertilizers are of great help,but the waste products of animals and decaying remains of plants should also be put on the land.In some places,it is a habit to burn waste material lying about,but such burning destroys the useful matter in the dead plants.Although the ashes that are left
30、are valuable when put on the land,a better practice is to bury the waste so that it decays and increases the humus in the soil.In the past,when the world population was much lower than it is now,a man had little difficulty in ordinary times in growing the food that was needed.When a field had been u
31、sed some years and had become tired,the farmer could move to another place.The tired land then slowly recovered.Gradually grasses and other plants would appear on it and its productive power would slowly return to normal through their decay.But nature,left alone,would take a long time to bring back
32、the land to its former state;the length of time required would depend on local conditions,but it might well be ten years.However,now farmers can hardly move to another place for lack of free farming fields for them.It is a bad practice to grow the same crop in a field year after year.If the crop is
33、changed,the land will 第 3 页 共 4 页suffer less because it is treated and used in a different way.Different plants have different effects on the soil.Therefore,a change of crop will do less harm than the growing of the same crop year after year and a regular change to grass will do good to the soil.Muc
34、h will therefore be gained if different crops are grown one after another,a method known as the rotation(轮作)of crops.32.According to the passage,the land will become poorer_.A.if all the dead leaves are cleared away B.if the humus is increased after the harvestC.if dead leaves decay in the soil by t
35、hemselves D.if waste plant material lying about is buried 33.We can learn from the passage that the tired land has gradually recovered_.A.when grasses and other plants appear againB.when the treatment is given by nature aloneC.after new grasses and other plants have decayed againD.after nature has b
36、een left alone for several months 34.A modern farmer can hardly move to another place as he did before because_.A.the productive power of a new field isnt higher than that of an old oneB.there are few free fields left for him to do farmingC.it takes a farmer more than ten years to start farming in a
