Question

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family.When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing，and read a lot of books.She also travelled a great deal with her mother 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.“I’m going to be a nurse，” she decided.“Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady，” her father told her.
“Then I will make it so，” she smiled.And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France.When she returned to England，Florence started a nursing home for women.
During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty-eight nurses to the front hospitals.What they saw there was terrible.Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled.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 in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers.But they were more than enough for this kind woman.
After war she returned to England and was honoured for her services by Queen Victoria.But Florence said that her work had just begun.She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London.She also wrote a book on public health，which was printed in several countries.
