         Just six days after Rankin first attended Congress in 1917，American President Wilson called for a vote to go to war against Germany, as German submarines（潜水艇）attacked American ships during World War I. When Jeanette was called upon to vote，she said，“I want to stand by my country， buy I cannot vote for war. I vote no.” Forty-nine other congress members also voted no, but she was the person who was criticized most. Newspapers said her decision came from weakness and she was anti-American.

    In the Second World War, Japanese warplanes attacked the American base at Pearl Harbor in 1941. The time came again for the US Congress members to vote for or against going to war. Everyone was waiting for Jeanette Rankin to vote, who rose and said, “As a woman, I can’t go to war,  so I refuse to send anyone else.” Out of 471 members, she was the only member who voted against war. After that, she received thousands of letters. Most people criticized her, but some praised her for her courage.

    Shortly before she died in 1973, she was asked if she regretted voting “no” to the two wars. “Never. ”she answered. “If you are against war, you’re against war regardless of what happens.”

    Today, in the US Congress Building，there is a statue of Jeanette Rankin. On the base of the statue are her words: “I cannot vote for war.”

    A. She wanted to become famous throughout the USA

    B. She hated war and would vote against war.

    C. She wanted to help more women and children

    D. She was a born politician

    57. Which is true according to the passage?

    A. Jeannette was the only member to vote no to the two wars.

    B. Jeannette voted no to the wars because she was weak.

    C. Everyone in the USA hated her when she voted no to the war against Japan.

    D. Jeanette believed that no war was right.

    58. From the passage we can tell that Jeanette Rankin was             .

    A. full of courage                        B. Very fair

    C. Very intelligent                        D. very stubborn.

    59. The American people remember Jeanette Rankin mainly for       .
