Elizabeth Blackwell is a British-born woman physician (医师). She was born in 1821 in England. Her father decided to move the family to the United States in 1832 after his factory was destroyed by fire. It is said that she turned to studying medicine after a close friend who was dying said she wouldn’t have suffered so much if her physician had been a woman. Elizabeth knew that no woman had ever been permitted to study in a medical school. But she began to think about the idea seriously after the friend who had suggested it died.
Elizabeth discussed it with her family. Her family supported her. However, all the medical colleges refused her except Geneva Medical College in New York. When she graduated from Geneva Medical College in 1849, she became the first woman in America to earn the M. D. degree. She was not offered many opportunities as a young female physician, she opened her own office 2 years later. Her younger sister Dr. Emily Blackwell, joined her in 1856. Together with Dr. Marie Zakrzewska, they opened the New York Infirmary (医院) for Women and Children in 1857. After establishing the infirmary. Elizabeth Blackwell went on a year-long lecture tour of Great Britain. Her lectures and personal example inspired more women to take up medicine as a profession.
When the American Civil War broke out, the Blackwell sisters aided in nursing efforts. After the end of the war, Elizabeth Blackwell carried out a plan that she had developed together with her friend Florence Nightingale while in England. She opened the Women’s Medical College with her sister. This college was operated under her sister’s management. She moved to England the next year. There, she helped to organize the National Health Society and she founded the London School of Medicine for Women.

Recently divorced(离婚），I was in my 20s,had no job and was on my way downtown to the employment offices.I had no umbrella,and I could not afford another one.I sat down in the streetcar-and there against the seat was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle.
I examined the handle and saw a name.The usual procedure would have been to turn in the umbrella to the conductor,but somehow I decided to take it with me and find the owner myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the name on the umbrella and found it.I called and a lady answered.
Yes,she said in surprise,that was her umbrella,which her parents,now dead,had given her for a birthday present.But,she added,it had been stolen more than a year before.She was so excited that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house.She took the umbrella,her eyes filled with tears.We talked for a while,and I must have given her my address. I don't remember.
The next six months were tough.My last job ended the day before Christmas and my thirty-dollar
rent was soon due,and I had only fifteen dollars.When I walked from the streetcar to my small apartment,the air was full of the sound of Christmas merriment.But there should be no Christmas for me.Unless a miracle happened,I would be homeless in January,foodless, jobless.
Peggy,my daughter,had proudly set our kitchen table for our evening meal and put pans out and three cans of food which would be our dinner.When I looked at those pans and cans,I felt broken-hearted.We would have only hamburgers for our Christmas dinner tomorrow.I stood in the cold little kitchen and the coldness in my heart was colder than ice.
Paragraph 1:
The doorbell suddenly rang and Peggy ran swiftly to answer it,calling that it must be Santa Claus.

Paragraph 2:
Our dinner that night was he most delicious I had ever eaten.
