英语阅读题(2)~
During the Crimean War in 1854 many soldiers were wounded or became ill.News reached England that they were receiving very little care.At once Florance Nightingale wrote to the War Office and offered her service.She went with a band (一队) of thirty-eight nurses to the hospitals at Scutari.
What they saw there was even worse than they expected.Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen - and smelled.The officer there did not want any women to tell him how to run a hospital,either.But the brave nurses went to work.
Florance 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.
She fell dangerously ill herself,but she did not stop working.Her thin hands worked day and night.Even in the last hours of the night she could be seen working with a lamp past each bed.The soldiers often kissed her shadow as "the lady of the lamp" went by.
