Elizabeth looked down. “Is it from Harvard? They refused my application once.” Emily answered, “No, its from Yale.” Quickly, Elizabeth walked downstairs. She took the letter and opened it. “Rejected again,” Elizabeth said unhappily. “Who says women cant be doctors?” “They are fools not to accept you. You cant let them stop you, Lizzie,” Emily said. “I wont. Ill apply to (申请) Geneva Medical College,” Elizabeth told her sister. As it turned out, the professors at Geneva Medical College were not fools. They allowed Elizabeth Blackwell to study medicine. In 1848, a year before Elizabeth would graduate, a typhoid epidemic (伤寒流行病) broke out in New York. Elizabeth wrote to Emily. “Theres an outbreak (爆发) of typhoid, and I am going to help. It is dangerous, so if I should not survive, please do me the honor of studying medicine yourself.” Emily replied, “Encouraged by your dream and success, I have decided to study in medical school, as well.” Having survived the disease, Elizabeth tried to set up a private medical practice. “I graduated first in my class but no one believes a woman can be a good doctor,” she said to Emily one day. “All I hear is that doctors should be men, while women should stay home to cook and clean.” Emily said worriedly, “I will graduate in June with my medical degree. What shall we do?” Elizabeth thought for a while and replied, “Theres a big house in the poor part of our town. We can practice medicine there for people who couldnt afford care.” Soon with the help of some friends, Elizabeth and Emily bought the house and opened a hospital for poor women and children. “Well have an all-women staff (员工),” Elizabeth said. “And later, well add a medical college for women!” Emily added. At last, Elizabeth realized her dream of being a doctor. 21. The underlined word “Rejected” in the first paragraph can be best replaced by _.A. Refused B. PraisedC. Changed D. Accepted22.

However, several weeks before the recital (演奏会) of my students, Robby came，telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part.

Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is received from parents.The four groups must be transfused carefully. A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; therefore, it is often called the universal donor (万能捐赠者). For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient（接受者）. However, because so many reactions (反应) can happen in transfusions（输血）, patients usually receive only salt of plasma (liquid part of blood) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to prevent the transfusion from any bad reactions.33. People with type A blood can receive type .A. ABB. BC. OD. all of the three34.
