第二节：阅读下面短文, 并回答问题。
Dorothea Dix left home at an early age — of her own free will — to live with her
grandmother.
At fourteen, Dorothea was teaching school at Worcester, Massachusetts. A short
time after she had begun teaching, she set up a school for young girls in her
grandparents’ home, which she conducted until she was thirty-three.
She was forced to give up teaching at her grand-parents’ home, however, when
she became ill, a few years of inactivity followed.
In 1841 Dorothea began to teach again, accepting a Sunday school class in the
East Cambridge, Massachusetts prison. Here she first came upon insane people (精神
病人) locked up together with prisoners.
In those days insane people were treated even worse than prisoners. There were
only a few madhouses in the entire country. Therefore prisons, poor houses, and
houses of correction were used to keep the insane.
Dorothea Dix made a careful investigation(调查) of the inhuman treatment of the
insane. It was considered unusual for a woman to devote herself to such work at that
time. But this did not stop Dorothea Dix from providing proper medical care for the
insane.
Gradually, because of her investigations, conditions were improved. More than
thirty mental institutions were founded or rebuilt in the United States because of her
hard work. Dorothea also spread her investigations to England and to other parts of
Europe.
During the Civil War, Dorothea served as superintendent( 负 责 人 ) of women
hospital nurses in the Union army. When the war was over, she returned to her work
of improving conditions for insane people.
61. What kind of school was Dorothea’s school at Worcester, Massachusetts?
62. How did Dorothea Dix first realize the mistreatment of insane people?
63. Why was Dorothea Dix’s work with the insane interrupted(中断)？
64. How are the events of Dorothea Dix’s life presented in the passage?
65. What does this article mainly tell us about?

What do you think about ancient Chinese women’s living 86 ? Now, let’s
have a quick look at it. In old China, women were always 87 and were not
encouraged to go out. They must stay at home to 88 their children and aged

women must 89 all their lives to their family and 90 very well towards their
husbands. If they 91 with them openly, they must be punished 92 they had

ancient Chinese women made less 95 than those today.
