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 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, medicine, and food for the men. Her only pay was smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.
She felt herself dangerously ill, 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.

Most of the modules in the International Space Station have four sides and they're put together that way so the people can work on a flat plane. All you have to do is turning yourself around and doing what you should do. People always ask about sleeping m space. Do you lie down? Not really, because it doesn't matter. You don't have the feeling of lying down, so you just sit in your sleeping bag.
The sleeping stations are like phone booths(电话亭), but pretty comfortable, and you can sleep in any orientation (方向) in them. Astronauts don’t have any feeling that tells them that they're upside down. At the same time sleeping booths are small offices with a laptop, toys, books, and clothes in them.
One of the things that astronauts also do is exercise. They need to exercise because they lose bone density (密度) and muscle mass(肌肉质量) while they're up there, and that's a result of not having to fight against gravity(重力) They keep themselves in shape with a bike and a weight lifting machine. The bike doesn't have a seat, because astronauts don't sit down. They actually haven't sat down for six months.
There is also a module where everybody meets in the morning. After you wash your face, and brush your teeth, you want to find something for breakfast. There are all sorts of food in the kitchen module. Some of them is dehydrated, and some is ready-made.

One auto group hosted a special event. The event was to show new kinds of cars. The new cars don't run on gasoline. They run on alternative (两者择一的) fuels.
These new kinds of cars burn many different kinds of fuel. Some of these cars are called hybrids. Hybrids run on a combination of gasoline and electricity. Other cars run on natural gas. Another kind of car runs on a special fuel cell. The cell is filled with a gas called hydrogen. All of these cars use less gasoline. That makes them less expensive for people to drive.
The fuel cell cars are also better in another way. They give off no emissions (排放物). One man who makes fuel cell cars is excited about hydrogen fuel cell technology. He says we will never run out of the source of the fuel, but we may run out of oil because it will take millions of years for more oil to form. The manufacturer(制造商) says that fuel cell cars will save money for drivers in another way. Most repairs will be made by computer programs instead of mechanics. They could become a common form of transportation in the near future.

Before throwing yourself into studying, you should make a study plan. Creating and following a study plan can help manage your time.
Assess(评定) your present plan. Creating a healthy balance between your studies and social life is important. You can make your study plan fit your needs and learning style.
List all the subjects you need to study. If you have a study guide or a textbook with review sections, use it to narrow down what you list. Once you have your list, rank the subjects by how confident you feel about them. By doing this, you can use more time and energy on problem areas.
Write down which subject you are studying in each step. This will help keep you on track, create checkpoints for the material, and allow you to organize your textbooks and study materials ahead of time. If you have questions about a specific subject, you have a record of what and when you studied. If you require help from someone, you can give them context.
Keep on practicing the plan. There's no point in making a study plan if you don’t keep on it, but it can be hard to start. Try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar/planner on a regular, preferably daily, basis. This will help keep you away from the "out of sight, out of mind" trick.
