Reading comprehension(阅读理解)

　　My friend Alice decided to be a nurse when she was four years old. She always wanted to play as “doctor and nurse” with her playmates. When she left school last year she still wanted to be a real nurse. One day she saw an advertisement(广告) in the newspaper:

　　DO YOU WANT TO HELP PEOPLE?

　　STUDY NURSING

　　SEND THIS FORM TO US FOR MORE INFORMATION

　　Alice filled in the form with her name and address. She cut it out and posted it at once.

　　Last September she started her study in a big hospital in Newcastle. She had to work very hard. She went to classes every day and studied late into the night. The really important day came : her first day in a ward(病房). At last she was really helping sick people, not just sitting in classes or learning from books.

　　At first, student nurses do lots of small jobs in the ward. They help to serve meals, or wash the patients. They also keep the ward tidy and make the beds. They cannot give injections(注射) or help the doctors. One of Alice's first jobs was in a ward of old people. She was told to clean all the patients' false(假的) teeth. She collected all the teeth and took them to the bathroom. Instead of cleaning each set of teeth one by one she put them all into one big bowl.

　　“It'll be quicker this way,” she said to herself. “Then I can give back everyone's teeth in a few minutes.”

　　Give back everyone's teeth! Alice stood in the middle of the ward with her big bowl of teeth. She had no idea which teeth belonged to which old man! You can imagine the confusion(混乱) the next half hour when each patient had to find his own teeth.
