As a girl, Louise Bethune showed great promise(前途) in planning houses and various other structures. As an adult, she was determined to become America's first woman architect(建筑师).
Young architects then usually learned their skills by working in the drafting rooms(绘图室) of professional architects. Most architects didn't want to employ women. But Louise managed to make a well-known architect give her a chance.
She worked from six in the morning to six in the evening. She wasn't paid much. But she learned much as she worked. And her employer allowed her to use his large library.
In 1881, after five years of work and study, Louise set up her own office. She advertised that "the first professional woman architect in the country was ready for business."
Louise insisted that she would not be limited to design private homes just because she was a woman. She sought out a variety of jobs and designed chapels(小教堂), storage buildings, factories and schools. She did very well, inspiring other women to become architects. She often spoke out for fair treatment for women.
When Louise Bethune was a girl, she liked to ______.
A.read picture-books of building
B.play toy-building with other girls
C.plan houses and other buildings
D.plan models of buildings
As she walked round the huge department store, Edith reflected how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wish that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume. Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most disagreeable experience: people trod on your toes, poked you with their elbows and almost knocked you over in their haste to get to a bargain ahead of you. Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where some attractive ties were on display. “They are real silk,” the assistant assured her, trying to tempt her. “Worth double the price.” But Edith knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father. She moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of man had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale—and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not hesitate for long: although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please him. When she got home, with her small well-chosen present concealed in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was in an especially cheerful mood, “Your father has at last to decided to stop smoking.” She informed her daughter. [共5题]
