第一节（共15小题：每小题2分，满分30分）

A

I was raised in a traditional, protective Italian family. At 16, I told my dad I wanted to go to a nursing school, but at that time nurses’ training in my town required that I live at the hospital. His refusal destroyed my dream in my heart. I later worked, but receiving telephone calls and dealing with my boss’ letters every day were not satisfying to me. My dream of becoming a formal nurse was always with me.

In 1998 my daughter had a baby. She invited me to be in the delivery room (产房)with her. Her nurse was a wonderful woman who gave me tiny tasks to do while my daughter was in labor. Seeing my performance, she asked if I was a nurse. I couldn’t forget her surprised look when I answered no. I told her that to be a nurse was always my dream.

“It’s never too late,” she said, “Go to school now.”

The very next day I went to Maria College in New York, to talk with an officer. Even though I was unaware of my potential and not very confident, I felt a strong sense of wonder and possibility. They did admit me, so I retired early from my work and went to school fulltime.

At my graduation ceremony as a formal nurse from Maria College in May 2002, I won an award for my performance. Walking across the stage I wanted to shout, “If I can do this, anyone can!”

I am 63 this year and have been a delivery nurse for four years. I am proud to be present at the beginning of life. For me there is no experience like that of seeing a complete, perfect human being arrive in this world. Introducing this tiny new life to the family circle is unexplainably pleasant.

I hope my experience will inspire those who read it.
