Passage Two
Before the 1870’s，trained nurses were virtually unknown in the United States.Hospital nursing was an unskilled occupation，taken up by women of the lower classes，some of whom were from the charity house.The movement for reform originated not with doctors，but among upper-class women，who had taken on the role of guardians of a new hygienic order.Though some doctors approved of the women’s desire to establish a nurses’training school，which would attract the daughters of the middle class，other medical men were opposed.Plainly threatened by the prospect，they objected that educated nurses would not do as they were told.When resisted，as they were at Bellevue in efforts to install trained nurses on the maternity wards，they went over the heads of the doctors to men of their own class of greater power and authority.Professional nursing，in short，emerged neither from medical discoveries nor from a program of hospital reform initiated by physicians；outsiders saw the need frst.

Passage Three
Are you aware that you actually possess six senses？The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently—to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform.For example，when you reach for an object，the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at the correct spot.This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.
Muscles are stringy bundles of fbers varying from one fve-thousandth of an inch to about three inches.They have three unique characteristics：they can become shorter and thicker；they can stretch；and they can retract to their original position.
More than half of a person’s body is composed of muscle fbers，most of which are involuntary—in other words，work without conscious direction.Women have only 60 to 70 percent as much muscle as men for their body mass.That is why an average woman can’t lift as much，throw as far，or hit as hard as an average man.
