原文+答案解析

035.
My friend Alice decided to be a nurse when she was four years old. When she left school last year, she still wanted to be a nurse. Last September, she started her studies in a big hospital. She had to work very hard. She went to classes every day and studied late at night. At last she was really helping sick people, but this was not easy at first.
One of Alice's first jobs was to care for the old people. She was told to clean all the patients' false teeth. She collected all the teeth and took them to the bathroom. Instead of cleanning each set of teeth one by one, she put them all into a 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 bowl of teeth. She had no idea which teeth belonged to which old man! You can imagine the confusion of the next half an hour when each patient had to find his own teeth.

答案解析：
(1) 正确答案为B。根据My friend Alice decided to be a nurse when she was four years old. 我朋友艾丽丝在四岁的时候就决定成为护士。可知，艾丽丝还是个孩子的时候就决定要当护士，因此B项正确。
(2) 正确答案为B。根据She went to classes every day and studied late at night. 她每天都去上课，而且学习到很晚。可知，A项及C项均在文中提及，因此是正确的排除。所以不正确的陈述就是B项。
(3) 正确答案为C。根据She was told to clean all the patients' false teeth.她被要求为所有病人清理假牙。可知，艾丽丝被要求清理病人的假牙，因此C项正确。
(4) 正确答案为A。根据You can imagine the confusion of the next half an hour when each patient had to find his own teeth.你可以想象接下来的半个小时有多混乱，因为每个病人不得不自己找出他们的假牙。可知，病人找到假牙花了半个小时的时间，因此A项正确。
