Her family was impoverished, so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her homE.Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school. She was a very good student, especially in math.
After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher. In 1886, she married Armistead Walker. They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them. She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order of St. LukE.This organization helped African Americans take care of the sick and bury the deaD.Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization. The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.
Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization. In 1895, she suggested that St. Luke begin a program for young peoplE.This program became very popular with schoolchildren. In 1899, Walk became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization. However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.
The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over. It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank. But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that. Her idea was to get new members to join the Organization. In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000 members.

Is that 6 A.m. wokeout getting in the way of good sleep? Don't think your fat cells won't noticE.A new study published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (a medical journal) finds that inadequate shut-eye has a harmful effect on fat cells, reducing their ability to respond to insulin (胰岛素) by about 30 percent. Over the long-term, this decreased response could set the stage for type-2 diabetes (a medical condition in which someone has too much sugar in his or her blood), fatty liver disease and weight gain.The study adds to a growing body of evidence that there' “an intimate relationship between the amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain a good, healthy body weight,” says sleep expert Helene Emsellem, director of the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase, MarylanD.But Americans don't seem to be getting the message that we need seven to nine hours par night. More than 1 in 5 of us, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is getting six or fewer hours of sleep per night, on averagE.So how did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper? Matthew Brady of the University of Chicago and a group of colleagues selected and persuaded seven volunteers to take part in the research project. They were all young, thin and healthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep laB.“For four nights they were allowed to stay in bed for 8.5 hours a night,” says Brady. Then, a month later, they came back for four additional nights——but this time they were allowed just 4.5 hours of sleep per night. And after each visit, researchers got a sample of their fat. Brady explains that the fat cells responded significantly to the loss of sleep. “I was very surprised to be honest,” he says.Bad things can happen when fat cells become less responsive to insulin. “Fat cells are actually your friend,” he says. “They're there to store lipids (血脂).” When lipids stay inside the cells, your body can utilize the fat when you're exercising or sleeping or going about your day. “However, when fat cells stare to become insulin resistant, the lipids star to leach out of the fat cells and rise in the bloodstream,” Brady says.1. According to the passage, lack of sleep for a long while can probably lead to all of the following EXCEPT {A; B; C}.A.heart diseaseB.weight gainC.diabetes2. The main idea of the third paragraph is {A; B; C}.A.how to write a medical research paperB.how to avoid sleep lossC.how the research was conducted3. What does the “leach” in the last paragraph probably mean?{A; B; C}A.Leap.B.LeaD.C.Leak.4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?{A; B; C}A.We will be in trouble if our fat cells become less responsive to insulin.B.More and more studies are done to study the link between sleep and weight.C.More than 20% of Americans are not getting enough sleep.5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?{A; B; C}A.Poor Sleep May Lead to Too Much Stored Fat and DiseaseB.Sleep Experts Had Exciting Findings in a Fat StudyC.Americans Should Have More Than Six Hours of Sleep
