    　　Lisa was running late．Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way：her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown．But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warln．By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought．She rested herself against a post close to the tracks．

    　　Several yards away, Frank, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop．They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying．

    　　But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, “Oh, my God, she fell in!”Frank didn’t hesitate．He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails．“No!Not you!”his girlfriend screamed after him．

    　　She was right to be alarmed．By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming．The train was about 20 seconds from the station．

    　　It was hard to lift her．She was just out．But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge．That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse．

    　　Lisa thought she’d been robbed．A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head．And she tried to talk but she couldn’t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in．

    　　Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer．Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40－minute train ride downtown-just as he had been seconds after the rescue, which made her think about her reaction at the time．“I saw the train coming and 1 was thinking he was going to die,”she explained．

    阅读理解

    　　It was a simple letter asking for a place to study at Scotland's oldest university which helped start a revolution in higher education．A 140-year-old letter written by a lady calling for her to be allowed to study medicine at St Andrews University has been discovered by researchers．Written by Sophia Jex-Blake in 1873, the seven-page document, which urged the university to allow women to study medicine at the institution, was released yesterday on International Women's Day．

    　　The document was discovered buried in the university archives(档案)by part-time history student Lis Smith, who is completing her PhD at St Andrews Institute of Scottish Historical Research．She said：“We knew that Sophia Jex-Blake and her supporters, in their effort to open up university medical education for women, had written to the Senatus Academicus(校评议委员会)at St Andrews in an attempt to gain permission to attend classes there, but we didn't know documentary evidence existed．While searching the archives for information about the university's higher certificate for women, I was astonished to come across what must be the very letter Jex-Blake wrote．”

    　　In the letter, Sophia and her supporters offered to hire teachers or build suitable buildings for a medical school and to arrange for lectures to be delivered in the subjects not already covered at St Andrews．Although her letter was not successful, it eventually led to the establishment of the Ladies Literate in Arts at St Andrews, a distance-learning degree for women．The qualification, which ran from 1877 until the 1930s, gave women access to university education in the days before they were admitted as students．It was so popular that it survived long after women were admitted as full students to St Andrews in 1892．

    　　Ms Jex-Blake went on to help establish the London School of Medicine for Women in 1874．She was accepted by the University of Berne, where she was awarded a medical degree in January 1877．Eventually, she moved back to Edinburgh and opened her own practice．
