At fourteen, Dorothea was teaching school at Worcester, Massachusetts. A short time after she had begun teaching, she established a school for young girls in her grandparents' home. Stress was placed on moral character at Dorothea's school, which she conducted until she was thirty-three.
She was forced to give up teaching at her grandparents' home, however, when she became ill. A few years of inactivity followed.
In 1841 Dorothea began to teach again, accepting a Sunday school class in the East Cambridge, Massachusetts, jail. Here, she first came upon insane people locked up together with criminals.
In those days insane people were treated even worse than criminals. There were only a few asylums(精神病院)in the entire country. Therefore jails, poorhouses, and houses of correction were used to confine the insane.
Dorothea Dix made a careful investigation of the inhuman treatment of the insane. It was considered, unfeminine (不适合女性的)for a woman to devote herself to such work at this time. But this did not stop Dorothea Dix in her efforts to provide proper medical care for the insane.
Gradually, because of her investigations, conditions were improved. More than thirty mental institutions were founded or re-established in the United Stated because of her efforts. Dorothea also extended her investigations to England and to other parts of Europe.
During the Civil War, Dorothea served as superintendent(管理人)of women hospital nurses in the Union army. When the war was over, she returned to her work of improving conditions for insane people.

On the other hand, even having a supportive social network did not translate into a blood pressure benefit for singles or unhappily【H2】people , according to the study.
"There seem to be some unique health benefits from marriage. It's not just being married【H3】benefits health--what's really the most protective of health is having a happy【H4】)" study author Julianne Holt Lunstad, a psychologist who specializes in relationships and health, said in a prepared statement.
The study included 204 married and 99【H5】adults who wore portable blood-pressure monitors for 24 hours. The【H6】recorded blood pressure at random intervals and provided a total of about 72 readings.
"We wanted to capture participants' blood pressure doing whatever they normally【H7】in everyday life. Getting one or two readings in a clinic is not really【H8】of the fluctuations that occur throughout the day," Holt-Lunstad said.
Overall, happily married people scored four points【H9】on the blood pres- sure readings than single adults. The study also found that blood【H10】among married people—especially those in happy marriages【H11】more during sleep than in single people.
"Research has shown that people whose blood pressure remains high throughout the night are at【H12】greater risk of heart disease than people whose blood pressure drops," Holt Lunstad said.
The study was published in the March 20【H13】of the journal Annals of Behavioral Medicine.
The study also found that unhappily married adults have higher blood pressure than【H14】happily married and single adults.
Holt-Lunstad noted that married couples can encourage healthy habits in one【H15】such as eating a healthy diet and having regular doctor visits. People in happy marriages also have a source of emotional support, she said.

June is Fireworks Eye Safety Awareness Month, and through its Eye Smart campaign the American Academy of Ophthalmology wants to remind consumers to leave fireworks to professionals. "There is nothing worse than a Fourth of July celebration ruined by someone being hit in the eye with a bottle rocket," said Dr. Johnc.Hagan, clinical correspondent for the Academy and an ophthalmologist at Discover Vision Centers in Kansas City. "A safe celebration means letting trained professionals handle fire- works while you enjoy the show."
According to the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 9,000 fireworks related injuries happen each year. Of these, nearly half are head-related in- juries, with nearly 30 percent of these injuries to the eye. One-fourth of fireworks eye injuries result in permanent vision loss or blindness. Children are the most common victims of firework abuse, with those fifteen years old or younger accounting for 50 percent of fireworks eye injuries in the United States. Dr. Hagan estimates that his practice sees more than 30 injuries each year from fireworks.
Even fireworks that many people consider safe represent a threat to the eyes. For children under the age of five, apparently harmless sparklers account for one-third of all fireworks injuries. Sparklers can bum at nearly 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
