[2017 · 安徽省江南十校高三下学期开年第一考]

Whenever the word “hero” comes to me, I immediately think of three Hs: honourable, hard­working, and happy.When I think more about this word, I picture someone who has accomplished good things for people and tries to do the right thing. Hattie Elizabeth Alexander is one person whom I find to be very heroic.

Hattie was born in Baltimore, Maryland on April 5, 1901.During her time at College she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Bacteriology and Physiology.These were just the first steps towards what she was finally going to be remembered for.After college Hattie attended the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and received her medical degree.

After her education, she pursued her career, and after much time and hard work, she drastically reduced the number of infants (幼儿) dying from meningitis (脑膜炎)．Hattie was very dedicated to her work and helped at as many locations as she could.Spending substantial (大量的) time in the labouratory, Hattie successfully developed a cure against the disease, which decreased the death rate to 20 per cent.At the same time, she was also a teacher working with Columbia University.

She was a caring lady interested in other people's lives.When she was teaching at Columbia University, other members would talk to her about students that were failing their classes, and somehow Hattie could always find convincing reasons as to why they should not be driven away.Later, Hattie became an instructor in Pediatrics at New York City's Babies Hospital.After many honours, she became the first woman president of the American Pediatric Society in 1965.This was her last major achievement, for soon after, Hattie died of cancer on June 24, 1968.

Hattie is my hero because her positive attitude and strength helped her accomplish great things for others.She gave them her strength by developing medicines against diseases, which, by doing so, made them stronger.This is what makes Hattie Elizabeth Alexander my hero.
