For well over a thousand years, smallpox was a disease that everyone feared. The disease killed much of the native population in South America when the Spanish arrived there in the early sixteenth century. By the end of the eighteenth century, smallpox was responsible for about one in ten deaths around the world. Those who survived the disease were left with ugly scars on their skin.
It had long been well known among farmers that people who worked with cows seldom caught smallpox; instead, they often caught a similar but much milder disease called cowpox (牛痘) . A British doctor called Jenner was extremely interested in this, and so he studied cowpox. He believed that, by vaccinating (给接种疫苗) people with the disease, he could protect them against the much worse disease smallpox. In 1796, he vaccinated a boy with cowpox and, two months later, with smallpox. The boy did not get smallpox. In the next two years, Jenner vaccinated several children in the same way, and none of them got the disease.
News of the success of Jenner’s work soon spread. Vaccination soon became a common method to protect people against other diseases caused by virus, such as rabies (狂犬病), and vaccines were sent across the world to the United States and India.
It took nearly two centuries to achieve Jenner’s dream of getting free of smallpox from the whole world. In 1967, the world Health Organization (WHO) started a great vaccination program, and the last known case of smallpox was recorded in Somalia in 1977. The story of vaccinations does not end there, however. There are many other diseases that kill more and more people every year. Besides, many new diseases are being discovered. The challenge for medical researchers will, therefore, probably continue for several more centuries

A.its death rate was up to ten percent

B.stop people from getting smallpox
C.protect people against any disease
D.prevent people’s scars after smallpox
【小题3】Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A.The first experiment with cowpox was made by a British doctor.
B.After 1977 smallpox disappeared around the world according to WHO.

  Often, I wonder why people like Michael Jordan and O.J.Simpson are considered heroes.People will say that Jordan and Simpson are heroes because they are good   1   to young people.They are two incredibly gifted men who play their   2   sports with tremendous heart and determination.They have shown   3   and personality at all times on and off the court and they’ve   4   millions of people.Mentioned as well will be that Jordan is basketball’s greatest player, and Simpson   5   among the greatest running backs in football history.However, the question remains, are they really heroes?

  Perhaps Jordan is a hero because he has an incredible gambling   6   losing up to two million dollars per day.And he has repeatedly stated that   7   he is the National Basketball Association’s highest paid player in 1997 he will retire permanently.

  For years O.J.Simpson was known as the“Greatest American Hero”.And people of all ages   8   with him and idolized him.He was the greatest running back to ever play for the Buffalo Bills and became an instant movie star.  9  , it took two brutal murders, and a few 911 tapes to show the country   10   our hero really was.He is a wife beater and an accused murderer.  11   being acquitted(宣告无罪)for double murder, he has done nothing but attempt to   12   selling infomercials.

  Jordan and Simpson are not   13   role models.They are past and present athletes who have used their   14   abilities to become national superstars.  15   people see Jordan slam the door and they wanted to be like him.This is   16   parents would tell their children that these athletes can be   17   for their exceptional talent in sports, but   18   they live their lives   19   the court is what separates them from   20   heroes.
