  Dr.Jack M.Gwaltney, Jr.a professor at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, infected six student volunteers with virus, the most common cause of colds.A few days later, when they were coughing and sneezing, he gathered 37 more people and divided them into three groups.Group 1 members spent three days and nights in the same room with one of the infected students, separated by a screen so they couldn't touch one another.Group 2 sat around a table while an infected volunteer talked, coughed and sang to them.Group 3 held hands with an infected student for ten seconds, and then touched their own noses or eyes.

  Although most scientists at the time, the mid-70s, believed colds were spread by virus-laden droplets spread through the air when infected people coughed or sneezed, Gwaltney suspected physical contact might play an important role.Sure enough, of the 15 people who had touched a student volunteer, 11 became infected-compared with only one of those who had been sitting at the table, and none who had spent three days and nights together.

  "The best evidence we have is that hand-to-hand contact is the most efficient way of transmitting virus," says Gwaltney.The study was one of a series that helped establish Gwaltney's reputation as a leading authority.

  Dr.Robert Couch says, "It would not be inappropriate to call him Mr.Common Cold."

  When Gwaltney is asked how close scientists are to finding a cure, he replies:"If you mean ‘get rid of', I don't think we're going to be able to do that with cold viruses any time soon.But if you look in the dictionary, you'll see that 'cure' is explained as a successful treatment.And we're not just getting more effective at treating the symptoms(症状)-we're getting at the root cause too."

[  ]

A.

find out the most common cause of colds

B.

infect the student volunteer

C.

find out the role physical contact plays in the common colds

touching the infected person

C.

sitting together with the infected person

  A picture, a calender or even a balloon may be the best way for millions of people living in China's vast country areas to learn about AIDS, one of the biggest threats to public health in the world today.

  China has decided to use user-friendly methods including exhibitions, VCDs and TV programmes to spread knowledge of the disease across the nation to try to keep it in check.

  Educating people nationwide about AIDS is the top priority(the thing that you think is most important) to prevent the disease from getting out of hand. The farmers will be given knowledge in the easiest way that they can understand.

  A recent survey from the commission of more than 7 000 people in China showed that nearly 20 percent of them had never heard of AIDS. Just over 71 percent said they knew AIDS was highly infectious, but most d them had no clear idea of how the disease could be spread. Just over 62 percent said they knew they could do things in advance to prevent them catching AIDS but they didn't know what these measures were.

  The month-long survey, carried out last December, talked to people in seven countries and cities across China including both developed coastal areas and the less-developed inland areas. The interviewees ranged from 15 to 49 years old, and country residents were about 63 % of the total surveyed.

  Chinese residents, especially those in the country, have very little knowledge about what AIDS is all about, not to mention prevention and treatment. By the end of last year, there were 22517 known HIV/AIDS cases in China. However, more than 6000000 people in China have been infected.

  Since 1985, China has discovered 880 patients with AIDS — 466 of them have died. Sharing needles, prostitution and contaminated blood transfusions are major ways for HIV to spread. A lack of education has been the biggest difficulty against nationwide efforts to prevent AIDS, especially in the countryside.

1.After reading the passage, we know that ________.

[  ]

A.AIDS is not serious in the Chinese mainland

B.Most people in the country don't know what AIDS is

C.China has taken many measures to control AIDS

D.TV programs are the only useful way in spreading knowledge of AIDS in the countryside

2.The author's purpose in writing the passage is to ________.

[  ]

A.show his concern about the health of people

B.make people know the fact that AIDS is terrible

C.call on people to fight against AIDS

D.tell us people are short of knowledge of AIDS

3.The greatest difficulty against nationwide effort to prevent AIDS lies in ________.

[  ]

A.people's misunderstanding

B.the shortage of money

C.its infection

D.a lack of education

4.“Since 1985, China has discovered 880 patients with AIDS—466 of them had died”do you know why?

[  ]

A.Because their families refused to cure them.

B.Because they had been in low spirits for a long time.

C.Because there weren't enough effective measures to treat AIDS .

D.Because they couldn't lead a normal life like other healthy people.

5.It is judged that there are ________ people hit by AIDS in China at present.

[  ]

A.22527
B.over 6000000
C.880
D.over 7000

     CUTS AND SCRAPES
      When the skin isn't broken, it's hard to beat iodine (碘酒) for killing bacteria(细菌). 3. _____________
doctors use it to clean before surgery. But when there's a cut, full - strength iodine and rubbing alcohol can
be harmful to skin cells, preventing healing. Putting iodine on cuts and wounds kills bacteria, but it won't clean
the wound. The most effective way is washing the wound with water.

burn, but it can cause infection and create and environment for bacterial growth. Run the burn under cool

. Wrap the burn with a
bandage, and keep it clean and dry. If blisters (水泡) form, don't break them.
      POISONING
     When a child swallows anything poisonous, parents probably think they're well prepared if ipecac (催吐

substance, but not any more because it doesn't always remove the toxic substance (有毒物质). That may
cause dehydration (脱水) and prevent doctors from giving other treatments.

cloth, event if it gets black. If necessary, add more cloths. If that's not enough, you can further slow the
blood flow by applying pressure to the main artery (动脉) of the upper arm or leg.
