ERabat, April 12 (Xinhua) —— About a billion people in the world today are still facing the danger of malaria(疟疾) and nearly two million people die of the illness yearly, said Prof. Marc Gentilini of France in Agadir, according to local newspaper reports.

Las Vagas, Nev. , Nov. 21 ——Fire swept from the kitchen through the Casino of the MGM Grand Hotel here just after dawn this morning, trapping about 3500 guests and employees. Local officials said that more than 80 people were killed, most dying of smoke taking in above the 20th floor of the 26-story hotel. At least two jumped to their deaths. Several hundred were injured.
There was little warning as the fire violently spread through the first and second floors with great strength. Thick black smoke through the hotel and rose 5,000 feet above the roof.
No alarm was sounded, according to fire officials, who said that equipment in the basement had been destroyed before the hand alarm was set off. Many guests said that they were awakened by knocks on the door or the sound of breaking glass as people sought safety from the smoke.

Sussex, May 26 (The Daily Mail) —— Mrs Myra Webb, who was told by doctors that she would never hear again, lived for six years in a world of silence.
But yesterday she heard a blackbird sing in the garden of her home at Brighton, Sussex. “My hearing is coming back ——and it's wonderful,”she said.
Mrs Webb, 26, is said to be the first woman in Britain to have her hearing brought back by acupuncture, the needle treatment widely practiced in China.
After six months' treatment she can listen to music again, carry on a conversation with the aid of a hearing aid, and she has got a job as a typist with the South Eastern Electricity Board.
“It's wonderful to hear people talk,” she said at her home in Stanstead Crescent, Woodingdean, Brighton.
Mrs Webb began to lose her hearing at the age of 12 after a serious illness. “By the age of 20 I had no hearing whatever. ”
“A friend told me about acupuncture and I went weekly for treatment. One night when I was in the kitchen I heard a weak sound and realized it was my musical kettle boiling. I went weak at the knees. My hearing has slowly improved since. ”

查看习题详情和答案>>When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, Leonard Bernstein gave a concert in Berlin, including Beethoven's Ode to Joy, with the word "Joy" changed to "Freedom" in the lyrics sung．The orchestra（管弦乐队）were drawn from both East and West Germany, as well as the United Kingdom, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States．
Freedom was in the air and it was not just for people． The wall between East and West Germany had also kept a large population of wild pigs within the eastern forests of Brandenburg．The wall's falling down made it easier for the big pigs—a very big one can weigh over 300 pounds—to leave the woodlands and walk into the town． Warm winters and easy access to food have helped the population increase． Now about 10,000 wild pigs walk around Berlin．
The nature of the beast has added to the boom（兴旺）．"The pigs are intelligent," says Marc Franusch, a spokesman for the Berlin forestry department． "They learn to use the neighborhoods．They get used to people, dogs, and traffic．"
The wild pigs tend to travel in small groups and have been found searching rubbish and gardens, feeding their piglets（小猪）in the shadow of parked cars, and crossing busy roads．On average, the animals are involved in one traffic accident every day． And despite the fact that it's illegal, some Berliners have been known to give the pigs food．
Though wild pigs are protected under German law, the city's forestry department is permitted to kill 2,000 of the creatures every year, targeting mostly young adult animals in forests surrounding Berlin． Pigs within city limits are only shot if they make an immediate threat．No humans have yet been seriously wounded by them, but local dogs have been the victims of their tusks． "The forestry department is not aiming to get rid of the pigs," explains Franusch, "but we do have to reduce dangerous situations．"
56．The concert in the first paragraph is given to ．
A．celebrate Bernstein's success
C．express people's joy for freedom
B．show the artists' delight of life
D．remind people of fighting for rights
57．The following factors contribute to the boom of wild pigs EXCEPT ．
A．warm winter B．adequate food
C．their own nature D．the Berlin Wall
58．From the text we can know that ．
A．it is against law to offer food to wild pigs
B．in Berlin people can never kill any wild pig
C．wild pigs each weigh more than three hundred pounds
D．traffic accidents are mainly caused by wild pigs in Berlin
59．The article mainly talks about ．
A．how wild pigs are living in Berlin
B．when wild pigs were united in Berlin
C．why wild pigs in Berlin increase so rapidly
D．what damage wild pigs have done to Berliners
