30、number of influenza-like cases. Influenza is sometimes called “flu“ or a “bad cold“. He took samples from the throats of patients and in his hospital was able to find the virus of this influenza.There are three main types of the influenza virus. The most important of these are type A and B, each of

31、them having several subgroups. With the instruments at the hospital the doctor recognized that the outbreak was due to a virus in group A, but he did not know the subgroup. Then he reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva. WHO published the important news alongside reports of

32、 a similar outbreak in Hong Kong, where about 15%-20% the population became ill.As soon as the London doctors received the package of throat samples, doctors began the standard tests. They found that by reproducing itself with very high speed, the virus had grown more than a million times within two

33、 days. Continuing their careful tests, the doctors checked the effect of drugs against all the known subgroups of virus type A. None of them gave any protection. This, then, was something new, a new influenza virus, against which the people of the world had no help whatever.Having found the virus th

34、ey were working with, the two doctors now dropped it into the noses of some specially selected animals, which get influenza much as human beings do. In a short time, the usual signs of the disease appeared. These experiments proved that the new virus was easy to catch, but that it was not a killer.

35、Scientists, like the general public, call it simply Asian flu.The first discovery of the virus, however, was made in China before the disease had appeared in other countries. Various report showed that the influenza outbreak started in China, probably in February of 1957. By the middle of March it h

36、ad spread all over China. The virus was found by Chinese doctors early in March. But China is not a member of the World Health Organization and therefore does not report outbreaks of disease to it. Not until two months later, when travellers, carried the virus into Hong Kong, from where it spread to

37、 Singapore, did the news of the outbreak reach the rest of the world. By this time it was well started on its way around the world.Thereafter, WHOs Weekly Reports described the steady spread of this great virus outbreak, which within four months swept through every continent.（分数：5.00）(1).The doctor

38、in Singapore performed a valuable service by _. A. finding the subgroup of the virus B. developing a cure C. keeping his patients apart from others D. reporting the outbreak to Geneva（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The type of influenza discussed in this story _.

40、数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The experiments on animals proved that this type of influenza was easy to catch _. A. and could possibly cause death B. and had rather mild effects C. but was not deadly D. and did not have the usual signs（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The purpose of the article is to _. A. report on a new

41、influenza virus B. show international co-operation is important to progress C. comment on the discovery of an anti-influenza virus D. prove the bad effects of travelling（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.Telecommutingsubstituting the computer for the trip to the jobhas been hailed as a solution to all kinds of proble

42、ms related to office work. For workers it promises freedom from the office, less time wasted in traffic, and help with performers on board, minimizes tardiness and absenteeism by eliminating commutes, allows periods of solitude for high-concentration tasks, and provides scheduling flexibility. In so

43、me areas, such as Southern California and Seattle, Washington, local governments are encouraging companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush-hour congestion and improve air quality. But these benefits do not come easily. Making a telecommuting program work requires careful plan

44、ning and an understanding of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images. Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions of life as a telecommuter. A computer programmer from New York City moves to the tranquil Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office via computer

45、 A manager comes into his office three days a week and works at home the other two. An accountant stays home to care for her sick child; she hooks up her telephone modem connections and does office work between calls to the doctor. These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of rea

46、lity. Telecommuting workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a young child at the same time. Before a certain age, young children cannot recognize much less respect, the necessary boundaries between work and family. Additional child support is necessary if

47、the parent is to get any work done. Management, too, must separate the myth from the reality. Although the media has paid a great deal of attention to telecommuting, in most cases it is the employees situation, not the availability of technology, which precipitates a telecommuting arrangement. That is partly why, despite the
