42、re treating an unusual number of influenza-like cases. Influenza is sometimes called “flu“ or a “bad cold“. He took samples from the throats of patients in his hospital and was able to find the virus of this influenza. There are three main types of the influenza virus. The most important of these ar
43、e type A and B, each of 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
44、news alongside reports of a similar outbreak in Hong Kong, where about 15-20 percent of the population had become ill.

48、uary 1957. By the middle March it had spread all over China. The virus was found by Chinese doctors early in March. But China is not a member of the WHO and therefore does not report outbreaks of disease to it. Not until two months later, when travelers carried the virus into Hong Kong, from where i
49、t spread to Singapore, did the news of the outbreak reach the rest of the world. By this time it was well on its way around the world. 61 The influenza outbreak in this story began in_. （ A） Singapore （ B） China （ C） Hong Kong （ D） India 62 Without counting the subgroups, there are_type(s) of influenza. （ A） one （ B） two （ C） three （ D） four 63 The doctor in Singapore performed a valuable service by_. （ A） finding the subgroup of the virus （ B） developing a cure
