It was a Devonshire farmer called Ben Jesty, who lived more than two hundred years ago, who began PREPARED BY ĐỖ BÌNH – THPT LIỄN SƠN, LẬP THẠCH, VĨNH PHÚC – www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 the development of vaccination as a method of protecting people against many diseases. In 1774 there was a severe outbreak of the disease smallpox in his local village. He already knew of the traditional belief that an attack of cowpox gave people protection against smallpox and he saw proof of this at this time. Two of his farm workers had previously developed cowpox sores on their hands through milking infected cows and had then nursed their own families through the smallpox outbreak without catching the disease themselves. Jesty had already had cowpox, but his wife and their two young children had not. Concerned for their safety, he scratched their arms with a large needle and then put fluid from the cowpox sores on an infected cow into these scratches. Although the Jesty family were criticized by local people who thought that this experiment' was morally wrong, they never caught smallpox . But the real breakthrough came some twenty years later in 1796 when Edward Jenner, an English country doctor, made the first scientific approaches to the subject of protection against disease by vaccination methods. His experiments proved the value of vaccination with material from cowpox sores, and he also found that using material from an infected human on another human produced only a small sore at the spot where the treatment had been carried out and very few other signs of the disease. It was at about this time, too, that the now familiar name 'vaccine' for the material used in the process of 'vaccination' - from the Latin name for cowpox, 'vaccinia' (the Latin 'Vacca' means ‘cow'! -came into use. Tenner's vaccination techniques spread across the world faster than the disease itself. Napoleon had his troops vaccinated and in Russia the first child to be vaccinated was given the name 'Vaccinof'. President Jefferson of the United States said in a letter to Tenner, 'Future nations will know by history only that the terrible disease of smallpox existed and that it has been destroyed by you.' Forward -looking words indeed! In 1980, the World Health Assembly officially declared that smallpox had completely disappeared from the world. Câu 60: What important thing did Ben Jesty realize? A. Cows did not catch smallpox. B. There was no difference between cowpox and smallpox. C. Farm workers often caught cowpox. D. people who had had cowpox did not catch smallpox. Câu 61: The local people thought that what Jesty did was_____. A. sensible. B. foolish. C. scientific. D. wicked. Câu 62: Why did Edward Jenner become famous? A. He started the development of vaccination. B. He proved that vaccination worked. C. He travelled round the world vaccinating people. D. He persuaded most people in Europe to be vaccinated. Câu 63: Jenner's techniques were_____. A. adopted very rapidly throughout the world. B. successful in getting rid of smallpox in his lifetime. C. too advanced for people to accept at the time. D. neglected for almost two hundred years. Câu 64: Why did the word 'vaccine' come into use? A. 'Vaccine' was the traditional country name for smallpox. B. The earliest 'vaccine' was used to protect cows. C. The first child to be treated with a 'vaccine' was called Vaccinof. D. The Latin name for cowpox was 'vaccinia'. PHẦN TỰ LUẬN: (2 điểm) I.

Topic: Factories in residential areas produce both positive and negative effects to people’s lives. Do you agree or disagree? If a large factory is going to be built near your community, is it good or bad? It’s a quite difficult question to answer. Because there are many aspects to take into your consideration - the advantages and the disadvantages. Let’s talk about that. PREPARED BY ĐỖ BÌNH – THPT LIỄN SƠN, LẬP THẠCH, VĨNH PHÚC – www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 First, a large factory, especially a large chemical factory is quite harmful to our environment when it is built near our community. It will affect our daily life a lot. All the chemical factories will produce a lot of waste and most of the wastes are harmful to the environment, including poisonous gas and liquid. Some of them cannot be entirely broken down. If they are released into the air or the river, it will affect our health. And also the factory may produce a lot of noise. The environment we want to live in is a quiet and peaceful one, so the noise will be quite boring. And yes, noise also affects our health. Still one thing, a factory can be very dangerous. Because a fire or a explosion may break out in the factory. If it’s very near our home, it’s quite dangerous. But in other hand, a factory may be a good news to us. It can provide more jobs for us, especially for the young people in our community. Since the factory is near, it’s so convenient to go to work, and the factory will get more chances to our area. It will help to develop our area. So if the factory can bring us a lot of chances, we will agree to build one. But the most important things are: 1. Build the factory in a safe distance from our community, not too near. 2. Make sure that the factory can deal with the waste properly. Do not release the poisonous gas into the air, and not release the waste water into the river nearby. 3. Make sure the security guard in the factory works very well.
