READING Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Diseases are a natural part of life on Earth If there were no diseases, the population would grow too quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources So in a way, diseases are nature's way of keeping the Earth in balance But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six months Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight In 1918, a new type of flu virus appeared Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and killed large numbers of people While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have a few things in common
First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily Second, while they may kill many people, they generally not kill people very quickly A good example of this would be the Marburg virus The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease In addition, it is deadly About 70-80% of all the people who get the Marburg virus die from the disease
However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread to a large number of people The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread
While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common Doctors carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics For example, in 2002 and 2003, doctors carefully watched SARS Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic
Question This passage is mainly about .
A how to prevent pandemic diseases B pandemic diseases C pandemic diseases throughout history D why pandemics happen
Question Based on the information in the passage the term “pandemics” can best be explained as _. A diseases with no cure B diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of people C a deadly kind of flu D new diseases like SARS or the Marburg virus
Question According to the passage, what causes pandemics? A Changes in a disease that the body cannot fight
B Careless doctors who not watch the spread of diseases C Population growth that the world cannot support
(13)Question The word “it” in the passage refers to .
A disease B flu virus C pandemics D bodies Question The author mentions SARS in order to .
A give an example of a highly dangerous disease B suggest that SARS will never become a pandemic
C give an example of the successful prevention of a pandemic D suggest that there may be a new pandemic soon

Moreover, festivals display the demand for creativity and enjoyment of spiritual and material cultural values of all social strata They become a form of education under which fine traditional moral values can be handed from one generation to the next in a unique way of combining spiritual characters with competition and entertainment games Festivals are also the time people can express their sadness and worries in a wish that gods might bestow favour on them to help them strive for a better life
