The Spanish Flu Epidemic
If you're worried about the possibility of a coming bird flu epidemic,you can take comfort in the fact that humanity has survived a similar influenza epidemic in the past.Starting its rounds at the end of World War I,the 1918 flu killed an estimated 50 million people.
Popularly known as the Spanish Flu,this type of influenza was far worse than your common cold.Normally,influenza only kills those who are more vulnerable to disease,such as newborns,the old or the sick.However,the Spanish Flu was prone to killing the young and healthy.Often it would disable its victims in hours;within a day,they would be dead,typically from extreme cases of pneumonia（肺炎）.
The Spanish Flu was quite nasty-fast-spreading and deadly.It managed to spread across the globe,devastating the world.Then suddenly,after two years ravaging（蹂躏）the Earth,it disappeared as quickly as it had arisen.
Despite its nickname,the Spanish Flu did not originate in Spain.Its true origins are unknown.Some believe it started in US forts and then spread to Europe as America joined the war;others think that it populated the trenches of the English and the French and eventually broke out in 1918.Regardless of where it started,eventually a fifth of the world population suffered the disease,with a global mortality rate（死亡率）estimated at 2.5% of the population.
Modernity was partly to blame for the quick spread of the disease.It passed throughout the world on trade routes and shipping lines.It hit Northern America,Europe,Asia,Africa and the South Pacific.The war did not help at all-the movement of supplies and troops aided the spread of the Spanish Flu,as well as the trench warfare.Imagine the speed at which a virus can spread in a crowded ditch.The fast emergence of the virus in the trenches caused some soldiers to believe that the Spanish Flu was a new form of biological warfare.
Luckily,the Spanish Flu simply vanished by 1920.It is believed the flu simply ran out of fuel to spread.
16.The Spanish Flu started during World War I.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
17.The Spanish Flu posed a greater threat to the old and the sick.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
18.As the Spanish Flu was spreading,people in Australia were worried.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
19.The Spanish Flu disappeared two years after it broke out.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
20.The Spanish Flu was named after the place where it started.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
21.About half of the people in the world suffered from the Spanish Flu.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
22.Biological warfare originated in the 20th century.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned

Facts about Stroke
1Every 45 seconds,someone in America has a stroke.Every 3.1 minutes,someone dies of one.Stroke killed an estimated 167,661 people in 2000 and is the nation's third leading cause of death,ranking behind diseases of the heart and all forms of cancer.Stroke is a leading cause of serious,long-term disability in the United States.
2Stroke is a type of cardiovascular（心血管的）disease.It affects the arteries（动脉）leading to and within the brain.A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients（营养物）to the brain is either blocked by a clot（凝块）or bursts.When that happens,part of the brain cannot get the blood（and oxygen）it needs,so it starts to die.
3The brain is an extremely complex organ that controls various body functions.If a stroke occurs and blood flow can't reach the region that controls a particular body function,that part of the body won't work as it should.If the stroke occurs toward the back of the brain,for instance,it's likely that some disability involving vision will result.The effects of a stroke depend primarily on the location of the obstruction（阻塞）and the extent of brain tissue affected.
4The American Stroke Association has identified several factors that increase the risk of stroke.The more risk factors a person has,the greater the chance that he or she will have a stroke.Some of these you can't control,such as increasing age,family health history,race,and prior stroke.But you can change or treat other risk factors to lower your risk.Factors resulting from lifestyle or environment can be modified with a healthcare provider's help.Some of these include:high blood pressure,current smoking,heart disease,and high red blood cell count.
5A stroke can happen to anyone at any moment.In fact about 600,000 people have strokes every year.For many years,there was no hope for those suffering a stroke.However,recent breakthroughs have led to new treatments.For the treatments to work,the person must get to a hospital immediately.
