I then, off to my left heard a 45 basically chewing me out (责骂) for how I had lived my life to that point and that “GOD doesnt take 46 sitters.” The “voice” then stated “go back and experience the 47 youve caused to others!” 6 days later I awoke, and found out my heart had stopped en route to the hospital and that I nearly 48 ! When I 49 , my wife, my rock Petra is her name, was there at that moment!

To tell netizens of online registrationB Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. At age 75, Fauci has served under five presidents during histenure (任期). His advice is sought all over the world when infectious diseases threaten to become public health crises. He says, when considering the history of public andglobalhealth, vaccines could be the most important intervention that has ever been developed for any public health issue. That was the case with the serious disease caused by the West Nile Virus. West Nile Virus was never in the United States until 1999. It was in the West Nile area of Africa and in the Middle East and it came over to the United States, likely through a mosquito, or a bird, or a person who was infected. And we had a few cases for the first couple of years and then we had anoutbreaka couple of years after it arrived and now, itscommon at a low level in the United States. It isnt a major public health threat, but it is enough of an issue that we get enough cases each year and thats the reason why we have to have good mosquito control. We tried to make a vaccine, and would have made a vaccine, for West Nile years ago, but we couldnt find apharmaceuticalcompany that was interested in partnering with us.Today, another virus spread by mosquitoes, the Zika virus, is an issue of concern to the world. Zika outbreaks are currently happening in many countries and territories. The mosquitoes that can spread Zika live in many parts of the world, including parts of the United States. What people need to understand about Zika is its important to protect pregnant women. It is likely that Zika was in Africa and in Southeast Asia for decades and decades before we had the first recognized outbreak. In the United States, we have close to 700 already travel-related cases. Weve had local outbreaks of dengue (登革热) and chikungunya (基孔肯雅病) in Florida and in Texas and weve been able to successfully contain them. I believe we need to do the same thing, and will do the same thing, with Zika. Fauci will tell you he is a proud workaholic. That means he enjoys working a lot. He works 7 days a week. He says there are many difficult problems in his work. However, just as important as his job, is his health. He is adevotedrunner. Fauci has run severalmarathonsand many 10-kilometer races. He also makes sure that, every day, he does something related to exercise. Fauci hopes that one day it will become possible toeliminatecontrollable infectious diseases. I want to see the elimination of polio (小儿麻痹症). I want to see HIV no longer be an epidemic, as we know it. I want to see aneraof the end of AIDS. I dont think well ever be able to completely eliminate infectious disease, thats unreasonable. But we can do a lot more toalleviatethe suffering associated with infectious diseases.58. What did Fauci once experience? A. He has served as five presidents of USA. B. He invented the vaccines against AIDS. C. He was infected by the West Nile Virus. D. He carried out some research on Zika.59. According to the context, what is the same medium of West Nile Virus and Zika? A. A mosquito B. A bird C. Pregnant women D. Polluted water60. Which of the following about Zika is WRONG? A. There were local outbreaks of Zika in the USA. B. Zika could be controlled eventually in some way. C. Zika has existed relatively longer out of the USA. D. Less than 700 cases of Zika was found until now. 61. Which word can replace the underlined word “alleviate” in the last paragraph? A. Reproduce B. Relieve C. Reject D. RenewC Only 60 percent of students seeking abachelors degreeat an American college or university finish their study program within six years. That information comes from the United States Department of Education. It was part of a report released in May. The report talks about full-time students who attended a four-year college or university for the first time in 2008. It states that 60 percent of them completed their degree program by 2014. Experts say there are many reasons why this number is so low. But many schools are looking for ways to increase the graduationrate. For example, every American college or university requires students to identify the main subject, or major, of their studies. After all their requirements have been met, students receive their degree in that major. Some universities require individuals to declare a major at the beginning of their studies. Other schools let students wait until their second year. Changing majors is also acceptable. But some experts argue against changing majors. They note it may cause students to take more time to complete their degree program. However, a new study suggests that students who change their majors may be more likely to graduate. The Education Advisory Board (EAB) released the report on the study last month. The board studies higher education and tries to help American colleges and universities make improvements. The study was based on information gathered from over 78,000 college students. It looked at the graduation rate of students who changed majors within the first four years of study. On average, their graduation rate was between about four to six percent higher than students who never changed majors. The report also suggests that changing majors within the first three years of study has little to no effect on the average time it takes students to complete their degree. The EABs senior director Ed Venit wrote the report. He would not comment on whether or not college students should change majors. But he said that about 80 percent of students do change at some point. Venit also said it is not completely clear why changing majors might help students. But he thinks some people become more invested in their studies once they have had time to decide what they truly want to do. Students who chose a major early on: maybe they didnt have full information about what they wanted to do. Maybe they just picked something that felt familiar . or their parents pushed them to something, whatever it might be. But maybe they didnt make a full choice early on. . Those students were only, perhap
