Recently the World Health Organization announced that the disease of smallpox（天花）had almost been wiped out in most parts of the world, thanks to widespread vaccination（種牛痘）. Most people are vaccinated at least once in their lives and if they wish to travel from one country to another they must be able to prove that they have had a recent vaccination. In this way the disease has been prevented from spreading and today one seldom hears of it at all.

This is mainly because of the great discovery made by a village doctor, Edward Jenner, in about 1798 when he published his report of his new experiment called vaccination (from the word ‘vacca’ meaning a cow). Jenner discovered that people who worked with cattle often suffered from a harmless disease which they caught from the cattle, but these people never seemed to get smallpox. So he experimented by putting the disease into a small opening on the arms of healthy people, and though their arms became painful for a day or two, they soon recovered and none of these people ever got smallpox.

So the news of the wonderful discovery spread to other countries and people

rushed to their doctors to be vaccinated. In many countries the simple way to deal with the arm was done on thousands of people, and the terrible smallpox began to disappear.

71．Vaccination against smallpox has been so successful that _________ .

A．the discoverer made a large amount of money

B．Dr Jenner was given a prize by the World Health Organization

C．smallpox has almost disappeared in most countries

D．smallpox was no longer in existence on earth

72 ．Smallpox has been prevented from spreading through the following measures EXCEPT that _____.

A．most people were vaccinated against the disease at least once

B．people going abroad should promise not to spread the disease

C．people travelling from one country to another must prove they

   are vaccinated

D．people must be vaccinated shortly before going to foreign countries

73 ．What led Dr Jenner to experiment with vaccination was that ________ .　

A．he wanted to make a great discovery and publish it

B．vaccination could make people's arms safe

C．he tried to cure the farmers of some disease caught from the cattle

D．those who worked with cattle seemed free from getting smallpox

74．The doctor's new discovery was called ‘vaccination’ for the reason that ________ .

A．he discovered smallpox near a farm

B．he experimented with a disease from the cattle

C．he was working with cattle in the countryside

D．people got the disease of smallpox from the cattle

75．The news of the discovery ________.

A．caught people's attention from all corners of the world

B．spread far and near in the western countries

C．made people rush to Dr Jenner for vaccination

D．helped to get rid of the terrible disease of smallpox

It happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US President. The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a wonderfully written book.” However, he then proceeded to talk about Mr. Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar(說(shuō)謊者)．
And it seems that he is not the only one. Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In The World Book Day survey, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading. As I’m not one to lie too often, I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire ten books. But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s absolutely outstanding．
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to. This could be difficult if the conversation became more in-depth!
The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it. It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens and so on. But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, they named JK Rowling, Jilly Cooper, and Stephen King. Forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story．
So which books have you lied about reading —if any — and which is your favorite?
【小題1】The main reason why people lie about reading is to __________.         

A．make fun of the listenerB．impress the listener
C．please the listenerD．interest the listener
【小題2】The underlined word “proceeded” in the passage probably means“___________”.
A．wantedB．happenedC．continuedD．stopped
【小題3】What is the best title for the passage?
A．Are You A Book Liar?B．Readers Are All Liars
C．World Book DayD．Dreams From My Father

Dear Editor,
I’m a middle school student naming Lily. I’m writing to tell you something I don’t think it good. Recently I’ve noticed many of my classmates often went to the Internet bar near our school. The other day I went there, too. I was very surprising to see many students playing games, seeing films and chatting. Some were even talking about love affairs on-line. In my opinion, an Internet bar should be a place which we can find much useful information. As is known to all that the Internet is a window to an outside world rather than a place for games. The Internet is good if we make good use it. Otherwise, it will do us great harm. So the local government should take measure to make sure that the students use Internet bars positively.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

It’s natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave. ____1._______ But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?

Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees of your body language doesn’t? match the feeling that your face shows.? 2.? Previously, they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.”

???? When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies(with faces blurred out)that showed anger or fear. ___3._____

???? An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. ____4._____? A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.

???? These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly influences which emotion they read.

? ?? 5.? And if you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.

Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.

A. So, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.

B. Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.

C. An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.

D. Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.

F. They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies.
