ERATH WEEK---A DIARY OF THE PLANET
Enduring Storms
Several more rounds of severe storms, tornadoes and flash flooding struck many parts of the American Midwest and Northeast as bad weather continued across the US for a second month.   

Monsoon Storms
A south-west monsoon has caused havoc in parts of Sri Lanka. Government meteorologists said that unexpected monsoonal winds blew directly across the country from the Southern Hemisphere at about 100km/h, producing several rounds of stormy weather. Nearly 250 houses in the capital Colombo were damaged.
Mt. Etna Erupts
Sicily’s Mount Etna volcano erupted shortly after midnight on July 1, shooting “bombs” of lava nearly 1.5 meters in diameter on the eastern side of the mountain. The 30-minute eruption could be seen for several miles, but did not threaten any nearby villages.
Hurricane
Hurricane Blas lost strength as it moved over cooler waters in the Pacific Ocean to the west of Mexico. Blas formed off southwest Mexico during the previous week, but squalls on the outer fringes of the storm lashed western Michoacan State, killing four people when their wood and cardboard home collapsed.
Monkey Repellent
After years of unsuccessful attempts to keep crop-eating monkeys out of Japanese fields, a Tokyo research team believes that it may have finally found a way to prevent the damage caused by the monkeys. Animal raids on crops were successfully prevented by shooting chilli powder into the air, irritating the eyes and noses of monkeys that passed in front of carefully-placed warning sensors. “We’ve tried al kinds of preventive measures, but the monkeys are smart enough to outwit the tricks, “said Toshiaki Wada, Director of the Tokyo Forestry Experiment Station in western Tokyo.

Counterfeit ( 假的) medicines are a widespread problem in developing countries. Like other counterfeits, they look like real products. But counterfeit drugs may contain too little or none of the active ingredients of the real thing.

People do not get the medicine they need. And in some cases counterfeits cause death. Twenty children in Bangladesh died last year after being given acetaminophen(醋氨酚). The medications contained ingredients that looked, smelled and tasted like the real thing. The medicine was produced by a local drug company that used a dangerous substitute to save money.

The problem of counterfeit medicines is especially serious in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The W.H.O. estimates that up to thirty percent of medicines on sale in many of those countries are counterfeit. The problem is less widespread among industrialized countries. The W.H.O. says counterfeits make up less than one percent of the illegal drug market in countries like the United States, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand.

But the agency also says as much as fifty percent of the medicine sold on the Internet is counterfeit.

Much is being done to fight counterfeit drugs. Several companies are developing ways to make counterfeits easier to identify. And there are existing methods, like a machine that can quickly identify chemicals in pills to confirm if the pills are real. Other ideas include things like special tracking codes for drug packages. People could send a text message with the code and get a message back, which proves that what they bought is listed in a database. Some drug makers and other companies put three-dimensional images called holograms (全息圖)on their products as a security device.

1.Last year twenty children in Bangladesh died because of _____.

A．online medicines                       B．unreal drugs

C．a(chǎn)cetaminophen                         D．unclean water

2.We can draw a conclusion from the passage that______.

A．it is very cheap and convenient to buy medicines online.

B．medicine companies don’t pay much attention to counterfeit drugs.

C．more and more people will buy products online.

D．we had better not buy medicines online.

3.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．It reveals the reasons why counterfeit drugs are widespread.

B．Some measures are being taken to fight counterfeit drugs.

C．Special tracking codes for drug packages are used to identify counterfeits.

D．It shows the danger of counterfeit drugs.

The world hash’t seen a pandemic（流行疾�。﹊n 4 1 years，when the”Hong Kong”flu crossed the globe and killed about one million people worldwide．If H1N1 flu（甲型流感）reaches pandemic levels，what would happen next?

       The outbreak of SARS in 2003 rang alarm bells as potential pandemics．Although it jumped the”animal-to·human”barrier，neither disease changed enough to enable human-to．Human infection．Strictly speaking，SARS did not become pandemics because it was too good at killing their hosts．For a pandemic，it needs to be able to maintain human-to．human contact without killing its host off．

       ”H1N1 flu is already a man-to-man disease，which makes it much more difficult to manage．

       And H1N1 flu appears much more infectious than SARS．

       But the WHO warns，it cannot say whether or not it will indeed cause a pandemic．According to experts，here’s what the world might see if there is another pandemic，based on past experience．

       The disease would skip from city to city over an 18-to-24 month period，infecting more than a third of the population．World health Organization officials believe as many as 1．5 billion people around the globe would seek medical care and nearly 30 million would seek hospitalization．Based on the last pandemic and current world population，as many as 7 million people could die．Hospitals will become overcrowded；schools will close；businesses will close；airports will be empty．Business will become very bad，as people avoid as much social contact as possible．

       Health facilities will become overrun with patients and there would be less-than-adequate staffing，as medical health professionals fall ill themselves and that would result in higher deaths．

       The very young and very old will likely be the most susceptible（易受感染的）to the illness．Experts warn，much is still unknown about the current H1N1 flu virus and its severity and it is too early to say whether it will lead to a pandemic．Right now，the focus is on finding answers and controlling the spread．

1.How many kinds of disease is mentioned in the passage?

       A．Two      B．Three           C．Four        D．Five

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

       A．SARS didn’t change enough to enable sustained（持續(xù)的）human-to—human infection．

       B．SARS was very good at killing its carriers．

       C．A man with H1N1 flu can not infect another man easily．

       D．Comparing SARS and H 1N 1 flu，SARS is not as infectious．

3.What can we know about the “Hong Kong” flu from the passage?

       A．It spread all around the globe and killed lots of people．

       B．It killed about millions of people．

       C．It killed about one million people in Hong Kong．

       D．Not the old but the young were susceptible to it and got killed．

4.What can be inferred from the passage?

       A．The H1N1 flu will skip from city to city over an 18一to一24 month period．

       B．Doctors and nurses will fall ill themselves，which will result in many more deaths．

       C．Every country is taking measures to stop the H1N1 flu from leading to a pandemic．

       D．The WHO and experts have known much about the current H1N1 flu virus．
