Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesn't matter where you live - in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village - the chances that you will be disturbed by jet airplanes, transistor radios, oil-powered engines , etc, are almost everywhere . We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they are working.
Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be very frightening experience for human beings. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums. The noise level in some disco is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.
One recent report about noise and concentration suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really affects their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise .It goes on to say that a background noise , which doesn't change too much (music, for example) may even help people to concentrate .

In 1957 a doctor in Singapore noticed that hospitals were treating an unusual number of influenza-like cases. Influenza is sometimes called ‘flu’ or a ‘bad cold’. He took samples from the throats of patients and in his hospital was able to find the virus of this influenza.
There were three main types of the influenza virus. The most important of these are type A and B, each of them having several subgroups. With the instruments at the hospital the doctor recognized that the outbreak was due to a virus in group A, but he did not know the subgroup. Then he reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva. W.H.O. published the important news alongside reports of a similar outbreak in Hong Kong, where about 15-20% of the population had become ill.
As soon as the London doctors received the package of throat samples, doctors began the standard tests. They found that by reproducing itself with very high speed, the virus had grown more than a million times within two days. Continuing their careful tests, the doctors checked the effect of drugs against all the known sungroups of virus type A. none of them gave any protection. This ,then, was something new, a new influenza virus, against which the people of the world had no help whatever.
Having found the virus they were working with, the two doctors now dropped it into the noses of some specially selected animals, which get influenza much as human beings do. In a short time the usual signs of the disease appeared. These experiments proved that the new virus was easy to catch, but that it was not a killer. Scientists, like the general public, call it simply Asian flu.
The first discovery of the virus, however, was made in China before the disease had appeared in other countries. Various reports showed that the influenza outbreak started in China, probably in February of 1957. by the middle of March it had spread all over China. The virus was found by Chinese doctors early in March. But China is not a member of the World Health Organization and therefore does not report outbreaks of disease to it. Not until two months later, when travellers carried the virus into Hang Kong, from where it spread to Singapore, did the news of the outbreak reach the rest of the world. By this time it was well started on its way around the world.
Thereafter, W.H.O.’s Weekly Reports described the steady spread of this great virus outbreak, which within four months swept through every continent.
41. the doctor in Singapore performed a valuable service by ______.
A. finding the subgroup of the virus.
B. developing a cure.
C. keeping his patients apart from others.
D. reporting the outbreak to Geneva.
42. One interesting thing about the virus in the story was that it __________.
A. was especially weak.
B. was similar to other viruses.
C. could reproduce with great speed.
D. had samples frozen and packed in dry ice.
43. The experiments in giving the virus to animals proved that this type of influenza was easy to catch __________.
A. but was not deadly.
B. and had rather mild effects.
C. and could possibly causes death.
D. and did not have the usual signs.
44. In order to keep track of a disease such as influenza, W.H.O. must have ________.
A. highly trained experts.
B. co-operation from every doctor.
C. good reporting services.
D. time to study the facts.
45. One thing necessary for discovering influenza outbreak is _______.
A. doctors and hospital services.
B. drugs to fight the disease.
C. the United Nations.
D. sick Chinese

Convenience(方便) Foods
Instead of buying only fresh foods, Americans nowadays buy many more convenience foods. These are foods which are ready partly or completely prepared. Many of them are frozen, such as frozen dinner, heat-and-serve French fries, and frozen pizzas. There are also many canned convenience foods, such as ready-made spaghetti, soups, stews(燉熟的菜 )and vegetables.
Convenience foods save time and trouble. They are popular with people who are busy or who don’t like to cook or wash dishes. But they often cost more than fresh, unprepared foods and many contain man-made additives. Also, many people feel they don’t taste as good as home-cooked foods.
Health Food and Co-ops
In the 1960s, a “back-to-the-earth” movement was started by young people in the United States. The movement was a reaction against the harmful effects of technology. From the movement came a new understanding of food and health. Many people now prefer natural and organic(有機的) foods to the prepared foods sold in health foods stores and in food co-ops, which are small stores where customers help manage the store. In co-ops, food is usually not packaged. Customers bring their own bags and jars and scoop(汲取) their food out of boxes or baskets.
The Diet Craze(節食熱)
These days Americans are more and more concerned with their weight. Perhaps as many as 70 million Americans are on weight-dollar business.
American supermarkets sell a variety of diet food such as soft drinks, diet candy, and diet salad dressings. Dieters also spend money on diet pills, exercise machines, and jogging suits(健美服). Each year dozens of new diets are popularized. They have such names as the Miracle(奇效的) Diet, the Nine-day Wonder Diet, and the East 24-hour Diet. There is even one called the Ice Cream Diet, which advises the dieters to eat only ice cream for lunch and dinner! For dieters who cannot lose weight on their own, there are many well-organized diet groups, which offer help and encouragement.
46． Generally speaking, convenience foods in America ___________.
A. are shipped from foreign countries B. are made by farmers on farms
C. Are popular with people D. are better than fresh ones
