READING COMPREHENSION
INFLUENZA
Scientists have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause the
disease in animals. In addition, man can catch the disease from animals. In fact, a
great number of wild birds seem to carry the viruses without showing any evidences
of illnesses. Some scientists conclude that a large family of influenza viruses may
have evolved in the bird kingdom, a group that has been on the earth 100 million years
and is able to carry the viruses without contracting the disease. There is even
convincing evidence to show that virus strains are transmitted from place to place and
from continent to continent by migrating birds.
It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in
an animal at the same time. The result of such recombination is a great variety of
strains containing different H and N spikes. This raises the possibility that a human
influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus from a lower animal to produce
an entirely new spike. Research is underway to determine if that is the way that major
new strains come into being. Another possibility is that two animal influenza strains
may recombine in a pig, for example, to produce a new strain which is transmitted to
man.
1. According to the passage, scientists have discovered that influenza viruses
_______.
A. cause ill health in animals.
B. do not always cause symptom in birds.
C. are rarely present in wild birds.
D. change when transmitted from animals to man.
2. What is known about the influenza viruses?
A. It was first found in a group of very old birds.
B. All the different strains can be found in the wild birds.
C. It existed over 100 million years ago.
D. It can survive in many different places.
3. According to the passage, a great variety of influenza strains can appear
when_____.
A. H and N are produced.
B. Animal and bird viruses are combined.
C. Dissimilar types of viruses recombined.
D. Two viruses of the same kind are contracted.
4. New strains of viruses are transmitted to man by _____.
A. a type of wild pig.
B. diseased lower animals.
C. a group of migrating birds.
D. a variety of means.
5. All of the following are ways of producing new strains of influenza
EXCEPT_____.
A. two influenza viruses in the same animal recombining.
B. animal viruses recombining with human viruses.
C. two animal viruses recombining.
D. two animal viruses recombining in a human.

6. The passage is the most suitable for which of the following subjects?
A. The History of Medicine.
B. Medical Science.
C. Botanical Science.
D. Life Study.
In the past explorers went around the world and discovered new lands. They
were brave people and they changed the history of the world. Nowadays there
are only a few places that we havent fully explored yet. We are still trying to
find more about the north and south poles, There is very little we do not know
about the rest of the planet Earth.
On the other hand, we have only just begun to explore the moon and the
other planets. Space is still a mystery. Space exploration is just an adventure or
a game. It is important because it can help us solve some very mysterious
problems. For example, there have been changes in the earths climate in the
last few years. As a result, both people who live in cities and farmers who grow
crops are worried that there is not enough rainfall.
The solution may be in space. In a few years time, scientists will have bases
on the moon, which will help us control the weather.
We face another serious problem. There are now far too many people on our
small planet. If we do not find a way to control the population, we will need
new planets so people can live there.
We may also run out of fuel, like coal and oil. We do not get enough energy
from the wind, waves of sun. Nuclear energy is useful, but very dangerous. We
must continue to explore space and find solution to the earths problem before it
is too late.
QUESTIONS
1. Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the passage?
A. Too many people on Earth
B. Changes in the earths climate
