单选题 Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical' aspects of it in his writings, but he was {{U}}(26) {{/U}} to go to sea to {{U}}(27) {{/U}} his work. For most people the sea was {{U}}(28) {{/U}}, and with the {{U}}(29) {{/U}} of early international travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, {{U}}(30) {{/U}} alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The flint time that the question "What is at the bottom of the oceans?" had to be answered with any commercial {{U}}(31) {{/U}} was when the {{U}}(32) {{/U}} of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed.

单选题 Slater Swine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu, and pig flu) refers to influenza caused by those strains of influenza virus, called swine influenza virus (SIV), that usually infect pigs. Swine influenza is common in pigs in the Midwestern United States (and occasionally in other states), Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe (including the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Italy), Kenya, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and other parts of eastern Asia. Mike Smith Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not common and properly cooked pork poses no risk of infection. When transmission results in influenza in a human, it is called zoonotic swine flu. People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at risk of catching swine flu. Rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human. In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort. Baker The 2009 flu outbreak in humans, known as "swine flu", is due to a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that contained genes most closely related to swine influenza. The origin of this new strain is unknown, however, and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) reports that this strain has not been isolated in pigs. This strain can be transmitted from human to human, and causes the normal symptoms of influenza. Bob David If a person becomes sick with swine flu, antiviral drugs can make the illness milder and make the patient feel better faster. They may also prevent serious flu complications. For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if started soon after getting sic (within 2 days of symptoms). Beside antivirals, palliative care, at home or in hospital, focuses on controlling fevers and maintaining fluid balance. However, the majority of people infected with the virus make a full recovery without requiring medical attention or antiviral drugs. Tom Brown In the US, on April 27, 2009, the FDA issued Emergency Use Authorizations to make available Relenza and Tamiflu antiviral drugs to treat the swine influenza virus in cases for which they are currently unapproved. The agency issued these EUAs to allow treatment of patients younger than the current approval allows and to allow the widespread distribution of the drugs, including by non-licensed volunteers. Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. StatementsA. Swine influenza is common in pigs all over United States, Mexico, Canada, South Africa, Europe, Kenya, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and other parts of eastern Asia.B. It is risky for people intensively exposed to the work with pigs.C. The origin of the new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 is unknown yet.D. Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is very common. E. Some drugs are still unapproved to treat the swine influenza virus. F. Antiviral drugs work best to the patients within 2 days of symptoms. G. A brief introduction of Swine influenza.

单选题 The picnics, speeches, and parades of today' s Labor Day were all part of the celebration, held in New York City in 1882. Its promoter was an Irish-American labor leader named Peter J. McGuire. A carpenter by trade, McGuire had worked since the age of eleven, and in 1882 was president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners (UBCJ). Approaching the City' s Central Labor Union that summer, he proposed a holiday that would applaud (赞许) "the industrial spirit—the great vital force of every nation. "On September 5 his suggestion bore fruit, as the estimated 10,000 workers, many of them ignoring their bosses' warnings, left work to march from Union Square up Fifth Avenue to 42rid Street. The event gained national attention, and by 1893 thirty states had made Labor Day an annual holiday. The quick adoption of the scheme may have indicated less about the state lawmakers' respect for working people than about a fear of risking their anger. In the 1880s the United States was a land sharply divided between the immensely wealthy and the very poor. Henry George was accurate in describing the era as one of "progress and poverty", in a society in which factory owners rode in private Pullmans while ten-year-olds slaved in the mines, strong anti-capitalist feelings ran high. Demands for fundamental change were common throughout the labor press. With socialists demanding an end to "wage slavery" and anarchists(无政府主义者)singing the praises of the virtues of dynamite(炸药), middle-of-the-roaders like Samuel Gompers and McGuire seemed attractively mild by comparison. One can imagine practical capitalists seeing Labor Day as a bargain: A one-day party certainly cost them less than paying their workers decent wages.
