The virus “Ebola” is named after the EbolaRiver in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That’s where the virus was discovered in 1976. A person can only get Ebola through direct contact with an infected person’s bodily fluids, for example, sweat or spit. Additionally, the virus can get into your body through your eyes and mouth if those areas come into contact with something that contains the bodily fluids of an infected person. That’s why health care workers are supposed to keep themselves completely covered while treating patients.
The deadliest Ebola outbreak is spreading fast in Western Africa, taking over 900 lives so far. The health systems in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia are severely lacking in resources, and health care workers may not have access to adequate protective clothing when working in rural clinics, where the proper protections are lacking. Since Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia share a border; it’s easier for people to move from one country to another, increasing the risk for disease spread. Infected people may be kept separate with other people infected with the disease, making this kind of contact easier.
The virus has a two-to-21-day incubation(潜伏) period. It is systemic and can move to and affect every part of the body, causing direct damage to organs and internal bleeding. This causes shock, dropping a person’s blood pressure and causing multi-system organ failure.
For now, all doctors can do is treat the symptoms and provide supportive care like monitoring heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing while making sure the patients’ fluids are supplied. Sometimes patients are given antibiotics(抗生素) to treat other possible infections. The hope is to make the patient pull through the infection so their immune system can eventually clear the virus. The people who survive Ebola have created enough antibodies to kill it. This is harder to achieve in rural health systems in West Africa that are tasked with treating thousands of patients with poor resources.
There are several promising drugs and vaccines in development, but since Ebola is less common—and research about it is not well funded —there is no drug or vaccine that has been approved for use in humans. Many of the other drugs and vaccines have not yet been tested in humans. The WHO (World Health Organization) is meeting next week to discuss whether experimental treatments should be used during this outbreak. 63. According to the passage, Ebola only spreads through _____.
A. polluted air B river water. C. flying birds D. bodily fluids 64. Which is not the possible reason why Ebola spreads in West Africa quickly?
A. The health resources are poor. B. Infected people are kept together.

C. Three western countries share a border. D. The protective clothing is adequate.
65. Why have there been no cures used for Ebola in humans so far?
A. The drugs for Ebola are being developed now.
B. Ebola is rare and its research money is lacking. C. Ebola does far more harm to patients than Aids. D. The WHO hasn’t decided whether to use them. 66. Which of the following can be the best title?
A. Help the poorest West Africa. B. Introduction to the virus “Ebola”.
C. The deadliest Ebola outbreak. D. No cure for the virus “Ebola”.

If you have decided to lose the extra pounds, then you surely know that the only way to do that is by combining workouts with a healthy, balanced and nutritious diet. However, there are some types of drinks that will speed up the fat burning and help you lose weight quicker than you normally would, and here you will find 2 of the most efficient ones：
Green tea has been used for hundreds of years due to its numerous benefits, and weight loss is just one of them — although green tea alone will only help you lose a few pounds, it will certainly serve as a great addition to your diet in the long run. Drinking one cup of tea per day will deliver all the antioxidants (抗氧化剂)you need and it will also help you burn fat at a faster pace by promoting the metabolism (新陈代谢). These teas are perfect for burning more calories as well as for increasing your overall energy levels and for suppressing your desire to eat. These teas help you remove the extra pounds by suppressing your desire to eat, thus decreasing the amount of food you would normally consume everyday. Green tea is said to also help you reduce stress and relax better.
Fruit juices are delicious, easy to prepare and very rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals — besides this, there are literally hundreds of different fruits you can choose from, and pear and cranberries (蔓越莓) are only two of the most delicious, most efficient and most popular ones given the fact that they contain high amounts of vitamin C. Not only will the cranberry and pear juice help you lose weight by promoting your metabolism, but it will also increase your overall energy levels and deliver your body all the essential vitamins and proteins that it so much needs. Meanwhile, it is known that the cranberry juice is essential for preventing various infection of the bladder (膀胱).What’s more, pears contain mineral substances and are essential for a healthy lifestyle, not to mention that they are rich in Vitamin Cand Calcium, the latter being particularly important for keeping your bones healthy and strong. 67.
