A What Is A Hookworm Infection?
Hookworm is an infection of one of two different 7 to 13 mm long roundworms. Heavy infection with hookworm can create serious health problems for newborns, children, pregnant women, and persons who are malnourished. Approximately one-quarter of the world's population is infected with Hookworm.
B Where are hookworms commonly found?
One of the most common species, Ancylostoma duodenale, is found in southern Europe, northern Africa, northern Asia, and parts of South America. A second species, Necator americanus, was widespread in the southeastern United States early in this century. The Rockefeller Sanitary Commission was founded in response, and hookworm infection has been largely controlled.
C How do I get a hookworm infection?
You can become infected by direct contact with contaminated soil, generally through walking barefoot, or accidentally swallowing contaminated soil.
Hookworms have a complex life cycle that begins and ends in the small intestine( 肠道). Hookworm eggs require warm, moist, shaded soil to hatch into larvae(幼虫). These barely visible larvae enter the skin (often through bare feet), are carried to the lungs, go through the breathing tract to the mouth, are swallowed, and eventually reach the small intestine. This journey takes about a week. In the small intestine, the larvae develop into half-inch-long worms, attach themselves to the intestinal wall, and suck blood. The adult worms produce thousands of eggs. These eggs are passed in the human waste. If the eggs contaminate soil and conditions are right, they will hatch, molt, and develop into infective larvae again after 5 to 10 days.
D Who is at risk?
People who have direct contact with soil that contains human feces in areas where hookworm is common are at high risk of infection. Children --because they play in dirt and often go barefoot-- are at high risk. Since transmission of hookworm infection requires development of the larvae in soil, hookworm cannot be spread person to person. Contact among children in institutional or child care settings should not increase the risk of infection.
E
In countries where hookworm is common and re-infection is likely, light infections are often not treated. In the United States, hookworm infections are generally treated for 1-3 days with medication prescribed by your health care provider. The drugs are effective and appear to have few side effects. For children under the age of 2, the decision to treat should be made by their health care provider.

The Golden Gate Bridge -- the iconic gateway to San Francisco Bay -- has experienced 70 years of rain and shine. A wonder of engineering, it is also sadly a site where people commit suicide by throwing themselves off its heights.
At the entrance of the Golden Gate strait, where the Pacific Ocean meets the San Francisco Bay, sits the Golden Gate Bridge. Stretching across the strait for more than 2,700 meters, the bridge connects San Francisco and Marin County. It was built between 1933 and 1937, when it was the longest suspension span ever built. Today it's ranked about seven or eight. The main span, which is the span between the towers, was 4,200 feet (1,280 meters), making it the longest bridge ever built at its time."
San Francisco's residents love their city's world-famous landmark. Resident Peter Richards says, "The bridge is iconic, obviously. It's something that identifies San Francisco as a place, and as a city on the Pacific Rim. For me, it's very important. I look for it when I am trying to locate myself in the city.
Yet for Nancy Langhofer, another resident, the bridge means something entirely different. “This bridge is a cursed thing to me, it is a tragic symbol.” Since its completion in 1937, some 1,200 people have jumped to their deaths, giving the bridge a notoriety as a site for suicides. Film director Eric Steel made a documentary about the Golden Gate suicides. In the 2006 film, called “The Bridge”, his cameras captured 23 of the 24 suicides in 2004.
Nancy Langhofer wants measures taken to prevent people from jumping off the bridge. “I am giving postcards to people. It says: ‘demand a suicide barrier.’ It’s been a long-time argument here in San Francisco about whether or not to fix a suicide barrier on the bridge and a friend of mine committed suicide in 2004. It is really too easy for people to climb over the railing.”
The Board of Directors of the Golden Gate Bridge began exploring the possibility of building a barrier two years ago, but not everyone is in favor of the idea.
One resident, Diana, commented, “I don't think building a barrier to prevent that is going to help a lot. It's just going to make it uglier. Then people who are trying to jump over are just going to find other places.”
Another person, Jonathan, when asked if he thought barriers should be built, said, “I personally do not. I think it will destroy the view, it will destroy the experience of walking across the bridge.”
But Nancy Langhofer replies, “There is a bridge in Canada that I know of, it has high incidents of suicides. They put up a fence or some kind. Why not do it here? It's been here since 1937. It's time.”
Upon completion of the bridge, the chief engineer for the project, Joseph Strauss, wrote a poem called, “The Mighty Task is Done.” But it may be that more will be done to this monumental structure, 70 years after it was built.
73.The passage mainly talks about ___________.
A.whether the Golden Gate Bridge should be fenced to prevent the suicide
B.whether the Golden Gate Bridge should be barred for the sake of the travelers
C.whether the completion of the Golden Gate Bridge has been complete
D.whether the Golden Gate Bridge should be built 70 years ago
74.The underlined word “notoriety” in the 4th paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.
A.a new image B.a new record C.a bad name D.a complete honor
75.According to Nancy Langhofer, so many people commit suicide in the Golden Gate Bridge probably because __________.
A.the scenery there is so beautiful
B.it is easy to climb over the railing
C.the bridge is so mysterious there
D.there are many people walking back and forth
76.Which of the following does NOT refer to the Golden Gate Bridge?
A.The city’s most-famous landmark. B.The monumental structure.
C.The iconic gateway to San Francisco Bay. D.The suicide barrier.

Perhaps no animal has inspired as much superstition(迷信) as the cat. Throughout history, cats have been worshipped as gods by certain cultures and hated as demons by others.
In European folk stories, the black cat is the traditional companion of witches. If a black cat crosses one's path, it is also considered a sign of bad things to happen. The black cat has become a sign of misfortune and ill luck, and a popular belief is that unhappiness will follow quickly after the black cat that crosses one's path.
The old belief that a cat has nine lives goes back to ancient Egypt. The cat-headed goddess, Bast, was said to have nine lives. The Egyptians did not only fear the cat, but rather respected it, and they raised cats far above the other pets. Cats came to be worshipped with such power that the motiveless killing of a cat was punishable by death.
During the Persian invasion of 529 BC, the Egyptians' deification(神化)of the cat proved their destruction. Knowing of the passion of the Egyptian people with cats, Cambyses II, king of the Persians, made a cat part of the standard supply to each of his soldiers. The Nile-residents led by King Psamtik III laid down their spears and bows for fear of harming the cat that each enemy soldier carried, and the Persians conquered the city of Pelusium without shedding a drop of blood.
Some people believe that the constant stare of the cat can bring about illness or even cause death. Such an unreasoning, fearful response to cats is known as ailurophobia. Henry III of England (1207–1272) would faint at the sight of a cat. Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) had plans to rule the world with his Third Reich, but the sight of a cat set him trembling. Napoleon Bonaparte (1769– 1821) proudly snatched the crown of the Holy Roman Emperor from the pope and conquered nearly all Europe, but when he spotted a cat in his palace, he shouted for help.
Such fear of cats may be genetically transmitted: when Joseph Bonaparte (1768– 1844), King of Naples, visited Saratoga Springs in 1825, he complained that he sensed a cat's presence. Although his hosts assured His Majesty that no such animal was anywhere present, a persistent search revealed a kitten hiding in a sideboard.
Today the cat is not feared as it was in earlier times, and it is now the most popular pet among people in the United States, Australia, and France. However, many superstitious people still regard a cat as an unlucky omen and believe that not only the black cat, but all cats, have nine lives.
77.The main idea of the passage is that _________.
A.cats are unlucky signs and have nine lives
B.cats cause a lot of superstition among different cultures
C.cats deserve people’s hatred and worship
D.cats are popular pets because they have nine lives
78.What made Persians defeat Egyptians in 529 BC?
A.The cat each Persian soldier carried. B.The worship of cats by Persians.
C.Their better spears and bows. D.Their care about cats.
79.The underlined part “His Majesty” in Paragraph 6 refers to _________.
A.King of Naples B.Saratoga Springs
C.Napoleon Bonaparte D.the cat
80.The author organizes his supporting examples in Paragraph 5 according to _________.
A.order of importance B.time order
C.simple listing D.contrasts

May Day Long Holidays, Kept or Cancelled?
Recently, we carried out a survey on whether the May Day long holidays should be cancelled or kept by means of questionnaire. The results are as fellows:
About 24% of the surveyed people are in favour of the canceling. The defenders state that the May Day long holidays contribute to many problems. For a start, many tourists choose to travel during the long holidays; as a consequence, the traffic, whether the train or the plane, is very crowded, which, of course, brings a lot of inconveniences to the people who need to make regular trips. It is an accepted fact that every tourist attraction can only receive a certain number of visitors, but now with the tourists flowing in, the scenic spots are damaged and some cultural relics are ruined. Anyway, none of us, including the visitors, is willing to see the consequence.
However, another 76% are strongly against the canceling. May is a good time for outing and to experience spring, so people need the long holiday. No one can deny that the tourism economy is promoted, especially sales of commodity in the tourism destinations.
Maybe whether the May Day long holidays will be cancelled or kept depends on the government’s policy.
