考點(diǎn)：詞組／短語(yǔ)

When we hear of dangerous diseases, cancer and heart disease are often what first comes to mind． Recently, a virus (病毒) called Ebola has reappeared in Guinea (a country in West Africa), killing 62 people so far． It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc, Ebola can kill 90% of those infected, especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.
Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976．There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened: Sudan, Ivory Coast, Restoon, Bundibugyo, and Zaire．The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 outbreak, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.
Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats (果蝠), which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on (吮吸) their blood．Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids (液體) of the infected animals．Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.
Since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the influences of Ebola are huge: damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries．Already the Guinea virus is spreading fast with a few cases spotted in Conakry — the capital of Guinea, far away from the origin of the virus．It is feared that the disease may have already reached neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone, too.
Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for Ebola．Healthcare workers only supply the infected people with water to keep them in good condition．Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some cases, not even allowed to get close to the affected．The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.
1.The news of Ebola in Guinea is mentioned to ________.
A． make a brief summary
B． introduce the topic of the text
C． compare Ebola with cancer
D． show the latest study of viruses
2.What can we learn about Ebola?
A． It is a newly discovered virus.
B． It is the most dangerous virus in the world.
C． It was named after where it first happened.
D． It could cause immediate death for anyone infected.
3.What is mainly described in Paragraph 3?
A． What the Ebola virus is.
B． The influences of Ebola.
C． The treatments for Ebola.
D． How the Ebola virus spreads.
4.Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A． Ebola is a highly infectious virus.
B． Ebola is now very common in Guinea.
C． Those with a fever must be infected by Ebola.
D． Females are more easily to be infected by Ebola.

The clerk，a friendly man with a beautiful smile，explained that there were three conferences in town．“All of our rooms are taken，”the clerk said，“but I can't send a nice couple like you into the rain at one o'clock in the morning．Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It's not a suite，but it will be good enough to make you comfortable for the night．”The couple agreed．

As the elderly man paid the bill the next morning，he told the clerk，“You are the kind of person who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States．Maybe someday I’ll build one for you．” The clerk looked at them and smiled．The three of them had a good laugh．

Steps to Retire as a Millionaire

Having a million-dollar savings is a retirement dream for many people．Making that dream come true requires some serious efforts．While success is never a sure thing，the steps outlined below will go a long way toward helping you achieve your objective．

1.Vacations，cars，kids and all of life's other expenses take a big chunk(大塊) out of your paycheck．To maximize your savings，you need to minimize your expenses．Buying a home you can afford and living a lifestyle that is below your means and not funded by credit cards are all necessities if you want to boost your savings．

2.If you don't save，you'll never reach your goal．Obvious as this might seem，far too many people never even start to save．If your employer offers a 401(k) plan (一種養(yǎng)老保險(xiǎn))，simply sign up for the plan and contributions will be automatically taken out of your paycheck，increasing your savings and decreasing your taxes．It's like getting a guaranteed return on your investment．Finding the cash to stash (隱藏起)may be a challenge，particularly when you're young，but don't let that stop you from pursuing future riches．

3.If you are looking to grow your wealth over time，fixed income isn't likely to get the job done，and inflation (通貨膨脹) can take a big chunk out of your savings．Investing in equities (股票) may have more risk，but is also statistically likely to lead to greater returns．For many of us，it's a risk we have to take if want to see our wealth grow．

4.Part of long-term planning involves accepting the idea that setbacks will occur．If you are not prepared，these setbacks can put a stop to your savings efforts．While you can't avoid all of the bumps in the road，you can prepare in advance to reduce the damage they can do．

5.Your income should rise as time passes．You'll get raises，you'll change jobs，and maybe you'll get married and become a two-income family．Every time more cash comes in to your pocket，you should increase the amount that you save．The key to reaching your goal as quickly as possible is to save as much as you can．

A． Watch Your Spending．

B． Prepare for Rainy Days．

C． Start Saving．

D． Get Aggressive．

E． Save More．

F． Set the Goal．

G． Have patience．
