As students across the country have their yearly flu shots (打流感疫苗), doctors across the world are preparing against a possible outbreak of bird flu that few current vaccines (疫苗) will guard against. The likelihood of a bird flu spreading aong huans is very high, the World Health Organization warned recently. European countries worry about bird flu very uch, since any igratory birds (候鸟) start to fly back fro the North.
There are at least 15 different types of bird flu virus around the world. The possible outbreak ay be caused by a virus known as H5N1.

The outbreak in 1997 in Hong Kong was quickly controlled at a cost of 18 people ill and six dead. About 1.5 illion chickens were collected in an effort to reove the source of the virus. But scientists say that the virus can change itself rapidly. Also, if the virus ixes with the huan flu virus, it could be spread through person-to-person contact in the sae way as ordinary huan flu is spread. Bird flu can cause fever, coughing, sore throats and uscle aches in huans. With the introduction of vaccines, flu is not as deadly as it used to be. But throughout history it was a huge cause of death around the world. The outbreak of Spanish flu in 1918-19 killed about 40 to 50 illion people worldwide.
Currently there is no vaccine against bird flu that can be used on huans. Scientists are working to develop one. This will probably take several onths to coplete and ay not be ready in tie to stop a widespread outbreak of the disease.

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other coforts of life, one becoes happy and the other becoes unhappy. This arises fro the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their inds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their rearks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) any people, and ake theselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of ind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the ore to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by iitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit ay be strong, but it ay be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning ay be of service to the, and help the change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the iagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend any others; nobody loves the, and no one treats the with ore than the ost coon politeness and respect. This frequently puts the in bad teper and draws the into arguents. If they ai at getting soe advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes the success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on theselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse the, and any will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about theselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with the. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and soeties very inconvenient, especially when one becoes ixed up in their quarrels.
66. People who are unhappy _______.新标第一网
A. always consider things differently fro others
B. usually are affected by the results of certain things
C. usually isunderstand what others think or say
D. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
67. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” ost nearly eans “_______”.

Too often young people get theselves eployed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for prootion, happiness and security. As a result, they are eployed doing jobs that afford the little or no satisfaction.
Our school leavers face so uch copetition that they seldo care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Soe stay long at a job and learn to like it; others quit fro one to another looking for soething to suit the, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities.
The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all feel around in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even ore iportant , whether the job suits the.
Having a job is ore than erely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and soe oney for leisure and entertainent. It sets a pattern of life and, in any ways, deterines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.
In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is ore pitiable than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and eventually ake you an eotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人)and a bitter person.

One possible version:
Recently we held a class eeting to discuss the proble of passers-by crossing the street while the traffic light is red. As we can see, soe passers-by don’t obey traffic rules and jaywalk frequently. This blocks traffic seriously affects drivers and causes accidents to happen, endangering the safety of passers-by and drivers. In a word, jaywalking produces negative effects and does not help develop good social behavior.
It is really a pity to see all this in our society. To deal with the situation, the governent has taken soe easures. When caught jaywalking, the passers-by are criticized so that they will becoe aware of the dangers of doing so, or they are fined on the spot. Soeties the traffic police will report jaywalkers at their workplace and expose the to the public. However, it will take a long tie to stop passers-by fro jaywalking. We should start fro ourselves right no
