Pandemic (dịch bệnh)
Diseases are a natural part of life on Earth If there were no diseases, the population would grow too quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources So in a way, diseases are nature's way of keeping the Earth in balance But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large
Trang 4numbers of people For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six months Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics
Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight In
1918, a new type of flu virus appeared Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and killed large numbers of people While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have a few things in common
First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily Second, while they may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly A good example of this would be the Marburg virus The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease In addition, it is deadly About 70-80% of all the people who get the Marburg virus die from the disease However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread to a large number of people The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims,
so it had more time to spread.
While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common
Doctors carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics For example, in
2002 and 2003, doctors carefully watched SARS Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic

A diseases with no cure
B diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of people
C a deadly kind of flu
D new diseases like SARS or the Marburg virus
48 According to the passage, what causes pandemics?
A Changes in a disease that the body cannot fight
B Careless doctors who do not watch the spread of diseases

What I love about my job is the variety I get enquiries (việc điều tra) from people all over the world asking me how they should go about setting up their own website I’ve been asked about
so many subjects - anything from someone wanting to teach people how to throw boomerangs to another people selling paper flowers which they make at home in their spare time
Obviously with all the thousands of websites available at the click of a button, you want to create an impression with your website so that it becomes a must-see destination Not everyone is
Trang 6prepared, however, for the way in which a website can become so popular that it actually has to be closed down
When people first set up their websites they probably pay their web advertiser a monthly fee based on the number of hits (visitors) or page impressions their site receives If they can pay their monthly fee without it costing them too much, that is the best that most people hope for One guy, Pete Bennett, whom I helped, wanted to set up a one-stop shop to provide decent images of the world’s flags He’d been fascinated by flags since his boyhood and had no idea that thousands of other people share his passion Anyway, in one month his web page had over 1.5 million hits As a result his internet provider trebled (gấp 3) the fee that he was being charged He wasn’t a rich person and he couldn’t afford to spend that amount of money on a hobby without any benefit to him, so he decided to carry advertising on his site He found a company which specializes in smaller sites and adverts were added to the pages on his website So, although he doesn’t make a huge profit, at least his hobby provides him with a small income
If you have specialist skills or expertise, it can pay you to sell the products that people want
I helped one woman design a page to advertise the fact that she tells fortunes, based on the information that her clients supply her with If you want her to tell your fortune, you fill in a questionnaire online your age, date of birth, hobbies, interests and so on and for a small fee she e-mails you back your fortune You can print it out and it looks really good, decorated with moons and stars, your zodiac (hoàng đạo) sign and your birthstone I tried it myself and although I’m not sure I believe it, my future according to her is positive and exciting I also found out that for someone born in August, like me, the birthstone is a peridot (đá/ngọc peridot), a pale green stone which I’d never even heard of!
I also get a fair number of complaints from people e-mailing me to say that they can’t access the website When they click on the site a message appears on their screen saying ‘An error has occurred in the script (bản chính) on this page’ This usually happens when someone has tried to achieve fancy effects on their website by using programming techniques based on a scripting language This means that unless they really know what they are doing, whoever designed the site has probably made a mistake in their programming This is where people like me come in Most computer instruction guides make things appear quite straightforward, but unless you’re very skilled, you’re likely to run into problems It’s generally worth getting a professional to help you set
up your site in the first place otherwise people like me would be out of work And let’s face it, this is big business
