For many years, scientists have speculated that the cataclysmic impact of an asteroid with the earth was responsible for the demise of the dinosaurs approximately 65 million years ago Previous

discoveries and results have hinted that an asteroid two kilometers in diameter struck the Yucatan

peninsula in Eastern Mexico This impact, stronger than one thousand nuclear explosions, is

speculated to have cast a cloud of dust and debris into the atmosphere, covering the entire surface

temperature of the earth With such a radical change in the earth’s environment, scientists believe that over 99% of all animal and plant species were eradicated Only after millions of years did plants and

animals even begin to recover But, the reign of the dinosaurs had ended and the age of mammals

had begun

The crucial link that has held this theory together has been the element iridium Iridium is not

commonly found on either the surface of the earth or inside the crust It is more commonly found in

asteroids or meteorites throughout the solar system Scientists have hypothesized that after the asteroid impacted the earth, an even layer of iridium sediment settled over the globe and eventually became part of its surface The theory, of course, has depended on the discovery of such an existing layer of iridium

Unfortunately, scientists have never been able to offer absolute proof that this asteroid impact ever occurred Recently, however, a discovery may go a long way toward validating these scientists’

theories In 1990, a team of marine biologists excavated samples contain iridium similar to those found in the Yucatan peninsula thousands of kilometers away At first, scientists were skeptical whether the samples were from the time period But since carbon dating placed them to 65 million years ago, their doubts were quickly alleviated Since then many of the other theories for the demise

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 50.

Smallpox was the first widespread disease ever to be eliminated by human intervention A highly contagious viral disease, it was endemic in Europe, causing the deaths of millions of people until the development of the vaccination by Edward Jenner around 1800 In many non- European nations, it remained a dreaded, often fatal illness until very recently Its victims suffered high fever, vomiting, and painful, itchy pustules, pus-filled skin eruptions that left pits or pockmark scars In villages and cities all over the world, scarred people showed that they had suffered smallpox

In May 1966, the World Health Organization (WHO), an agency of the United Nations was, authorized to initiate a global campaign to eradicate smallpox The goal was to eliminate the disease

in one decade At the time, the disease posed a serious threat to people in thirty nations More than

700 physicians, nurses, scientists, and other personnel from WHO joined about 200,000 health workers in the infected nations to battle the disease Because similar projects for malaria and yellow

fever had failed, few believed that a disease as widespread as smallpox could actually be eradicated

but eleven years after the initial organization of the anti smallpox campaign, no cases were reported

in the field

The strategy that developed was to combat the disease at several levels There was an education campaign, of course, so that the people in the threatened countries could be taught more about how

the disease spread and become active participants in the fight against smallpox Other strategies included not only providing mass vaccinations but also to isolating patients with active smallpox in order to contain the spread of the disease, thus breaking the chain of human transmission Monetary rewards for reporting smallpox assisted in motivating the public to aid health workers One by one, each smallpox victim was sought out, removed from contact with others and treated At the same time, the entire village where the victim had lived was vaccinated

By April of 1978 WHO officials announced that they had isolated the last known case of the

disease but health workers continued to search for new cases for two additional years to be completely sure In May, 1980, a formal statement was made to the global community Today smallpox is no longer a threat to humanity Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide
