11、was the polluted waterIdea 2.Because the information showed that the dirty water carried choleraHe defeated cholera by examining the water supply and dealing with the polluted water John Snow finally proved the theory he believed by_.A.gathering information with the help of a mapB.looking into the s

13、cholera _ out,he began to gather information.He _ on a map where all the dead people had lived and he found that many people who had drunk the dirty water from the _ died.So he decided that the polluted water carried cholera.He suggested that the _ of all water supply be _ and new methods of _ with

15、ieved Idea 2 was right.How did he finally prove it?Do you think John Snow would have solved this problem with-out the map?Give a reason.Two diseases,which are similar today,are SARS and AIDS because they are both very serious,have an unknown cause and public health care to solve them.John Snow final
16、ly proved his idea because he found an outbreak that was clearly related to cholera,collected information and was able to tie cases outside the area to the polluted water.Keys1.2.No.The map helped John Snow organise his ideas.He was able to identify those households that had had many deaths and chec
17、k their water-drinking habits.He identified those houses that had had no deaths and surveyed their drinking habits.The evidence clearly pointed to the polluted water being the cause.3.Lets have a competition!ExtensionSpeaking activityDiscuss in groups of four,which field do you want to contribute yourself to in the future?One takes down the groupmates opinions,after that,report the groupmates opinions to the whole class.
