24、 in recorded history is happening right now. The outbreak is unprecedented(空前的) both in the number of people who have gotten sick and in the geographic scope. And so far its been a long battle that doesnt appear to be slowing down.Ebola is both rare and very deadly. Since the first outbreak in 1976,
25、 Ebola viruses have infected thousands of people and killed roughly killed 60 percent of them. Symptoms can come on quickly and kill fast.The current outbreak started in Guinea sometime in late 2013 or early 2014. It has since spread to Sierra Leone and Liberia, including some capital cities. And on
26、e infected patient traveled on a plane to Nigeria, where he spread the disease to several others and then died. Cases have also popped up in various other countries throughout the world, including in Dallas and New York City in the United States.The Ebola virus has now hit many countries, including

The virus, which starts off with flu-like symptoms and sometimes ends with bleeding, has infected about 6,500 people and killed more than 3,000 since this winter, according to the World Health Organization on September 30, 2014.
28、There are some social and political factors contributing to the current disaster. Because this is the first major Ebola outbreak in West Africa, many of the regions health workers didnt have experience or training in how to protect themselves or care for patients with this disease.Journalist David Q
29、uammen put it well in a recent New York Times article, “Ebola is more dangerous to humans than perhaps any known virus on Earth, except rabies(狂犬病) and HIV. And it does its damage much faster than either.”Hopefully, researchers are working to find drugs, including a recent $50 million push at the Na
30、tional Institutes of Health. And scientists are working on vaccines(疫苗), including looking into ones that might be able to help wild chimpanzees, which are also susceptible to the disease.

34、ge?A. Ebola - The African Local DisasterB. Ebola - The Newly-Found DiseaseC. Ebola - A More Effective Vaccine D. Ebola - The Deadly Virus OutbreakCFinding a friend doesnt seem like a difficult job. However, bad friends are easier to find than good friends these days. If youre sitting there and wonde
35、ring if you have a bad friend, let me define it for you.A bad friend is someone whose jealousies and insecurities outweigh their love for someone. They night want to be a good friend but theyre too messed up in their own head to ever actually do it. They wonder if their friends are going out without
36、 them or if theyre being forgotten and left behind. People who are violently insecure dont have what it takes to be the quality of a friend.Bad friends are narcissistic(自恋的). They look for any opportunity to bring the conversation back to them. Worse, they might not even be aware that theyre doing i
37、t. In their mind, they might think they are the best friend ever, which is truly frightening.Bad friends are quick-change. Theyre by your side when youre fun and you have something to give them but as soon as youre going through a difficult time, they will become indifferent quickly. They wont bring
38、 you cold medicine. They wont give you a ride to the doctor, everything they do is self-serving.If you find a friend who has these same characteristics, send them to your bad friend list immediately. Your friends are supposed to be the solution to your problems, not the source.I believe your twentie
39、s are a time when you need positive and helpful friends. In such a time, friendships arent easy to maintain like they once were in school. Now we actually have to put work into it, we have to make a conscious effort to keep the friendship going. You need to ask yourself, “Is this person worth it? Do
40、 they treat me like a fool or what?” if your have doubts, try to make them clear by considering the past experiences. Toxic(有毒的) friendships do nothing but drag you down. My point is that you have to take care of yourself and stop getting in touch with your bad friends. Only surround yourself with p
41、eople who bring out the best qualities in you. It may sound cruel but its true,.36. The author believes that we can easily find a .A. close friendB. poor friendC. good friendD. bad friend37. Bad friends give the author the following impressions EXCEPT being . A. outgoingB.insecureC. narcissisticD. s
42、elf-centred38.

44、 advise us not to treat our close friends badly.DAmericans gave nearly $300 billion away last year. Do you know the reason? Beyond the noble goals of helping others, it is that giving will make them happier.It is a fact that givers are happier people than non-givers. According to the Social Capital
45、Community Benchmark Survey, a survey of 30,000 American households, people who give money to charity are 43% more likely than non-givers to say they are “very happy” about their lives. Similarly, volunteers are 42% more likely to be very happy then non-volunteers.The happiness difference between giv
46、ers and non-givers is not due to differences in their personal characteristics, such as income or religion. Imagine two people who are identical in terms of income and faith, as well as age, education, politics, sex, and family circumstances, but one donates money and volunteers, while the other doe
47、s not. The giver will be, on average, over 40 percentage points more likely to be very happy than the non-givers.A number of studies have researched exactly why charity leads to happiness. The surprising conclusion is that giving affects our brain chemistry. For example, people who give often report
48、 feelings of euphoria, which psychologists have referred to as the “Helpers High”. They believe that charitable activity produces a very mild version of the sensations people get from drugs like morphine and heroin.Of course, not only does giving increase our happiness, but also our happiness increa
49、ses the possibility that we will give. Everyone prefers to give more when they are happy. Researchers have investigated this by conducting experiments in which people are asked about their happiness before and after they participate in a charitable activity, such as volunteering to help children or
50、serving meals to the poor. The result is clear that giving has a strong, positive causal impact on our happiness, so does happiness on giving41. According to Paragraph 2. We can learn that . A. only those people who gave money to charity will be happy B. more givers say they feel having happy lives
51、than non-givers C. those who donate money are happier than those who volunteer D. 42% of the volunteers say they are as happy as the non-volunteers42. What causes the happiness difference?A.
