It is located some 240 kilometers east of the Horn of Africa and 380 kilomete
17、rs south of the Arabian Peninsula.So why visit Socotra? Because of Socotras isolation from the rest of the world, it has developed its own special ecosystem( 生态系统) free from any outside influence. One good example of this special plant life is the dragons blood tree, with its branches and leaves tha
18、t grow at a strange angle from a thick trunk. Scientists found that up to 37% of the plant life found on the islands is not found anywhere else on Earth. The island group also has many unique(独特的) birds. These birds have different appearance from other species. Scientists still do not fully understa
19、nd these birds and each year, they stay in the islands to study them.The natives of Socotra are of Arab, Somali, and South Asian origins.

20、ple living there. People on Socotra also practice their own conservation techniques, such as alternating(轮流安排) between herding and fishing.

The unique culture of the Socotri peopleDThis years flu season is shaping up to be a bad one. The new type of flu virus is more severe(严重)than most. In addition many people find the vaccine(疫苗) th
25、is year to be less effective，and others are wondering if they should still get a flu shot. The answer is yes.Each summer, scientists try to make a best guess on which variants(变体) are going to be more common in the coming year. They look at data from other countries, and then they make the shot to m
26、atch. Sometimes a vaccine doesnt work well because some variants change too much. Thats why in any year, even when youre vaccinated, you can get the flu. The shot is about reducing your risk, not getting rid of it.“Less” and “more” effective are relative terms, so we need to focus more on absolute r
27、isks. In 2010, researchers published an in-depth analysis of all flu shot studies.

28、ints. In studies in which the flu shot was considered ineffective, 1.1 percent of vaccinated people had the flu compared with 2.4 percent of unvaccinated people. The ARR was 1.3 percentage points.Lets say this years flu vaccine is even worse than we think. Maybe the ARR will be as low as 1 percentag
29、e point. Thats still not that bad. Given the millions who are likely to suffer from flu and the thousands of deaths each year, this is a big payoff in public health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that 9 million to 36 million people become ill with the flu each year in the
30、 United States. Somewhere between 140,000 and 710.000 of them require hospitalization, and 12,000 to 56,000 die each year.No vaccine is perfectly protective in any year. But to minimize(最小化) your chances of illness, yes, you should still get the flu shot this year, and any year.32. What is the secon

34、all academies were set up by leading football clubs so their coaches could run trials to discover and train talented boys from as young as eight as potential(潜在的) players for their first team.This means that in Britain there are at least 9,000 boys at any one time attending academies after school wh
