Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
In 1957 a doctor in Singapore noticed that hospitals were treating an unusual number of
influenza-like cases. Influenza is sometimes called "flu" or a "bad cold". He took samples from the
throats of patients in his hospital and was able to find the virus of this influenza.
There are three main types of the influenza virus. The most important of these are type A and B,
each of them having several subgroups. With the instruments at the hospital, the doctor recognized
that the outbreak was due to a virus in group A, but he did not know the subgroup. Then he reported
the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva. WHO published the important news
alongside reports of a similar outbreak in Hong Kong, where about 15-20 percent of the population
had become ill.
As soon as the London doctors received the package of throat samples, doctors began the standard
tests. They found that by reproducing itself with very high speed, the virus had grown more than a
million times within two days. Continuing their careful tests, the doctors checked the effect of drugs
against all the known subgroups of virus type A. None of them have any protection. This, then, was
something new, a new influenza virus, against which the people of the world had no help whatever.
Having found the virus they were working with, the two doctors now dropped it into the noses
of some specially selected animals, which get influenza much as human beings do. In a short time the
usual signs of the disease appeared. These experiments proved that the new virus was easy to catch,
but that it was not a killer. Scientists, like the general public, call it simply Asian flu.
The first discovery of the virus, however, was made in China before the disease had appeared in
other countries. Various reports showed that the influenza outbreak started in China, probably in
February 1957. By the middle March it had spread all over China. The virus was found by Chinese
doctors early in March. But China is not a member of the WHO and therefore does not report
outbreaks of disease to it. Not until two months later, when travelers carded the virus into Hong Kong,
from where it spread to Singapore, did the news of the outbreak reach the rest of the world. By this
time it was well on its way around the world.

In 1930, W. K. Kellogg made what he thought was a sensible decision, grounded in the best
economic, social and management theories of the time. Workers at his cereal plant in Battle Greek,
Mich. were told to go home two hours earlier, every day for good.
The Depression-era move was hailed in Factory and Industrial Management magazine as the
"biggest piece of industrial news since Henry Ford announced his five-dollar-a-day policy." It's
believed that industry and machines would lead to workers' paradises where all would have less work,
more free time, and yet still produce enough to meet their needs.
So what happened? Today, instead of working less, our hours have stayed steady or risen- and
today many more women work so that families can afford the trappings of suburbia. In effect, workers
chose the path of consumption over leisure.
With unemployment at a nine-year high and many workers worded about losing their jobs- or
forced to accept cutbacks in pay and benefits—work is hardly the paradise economists once
envisioned.
The modern environment would seem alien to pre-industrial laborers. For centuries, the
household -- from farms to "cottage" craftsmen -- was the unit of production. The whole family was
part of the enterprise, be it farming, blacksmithing, or baking. "In pre-industrial society, work and
family were practically the same thing," says Gillis.
The Industrial Revolution changed all that. Mills and massive iron smelters required ample labor
and constant attendance. For the first time, work and family were split. Instead of selling what they
produced, workers sold their time. With more people leaving farms to move to cities and factories,
labor became a commodity and placed on the market like any other.
Innovation gave rise to an industrial process based on machinery and mass production. The
theories of Frederick Taylor, a Philadelphia factory foreman, led to work being broken down into
component parts, with each step timed to coldly quantify jobs that skilled craftsmen had worked a
lifetime to learn. Workers resented Taylor and his stopwatch, complaining that his focus on process
stripped their jobs of creativity and pride, making them irritable. Long before anyone knew what
"stress" was, Taylor brought it to the workplace—and without sympathy.
The division of work into components that could be measured and easily taught reached its apex
in Ford's River Rouge Plant in Dearborn, Mich., where the assembly line came of age. To maximize
the production lines, businesses needed long hours from their workers. But it was no easy to sell.
Labor leaders fought back with their own propaganda. For more than a century, a key struggle
for the labor movement was reducing the amount of time workers had to spend on the job.
Between 1830 and 1930, work hours were cut nearly in half, with economist John Maynard
Keynes famously predicting in 1930 that by 2030 a 15-hour workweek would be standard. While
work had once been a means to serve God, two centuries of choices and industrialization had turned
work into an end in itself, stripped of the spiritual meaning that sustained the Puritans who came
ready to tame the wilderness.
By the end of the 1970s, companies were reaching out to spiritually drained workers by offering
more engagement while withdrawing the promise of a job for life, as the American economy faced a
stiff challenge from cheaper workers abroad. By the 1990s, technology made working from home
possible for a growing number of people. Seen as a boon at first, telecommuting and the rapidly
proliferating "electronic leash" of cell phones made work inescapable, as employees found
themselves on call 24/7. Today, almost half of American workers use computers, cell phones, E-mail,
and faxes for work during what is supposed to be nonwork time. Home is no longer a refuge but a
cozier extension of the office.
When the stock market bubble burst and the economy fell into its recent recession, workers were
forced to re-evaluate their priorities. They want a better quality of life; they're asking for more
flextime to spend with their families.
But there's still the question of fulfillment. A recent study shows that work doesn't satisfy
workers' deeper needs. "We expect more and more out of our jobs," says Hunnicutt. "We expect to
find wonderful people and experience all around us."

Ever since it was claimed that a medicine made from the Chinese three-striped box turtle could
cure cancer, demand for the product has increased, making the turtle the most expensive to be found
in China's food markets. Huge sums of money have been made selling the medicine. The turtle—
along with a few other Cuora species—was once imported into China by the pet trade.
Exporters obtained the specimens in the food markets rather than going out to collect them in the
wild. Treatment of the turtles prior to reaching the markets resulted in many of them being diseased.
Packed tightly into crates, often for journeys of several weeks without food, it is little wonder that
many specimens exported to western countries fared poorly when purchased as pets.
Throughout the Far East turtles and tortoises have featured in various cultures and certain
religions. They have also been used for hundreds of years for food and medicine. Traditional Chinese
medicine is probably the greatest threat to the three-striped box and to the thousands of other turtles
that are imported yearly into China. Turtles are well known for their longevity, which it is thought
will be passed on to those eating them. Turtle blood, bones and shells—particularly the plastron
(ventral part of the shell)—are thought to have medicinal properties and be able to cure a number of
ailments. Turtle eggs are also used for food and medicine. The medicinal value of the turtles is open
to question, and it is possible that herbs could produce the same effects. Any beneficial substances
from the turtles could also be synthesized chemically, so as to prevent the killing of turtles.
The southern part of China has become more prosperous in recent years, and the demand for
turtles has increased dramatically. Turtle dishes are served in restaurants and regarded as an expensive
delicacy, even a status symbol.
As turtle supplies in China dwindled, traders started importing the animals from Vietnam. As a
result, many Vietnamese turtles have now disappeared from their haunts in the wild. To satisfy
growing demand, importers have now turned to sources farther afield, including Cambodia, Laos,
Nepal, India, Bhutan and Indonesia.
Since biologists started studying turtles in Chinese food markets, several previously unknown
and extremely rare species have been found; some are on Appendix I of CITES. At the present rate
of collection such specimens, and even species not yet discovered, could soon be extinct. The three-
striped box turtle is simply one among dozens of other species flooding into China, but its high value
makes it a special target for collectors.

What a difference Kathleen made in my college life! She was confident where I was shaky. She
was disciplined while I was wild. She was responsible; I was lazy. We signed up for all of the same
classes. I was so impressed with her. She worked with incredible diligence and with such self-
assurance. I started to emulate her. I wanted to impress her.
One day the homework assignment was to create an exciting illustration based on a pair of shoes.
I was bursting with ideas and ran home and pulled out my favorite pair of antique thrift shop "old-
lady shoes." I concentrated and worked and sweated and created a self-perceived masterpiece!
I called Kathleen and bragged that I'd finished the assignment. "What?!" she exclaimed. "How
could you possibly be finished already?" I was so pleased with myself that I asked her if I could run
by her apartment and show her my stunning creation. "Sure," she said.
I raced down from my fifth-floor apartment, precious drawing in hand, and headed to her place.
When I got there, I held up my paper with such glowing confidence, only to have my swelled
cockiness crushed by Kathleen's reaction:
"Is that the only drawing you did?"
"Well, yes," I responded sheepishly. "Why?"
"C'mon," she said. "It's still nice out. Let's go to Washington Square Park and really do some
drawings." I was puzzled; but when she led, I willingly followed.
The whole way to the park, Kathleen animatedly talked about form, content, composition and
really studying the subjects. She described the shoes in my drawing as the kind you see on the old
women that sit in the park and feed pigeons. Her excitement was contagious.
When we got to the park, she surveyed the scene and chirped, "Over there!" She pointed to a
bench that was surrounded by discarded, crumpled paper bags, soda cans and empty cigarette packs.
An old woman sitting on the bench had fallen asleep. Kathleen handed me her drawing pad and said,
"Here. Now, draw the shoes on that woman! Draw them over and over until you really know what
they look like."
I drew and drew. I filled the sketchbook pages. They were the best I'd ever done thus far. Kathleen
watched, and I felt fueled by my captive audience. I was showing off! It was such fun.
The next day was the class critique. I felt so proud hanging my drawing up on the wall for all to
see. I knew I had drawn an illustration to be proud of. As the class discussion circled the room to my
piece, I heard my fellow students say, sensitive, accurate, beautifully stylized. I looked over at
Kathleen, and she gave me that wink and loving smile of hers. College was going to be a lot more
fun with her around.
And it was. She continually inspired me, laughed with me, sketched with me and went out
dancing with me. Our works of art were chosen for special exhibits, and we both made the dean's list.
We wore our caps and gowns together, and a few years later, I was "best woman" at her wedding.
Whatever fears I had going into college about not being able to make new friends were gently washed
away when I found my special, best friend.
After we obtained our BFA degrees, the world opened up for both of us. Now we are both
successful self-employed artists. I work in my lovely Chelsea cooperative apartment that I bought
five years ago as a freelance, illustrator, a graphic designer. Kathleen, a sculptor and mural painter.
Oops! I gotta run. Kathleen and I are meeting for dinner and a movie.

It is simple enough to say that since books have classes—fiction, biography, poetry—we should
separate them and take from each what it is right and what should give us. Yet few people ask from
books what can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking
of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of
history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconception when we
read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his
fellow-worker and accomplice. If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing
yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as
widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible fineness, from the twist and turn of
the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself
in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting
to give you, something far more definite. The 32 chapters of a novel—if we consider how to read a
novel first—are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building: but words are
more impalpable than bricks; reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing. Perhaps
the quickest way to understand the elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read, but to write; to
make your own experiment with the dangers and difficulties of words. Recall, then, some event that
has left a distinct impression on you—how at the comer of the street, perhaps, you passed two people
talking. A tree shock; an electric light danced; the tone of the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole
vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.
But when you attempt to reconstruct it in words, you will find that it breaks into a thousand
conflicting impressions. Some must be subdued; others emphasized; in the process you will lose,
probably, all grasp upon the emotion itself. Then turn from your blurred and littered pages to the
opening pages of some great novelist—Defoe, Jane Austen, Hardy. Now you will be better able to
appreciate their mastery. It is not merely that we are in the presence of a different person—Defoe,
Jane Austen, or Thomas Hardy—but that we are living in a different world. Here, in Robinson Crusoe,
we are trudging a plain high road; one thing happens after another; the fact and the order of the fact
is enough. But if the open air and adventure mean everything to Defoe, they mean nothing to Jane
Austen. Here is the drawing- room, and people talking, and by the many mirrors of their talk revealing
their characters. And if, when we have accustomed ourselves to the drawing- room and its reflections,
we turn to Hardy, we are once more spun around. The moors are round us and the stars are above our
heads. The other side of the mind is now exposed—the dark side that comes uppermost in solitude,
not the light side that shows in company. Our relations are not towards people, but towards Nature
and destiny. Yet different as these worlds are, each is consistent with itself. The maker of each is
careful to observe the laws of his own perspective, and however great a strain they may put upon,
they will never confuse us, as lesser writers so frequently do, by introducing two different kinds of
reality into the same book. Thus to go from one great novelist to another—from Jane Austen to Hardy,
from Peacock to Trollope, from Scott to Meredith—is to be wrenched and uprooted; to be thrown this
way and then that. To read a novel is a difficult and complex art. You must be capable not only of
great fineness of perception, but of great boldness of imagination if you are going to make use of all
that the novelist—the great artist—gives you.
