Dear Editor，
Brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its citizens. The problem is that the people running the government refuse to accept new ideas. By banning all fast—food restaurants and discount（折扣）stores， they take away all the places kids can afford to shop.
These people forget that when they were young， they could go to the South Street Soda Fountain and get an ice—cream soda for 25 cents. Today you can’t find an ice—cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than $2！ Where can kids go for a snack？
There is not a single restaurant in Brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than $100. Add a 15% tip and sales tax and you need to spend nearly $125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for about $12. Have you noticed that Brockingham families never dine in Brockingham？ Fast—food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after—school job. Fast—food restaurants are the busiest during the early supper hours when students are able to work， while the fancy（高档的）food restaurants satisfy late—night diners’ need. Working in one of these establishments requires working shifts that are too late for most students. The City Council claims that local businessmen， rather than national chains（连锁店）， should benefit from the tourist business. I agree that it is important to support local businesses， but I think the fast—food restaurants would encourage more people to shop in Brockingham.
Another thing that annoys me is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store. If I need a tire for my bike， I have a choice of buying one at Surf and Peddle Sport Shop for $15 or driving to Parkersburg Discount Center where I can buy the same kind of tire for $9. Again， I think the ban on all food chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city.

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 （取样）from the throats of patients and in his hospital he was able to find the virus（病毒）of this influenza. There were 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（爆发）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 along with the reports of a similar outbreak in Hong Kong， where about 15—20% 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 at 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 gave 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 then 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 of 1957. By the middle of March it had spread all over China. The virus was found by Chinese doctors early in March. But China was not a member of the World Health Organization then and therefore did not report outbreaks of disease to it. Not until two months later， when travelers carried the virus into Hong Kong， from where it spreaded to Singapore， did the news of the outbreak reach the rest of the world. By this time it was well started on its way around the world.
From then on， WHO’s weekly reports described the steady spread of this great virus outbreak， which within four months swept through every continent.
5. The doctor in Singapore performed a valuable service by ___ .
A. finding the subgroup of the virus
B. developing a cure
C. keeping his patients apart from others
D. reporting the outbreak to Geneva
6. One interesting thing about the virus in the story was that it___ .
A. was especially weak
B. was similar to other viruses
C. could reproduce with great speed
D. had samples frozen and packed in dry ice
7. The experiments in giving the virus to animals proved that this type of influenza was easy to catch ___ .
A. but was not deadly
B. and had rather slight effects
C. and could possibly cause death
D. and did not have the usual signs
8. In order to keep contact with a disease such as influenza， WHO must have ___ .
A. highly trained experts
B. co—operation from every doctor
C. good reporting services
D. time to study the facts
9. One thing necessary for discovering influenza outbreak is ___ .
A. doctors and hospital services
B. drugs to fight the disease
C. the United Nations
D. the sick Chinese
