Under this pressure their whole way of life, even if their bodies, became radically (S6) changed. They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey-kil

During the early stages of the industrial revolution, perhaps one in every seventh deaths is Europes crowded cities were caused by the disease. From now on, though, western eyes, missing the global picture,

40、 saw the trouble going into decline. With occasional breaks for war, the rates of death and infection in the Europe and America dropped steadily through the 19th and 20th centuries. In the 1950s, the introduction of antibiotics(抗菌素)strengthened the trend in rich countries, and the antibiotics were a

In the mid-1980s the frequency of infections and deaths started to pick up again around the world. Where tuberculosis vanished, it came back; in many places where it had never been away, it gre

Instead, this (73) other person told us a story, it he said was quite well known, (74) about an American who had been invited to an Arab meal at (75) one of the countries o

46、f the Middle East. The American hasnt (76) been told very much about the kind of food he might expect. If he had known about American food, he might have behaved (77) better.Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to him, very much as a napkin (餐巾） Picking it (78) up, he put it into his collar, so that it falls across his shirt.
