Around the age of sixteen, you must make one of the biggest decisions of your life. Do I stay on at school and hopefully go on to university (61- later)?

VI. Read the following text then answer the questions that follow by circling its corresponding letter marked A, B, C, or D.

Smallpox (đậu mùa) was the first widespread disease to be eliminated by human intervention (can thiệp). In May, 1966, the World Health Organization (WHO), an agency of the United Nations was authorized to initiate a global campaign to eradicate smallpox. The goal was to eliminate the disease in one decade. At the time, the disease posed a serious threat to people in more than thirty nations. Because similar projects for malaria and yellow fever had failed, few believed that smallpox could actually be eradicated but eleven years after the initial organization of the campaign, no cases were reported in the field. The strategy was not only to provide mass vaccinations but also to isolate patients with active smallpox in order to contain the spread of the disease and to break the chain of human transmission. Rewards for reporting smallpox assisted in motivating removed from contact with others and treated. At the same time, the entire village where the victim had lived was vaccinated. By April of 1978 WHO officials announced that they had isolated the last known case of the disease but health workers continued to search for new cases for additional years to be completely sure.

Drugs are one of the (61- medical) profession’s most valuable tools. Doctors prescribe drugs to (62- treat) or prevent many diseases. Every year, penicillin and other (63- germ-killing) drugs save the lives of countless victims of pneumonia and other dangerous infectious diseases. Vaccines prevent attacks by such diseases as (64- measles), polio (viêm tủy), and smallpox (đậu mùa). The use of these and many other drugs (65- has) helped millions of people live longer, healthier lives than would (66- otherwise) have been possible. Almost all our most important drugs, however, were unknown before the 1900’s. For example, the sulfa drugs and antibiotics did not come into use (67- until) the late 1930’s and early 1940’s. Before that time, about 25 percent of all pneumonia victims in the United States died of the disease. The new drugs quickly reduced the (68- death) rate from pneumonia to less than 5 percent. Polio vaccine was introduced in 1955. At that time, polio struck about 30,000 to 50,000 Americans each year. (69- By) 1960, the use of the vaccine has reduced the number of new polio cases to about 3,000 a year. In 1900, most Americans did not live (70- past) the age of 47.

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made (71- use) of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral (72- speech).

Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be (79- found) in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals.
