V. READING COMPREHENSION ( 10 PTS)
Read the following passages and choose the best answer Passage A
Smallpox was the first widespread disease to be eliminated by human intervention. 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 two additional years to be 6
completely sure. In May 1980, a formal statement made to the global community. Today
smallpox is no longer a threat to humanity. Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide.

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of
oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign
language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute
have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very
picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or
unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A
nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots
read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture
signs also guide, warm, and instruct people.
While verbalization is most common form of language, other systems and techniques also
express human thoughts and feelings.
