LIVING WITH A HOUSE RABBIT
0 In your last letter you asked me to give you some advice on how to look after a
00 rabbit. Rabbits can make them very good pets and can become wonderful companions
1 because they are intelligent, social animals. I am glad that I can give you information to
2 help you understand rabbits so better. The House Rabbit Association recommends that
3 you keep your rabbit inside of the house rather than outdoors. Rabbits may run freely,
4 but it is best for most to be in a cage for the first few days, until they have get used to
5 both you and to the new surroundings. Very young rabbits need to be in a cage for a
6 more longer time than older rabbits. It is natural for a rabbit to chew on furniture and
7 rugs. To prevent this happening, you need to give it safe things for to chew, such as
8 plastic or rubber toys. Electrical cords are very dangerous and they must be hidden from
9 view so that the rabbit can not reach them. A further danger to rabbits is other type
10 animals. However, rabbits and cats can get along fine. Even rabbits and dogs they get on,
but dogs have to be trained to respond to commands before which they can be trusted in
the company of rabbits, and even then the supervision will be needed.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION
There are some diseases for which we know no cure. For many of these, however,
scientists have been able to discover a means of prevention. Smallpox is such a disease.
In the 18th century, millions of people died of smallpox, while many others who
recovered from the disease were left scared for life. Today, it is rare to find a case at all.
By 1780, doctors had noticed that once person had smallpox, he became immune to it.
From this observation, the theory of inoculation was developed. Inoculation is a way of
deliberately giving a person a disease by placing disease matter under the skin. When this is
done, the person may develop a mild case of the disease, but from then on he is safe from a
severe attack.
Using this principle, an English doctor named Edward Jenner set to work against
smallpox. He found that persons who had had a milder disease called cowpox could not catch
smallpox. The cowpox seemed to make them immune. By taking some bacteria from the arm
of a person who was ill with cowpox, and giving it to a healthy person, Jenner found that he
could transfer the immunity. Jenner’s process came to be known as vaccination, from the Latin
word “vacca”, meaning “cow”. Because of vaccination, smallpox, one of the man’s greatest
enemies, has been practically wiped out.
1. While not directly stated, it may be inferred from the article that__________
A. There is no good cure for smallpox. B. smallpox has almost disappeared.
C. smallpox and cowpox are similar diseases. D. smallpox can disfigure people who suffer
from it.
2. This article as a whole tells us__________
A. about an English doctor named Edward Jenner B. all about inoculation.
C. all about vaccination. D. how a terrible disease was conquered.
3. Vaccination means__________
A. Wiping out smallpox. B. Preventing diseases by prescribing
medicine.
C. transferring immunity from one person to another. D. protecting cows from cowpox.
4. Inoculation against smallpox means__________
A. giving a person some medicine to take. B. placing diseased matter under his
skin.
C. injecting him with some drugs. D. deliberately coming into contact with smallpox
patients.
5. Which sentence is NOT true?
A. The principle of inoculation was well-known before 1700.
B. People who have been ill with cowpox are immune to smallpox.
C. Vaccination can prevent smallpox. D. In the 18th century, millions of people died of
smallpox
