army.Actually，many of them have been found in almost every field.Early in this century，a group of physicians were trying to discover the cause of the disease called yellow fever.At that time it was one of the worst diseases known.Thousands of people died of yellow fever every year.It had been suggested that the disease was caused by the bite of a certain mosquito (蚊子)That is，it was thought that a certain kind of mosquito would bite a person who was ill with yellow fever and the mosquito would fly elsewhere，bite another person and give him the disease.To prove whether or not this was true，one of the physicians，Dr James Carol，allowed such a mosquito to bite himself after it had bitten a patient with yellow fever.He knew that the bite of this mosquito might cause his death.Dr Carol became very ill，but recovered from the disease in the end.The risk this hero took，however，helped to save the lives of many millions of people.1According to the passage，_.Ayellow fever is still a disease difficult to get rid ofBa lot of people have died of yellow fever every year nowCyellow fever is no longer a disease which leads to death nowDpeople no longer suffer from yellow fever now2From the

he saved a lot of people4The best headline for this passage is _.AA famous doctorBAn unnecessary deathCA heroic doctorDA successful experimentBWe can almost always find an opportunity for kindness.I filled my afternoon with small acts of kindness today and they didnt take much time or effort，but I hope they made a small difference to the people who received them.This afternoon I went out shopping.My first stop was the supermarket.I wanted to buy some bread with chocolate for my little daughter Rita.After I got the bread，I went on to my second stopa local charity (慈善) bookshop.I wanted to see if I could buy some books on unicorns for Rita.While I was there，I started a conversation with the shop assistant，during which she commented on the smell of my bread.I jokingly replied she could either avoid it (if she was on a diet) or go to the supermarket and get some.She replied she would prefer the second.“Even better.I will give you mine，”I said.I gave my bread to her and walked straight out.She seemed a little surprised.When I came out，it was raining hard.Everyone looked quite soaked.They must have been running in the rain.I noticed a homeless lady selling the Big Issue (a magazine that supports homeless people) and she looked especially cold，so I gave her all my money to buy her magazines.I then went back to my car.I had to pay for two hours of parking instead of one because I didnt have the correct change.So I still had an hour left on my parking.I waited until I saw a young couple drive in.I gave them one magazine and they were a little surprised and quite pleased.You see，doing acts of kindness is that easy.5What can we know from Paragraph 1?ABeing kind to others nowadays is not easy.BThe writer did some acts of kindness today.CThe writer does some acts
