dr. brown asked. thallium poisoning is extremely rare. a few days ago, i was reading a novel called a pale horse by agatha christie, nurse maitlan explained. in the book, somebody uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms are described. theyre exactly the same as the babys. youre very thoughtful and you may be right, another doctor said. well carry out some tests and find out whether its thallium or not. tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium, a rare metallic substance used in making special glass. once they knew the cause of the illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. she soon recovered and was sent back to qatar. later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide (杀虫剂) used in qatar. 44. the one who first suggested the correct cause of the babys illness was _. a. a doctor in qatar b. dr. brown c. nurse maitlan d. agatha christie 45. as far as we can tell from the passage, agatha christie _. a. had spent a long time studying the babys case b. visited the baby in the hospital at hammersmith c. had never met this babyd. gave nurse maitlan some advice on the phone 46. it seems likely from the passage that the babys illness had something to do with _. a. a harmful substance used to kill insects b. a dangerous pair of glasses c. the water in qatar d. a dead writer （c）in earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods. in reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. a single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs . the american scientist and statesman, benjamin franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. in the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). this device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning. modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). a flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second. scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. lightning hits the empire state building in new york city 30 to 48 times a year. in the united states alone it kills an average of one person every day. the safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress. also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things. with lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry.47. people once thought lightning came from _. a. the sky b. the gods c. the earth d. nature48. according to the passage what do you think all buildings need?
