According to some Greek writers on medical history, the outbreak of 412 BC was of influenza. The same has been suggested of the sickness that swept thro

30、ugh the Greek army attacking Syracuse in 395 BC. Flu is a disease that moves most quickly among people living in crowded conditions, hence it is likely to attack armies. In April 1918, flu broke out among American troops stationed in France. It quickly spread through all the armies but caused relati

31、vely few deaths. Four months later, however, a second outbreak started which proved to be a killer. It killed not only the old and already sick but also healthy young adults. It went through every country in the world, only a few distant islands in the South Atlantic and the Pacific remaining untouc

32、hed. Before the great outbreak ended, it had killed at least 15 million people. Medical science is still not certain what hit us in 1918. The virus of influenza (流感病毒) was not found until 1933, so all that today can be said about the 1918 outbreak is the kind of antibodies it produced. The first big

33、 advance was also made in 1933, then a team of British doctors found the type A influenza virus. In 1940, a doctor of the United States found type B.

Before 1936 people didnt know what caused influenza.B. A Group of American doctors first discovered the types of influenzaC. All kinds of va

38、ccine can not prevent every kind of influenza virus.D.

What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications
