闯关习题描述一下时文录音

If asked, “What was the most important health story of 2014?” It is certainly the word Ebola.

Ebola has killed more than 6,800 people and infected more than three times that number.

But this is not the first time the world has heard of Ebola. The virus spent many years in African forests far from human populations. Every ten years, or so, it would appear in small villages and kill a few hundred people.

But the Ebola outbreak that began in 2014 is very different than all that came before. This time, Ebola is sickening thousands of people in West Africa. It crossed into cities and over national borders. The world reacted with shock and fear. And Ebola continues to kill.

The Ebola outbreak began in rural villages a year ago. Months passed before health officials identified the virus. But governments also increased education efforts. Health officials warned people to take safety guidelines seriously. Health workers walked the streets teaching people about the signs of Ebola. Today health workers continue to go door-to-door looking for possible cases.

To stop Ebola, doctors must separate infected people from non-infected people. Health care workers must have special training to treat the sick. They must wear head-to-toe protective clothing. In Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, people no longer shake hands or hug. People can no longer care for their sick or bury their dead in traditional ways.

French researchers are developing an Ebola test to provide results in 15 minutes. The current Ebola test takes 24 hours. Japan and the United States are also working on developing faster tests.
