do your friends discuss aids among themselves? what are some strategies to stay safe? when a teen feels that the two of you are exploring a subject together, he/she is likely to share his/her own thoughts.36. whats the purpose of the passage?a. to explain what tough subjects involve.b. to offer tips on how to talk about tough subjects.c. to show the importance of tough subjects.d. to give some examples of tough subjects.37. in the first paragraph, the underlined part “tune us out” can be explained as “”.a. go along well with usb. rely much on usc. understand what we saidd. pay no attention to what we said38. according to the passage, the father mentioned may agree that .a. parents should do certain research before talking about a serious subject with their childrenb. parents should avoid talking about such topics as alcohol and drugs with their childrenc. children should turn to their parents first if they need any helpd. children should see a doctor or read a book if they meet with big heath problems39. as for a tough subject, parents should avoid .a. talking much about their childrens friendsb. sharing information with all their family membersc. choosing the formal way to communicate with their childrend. being curious about their childrens opinions40. in the case of discussing aids, what parents can do is to .a. share opinions with their colleagues or friendsb. inspire their children to express their ideasc. remind their children of the danger of itd. give their children as much advice as possibledlouis pasteur was a world-famous french chemist and biologist. he is particularly famous for his work on rabies vaccine (狂犬病疫苗). the rabies virus enters the body through the bite of an infected animal or through infected saliva (唾液) entering an existing wound. after experimenting with the saliva of animals suffering from the disease, pasteur concluded that the disease rests in the central nervous system of the body. by studying the tissues of infected animals rabbits, pasteur was able to produce a form of the virus. this could be used for inoculation (接種).on july 6, 1885, pasteur tested his pioneering rabies vaccine on a man for the first time. he saved the life of a young man called joseph meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog. pasteur was urged to treat him with his new method. the treatment lasted 10 days and at the end he recovered and remained healthy. since then thousands have been saved by this treatment.on march 1886, pasteur was invited to present his results to the academy of sciences and in 1888 went on to found the pasteur institute in paris. this was a pioneering clinic for the study of infectious diseases, the treatment of rabies and a centre for teaching. pasteur directed the institute personally until he died. the pasteur institute is still one of the most important centers in the world.pasteur became a national hero and was honored in many ways. he died at saint-cloud on september 28, 1895 and was given a state funeral at the cathedral of notre dame.modifications (修改) of the pasteur method are still used in rabies treatment today. a newer vaccine which contains virus prepared from human cells grown in the laboratory is safer and requires a shorter course of injections.41. a person can develop rabies . a. if he is bitten by a rabbit b. if he touches infected saliva c. if infected saliva enters his wounds d. if he touches an infected animal42. rabies probably can destroy a persons . a. nervous systemb. blood c. skin d. saliva43. what can we learn about pasteurs test of his vaccine on the man?
