GENEVA: global health officials have set out new guidelines governing research on smallpox
due to fears that the deadly virus could leak from laboratories or wind up in terrorist hands, UN
officials said on Saturday.
National health authorities meeting at the UN’s World Health Assembly approved moves to
tightly control research, including a ban on scientists building the virus from scratch using rapidly
developing lab technology.
“This sets out the principles by which research will be allowed,” said Ian Simpson, spokesman
for the UN World Health Organization (WHO), host to the annual policymaking summit.
Smallpox was declared officially eradicated in 1980 and all known samples either destroyed or
sent to WHO-controlled centres in Russia and the United States, where research on vaccines
continues.
The new rules explicitly ban laboratories from making smallpox from scratch for fear it could
fall into terrorist hands. Scientists will, however, be permitted to create small segments of the virus
for research.

9. The scientists were frightened with smallpox virus spread because …

A. it has been officially eradicated in 1980
B. WHO authorities have set out new guidelines
C. the new rules ban lab oratories from making smallpox vaccine
D. it could leak from laboratories or fall into the terrorist hands

Wade withdraws from U.S. basketball team

(Reuters) - Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade withdrew his name from the player pool for the
U.S. Olympic basketball team on Thursday because his injured left knee will require surgery,
USA Basketball said.
After receiving the diagnosis from the Heat team physician, the All-Star guard, who helped
Miami win the NBA title in five games over the Oklahoma City Thunder, informed USA
Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo that he was having the surgery soon and would be
unable to compete in London.
"As many people may know, throughout the season, I struggled with a recurring knee issue,"
Wade said in a statement. "After the championship game, I visited with my doctors for a
round of comprehensive medical tests, and the recent results dictate the need for surgery.
"While every part of me wants to be in London, I need to take this time to do what's best to
improve my health and allow me to continue to play the game I love."
Wade was the U.S. team's leading scorer in their run to 2008 Olympic gold in Beijing, scoring
a game-high 27 points as the Americans beat Spain 118-107 in the Olympic final.
Despite having his knee drained during the NBA playoffs, Wade averaged over 22 points a
game during Miami's championship series triumph over the Thunder.
Wade's exit from the U.S. squad left 17 players in the mix for 12 spots on the Olympic team
following injuries that removed several players from consideration, including Derrick Rose of
the Chicago Bulls and Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic.

HUMAN STEM CELLS BECOME NERVE CELLS

WASHINGTON, D.C.: Stem cells taken from human embryos were coaxed into becoming motor
neurons in an experiment that might one day help scientists repair damaged nervous system, researchers
reported on Sunday.

The study supports claims by stem cell researchers that they can train embryonic stem cells to develop
on demand into any type of tissue in the body

They hope this technology will eventually transform medicine and allow cures for a range of diseases –
in this case, nervous system injuries and diseases such as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
 Su-Chun Zhang and colleagues said their trial and error study helped them learn how motor neuron cells,
which are key to the nervous system, develop in the first place.

Writing in the journal Nature Biotechnology, Zhang and colleagues said they delivered a carefully timed
cocktail of proteins to their cells to direct their development.

25.    The text tells us about ….

a.       the journal Nature Biotechnology

b.       the nervous system damage

c.        the research on the human embryos

d.       the trial and error study on motor neuron cells

e.       the experiment on nervous system injury medicine

26.    The generic structure of the text above is ….  

a.       goal, materials, steps

b.       newsworthy event, background event, the sources

c.        general statement, explanation

d.       orientation, event, re-orientation

e.       thesis, arguments, recommendation

27.    What did Zhang and his colleagues actually want to develop?

a.       stem cells

b.       medicine for damaged nervous system

c.        tissue in the body

d.       motor neuron cell for nervous system

e.       cocktail of proteins

28.    Stem cells taken from human embryos were coaxed into becoming motor neurons….

SMOKING AND DRIVING DON’T MIX

VIENNA : Not only drinking, but also smoking while driving poses greater health and accident risks.

Fiddling with cigarettes and lighters can distract a driver, increasing the chances of an accident. By the
same token, cigarette smoke with its carbon monoxide fumes can slow down drivers’ reflexes.

The Austrian motorists federation OAMTC said that in Austria, smoking poses a further risk. If, for
example, a driver has an accident while trying to recover a cigarette accidentally dropped on the floor, then his
insurance company may not have to cover the damages because the driver was culpable of gross negligence
while at the wheel.
