Ⅰ.阅读理解
In France, there once lived a man named Louis Pasteur, who was a doctor of science. The thing that concerned him most was the disease rabies (狂犬病).
“I must find the rabies germs that hide inside people and make them so sic that they die,” he thought.“Once I find them, I'll thin of a way to kill them.”
Many people thought Pasteur was wasting his time. Some laughed at him and said, “You'll never do it.”
Pasteur didn't care what people thought; he believed in himself. He kept right on working.
At the same time, in Germany, a boy named Joey was about to get into trouble. He was teasing a dog. But this dog was sic with rabies, which made the dog mad. Unfortunately, the dog bit him. The rabies germs were passed from the dog to Joey.
Soon the little boy was very sick. His parents could only wait. But then there was news. Joey's mother saw it and shouted for joy.“A doctor of science has found a way to save sic people like Joey!” she said. The man, of course, was Louis Pasteur. Joey's parents quickly prepared Joey for the long journey to Paris.
“Dr Pasteur,” said the mother.“Our little boy is very sick. Can you help us?”
“Perhaps,” said Pasteur. “I've invented a vaccine (疫苗). It is strong enough to kill the rabies germs. Joey will be the first person to have my rabies vaccine.”
“The first person?” asked Joey's worried father nervously. “Will it be dangerous? Are you sure it will work?”
“I believe it will,” said Pasteur.
Slowly the vaccine killed more and more of the rabies germs. Joey began to get well. Dr Pasteur's vaccine was a success!
From then on no one had to be afraid of rabies anymore, and people who had laughed at him before, respected him. He is recognized as one of the world's greatest scientists.
