(天花) Predict what the text is about according to the pictures and title. The text may be about Edward Jenner and how he defeated smallpox. Edward Jenner and the Battle Against Smallpox Smallpox used to be one of the worst global diseases. It killed millions of people in history. However, we do not hear much about it anymore. Why? Because it is no longer around in nature. This happened mainly because of the work of Edward Jenner (1749-1823), an English doctor and scientist. Jenner did not have an easy childhood. His parents died when he was young, and his elder brother raised him. It was difficult for him to do v. 抚养；抚育 well in school, but he had a passion for nature. At 13, he became an apprentice to a doctor for eight years. An apprentice is a young person who learns a job by working for someone else. It was hard for doctors to be well-respected at that time because modern medicine had not fully developed. When he was 21, he studied at a hospital in London. After he finished his studies, Jenner went back to his home in the countryside because he liked it more. There, he became a family doctor and people started to hear about his good work. In his free time, he continued to do research and study nature. 钟爱；热衷于 学徒 It was while working as a doctor that Jenner discovered that milkmaids—women who milk cows—rarely got smallpox. They often got cowpox, a disease like smallpox, but these milkmaids did not get very sick and they did not die. He wondered: Do milkmaids get protected from smallpox just because they often get cowpox? To test this, Jenner came up with the idea of first giving some people cowpox, then giving them smallpox. These people did not get the smallpox! After many other tests, he realized that cowpox could actually be used to protect people from getting smallpox. 强调句型 挤奶女工 牛痘 Jenner invented a new word to describe what he had created:“vaccine".
