foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen"s pets and
she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea, "I don"t think it"s fair to have them as pets when
we have such a limited knowledge of them." says Isaksen.
"Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need
changing." says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected
animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may

| Two years ago,Wendy Hasnip,47,experienced a brain injury that left her speechless for two weeks. When she finally recovered, she found herself talking with what seemed to be a French accent. "I phoned a friend the other day, and she spent the first ten minutes laughing," Hasnip said at the time, "while I have nothing against the French." Hasnip suffered from foreign accent syndrome(外国口音综合症), a rare condition in which people find themselves speaking their own language like someone from a foreign country. The condition usually occurs in people who have experienced a head injury or a stroke -a sudden loss of consciousness, sensation,or movement caused by a blocked or broken blood vessel(血管)in the brain. The condition was first identified during the Second World War in a Norwegian woman whose head was injured during an attack by the German military. The woman recovered but was left with a German-sounding accent, to the horror of fellow villagers who avoided her after that. Researchers have discovered that the combined effect of the damage to several parts of the brain makes victims lengthen certain syllable,mispronounce sounds,and change the normal pitch(音高)of their voice. Those changes in speech add up to what sounds like a foreign accent. Another researcher,a phonetician(语言学者),says victims of the syndrome don"t acquire a true foreign accent. Their strangely changed speech only resembles the foreign accent with which it has a few sounds in common. When an English woman named Annie recently developed foreign accent syndrome after a stroke, she spoke with what seemed to be a Scottish accent. However, Annie"s Scottish coworkers said she didn"t sound at all like a Scot. | |||

| A. his coworkers will be afraid of him and avoid contacting with him B. he has more chance of suffering stroke again C. he will speak a fluent foreign language like native speakers D. his speech only has a few sounds in common with the foreign accent | |||

I remained stuck in my life. As a result, I became separated from my family and reached rock bottom in my life. Having reached there, I resisted transforming myself.

The moment I realized Sangeeta was sick, I gave her friend the money to buy medicines for her treatment. It took Sangeeta some time to recover from her illness. The first thing I cared about was whether she needed any more help of any kind. And she said, "Sir, you"ve done enough for me. I"m grateful to you."
