  Friday, January 30—Health officials are worried about the flu. But this isn't the same kind of flu that might have kept you out of school last week. It's the bird flu, which has 1 to 10 Asian countries.
  The disease affects birds such as chickens and ducks, and can 2 spread to humans. So far, only people who have handled chickens have been infected. Although there is no sign of the disease spreading from human to human, experts are not ruling out(排除) that possibility.
  The disease first infected humans in Hong Kong in 1997, but appeared in Italy over 100 years ago. This year, 3 10 people have died from the disease, and health experts fear it could become worse. If the virus(病毒) continues to grow at a fast speed, it could become a bigger problem than SARS, which 4 about 800 people last year.
  To prevent the situation from becoming 5 , infected chickens and ducks throughout Asia are being killed. China has already killed tens of 6 of birds. Scientists are also working as hard as they can to create a vaccine(疫苗) to protect people, but it will probably not be ready for at least 7 six months.
  “We have a window of opportunity here to deal with this disease,”said Dr. Klaus Stohr of the World Health Organization.“With SARS we said we wanted to put things back in a box; here we want to keep things in the box. It won't come out. We have a good chance of controlling this.”

答案和解析
【分析】1. 由第二段第一句...spread to humans.可知填spread。spread to 蔓延到。
2. also 也。这种病毒会感染禽类,例如鸡鸭,也能传染给人类。
3. at most 至多,at least 至少,at last 最后,as much as 和……一样多。由后句it could become worse可知疾病仍将继续蔓延,故至少有10人死于这种疾病。
4. 若果这种病毒继续快速增长,它将成为一个大问题,比去年导致800人死亡的SARS还要严重。kill 杀死。
5. 由上文...fear it could become worse.可知填worse。为了防止病情继续恶化。
6. tens of thousands of 成千上万的。
7. another作定语修饰six months,指“另外六个月”。
