Dune Series by Frank Herbert

For some years, my mother worked for a charity as President and Secretary. Selling raffle tickets(兑奖

券)was her main means of bringing in the charity's much-needed funds. We girls would accompany her,

selling tickets with great success. My father made and donated beautiful wooden toys, jewellery boxes and

other lovely items as prizes.

Frank Herbert's Dune series is my white whale. I don't know if I will ever be able to finish them all as

they are long and dense, but I know I would be remiss (疏忽的)if I left them off this list, as they truly are

legends. And a  new Dune movie is  coming---so be sure to  read the original  before the second screen

adaptation lands in 2020.

Now my sister was always coming up with "good ideas", most of which didn't work out to plan. But

that didn't deter her. She had many just waiting to be tested. When she was eight and I was just five, we

第  2 ⻚，共 6⻚

had a wonderful idea for a business adventure. We decided we would sell raffle tickets for charity, and that

charity was us!

A Wisconsin man made international headlines  this week after a dog lick  (舔)led to  a rare infection

resulting in the loss of part of his legs and arms. Greg Manteufel, 48, was diagnosed(诊断)with  a blood

infection from capnocytophaga canimorsus(⽝咬⼆氧化碳嗜纤维菌 ),a bacterium found in dog and cat

mouths. Doctors  believe  Manteufel became  infected after  his  body was  touched by  a dog's  tongue.

Manteufel's case was serious.

So one afternoon, we told our mother we were going to play in the park with our cousins as we did most

days after school. But instead, we walked around the streets armed with a raffle book, a pen and a large

cloth bag to carry the money.

We'd accompanied our mother many times when she sold tickets, so people were familiar with us when

we appeared at their doors. Despite the blank looks they received when asking about the prizes on offer,

they were very generous.Although there were no actual prizes, our mother's previous track record enabled

us to sell nearly the whole book of raffle tickets.

Capnocytophaga is a bacterium found in the mouths of dogs, cats and even humans, and is considered

normal, according  to the CDC.  Up to  74 percent of  dogs and  57 percent of  cats have some  form of

capnocytophaga  in their  mouths. There  are  many species  of  capnocytophaga. One  of  those species

--capnocytophaga canimorsus,  commonly found  in dog and  cat mouths--can  potentially cause  serious

infection when passed on to humans.

Like a little pair of lottery(彩票)winners, we walked home and proudly showed off our takings. But our

enjoyment of this sudden wealth was short-lived, and our plans for spending it quickly failed. Our angry

mother took us back to every ticket buyer, making us apologise and give the money back. Thankfully, our

sweet neighbours didn' t make a big deal of our "clever" misbehavior and thus my mother's fundraising

career could continue safely. We were taught a good lesson by our mother that day.Also I remember my

sister's entrepreneurial(企业家的)spirit dried up a bit after that.

It's possible to test pets for the presence of the bacteria, but an animal might have the bacteria one day

but not have it the next, according to the CDC. And it's not practical to treat animals with medicine to get

rid of the bacteria because it's a normal part of their biology.

People are typically infected with capnocytophaga canimorsus from an animal bite, usually a dog bite.

Some people, like Manteufel, become infected without a bite, if an animal carrying the bacteria licks them

and the saliva(唾液)touches an open area on the skin, like a cut.

24.What did the author's father do?

A. He got prizes ready.

B. He sold handmade items.

The bacterium is common, but becoming seriously  ill from an infection is not. "It's just really, really,

really rare," said Scott  Weese, a professor at Ontario Veterinary  College's Centre for Public Health and

Zoonoses. "The risk caused by a dog is really low. Most dogs are carrying this bacterium in their mouth,

but few people get sick." Experts don't know exactly how many people get infected with capnocytophaga

annually because there's no centralized record of cases. But all agree that serious infections happen once

in a blue moon.

C. He was in charge of a charity.

D. He helped design raffle tickets.

25. What does the underlined word "deter" in Paragraph 2mean?

A. Embarrass.      B. Shock.          C. Discourage.

D. Mislead.

26. What can be learned about the author and her sister while selling raffle tickets?

A. They ran into their mother.

B. They met some generous strangers.

28. What happened to Greg Manteufel?

C. They got lost while walking around the streets.

D. They took advantage of people's trust in their mother.

27. What lesson did the author and her sister learn?

A. He got bitten by a dog.

B. He fell seriously ill after kissing a dog.

C. He got an infection after a severe injury.

A. Honesty is the best policy.

B. What's done can' t be undone.

D. Good advice is beyond all price.

D. He was seriously infected by a dog's lick.

C. Misfortune never comes alone.

29. What do the figures given in Paragraph 2show?

C

A. Dogs and cats can be dangerous.
