Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening in society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is the website called HappyNews. The man behind HappyNews is Byron Reese. Reese set up HappyNews because he thought other news sources were giving people an unbalanced view of the world.

A. improving B. explaining C. editing D. worsening Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Societies depend heavily on the ocean for food, transportation, recreation, waste disposal, and minerals. Clearly, some of these uses are in conflict, and four of these five major uses provide a vehicle for transmission of disease agents to humans. The primary source of marine borne illness is seafood. Currently seafood is in high demand, both in industrialized and emerging nations, and it continues to be a source of infectious diseases in humans throughout the world. Transportation has also contributed to waterborne infectious diseases through the consumption of contaminated water and seafood by ship passengers and crew. There is also evidence that ships are responsible for the dissemination of exotic species through the discharge of dirty water into coastal seas. Recreation is another source of exposure through ingestion of seawater or contact of skin and mucous membranes. In the final decade of the 20th century, it still appeared that waterborne diseases of humans were as prevalent as they were at the start of century. For example, waterborne illnesses continued to be a major killer of children throughout the world. It is estimated that 60% of the world's population lives in coastal zones, the area within a few kilometers of the shoreline. Disease incidence is increasing worldwide, promoted by both natural phenomena such as El Niđo and human activities, including sewage disposal. Ancient diseases like cholera still cause epidemics while new agents of disease continue to be discovered. Although the nature of diseases such as cholera and dysentery is well understood, the cause of outbreaks of these diseases is unresolved. Experts still debate how cholera epidemics arise despite a detailed understanding of the genetics, chemical structure, and mode of action of the cholera toxin. As new diseases infect people through contaminated drinking water and seafood, recently discoveries have confirmed their existence on Earth for thousands of years. The apparent emergence of these could be the result of man-made influences or may reflect more sensitive modern detection technologies. Whatever the cause, it is clear that infectious diseases, including waterborne ones conveyed by the ocean, still plague humankind. (Adapted from: Question 8: The main idea of the passage is possibly ___.

Societies depend heavily on the ocean for food, transportation, recreation, waste disposal, and minerals. Clearly, some of these uses are in conflict, and four of these five major uses provide a vehicle for transmission of disease agents to humans. The primary source of marine borne illness is seafood. Currently seafood is in high demand, both in industrialized and emerging nations, and it continues to be a source of infectious diseases in humans throughout the world.
17. Transportation has also contributed to waterborne infectious diseases through the consumption of contaminated water and seafood by ship passengers and crew. There is also evidence that ships are responsible for the dissemination of exotic species through the discharge of dirty water into coastal seas. Recreation is another source of exposure through ingestion of seawater or contact of skin and mucous membranes. In the final decade of the 20th century, it still appeared that waterborne diseases of humans were as prevalent as they were at the start of century. For example, waterborne illnesses continued to be a major killer of children throughout the world. It is estimated that 60% of the world's population lives in coastal zones, the area within a few kilometers of the shoreline. Disease incidence is increasing worldwide, promoted by both natural phenomena such as El Niđo and human activities, including sewage disposal. Ancient diseases like cholera still cause epidemics while new agents of disease continue to be discovered. Although the nature of diseases such as cholera and dysentery is well understood, the cause of outbreaks of these diseases is unresolved. Experts still debate how cholera epidemics arise despite a detailed understanding of the genetics, chemical structure, and mode of action of the cholera toxin. As new diseases infect people through contaminated drinking water and seafood, recently discoveries have confirmed their existence on Earth for thousands of years. The apparent emergence of these could be the result of man-made influences or may reflect more sensitive modern detection technologies. Whatever the cause, it is clear that infectious diseases, including waterborne ones conveyed by the ocean, still plague humankind. (Adapted from: Question 41: The main idea of the passage is possibly ___. A. the cause of increasing infectious disease rates in human beings B. why thousand-year-old illnesses still affect humankind C. how transportation contributes to modern medicine D. the prevalence of waterborne diseases in the 20th century Question 42: The phrase “marine-borne” in the passage probably means ___.

Societies depend heavily on the ocean for food, transportation, recreation, waste disposal, and minerals. Clearly, some of these uses are in conflict, and four of these five major uses provide a vehicle for transmission of disease agents to humans. The primary source of marine borne illness is seafood. Currently seafood is in high demand, both in industrialized and emerging nations, and it continues to be a source of infectious diseases in humans throughout the world. Transportation has also contributed to waterborne infectious diseases through the consumption of contaminated water and seafood by ship passengers and crew. There is also evidence that ships are responsible for the dissemination of exotic species through the discharge of dirty water into coastal seas. Recreation is another source of exposure through ingestion of seawater or contact of skin and mucous membranes. In the final decade of the 20th century, it still appeared that waterborne diseases of humans were as prevalent as they were at the start of century. For example, waterborne illnesses continued to be a major killer of children throughout the world. It is estimated that 60% of the world's population lives in coastal zones, the area within a few kilometers of the shoreline. Disease incidence is increasing worldwide, promoted by both natural phenomena such as El Niđo and human activities, including sewage disposal. Ancient diseases like cholera still cause epidemics while new agents of disease continue to be discovered. Although the nature of diseases such as cholera and dysentery is well understood, the cause of outbreaks of these diseases is unresolved. Experts still debate how cholera epidemics arise despite a detailed understanding of the genetics, chemical structure, and mode of action of the cholera toxin. As new diseases infect people through contaminated drinking water and seafood, recently discoveries have confirmed their existence on Earth for thousands of years. The apparent emergence of these could be the result of man-made influences or may reflect more sensitive modern detection technologies. Whatever the cause, it is clear that infectious diseases, including waterborne ones conveyed by the ocean, still plague humankind. (Adapted from: Question 44: The main idea of the passage is possibly ___. A. how transportation contributes to modern medicine B. why thousand-year-old illnesses still affect humankind C. the cause of increasing infectious disease rates in human beings D. the prevalence of waterborne diseases in the 20th century Question 45: The phrase “marine-borne” in the passage probably means ___.
