Read this excerpt from "Mad Cow, Furious Farmer.” The disease was first detected in England in 1986, though some scientists thin

k the very first cases started at least ten years before. Cows usually eat only grass and other plants, but farmers had been feeding them a meat and bone mixture that made the cows plumper. But somehow, at least one batch of the mixture had become contaminated with what was then an unknown killer: a prion. By 1993, British farmers were reporting up to one thousand new cases of BSE a week. Governments all around the world reacted by increasing testing for the disease and not allowing any cows to be eaten if they were at risk of having the disease. As sheep can also get a prion disease called scrapie, they were tested as well. Farmers were angry that they were losing their livestock, and nobody knew how to protect cows and people from the disease. Consumers were also in a panic when they learned about BSE, and for a very good reason: prions are infectious. If you eat a prion from a "mad cow” or sheep, you are at risk for developing a human version of BSE. The public felt betrayed that their governments had underreacted to the problem or covered it up. Eventually, in 1997, governments began to ban farmers from feeding their livestock high-risk meat and bone mixtures. With that ban, the epidemic quickly peaked, and by 2010 had largely disappeared. Over the years, half a million cows and two hundred people had been killed by prions. What is the main idea of this excerpt? Mad cow disease ended because of government bans on feeding cows certain foods, but people were angry that governments did not act sooner. Mad cow disease was originally caused when governments allowed for cows’ food sources to be contaminated, so people were angry at their leaders. Both farmers and customers had been aware of mad cow disease, but they did not think their governments should have done anything to stop it. Both farmers and customers protested to prevent their governments from interfering with the farming and selling of cows and meat.

Answer:

1. We do not seek solitude yet if we find ourselves alone for once, we flick a switch and we invite the whole world in, thus the world comes in through the TV or internet.

2. Little girls, of course, don't take toy guns out of their hip pockets or say "Pow, pow" to all their neighbors and friends, besides the average well-adjusted little boy does this, with this in mind if we gave little girls six-shooters, we would soon have double the body count.

3. We know very little about pain, yet what we don't know makes its hurt all the more because there is ignorance in pain, in which no form of illiteracy in the United States is so widespread, and no form of illiteracy in the United States is so costly.

4. First we drove the wagon close to a corner post, second we twisted the end of the wire around it, but we twisted the wire one foot above the ground, third we stapled it fast, fourth we drove along the line if posts and drove about 200 yards in which we unreeled the wire on the ground behind us.

5. The historical sciences have made us very conscious of our past, and they have made us conscious of the world as a machine, while the machine generates successive events out of foregoing ones, thus some scholars tend to look totally backward, so they look backward in their interpretation of the human future.
