问题 Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about the Swine flu. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below.
   Slater    Swine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu, and pig flu) refers to influenza caused by those strains of influenza virus, called swine influenza virus (SIV), that usually infect pigs. Swine influenza is common in pigs in the Midwestern United States (and occasionally in other states), Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe (including the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Italy), Kenya, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and other parts of eastern Asia.
    Mike Smith    Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not common and properly cooked pork poses no risk of infection. When transmission results in influenza in a human, it is called zoonotic swine flu. People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at risk of catching swine flu. Rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human. In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.
    Baker    The 2009 flu outbreak in humans, known as "swine flu", is due to a new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 that contained genes most closely related to swine influenza. The origin of this new strain is unknown, however, and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) reports that this strain has not been isolated in pigs. This strain can be transmitted from human to human, and causes the normal symptoms of influenza.
    Bob David    If a person becomes sick with swine flu, antiviral drugs can make the illness milder and make the patient feel better faster. They may also prevent serious flu complications. For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if started soon after getting sic (within 2 days of symptoms). Beside antivirals, palliative care, at home or in hospital, focuses on controlling fevers and maintaining fluid balance. However, the majority of people infected with the virus make a full recovery without requiring medical attention or antiviral drugs.
    Tom Brown    In the US, on April 27, 2009, the FDA issued Emergency Use Authorizations to make available Relenza and Tamiflu antiviral drugs to treat the swine influenza virus in cases for which they are currently unapproved. The agency issued these EUAs to allow treatment of patients younger than the current approval allows and to allow the widespread distribution of the drugs, including by non-licensed volunteers.
    Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.
    Note: there are two extra statements.
    Statements   
A. Swine influenza is common in pigs all over United States, Mexico, Canada, South Africa, Europe, Kenya, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and other parts of eastern Asia.   
B. It is risky for people intensively exposed to the work with pigs.   
C. The origin of the new strain of influenza A virus subtype H1N1 is unknown yet.   
D. Transmission of swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is very common.   
E. Some drugs are still unapproved to treat the swine influenza virus.   
F. Antiviral drugs work best to the patients within 2 days of symptoms.   
G. A brief introduction of Swine influenza.
