When smallpox was completely got rid of in the world, scientists wanted to 【51】______ the killer virus in the last two labs—one in the US and one in Russia. They asked: If smallpox has truly gone from the planet, 【52】______ point was there in keeping these reserves?

    How do we 【60】______ with the mistrust of the US and Russia? 【61】______. Keep the virus 【62】______ international support in a well-guarded UN laboratory that’s open to all countries.

If the virus is useful, then let’s 【65】______ it the servant of all humanity, not just a part of it.
