人教高中英语必修5 UNIT.1的reading
或者原文也行……
约翰斯诺是伦敦的一位很有名的医生。他是个中专家，以至于成为了伊丽莎白女王的私人医护。但是当他想到帮助患上霍乱的平常人时他受到了启发。霍乱是那个年代致命的疾病。治病的原因和治疗的方法都为为人所知。每一次爆发成千上万可怜的人都死去了。约翰斯诺想要面对这一个挑战以及解决这一个问题。他明白无法找到治病的根源就无法控制霍乱。他开始对两种可能解释霍乱如何杀死人的理论感到兴趣。 第一种理论认为霍乱在空气中量化，变成一团危险的气体浮在空气中直到有人受感染。第二种理论认为人们吃饭的时候将这种疾病吸入体内。在胃里疾病迅速攻击身体，很快被感染的人就死了。 约翰斯诺怀疑第二种理论是正确的但是他需要证据。所以当1854年伦敦再次爆发霍乱的时候，他准备开始他的调查。由于疾病迅速的在贫穷区散开，他开始在两条街上收集咨询。霍乱爆发是如此的严重以至于10天内500人死亡。他下定决定要找到原因。
最初他在地图上将所有死亡的人所居住的地方的确切位置标志了出来。这给了他宝贵的线索去寻找疾病的原因。大部分的死亡都发生在’宽阔大街’的自来水管附近（特别是16，37，38 和40号）。他也注意到有些房子（例如是宽阔大街20 和21号，剑桥大街8和9号）并没有发生死亡。他没有预料到这一点，所以他做了进一步的调查。他发现住在剑桥大街7号的人们在酒吧里工作。他们可以有免费的啤酒所以并没有从自来水管里喝水。似乎自来水是疾病的源头。
接下来，约翰斯诺寻找了这两条大街的水源。他发现自来水来自一条被伦敦的脏水所污染的河流。他立即让宽阔大街上吃惊的人们将开关从水管上移走。很快疾病的传播慢了下来。他显示了霍乱是透过细菌而不是空气传播的。
在伦敦的另一部分，他从另外两宗和宽阔大街爆发有关的死亡中发现了支持证据。一个从宽阔大街搬走的女人因为喜欢宽阔大街的水所以每天从宽阔大街的自来水管中取水。她和她的女儿在饮用自来水之后死于霍乱。有了这一个额外的证据约翰斯诺可以肯定的宣布受污染的水带有病毒。
为了防止疾病再次爆发，约翰斯诺建议应当检查所有自来水的来源。自来水公司不可以让人们饮用来自守污染的河里的水。最后’霍乱王’被打败了。
