问题    One day in September, 2001, a 7-month-old son of an ABC producer in Manhattan spent time at the network offices. He developed a rash, and was hospitalized with an unknown ailment soon after the visit. He was later diagnosed with cutaneous anthrax. This was the beginning of the anthrax scare created by terrorists throughout the USA and the rest of the world.
   The forced closure of Capitol Hill, the building that is home to both houses of the US Congress, has confirmed perhaps the worst fears of US Congress, has confirmed perhaps the worst fears of US officials; that their country now faces a bioterrorist attack. In all, 44 cases of anthrax attacks have been detected so far, including one death. The majority of cases in the US have surfaced at institutions of influence or prominence. Apart from the mail sent to the senators, letters laced with the bacteria were sent to the offices of the ABC and NBC television networks and The New York Times. Meanwhile, police in Japan, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Africa and Australia have also been investigating suspicious substances either sent through the mail or left at public places -- one case of anthrax contamination has surfaced outside the US, in Kenya.

选项

答案     2001年9月的一天,ABC广播公司在曼哈顿的一个制作人的7个月大的儿子,在其公司办公室呆了一些时间,很快便染上了疱疹,并被认为得了一种不明疾病而住院治疗。随后他被诊断患了皮肤性炭疽热。这便是恐怖分子制造的席卷美国和全球的炭疽热恐慌的开始。
   美国参众两院的办公地点国会山已被强制关闭。这也许可证实美国官方的极度恐惧:他们的国家已面临一场生物恐怖分子的攻击。迄今为止,总共已发现了44起炭疽袭击事件,其中一人死亡。美国国内大多数袭击事件,都发生在有影响或者名声显赫的机构。除了寄给参议员的邮件外,掺入细菌的信件还被寄往ABC、全国广播公司电视网以及《纽约时报》的办公室。同时,日本、加拿大、欧洲、拉丁美洲、非洲和澳大利亚的警方也一直在调查邮件中以及遗弃在公共场所的可疑物质。一起炭疽污染案已经在美国以外的肯尼亚发生。
