The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there have been only mild cases of swine flu in the United States, but experts remain on guard.
Acting agency director, Richard Besser, says the epidemic in Mexico prompted U. S. doctors to begin monitoring actively for possible infections.
" We are asking doctors when they see someone who has flu-like illness who has traveled to an affected region, to do a culture, take a swab in the nose and send it to the lab so we can see: is it influenza, is it this type?" he said.
Speaking Sunday at the White House, Besser said the extra detection efforts have enabled officials to find more infections than under normal circumstances. He also says he expects the number of infections will rise and the illness will spread to other U. S. regions, as doctors continue to monitor the problem.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it does not recommend people travel to Mexico, where the outbreak of swine flu is centered and more than 100 deaths have been reported. But officials have not ordered a travel ban to the country.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says, instead, airlines have the option of screening passengers on flights from Mexico.
"We are letting air carriers and our employees at the gates on those flights make sure that they are asking people if they are sick; and if they are sick, that they should not board the plane, " she said.
Denise Korniewicz, an infectious disease expert at the University of Miami, says officials should take bolder steps to screen passengers at international borders, as Japan and other Asian nations are doing.
"We have a very transient population here. And Japan has taken a lot of precautions. What Japan is doing is they are making everyone take a temperature when they get off the airplane, " she said. " As far as I am concerned, I think that is a good idea. " U. S. officials say they are holding off on more aggressive actions because the outbreak has been limited in the United States and they do not want to cause a health scare.
Korniewicz says around the country health centers are putting in place emergency response measures aimed at limiting disease outbreaks.
What promotes American doctors to begin monitoring actively for possible infections?
A.There have been serious cases of swine flu in the United States.
B.U. S. health officials are increasing surveillance measures at doctors' offices.
C.The epidemic happened in Mexico.
D.Experts remained on guard.

The change will not affect the taste or the number of calories in the food. But by changing the cooking oil, McDonald's says, it hopes to cut by nearly half the amount of trans-fatty acids(转换脂肪酸) in French fries and reduce the amount of saturated fats(饱和脂肪) by 16 percent. Scientists believe that trans-fatty acids and saturated fats raise cholesterol(胆固醇) levels and increase the risk of heart disease.
McDonald's new step is important because McDonald's is an industry leader and other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead.
For McDonald's, the action comes at a time when Americans are becoming more and more concerned about; obesity(肥胖) is an increasing pressure on food companies to offer healthy food to consumers.
After three years of study, McDonald's officials say they are switching oil that is lower in saturated fats and trans-fatty acids. McDonald's says the change will not cause higher coats for consumers.
Though there is some change, scientists say that the amount of trans-fat in foods at McDonald's and at other fast-food companies is still important.
The main idea of the text is ______.
A.McDonald's is a pioneer in food products
B.McDonald's is enlarging its restaurants in the world
C.fried foods can't keep up with the development of moden society
D.McDonald's is to use new cooking oil

听力原文: A new book by two professors at Pennsylvania State University compares public education systems around the world. The book is called National Differences, Global Similarities: World Culture and the Future of Schooling.
David Baker and Gerald LeTendre led a group of researchers who gathered information on about 50 countries. Some findings came from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study. That study took place in 1994 and again five years later.
The professors say education is increasingly shaped by what they call “transnational forces”. Officials in many counties are concerned about how their students compare with students in other countries.
Each part of the book develops a different subject researched in schools around the world. One of the subjects is violence among students. The professors say countries with the most school violence include Hungary, Romania and the Philippines.
They say the United States is somewhere in the middle, above nations like New Zealand, Canada, South Korea, Spain and Australia. The findings are based on reports from students.
Professor Baker says inequalities in educational systems act as an influence. He says schools that are sharply divided between “winners and losers” in math have higher levels of violence. “This does not mean that nations should stop trying to raise scores,” he says. “But they should be careful to raise the performance among all students.”
