Most American plays of the 18th and 19th centuries strongly reflected British influence. In fact, no New York City theatre season presented more American plays than British plays until 1910. The reasons behind this phenomenon are complex, but a common language and the ready availability of British plays and British actors offer the most obvious explanation. Although the British repertory dominated the American stage for so long, American drama had begun to diverge from British drama by the time of Andrew Jackson’s presidency, from 1828 to 1836. British plays, which typically reflected the attitudes and manners of the upper classes, were by then in conflict with more egalitarian American values. Despite this growing divergence, British actors, theatre managers, and plays continued to cross the Atlantic Ocean with regularity, and most American plays copied British models until the early 20th century. For this reason some critics claim that American drama was not born until the end of World War I (1914-1918).By the end of the 19th century American drama was moving steadily toward realism, illuminating the rough or seamy side of life and creating more believable characters. Realism remained the dominant trend of the 20th century in both comedies and tragedies. American drama achieved international recognition with the psychological realism of plays by Eugene O’Neill and their searing investigation of characters’ inner lives. As the century advanced, the number of topics considered suitable for drama broadened to encompass race, gender, sexuality, and death.

Farmers in many countries utilize antibiotics in two key ways: at full strength to treat animals that are sick and in low doses to fatten meat-producing livestock or to prevent veterinary illnesses. Although even the proper use of antibiotics can inadvertently lead to the spread of drug resistant bacteria, the habit of using a low dose is a formula for disaster: the treatment provides just enough antibiotic to kill some but not all bacteria.The germs that survive are typically those that happen to bear genetic mutations for resisting the antibiotic. They then reproduce and exchange genes with other microbial resisters. As bacteria are found literally everywhere, resistant strains produced in animals eventually find their way into people as well. You could not design a better system for guaranteeing the spread of antibiotic resistance. To cease the spread, Denmark enforced tighter rules on the use of antibiotics in the raising of poultry and other farm animals.The lesson is that improving animal husbandry – making sure that pens, stalls and cages are properly cleaned and giving animals more room or time to mature – offsets the initial negative impact of limiting antibiotic use.
- Pek çok ülkede çiftçiler antibiyotiklerden iki temel şekilde faydalanmaktadır: (1) hasta olan hayvanları tedavi etmek için tam dozda ve (2) et üretimi için beslenen çiftlik hayvanlarına kilo aldırmak veya veterinerlik gerektiren hastalıkları engellemek için düşük dozlarda.Her ne kadar antibiyotiklerin düzgün bir şekilde kullanılması bile ilaca karşı dirençli bakterilerin istenmeden yayılmasına sebep olsa da, düşük dozda kullanma alışkanlığı felakete giden bir yolu ifade eder: tedavi, bakterilerin tamamını değil de bir kısmını öldürecek kadar antibiyotik sağlamaktadır.Yok olmayan mikroplar tipik olarak antibiyotiğe dirençli olabilmek için gerekli genetik mutasyona sahip olanlardır. Bunlar daha sonra çoğalıp mikroplara karşı direnen diğerleriyle gen değişimi yaparlar . Bakteriler kelimenin tam manasıyla her yerde bulunduklarından dolayı, hayvanlarda üreyen dirençli cinsler bir şekilde insanların da içine girme yolunu bulmaktadır. Antibiyotik direncinin yayılmasını garanti eden daha iyi bir sistem tasarlayamazdınız. Yayılmayı durdurmak için Danimarka, kümes ve diğer çiftlik hayvanlarının yetiştirilmesinde antibiyotik kullanımına ilişkin daha sıkı kurallar getirmiştir. Çıkarılması gereken ders şudur: besiciliğin geliştirilmesi, yani ağılların, ahırların ve kümeslerin düzgün bir şekilde temizlenmesinin sağlanması ve hayvanlara olgunlaşabilmeleri için daha çok zaman ve daha çok alan sunulması, antibiyotik kullanımını sınırlamanın başlangıçtaki olumsuz etkisini dengelemektedir.

The nail grows from a point near the roots below the skin. This semi-circle named the 'lunula' comprises a group of cells that manufacture keratin, a dead, hoof-like protein. Though nails grow an average of two inches per year, their growth slows with age, and the average adult's fingernails grow only one inch in eight months. The base of the nails is embedded into the skin. Unlike other skin, it contains elastic fibres that connect it to the nail, and hold it firmly in place. The cuticle, a rim of skin over the lunula, protects it from bacterial infection, serves as a shock absorber, and shields the nail from any sudden impacts. Normally, the lunula is white in colour, indicating proper nutrition and good overall health. Blue lunula raise red flags that circulatory problems to the fingers may exist. Nails that are hard, brittle, and tend to split easily, may also be clues to poor circulation, infection, or disturbances of the glandular and nutritional systems. Those curling sharply around the finger point to coronary, liver, or lung diseases.
44. The passage mainly deals with ----.
A) the causes of nail infections
B) nails curling sharply around the finger
