Smallpox (also known by the Latin names Variola or Variola vera) was a highly contagious viral disease unique to humans. It is caused by two virus variants called Variola major and Variola minor. V. major is the more deadly form, with a typical mortality of 20–40 percent of those infected. The other type, V. minor, only kills 1% of its victims. Many survivors are left blind in one or both eyes from corneal ulcerations, and persistent skin scarring—pockmarks—is nearly universal. Smallpox was responsible for an estimated 300–500 million deaths in the 20th century. As recently as 1967, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 15 million people contracted the disease and that two million died in that year. After successful vaccination campaigns, in 1979 the WHO certified the eradication of smallpox, though cultures of the virus are kept by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States and at the Institute of Virus Preparations in Siberia, Russia.

Reading presents a real paradox to neurobiologists. It was only invented a few thousand years ago, so there really has not been enough time for our brain to evolve specialized ways to do it. How do brain circuits produced by millions of years of evolution in a world without written words adapt to the specific challenges of reading? We know we have to learn the skill but how does our brain learn to read? In the social sciences, the majority of researchers do not see a problem. There is a widespread view that the brain is a completely adaptable organ, capable of absorbing any form of culture. Yet recent findings from brain imaging studies and neurophysiology throw new light on the organization of the reading circuits in the brain. The findings contradict this simplistic model of a brain that merely absorbs everything from its cultural environment. And they suggest that the architecture of our brain is limited by strong genetic constraints though it seems that it has still some degree of flexibility.
The passage makes the point that, until recently,-----.
A) it was only the abnormal brain that attracted any attention
B) researchers in social sciences ignored the views of neurophysiologists concerning the brain
C) the brain was generally thought to adapt itself easily to new cultural environments
D) the structure of the brain did not attract much attention except from neurobiologists
E) neurophysiologists were not aware of the structural complexity of the brain

Napoleon Bonaparte is credited with ending the French Revolution and, with the establishment of a stable government, bringing security and equality to France. He introduced a system of meritocracy to replace the older system that privileged inheritance and status. Napoleon also introduced the Napoleonic Code to the world. He based it off of Justinian's Code, or Roman law. The Napoleonic Code separated civil law into personal status, property and the acquisition of property, ensuring that every French citizen would have an equal chance to gain wealth and status. The Code was massively influential and became the basis for most European countries' governments. During his reign of power, Napoleon created the Bank of France to support France's faltering economy and provide his military campaigns with financial support.
