2016年1月7日CNN聽力：研發新疫苗反抗埃博拉病毒 電動汽車充電成題目
Ebola is one of the deadliest diseases in the world.
Certain strains can kill 90 percent of those who catchit.
More than 11,000 people have died from the virusand it's infected more than 28,000.
As devastating as this disease is, it's also inspiredone of the most extraordinary achievements inmedical history.
During the largest Ebola epidemic ever, spanning from Liberia to Atlanta set out to develop thefirst vaccine for Ebola.
Coordinating a massive international group of scientists and drug companies, the WHOseemingly managed the impossible-cutting through regulatory red tape, the group collaboratedto fast track the vaccine.
What usually takes a decade or more just took just 12 months.
We tend to see rapid development from places like Silicon Valley, tech giants holding all nighthackathons to fix a problem, but rarely do we see this type of speed from the medicalcommittee.
But the hope that the WHO has provided a blueprint for accelerating drug trials and researchso the medical community can react quickly the next time a killer virus strikes.
There are no vaccines for some of the most dangerous pathogens that spread very quicklythrough the air, think SARS.
But after Ebola, we may be one step closer to preparing for such an outbreak.
We're starting today's call of the roll in the Pine Tree State.
That's the nickname for Maine.
And from its largest city Portland, we heard from the Lions of Lincoln Middle School.
Not too far from Salt Lake City, Utah, there's a city named American Fork.
And we're shouting out the Seagulls today from Dan Paterson School.
And in the nation of Myanmar, also known as Burma, it's great to see our viewers at YangonInternational School.
It's in the city of Yangon.
As gas prices have gone lower in the U.S., it has generally meant lower sales for electric cars.
More Americans have been going with gasoline powered engines.
Part of the reason: most electrics, with the exception of the more expensive Tesla brand don'tgo that far on a charge.
A gas powered car could drive more than 300 miles on a full tank of gas.
Most electrics can't go 100 miles before needing to recharge.
But what if the roads themselves could charge them?
It's practically instinct.
The light comes on and you search for the nearest gas station.
Every once in a while, panic sets in, but we usually know fuel is close by.
The problem: oil is not sustainable.
A solution: electric, but it has its physical limitations.
The biggest challenge right now is what we call range anxiety.
It means people are really worried about this new technology and they feel like they're strandedat some point, right?
Battery is empty and they can't go any further.Right.
And that is often the number one reason why they will not buy an electric vehicle.
This technology could completely revolutionize that.
