initiate a global campaign to eradicate smallox. The goal was to eliminate the disease in one decade.
At the time, the disease posed a serious threat to people in more than thirty nations. Because similar
projects for malaria and yellow fever had failed, few believed that smallpox could actually be
eradicated, but eleven years after the initial organization of the campaign, no cases were reported in
the field.
The strategy was not only to provide mass caccinations but also to isolate patients with active
smallpox in order to contain the spread of the disease and to break the chain of human transmission.
Rewards for reporting smallpox assisted in motivating people to aid health workers. One by one,
each smallpox victim was sought out, removed from contact with others, and treated. At the same
time, the entire village where the victim had lived was vaccinated.
But April of 1978, WHO officials annonounced that they had isolated the last known case of
the disease, but health workers continued to search for new cases for two additional years to be
completely sur. In May, 1980, a formal statement was made to the global community. Today,
smallpox is no longer a threat to humanity. Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide.

Passage 4:
People commonly complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks. The hours
and minutes seem to slip away before many planned chores have been done. According to time
management experts, the main reason for this is that most people fail to set priorities about what to
do first. As a result, they get tied down by trivial, time consuming matters and never complete the
important ones.
One simple solution that are often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be
accomplished daily. These lists order jobs from the most essential to the least essential and are
checked regularly through the day in order to assess progress. This is not only an effective way to
manage time, but also it serves to give individuals a much deserved sense of satisfaction over their
achievements. People who do not keep lists often face the end of the work day with uncertainty over
the significance of their accomplishments, which over time can contribute to serious problems in
mental and physical health.
