Section C: Comprehension (10 marks)
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. Use correct English sentence, as for as possible, your own words.
For decades, Ebola haunted rural African villages like some mythic monster that every few
years rose to demand a human sacrifice and then returned to its cave. It reached the West only in
nightmare form, a Hollywood horror film that makes eyes bleed and organs dissolve and doctors despair because they have no cure.
But 2014 is the year an outbreak turned into an epidemic, driven by the very progress that has paved roads and raised cities and lifted thousands out of poverty. This time it reached crowded slums in Liberia, Guinea and Siena Leone; it travelled to Nigeria and Mali, to Spain, Germany and the U.S. It struck doctors and nurses, in unprecedented numbers, wiping out a public-health infrastructure that was weak in the first place. One August day in Liberia, six pregnant women lost their babies when hospitals couldn't admit them for complications. Anyone willing to treat-Ebola victims ran the risk of becoming one.
There was little to stop the diseases from spreading further. Governments weren’t equipped to respond; the World Health Organization was in denial. First responders were accused of crying wolf, even as the danger grew. But the people in the field, the special forces of Doctors without Borders (DWB), the Christian medical relief workers of Samar-Ram's Purse and many others from all over the world fought side-by-side with local doctors and nurses, ambulance drivers and burial teams.
Ask what pushed them, and some talk about God; some about country; some about the instinct to run into the fire, not away. “If someone from America comes to help my people and someone from Uganda,” says Iris Manor, a Liberian nurse, “then why can’t l?” Foday Gallah, an ambulance driver who survived infection, calls his immunity a holy gift. “I want to give my blood so a lot of people can be saved,” he says. “I am going to fight Ebola with all of my might."
DWB nurse’s assistant, Salome Karwah stayed at the bedsides of patients, bathing and feeding them, even after losing both her parents - who ran a medical clinic - in a single week and surviving Ebola herself. "it looked like God gave me a second chance to help others,” she says. Tiny children watched their parents die. and no one could so much us embrace them. because embraces could kill. ‘You soc people facing death without their loved ones, only with people in space suits," says DWB president Dr. Joanne Liu. “You should not die alone with spacesuit men."
Those who contracted the disease encountered pain like they had never known. “It hurts like they are busting your head with an axe. “ Karvah says. One doctor overheard his funeral being planned. Asked if surviving Ebola changed him, Dr. Kent Brantly turns the question around. “l still have the same faults that I did before", he says. “But whenever we go through a devastating experience like what l’ve been through, it is an incredible opportunity for improvement of something. We can say, “How can l be better now because of what I’ve been through? Not to do that is kind of a shame.”
