Questions 25 to 27 are based on the following news.

Afghan officials say most of the flu cases have been in Kabul，Parwan and the provinces of Herat, Kandahar，Ningrahar and Bamiyan. (25) Afghanistan’s Health Minister Dr. Sayed Mohammad Amin Fatemi says only Afghans so far have died from the virus. He says the basic reason for the deaths has been because the victims went to treatment centers too late. He says most of the foreigners with the virus have been with the NATO forces, and they were able to start their treatments early, which helped their chances for survival.

The United Nations World Health Organization representative for Afghanistan, Peter Graass, says that despite the last 8 years of medical improvements in the country, there is still a lot more work left to do.

He says the Afghan health services are reasonably prepared to deal with the H1N1 outbreak. (26) But he adds that officials believe the actual number of cases is much higher and are preparing for scenarios¹ in which 1/4 the country contracts the flu virus. The H1N1 virus has differed from normal，seasonal influenza² in that it has persisted during the summer months and affected³ relatively⁴ healthy people under the age of 65. The W. H. 0. says most people recover without hospitalization.

Last week，the W. H. 0. announced that the H1N1 virus has become the dominant⁵ flu strain in the world. (27) According to numbers available in late October, there have been more than 440,000 laboratory confirmed cases of H1N1 influenza and more than 5， 700 deaths reported to the U. N. agency.
