About 59 percent of likely voters said they would vote for Chavez for a third term, while 27 percent said they would support opposition candidate Manuel Rosales.

At the close of the 20th century, there seemed to be a rise in the consciousness of ethnic groups around the world, and a sense of pride in what makes them unique. This occurs in the United States among many different groups, and in some cases it has resulted in new names to symbolize each group's identity. In the United States, people have become very sensitive to the language used to describe these groups, and they try to be "politically correct" (P. C. ). For example, many black Americans, particularly young people, prefer the term African-American instead of black, to identify with their African heritage. Some Spanish speakers prefer to be called Latinos (referring to Latin America) instead of Hispanics, while others prefer to be identified by their country of origin (Cuban-American or Cuban, Chicano, Mexican-American or Mexican, and so on).
In spite of some very important differences, however, there is still a tie that binds Americans together. That tie is a sense of national identity—of "being an American". Incidentally, when citizens of the United States refer to themselves as Americans, they have no intention of excluding people from Latin American countries. There is no word such as United Statesians in the English language, so people call themselves Americans. Thus, what is really a language problem has sometimes caused misunderstandings. Although citizens of Latin American countries may call the people in the United States North Americans, to most people in the United States this makes no sense either, because the term North Americans refer to Canadians and Mexicans as well as citizens of the United States. The word American, then, will be used in this text as the adjective and nationality for the people who live in the United States of America.

stench emanating from swamps that was thought to cause a
variety of disease in the centuries before microbes were S1.______

light microscope, they also cannot be detected through their S4.______
biological activity, except as it occurs in conjunction with
other organisms. In fact, viruses show no traces of biological
activity by themselves. Unlike bacteria, they are not living
agents in the strictest way. Viruses are very simple pieces S5.______
of organic material composing only of nucleic acid, either S6.______
DNA or RNA, enclosed with a coat of protein made up of S7.______
simple structural units. (Some viruses also contain
carbohydrates and lipid.) They are parasites require S8.______
human, animal, or plant cells to live. The virus replicates
by attaching to a cell and inject its nucleic acid; once S9.______
inside the cell, the DNA or RNA that contains the virus'
genetic information takes on the cell's biological machinery, S10.______
and the cell begins to manufacture virtual proteins rather
than its own.

Was there ever a time when people spoke just plain English？ No. Scholars estimate that one-third of the world's languages are of Indo-European origin. These include English, French, Latin, German, Dutch, Celtic, and Slavic tongues. Back around AD 450, when Julius Caesar was alive, English as we know it didn't exist. English is relatively young. Its roots go back 1,500 years, to Britain. People there spoke Celtic. Then came Anglo-Saxon invaders. These conquerors spoke a language closely related to older forms of Dutch. Morris says Dutch words like "woord", "gras" and "man" became the English equivalents "word", "grass" and "man" . Anglo-Saxon "Anglish" became "English" .
But our story does not end there. English continued to grow and change. When Norman French invaded Britain in 1066, the English vocabulary got an enormous boost. Scholars say that nearly half of all English words are French in their origin. Words like art, orange, taxi, train and surprise are a few examples.
When English colonists came to America in the 1700s, they encountered native Americans and their languages. Words like wigwam, teepee, chipmunk, possum and tomahawk settled into the colonists' vocabulary.
Centuries later, in the early 1900s, immigrants streamed to America's shores. Italians taught US to say broccoli, macaroni, opera and studio. Spanish speakers added mosquito, mustang, tortilla and alligator. Bagel, kosher and pastrami came from those who spoke Yiddish. And yam, gorilla and jitterbug were taken from African language. So if you speak English, you use words from at least 35 foreign languages.
