Read the article carefully and command the words and phrases you don't know. If you have any questions or feelings, write them down immediately and you will get scores. I will do my best to answer. Wish you a happy day.

On Nov. 04, 2009, the Iowa Department of Public Health reported the first confrmed case of H1N1 in a house pet, a 13-year-old domestic shorhaired cat. The animal likely contracted the virus from its owners, veterinarians said, since two of the three family members living in the cat's household had recently suffered from influenza-like illness. Late last week, when the cat came down with flu-like symptoms-malaise, loss of appetite-its owners brought it to Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine for treatment. The family mentioned to the vet that they had also recently battled illness, which led to testing the pet for H1N1.
H1N1 is a combination of influenza strains; one part originated in pigs, and another in birds. So far, only swine and ferrets have become infected with H1N1. It is noted that the Iowa cat is the first pet to be documented with the virus. The good news is that the cat seems to be recovering well from its bout with H1N1.
