Scientists say they have discovered a promising treatment for sleeping sickness, a killer disease that infects(感染) about 60,000 people in Africa a year.
British and Canadian experts say drugs could attack the parasite（寄生虫） causing the illness needs to survive. They say the drug could be ready for human medical test in about 18 months.
The disease, spread by the bite of a fly, is caused by a parasite attacking the central nervous system. It has similar symptoms（症状） to malaria（疟疾）, making it difficult to diagnose. Left untreated, it moves to the brain, resulting in mental confusion and final death
The "breakthrough" came at the University of Dundee in Scotland, where scientists were offered money to research diseases ignored by major drugs companies.
Professor Paul Wyatt, director of the programme, said: "This is one of the most significant findings made in recent years in terms of drug discovery and development for ignored diseases."
He said the research, published in the journal Nature, represented "significant progress" in the development of a full blown drug against the disease.
The World Health Organization said there are between 50,000 and 70,000 cases of the disease a year, with a further 60 million people at risk of infection.
The research in Dundee was backed by partners at the University of York in England and the Structural Genomics Consortium in Toronto, Canada. The two drugs currently available to treat sleeping sickness both have problems. One is with side effects that kill one in 20 patients and the other is costly, only partially effective and requires long-time hospital treatment, the scientists said.

despite the promising publishing industry in china today, many chinese people spend little time reading. some of them read just to kill time or prepare for the tests rather than enjoy the reading itself.
as far as i am concerned , chinese people don’t read as much as they used to for the following reasons. for one thing, people have too much going on in their mind as china is now experiencing great changes, so it has become difficult for them to enjoy reading quietly; for another, with heavy work load, people in china only read when they need something for practical use or something relaxing to keep them away from working pressure.
personally, reading is of great significance in life. it not only provides a source of satisfaction and pleasure, but also serves as a means to seek information and to acquire, develop and apply knowledge. besides, people can read to enhance language proficiency and to broaden life experience as well.
i myself have improved english a lot through reading. at the beginning, i thought it difficult to read english novels but gradually, my language proficiency was enhanced before i realized it. personally, it will make a great difference by reading.
