The World' s Best-Selling Medicine
Since ancient times,people all over the world have used willow to stop pain.The willow tree contains
salicylic acid(水杨酸).This stops pain,but there is one problem. Salicylic acid also hurts the stomach. In
1853,a French scientist made a mixture from willow that did not hurt the stomach.However,his mixture was
difficult to make,and he did not try to produce or sell it.
In 1897,in Germany,Felix Hoffmann also made a mixture with salicylic acid.He tried it himself first
and then gave it to his father because his father was old and in a lot of pain.His father's pain went away,
and the mixture did not hurt his stomach.
Hoffmann worked for Bayer,a German company.He showed his new drug to his manager,who tested
the drug and found that it worked well,Bayer decided to make the drug.They called it aspirin and put the
Bayer name on every pill.
Aspirin was an immediate success.Almost everyone has pain of some kind,so aspirin answered a true
need.Aspirin was cheap,easy to take,and effective.It also lowered fevers.Aspirin was a wonder drug.
At first,Bayer sold the drug through doctors,who then sold it to their patients.In 1915,the company
started to sell aspirin in drugstores. In the United States, Bayer had a patent(专利权)on the drug. Other
companies could make similar products and sell them in other countries,but only Bayer could make and sell
aspirin in the United States.In time, Bayer could no longer own the name aspirin in the United States. Other
companies could make it there,too. However,Bayer aspirin was the most well known,and for many years,
it was the market leader.
By the 1950s, new painkillers were on the market.Aspirin was no longer the only way to treat pain and
reduce fever. Bayer and other companies looked for other drugs to make.However,in the 1970s they got a
surprise.Doctors noticed that patients who were taking aspirin had fewer heart attacks than other people.A
British researcher named John Vane found the reason aspirin helped to prevent heart attacks. In 1982,he
won the Nobel Prize for his research.Doctors started to tell some of their patients to take aspirin every day to
prevent heart attacks.It has made life better for the many people who take it.It has also made a lot of money
for companies like Bayer that produce and sell it!

答案

解析
由文章第一段最后一句话可知,这位法国科学家没有生产他发现的这种止痛药是因为 太难制作了。故选B。
由文章第二段第二句话可知,Felix Hoffmann把自己制作的药给父亲因为他父亲年纪大 了且又遭受着病痛之苦。这可以推测为Felix Hoffmann发明止痛药的原因。故选B。
由文章第三段第二句话可知,Felix Hoffmann把药带给公司主管,检测后发现药物的止 痛效果很好,所以公司才决定生产这种药。故选C。
由文章倒数第二段第三句话可知,虽然其他公司可以制作类似药品并在其他国家销 售,但是只有Bayer公司可以在美国生产并销售阿司匹林。故选B。
由文章最后一段第五句话可知,医生们注意到服用阿司匹林的病人要比未服用的病人 心脏病发作的几率少很多。阿司匹林的这种功效是在市场上出现其他止痛药后被发现的。故 选C。第5部分:补全短文
