听写：
Julie Gerberding is director of the Centers for Disease Control. She says the new findings do not mean the H-five-N-one virus cannot change into a form easily passed between people. She says the findings suggest only that such a process is not simple. The research appeared this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Since two thousand three, the World Health Organization has recorded more than two hundred thirty human cases of the H-five-N-one virus. Almost sixty percent of those people have died. Last week GlaxoSmithKline said it was hopeful about tests of a vaccine to protect against the virus. The British drug maker tested it in four hundred adults in Belgium. GlaxoSmithKline says the vaccine requires only a very small amount of adjuvant. So the company could produce larger supplies. An adjuvant is a substance (这个词的发音有点怪。。。）that helps a vaccine work better in the body. GlaxoSmithKline says it could have the vaccine ready as early as next year. The company would need approval from governments. And the vaccine might be of little use if a different virus causes the next pandemic.
