Today was the day, Heather decided. She would row that boat across the river in less than half an hour, beating her brother’s record. Of course, even on a sunny, windless day like today, she knew the task would be difficult. No matter the weather, the river currents were always strong. Still, Heather was strong, too. She was a very competitive person. She had been practicing rowing for months. She knew all the tips for using the oars to achieve speed and smoothness in the water. She had increased her upper-arm strength and mastered her rhythm and breathing. “I’ll show you,” Heather told her father. “A girl can be as good an athlete as a boy.”

He holds a record for crossing the river in less than half an hour.
He has not mastered his rhythm and breathing.
He has been practicing rowing for months.

She took up a scalpel and slit the monkey's abdomen, making a slow and gentle cut, keeping the blade well away from her gloved fingers. the spleen was puffed up and tough, leathery, like a globe of smoked salami. she did not see any bloody lesions inside this monkey. she had expected that the monkey's interior would be a lake of blood, but no, this monkey looked all right, it had not bled into itself. if the animal had died of ebola, this was not a clear case. she opened up the intestine. there was no blood inside it. the gut looked okay. then she examined the stomach. there she found a ring of bleeding spots at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine. this could be a sign of ebola, but it was not a clear sign. it could also be a sign of simian fever, not ebola. therefore, she could not confirm the presence of ebola virus in this animal based on a visual inspection of the internal organs during necropsy.
