练习 1
In the encyclopedia definition above, we read that "some people have reported a recovery" from Anosmia.

This is incorrect. "To report a recovery" does not indicate that a group has "discovered a cure" for Anosmia.
In this context, the verb "to recover" expresses the act of "getting well" or "becoming healthy" such as after a disease or illness. For example: He took 3 weeks to recover after he got malaria. If some people have reported a recovery from Anosmia, then they have gotten well, or become healthy again after having it.
Hmmm. An interesting theory, but unfortunately this is incorrect. Maybe some day diseases will come from outer space, but until then we will just have to be patient.

This statement is not true. We read in the article that Warbuckle "refused to comment" on his case, which indicates that Warbuckle did not speak publicly regarding his situation.
This statement is not true. In the article, we read that Warbuckle was "released after posting the quarter million dollar bail". This means that Warbuckle left prison after paying the sum of money the judge demanded.
This is a true statement. In the article we read that Warbuckle's arrest could have "financial implications" for Warbuckle and for his business partners. The Delavigne Corporation is mentioned in the next sentence of the text as being vulnerable or susceptible to financial losses.
This is a true statement. In the article, we read that Ernest Marshall found a "shotgun shell lodged in the hindquarters" of the bear cub. A shotgun is a large gun, sometimes used for hunting, and a "shotgun shell" is the type of ammunition within it. A shotgun shell refers to the ammunition itself, and not just the casing of the cartridge. In this context, "lodged" means "stuck".
This statement is not true. Cinnamon is in "stable condition", which indicates that she is still alive. Also we read that veterinarians are "supervising (Cinnamon's) recovery", which is another clear indication that the bear is still living.

Back when I was in the jungles of Vietnam, I was shot in the arm by a Viet Cong sniper named Charlie. The bullet hit my arm, and caused a serious (a wound, physical damage, trauma). I was in very bad (a state of health), and so my fellow soldiers airlifted me back to our base in Hanoi in a green helicopter.

1 injury: Another word for "wound" is "injury". Both terms refer to damage to the body (physical and sometimes even mental). For example: I suffered an injury when the dentist drilled a hole in my cheek. In the text about Anosmia, we read that the condition can be caused by severe head "injuries".
2 condition: A "condition" is defined as a "state of health." The word "condition" has many different meanings, but in this context, a condition is a "health problem", "sickness" or even a disease (though these terms aren't totally synonymous). Example: She has a skin condition, and she gets big red buttons when she eats meat.
