    The Flu That Shook the World

    　　In 1918, Americans were at war. They were fighting World War I in Europe. They were also fighting the flu(流行性感冒) .

    　　The flu was a dangerous enemy. It spread quickly and it killed quickly. Soldiers lived close together. They caught the flu from each other. About 112000 American soldiers died in World War I . More than half of these soldiers died from the flu.

    　　Many soldiers from other countries died also. Mast countries kept their flu deaths a secret. Spain did not, so the flu became known as the “Spanish flu. ”

    　　American soldiers brought the flu home with them. It swept across the country in 1918. There weren't enough doctors and nurses to go around. All together, 500000 Americans died of the Spanish flu.

    　　Today, the flu is still our enemy. During flu season, many people get sick. Some even die. Babies and old people are in special danger. They can get help, though. Doctors can now fight the flu with flu shots.

    This March, the H7N9 virus hit Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu and so on. It seemed that most people who were infected（被感染）with H7N9 had the common flu. Some people suffered from a fever or a cough.

    Don’t be afraid---it’s not easy to be infected with the virus. Here is some advice to help you protect yourself when it comes.

    Wash your hands. You need to wash your hands with soap and hot water before you eat, after you use the toilet , and after you touch animals, because your hands may carry viruses.

    Cover your nose and mouth, when someone sneezes（打喷嚏）or coughs, flu viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air, so you’d better stand a proper distance while talking to someone who has a cold. And always cover your nose and mouth with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough, and then clean your hands.

    Wear a mask（口罩）. Some doctors say that masks can stop the flu as much as 80%, but if you don’t wash your hands often, it’s no use wearing a mask. And it’s necessary to wear a mask in the groups of people.

    Do sports often. Exercise will help your body strong enough to resist the virus.

    1.How many ways to stop the virus are mentioned in the passage?

    A. Three             B. Four                         C. Five                          D. Six

    2.What does the underlined word “resist” mean in Chinese?

    A. 抵抗              B. 传播                       C. 感染                       D. 治愈

    3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. Some people who were infected with the H7N9 virus had a toothache.

    B. You should cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough.

    C. Some doctors say that washing your hands can stop the flu as much as 80%.

    D. It’s easy to be infected with H7N9 virus, so you mustn’t go to the places with groups of people.

    4.What’s the main idea of this passage?

    A. It tells us how to wash hands.

    B. It tells us why we should use masks.

    C. It tells us we should do more exercise to be strong.

    D. It gives us some advice on how to protect ourselves when the H7N9 virus comes.

    Spring is an inviting season for outdoor activities. But be careful—the warm weather is also a hotbed for viruses(病毒) and disease.  

    This March, the influenza(流行性感冒) A(H7N9) virus hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was reported that by April 11 at least 35 people had been infected (被感染的) with the H7N9 virus, and nine of them had died.

    The influenza A (H7N9) virus is one type of influenza A H7 viruses. Influenza A H7 viruses normally spread among birds.

    This is the first time human infections with H7N9 viruses have been reported in China. Earlier reports were about H5N1 and H1N1.

    All the three viruses are influenza A viruses but they are not the same. H7N9 and H5N1 are animal influenza viruses that could infect people. However, H1N1 viruses can be divided into two groups. One group can normally infect people and the other normally infects animals. Also, H1N1 can spread from human to human, but H7N9 probably can’t, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

    Most people infected with H7N9 looked like they had the common flu. Some people had bad pneumonia(肺炎). They suffered from a fever, a cough and shortness of breath.

    But don’t be afraid – it is not easy to be infected with the virus. One of the possible reasons is close contact with sick poultry (家禽) waste. People may also be infected through breath, according to National Health and Family Planning Commission.

    Here are some tips from the WHO that can protect you from being infected.

    Wash your hands with soap and running water before you eat, after you use the toilet, and after touching animals or animal waste.

    When coughing or sneezing cover your mouth and nose with a mask(口罩)，tissue(纸巾) or a sleeve.

    Get a good rest and do exercises, which will help make your body strong enough to stand up to the virus.

    1.What’s the name of the influenza virus that hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang this March?

    A．It is the H7N9 virus.                      B．It is the H5N1 virus.

    C．It is the H1N1 virus.                      D．It is A H7 virus.

    2.How many people had died by April 11according to the report?

    A．About 35.                             B．About 9.

    C．About 44.                             D．Nobody had died.

    3.What’s the Chinese meaning for “stand up to” in the last paragraph?

    A．起立             B．站着             C．抵抗             D．向上

    4.Which is NOT true about protecting us from being infected by animal influenza viruses?

    A．Wash our hands with soap and running water before we eat, after we use the toilet, and after touching animals or animal waste.

    B．When we cough or sneeze we should cover our mouths and noses with a mask，tissue or a sleeve.

    C．We should get a good rest and do exercises to make our bodies strong enough.

    D．We should try to eat much and sleep much as possible as we can.
