It is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up, you feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold! Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu(流感) going around?

A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it’s usually easy to deal with. Some take medicine while others drink herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.

On the other hand, the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine, the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.

Don’t worry. If you get a flu vaccine(疫苗), it can stop you from getting the virus(病毒). Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes your body to have antibodies(抗体). So next time you get the flu, the antibodies should help you.

The flu virus changes every few years. So there are so many types of flu, such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can’t help us against all types of flu. That’s why we need to get the vaccine every year.

However, good health habits may also help you away from a cold or flu. Washing your hands often stops you from getting viruses easily. It is also important to get regular exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you strengthen your immune system (增强免疫系统).

On 4th of February, 2018, there was an earthquake that happened in Taiwan. It was a level 6.4 earthquake. As we know, earthquake is very dangerous and terrible. But do you know what to do during and after an earthquake? Here is some advice for you.

Before an earthquake. It is necessary to prepare yourself and your family. All family members should know the way to turn off gas, water and electricity and know useful telephone numbers. Never put heavy things over beds.

During an earthquake. It’s important for each of you to stay calm. If you are indoors, quickly move to a safe place in the room such as under a strong desk or a strong table. It can protect yourself from falling things. Stay away from windows, large mirrors, heavy things and so on. If you are cooking, turn off the gas.

If you are outdoors, move to an open area like a playground. Move away from buildings, bridges or trees. If you are driving, stop the car as soon as you can. Stay in your car.

After an earthquake. Once the shaking stops, do not run out of the building at once. It’s better to wait and leave when it is safe.

Check around you and help people in trouble. If your building is badly broken, you should leave it. If you smell or hear gas, get the people around outside and open windows and doors. If you can do it safely, turn off the gas. Report it to the gas company.
