    　　Health officials call it a slight disease, but many thousands of people know better. Their temperature rises to 102°F, yet they feel cold. Their muscles and bones hurt, every cough and sneeze is painful, and they feel so tired that they can hardly reach for an aspirin or a glass of water, even while lying in bed.

    　　The cause of all this is A2-Hong Kong-68, better know as“Hong Kong Flu”that travels easily from one person to another with the slightest sneeze of cought. The disease was officially named for the place where it was first found. A Hong Kong newspaper noted sadly,“We want our city to be well known, but not for this.”

    　　After spreading quickly to many thousands of men, women, and children in the Far East, the disease travelled with the speed of a jet airplane to the United“We have been running a tide against this flu,”says a Los Angeles medical officer,“and we have lost.”

    　　Most people who catch the disease live in crowded cities. For some, it is just a cold that lasts three or four days. But there are others－mainly old people, young children, and heavy smokers－for whom the disease can mean death, either directly, or through other disease that their bodies, weakened by the Hong Kong flu, were unable to fight off.

    　　“You wouldn’t tell anybody you had a cold when you could tell them you had the Hong Kong flu,”noted one health officer.

    2．From the passage, we can see the Hong Kong people ________.

    [　　]

    A．are not glad the disease has the name

    B．don’t want to be well known

    C．didn’t accept the name of the disease

    D．are proud of the disease

    3．Which of the following sentences is untrue?

    [　　]

    A．People who catch the disease feel cold though their temperature is very high.

    B．The flu causes death all by itself.

    C．Coughs and sneezes have spread the disease.

    D．The Hong Kong Health officials think the flu is not very serious.

    4．Why do you suppose some people would tell their friends they had the Hong Kong flu? It is probable that ________.

    [　　]

    A．once people have had the flu, they won’t get that kind again

    B．some people are not afraid of the disease

    C．their friends won’t catch the disease

    D．their friends are not old ones

    5．It is obvious that ________.

    [　　]

    A．the Hong Kong people are more afraid of the flu than afraid of a cold

    B．the Hong Kong people are more afraid of a cold than afraid of the flu

    C．Hong Kong is more afraid of the flu than Los Angeles

    D．Los Angeles is more afraid of the flu than Hong Kong

         Today we talk about proverbs. A proverb is a short, well- known saying that expresses a common truth
    or belief. Proverbs are found in most cultures and are often very old.
         In American history, Benjamin Franklin was famous for his proverbs. He lived in the 1700s and was a
    leader of the American Revolution against English rule. He was also a scientist, inventor and writer.
         Franklin published a book called Poor Richard's Almanac. He included many proverbs he had heard or
    created. Some of them are still used today, like:" Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy
    and wise."
         Here are other examples of proverbs that Americans use. The first ones are about love. Some people say,
    " All is fair in love and war." They mean that anything you do in a relationship or in battle is acceptable.
         Another proverb about love is," Absence makes the heart grow fonder." This means you love someone
    even more when he or she is far away. But other people say,"out of sight, out of mind."You may not even
    think about that person when he or she is not with you. Which of these proverbs do you think is most true?
          Another proverb says " Love is blind." In other words, when you are in love with someone, you may
    refuse to see anything bad about that person.
         Some people are only interested in having a relationship with someone who is very good-looking. You
    might tell them that "Beauty is only skin deep." Your girlfriend may be lovely to look at, but she may also have
    some bad qualities. Or your boyfriend is a wonderful person, but not good-looking. So what a person looks
    like is not really important.
         Sadly, we have no more time for this program. So we must say,"All good things must come to an end."
    Thanks for listening.
    1. Which of the following is a proverb?
    A. I love you more than I can say.

    A. he was good at creating and collecting proverbs
    B. he was a fighter who was strongly against English rule
    C. he was a person who lived more than 400 years ago
    D. there were many proverbs in his book Poor Richard's Almanac

         "Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.
         "It's so dreadful to be poor!" sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.
         "I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all," added
    little Amy, with an injured sniff.
         "We've got father and mother and each other," said Beth, contentedly.
         The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly: "We haven't got father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps
    never", but each silently added it, thinking of father far away, where the fighting was.
         Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said in an altered tone: "You know the reason mother
    proposed not having any presents this Christmas was because it is going to be a hard winter for everyone; and she thinks we ought not to spend money for pleasure when our men are suffering so in the army. We
    can't do much, but we can make our little sacrifices, and ought to do it gladly. But I am afraid I don't";
    and Meg shook her head, and she thought regretfully of all the pretty things she wanted.
         "But I don't think the little we should spend would do any good. We've each got a dollar, and the
    army wouldn't be much helped by our giving that. I agree not to expect anything from mother or you, but
    I do want to buy UNDINE AND SINTRAM for myself; I've wanted it so long," said Jo, who was a
    bookworm.
         "I planned to spend mine on new music," said Beth, with a little sigh.
         "I shall get a nice box of Faber's drawing pencils; I really need them," said Amy, decidedly.
         "Mother didn't say anything about our money, and she won't wish us to give up everything. Let's each
    buy what we want, and have a little fun; I'm sure we work hard enough to earn it," cried Jo, examining
    the heels of her shoes in a gentlemanly manner.
         "I know I do-teaching those tiresome children nearly all day when I am longing to enjoy myself at
    home," began Meg, in the complaining tone again.
         "You don't have half such a hard time as I do," said Jo. "How would you like to be shut up for hours
    with a nervous, fussy old lady, who is never satisfied, and worries you till you're ready to fly out of the
    window or cry?"
         "It's naughty to fret; but I do think washing dishes and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the
    world. It makes me cross; and my hands get so stiff, I can't practice well at all"; and Beth looked at her
    rough hands with a sigh that anyone could hear.
         "I don't believe any of you suffer as I do." cried Amy, "for you don't have to go to school with
    impertinent girls, who plague you if you don't know your lessons, and laugh at your dresses, and label
    your father if he isn't rich."
         "If you mean libel, I'd say so, and not talk about labels, as if papa was a pickle-bottle," advised Jo,
    laughing.
         "I know what I mean, and you needn't be satirical about it. It's proper to use good words, and
    improve your vocabulary," returned Amy, with dignity.
         "Don't peck at one another, children. Don't you wish we had the money papa lost when we were
    little, Jo? Dear me! How happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!" said Meg, who could
    remember better times.
         "You once said you thought we were a deal happier than the King children, for they were fighting
    and fretting all the time, in spite of their money."
         "So I did. I think we are; for, though we do have to work, we make fun for ourselves, and are a pretty
    jolly set, as Jo would say." Jo immediately sat up, put her hands in her pockets, and began to whistle.
         "Don't, Jo; it's so boyish!"
         "That's why I do it."
         "I detest rude, unladylike girls!"
         "I hate affected, niminy-piminy chits!"
         "Birds in their little nests agree" sang Beth, the peacemaker, with such a funny face that both sharp
    voices softened to a laugh, and the `pecking' ended for that time.
