Question

【题目】 Not long ago, no one understood that infectious diseases were caused by tiny organisms that moved from person to person. Even now, although we know that tiny living microbes cause disease, how they do so is not always obvious. 【1】 They can also be transmitted through our skin through insect or animal bites. The best way to prevent infections is to block pathogens （病菌）from entering the body.

The first line of defense is to keep germs at bay by following good personal health habits. Wash your hands well. You probably wash your hands after using the bathroom, before preparing or eating food, and after gardening or other dirty tasks. 【2】 Wet your hands thoroughly. Lather（泡沫）up with soap or cleanser, and rub it into the palms and backs of your hands and your wrists. Be sure to clean your fingertips, under your nails and between your fingers. Wash under running water. 【3】

Whether you are young or young at heart, getting vaccinated（接种疫苗）is an essential part of staying healthy. 【4】 such as a temporarily sore arm or low fever, they are generally safe and effective. Vaccinations are essential if you are to avoid getting sick. In general, children should receive the recommended childhood vaccinations. Adults should make sure their vaccinations are up to date. When traveling abroad, check with your health care provider about additional immunizations（免疫）.

【5】 Stay clear of wild animals. Many wild animals, including bats, foxes and coyotes, can spread the virus to humans by biting. Keep your pets away from wild animals, too. Dogs, cats or any other type of warm-blooded animal can pick up the virus and pass the virus along to people.

A.Dry your hands and wrists thoroughly.

B.Use animal control to prevent infections.

C.While vaccines may cause some common side effects,

D.Although vaccines can not prevent some rare diseases,

E.Other wild animals can not transmit the virus and other infections.
