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 that's been 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（草药茶）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 develop antibodies（抗体）. So next time you get the flu, the antibodies should help you. The flu virus changes every few years. Therefore, 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 stop you developing a cold or flu. Washing your hands often helps stop you from getting viruses. 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）.
（1）If you have a common cold, usually you'll feel better after ______.
A a week
B two weeks
C ten days
D twenty days
（2）According to the passage, which is TRUE of the flu?
A It first happened in 1919.
B It usually doesn't give you fever.
C It is easy to deal with.
D It can kill people sometimes.
（3）If you get a flu vaccine, ______.
A it can't stop you from getting the flu virus
B it won't cause your body to develop antibodies
C your body will develop antibodies
D your body will get a large amount of flu viruses
（4）We need to get a flu vaccine every few years because ______.
A we probably have a cold in winter
B the flu virus changes every few years
C the flu is very dangerous
D you don't need to take any medicine after that
（5）The following ways can help stop the flu EXCEPT ______.
A staying indoors
B getting regular exercise
C eating healthy food
D washing our hands often

During an earthquake. It's important to stay calm. If you're indoors, quickly move to a safe

26. Dear chairperson,
I would like to join the World Wildlife Protection Society. My name is Kitty. I was born in January, 2006 and study in Grade
8 at Sunshine Middle School. My favourite subject is Biology and I am crazy about watching something about animals and
nature on TV.
Now there are fewer and fewer forests. Wild animals don't have enough living space. So we should take action right away.
We can take some photos of wild animals to help people learn more about them. Also, we can write articles about protecting
wildlife for your websites.
I will be happy if I can become a member of your society. I am looking forward to your reply. You can email me at
Kitty2019@126. com.
Yours sincerely,
Kitty。
