Most people sleep at night, but Frank sleeps during the day and works at night. His work is to guard (看守) a large factory. He is lonely because nobody there talks with him in the evening.
Frank likes his work. He knows that it is important to guard the factory at night. If he hears any noise, he goes quickly to see what it is. Most of the time he walks around inside the big building, but he also walks around outside. When he is tired, he can sit on a chair by the door. It is very cold in winter. He always wears a warm coat when he is working.
One night when Frank went outside, he heard a noise near a dark corner of the factory. He went very quietly towards the noise to see if someone was there, but he only saw a small dog. Frank smiled and talked to the dog. It looked cold and sad. He took the dog inside the building, and the happy dog followed him around. During the rest of the night Frank was not lonely. A dog was a good friend for him.

Different from popular thoughts, colds are not caused by bad weather. Colds are caused by viruses (病毒)in the body, and you are better out on the snowy day than you are in a warm room, with your friends, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill (寒冷) when you are coming down with a cold, you are already sick. A chill is an early sign of the cold.
The virus can spread through air when a cold – sufferer(感冒患者) coughs or sneezes. Surprisingly, this is not the most usual way of spreading, Many studies have now shown that most colds are “ caught ” by hands. A cold – sufferer rubs her nose, so spreading the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit her. They shake their hands. The friend then gets something to eat by hand, and several days later she catches a cold. Although some parents pick up their children’s tissues (纸巾) and carefully throw them away, they fail to wash their hands. They’ll catch the colds, too.
Cold viruses can also be spread by objects, for example, telephones, plates. The cold – sufferer as well as other members of the house, by washing their hands often, will stop the viruses from spreading in a way .
