Spring is coming! We can see another round of flowers blooming. The peach blossom(桃花) is one of those flowers. It usually blooms in March and April.

If you want to see peach blossoms, you can go to Pinggu in Beijing, Nanhui in Shanghai or Longquan in Chengdu. But the most special place to go is Nyingchi in Tibet. Under the blue sky, white snow covers green mountains. At the foot of the mountain, there are a lot of pink peach blossoms.

Chinese people love the peach blossom. Many people write poems about it. People usually compare(比作) the peach blossoms to beautiful young women. A famous sentence goes as, “In this house on this day last year a pink face vied; In beauty with the pink peach blossom side by side.” The peach blossom is like the flush on a shy woman’s face.

Chinese people also say “to have peach blossom luck”. It means being lucky in love. Some people’s eyes are in the shape of peach petals. We call eyes like that “taohuayan”. Those people may have “peach blossom luck”.

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).

1.If you have a common cold, usually you’ll feel better after ______ days.

A.7 B.10 C.15 D.20

2.What does the underlined “it” refer to?

A.Herbal tea. B.Chicken soup. C.A flu virus. D.A flu vaccine.

3.We need to get a flu vaccine every year because ______.

A.the flu often kills us B.the antibodies can help us against all types of flu

C.the flu virus changes every few years D.you don’t need to take any medicine after that

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.

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.
