Spring is beautiful But not everyone loves this season. The wind in spring brings pollen (花粉) and dust(灰尘) .This makes some people sneeze and itch (发痒) .Why does this happen? Let's find out!
Your eyes itch. Your nose is running. You are sneezing. And you have rashes (疹子) on your skin (皮肤) .This is caused-by allergies (过敏)! Allergies are caused by your immune system (免疫系统) , Usually, your immune system fights against germs (细菌) to keep you healthy but when you have allergies, it acts differently and fights against things like grass, pollen or some foods. This makes you feel uncomfortable.
There are many different kinds of allergies. Food allergies are some of the most common. Many children are allergic to foods like milk, eggs and peanuts.
Some people are also allergic to pollen. They may sneeze or cough when pollen gets into their nose or eyes.
Medicine may also give people allergies. For example, penicillin (青霉素) can be fatal to some people.
Some people can't even touch water. They have a hard time taking baths.
However, there is a way to find out what you are allergic to: Skin testing. Doctors put samples of different allergens on your skin. Then they wait to see if the skin around the sample becomes red. Once you know what you are allergic to, the best thing to do is try to stay away from them.

Spring is an inviting season for outdoor activities. But be careful—the warm weather is also a hotbed for viruses(病毒) and disease.
This March, the influenza(流行性感冒) A(H7N9) virus hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was reported that by April 11 at least 35 people had been infected (被感染的) with the H7N9 virus, and nine of them had died.
The influenza A (H7N9) virus is one type of influenza A H7 viruses. Influenza A H7 viruses normally spread among birds.
This is the first time human infections with H7N9 viruses have been reported in China. Earlier reports were about H5N1 and H1N1.
All the three viruses are influenza A viruses but they are not the same. H7N9 and H5N1 are animal influenza viruses that could infect people. However, H1N1 viruses can be divided into two groups. One group can normally infect people and the other normally infects animals. Also, H1N1 can spread from human to human, but H7N9 probably can’t, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Most people infected with H7N9 looked like they had the common flu. Some people had bad pneumonia(肺炎). They suffered from a fever, a cough and shortness of breath.
But don’t be afraid – it is not easy to be infected with the virus. One of the possible reasons is close contact with sick poultry (家禽) waste. People may also be infected through breath, according to National Health and Family Planning Commission.
Here are some tips from the WHO that can protect you from being infected.
Wash your hands with soap and running water before you eat, after you use the toilet, and after touching animals or animal waste.
When coughing or sneezing cover your mouth and nose with a mask(口罩),tissue(纸巾) or a sleeve.
Get a good rest and do exercises, which will help make your body strong enough to stand up to the virus.
1.What’s the name of the influenza virus that hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang this March?
A.It is the H7N9 virus. B.It is the H5N1 virus.
C.It is the H1N1 virus. D.It is A H7 virus.
2.How many people had died by April 11according to the report?
A.About 35. B.About 9.
C.About 44. D.Nobody had died.
3.What’s the Chinese meaning for “stand up to” in the last paragraph?
A.起立 B.站着 C.抵抗 D.向上
4.Which is NOT true about protecting us from being infected by animal influenza viruses?
A.Wash our hands with soap and running water before we eat, after we use the toilet, and after touching animals or animal waste.
B.When we cough or sneeze we should cover our mouths and noses with a mask,tissue or a sleeve.
C.We should get a good rest and do exercises to make our bodies strong enough.

Do you love seeing beautiful lanterns (灯笼) outside? The best time to do this is during the Lantern Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the first lunar (阴历) month. This year it is on March 2, marking the end of Spring Festival celebrations.
Lanterns are a big part of the festival. One story says that the bright lanterns show respect to gods. Another says that people light lanterns to celebrate the disappearance of darkness of winter.
Watching lanterns is a great event. You see lanterns in any sizes and shapes you can imagine, from animals to plants and flowers. To make this activity more fun, people put riddles (谜语) on the lanterns. In some places, people like releasing sky lanterns, which are called Kongming lanterns. A sky lantern is a small hot air balloon made of paper, with an opening at the bottom where there is a small fire source. When the bright lights fly high in the sky, people make wishes.
In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic(浪漫). At that time, young girls were not allowed to go out very often except during certain festivals. Therefore, looking at lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this: “Restlessly, I searched for her in thousands, hundreds of ways. Suddenly I turned, and there she was in the receding light.”
