A

Do you have a sore throat, a running nose and a headache? Do you keep coughing and sneezing? If you do, the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu — but which one? Although both colds and flu are caused by viruses, they are very different illnesses.

Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a runny nose and sneezing. Sometimes, they cause a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.

Flu is a much more serious illness and is caused by different group of viruses. People with flu usually get all the symptoms described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much worse aching. Fever is one of the characteristic symptoms of the flu for all ages. The symptoms also last much longer. Sometimes they don’t disappear for at least two weeks.

Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly, who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people, can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advised to have a flu injection (预防针) before the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely worth it.

If you have a cold or flu, you must always deal with used tissues carefully. Don’t leave dirty tissues on your desk or on the floor. Someone else has to pick these up and viruses could be passed on. And finally, remember to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze! You don’t want to see the small drop of liquids blown out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze, do you? Disgusting, eh? Now you can understand why it’s a good idea to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!

B

There were once two men, both seriously ill, in the same small room of a great hospital.It had one window looking out on the world. One of the men, as part of his treatment, was allowed to sit up in bed for an hour in the afternoon. His bed was next to the window. But the other man had to spend all his time lying flat on his back.

Every afternoon when the man next to the window was propped（支撑）up for his hour, he would pass the time by describing what he could see outside. The window overlooked a park where there was a lake. There were ducks and swans in the lake, and children came to throw them bread and sail model boats. Young lovers walked hand in hand beneath the trees, and there were flowers, grass and games of softball.

The man on his back would listen to the other man describe all of this, enjoying every minute. His friend’s descriptions eventually made him feel he could almost see what was happening outside. He started to feel ashamed of not having the chance.

One night as he stared at the ceiling, the other man suddenly woke up, coughing and choking, his hands groping（摸索）for the button that would bring the nurse running. But the man watched without moving — even when the sound of breathing stopped. In the morning, the nurse found the other man dead, and quietly took his body away.

As soon as it seemed decent, the man asked if he could be switched to the bed next to the window. So they moved him as he asked, and made him quite comfortable. The minute they left, he propped himself up on one arm, painfully and laboriously, and looked out of the window.

It faced a blank wall. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m

7. One afternoon the man lying on his back suddenly longed _______.

A. for the nurse to change his bed

B. to prop himself up and look out

C. to tell the other man what he could see

D. for the chance to find out about the outside world

8. What could the man on his back have done to help the other man when he was choking?

A. He could have told the nurse to come.

B. He could have given the other man some water.

C. He could have pressed the button for the nurse.

D. He could have got a coughing pill for the other man.

9. What does the underlined word “decent” mean _______.

A. immediate B. late

C. punctual D. adequate

10. What did the man on his back probably realize when he looked out of the window?

C. The other man had been trying to cheer both of them up.

D. The other man had been suffering from some mental disease.
