Don’t Be Afraid of the Influenza A（H1N1）等

Dont Be Afraid of the Influenza A(H1N1)等

The influenza A(H1N1) has appeared in almost every country since being identified earlier this year. It seems to be a threat to our health.

Why are we so worried about this flu when hundreds of thousands die every year from seasonal influenza? The influenza A(H1N1) appears to be as contagious as seasonal influenza, and is spreading fast particularly among people from ages 10 to 45. It is a new virus and one to which most people have no or little immunity, and therefore, this virus could cause more infections than are seen with seasonal flu.

But you should not be afraid of it. If you form a good personal hygiene habit such as sufficient sleep, attendance in exercise, reduced pressure, enough nutrition, and so on, you can effectively prevent the A(H1N1) flu.

And now, the flu will be no longer a terror, because the vaccine for the A(H1N1) strain of flu has been mass production. The health care workers will be among the first to get vaccinated, because they are on the front-line of fighting the virus. Other priority groups include people with underlying chronic conditions like diabetes, asthma or cardiovascular problems.

chimp Is nuts for puma cud

SHE has a tender heart, a nice hairy shoulder to cry on and she knows where the baby wipes are. So Anjana the chimpanzee is well qualified to kitten-sit orphaned puma cub Sierra, helping the humans at a South Carolina zoo with all the feeding, cuddling, and chasing duties.

The chimp has lived her whole life at the Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species.

“If Sierra is running around too fast, then Anjana will scoop her up so she doesnt get into any trouble,” director Bhagavan Antle said.

Anjana has already helped to bring up two royal white tiger cubs, a leopard and four lions.

“If you need a baby wipe, you can just tell her and shell run off and get it,” Dr Antle said.

Question:Who is “SHE” (the underlined word in Paragraph 1) and what is her name?

The Art of War is well-known as a book on the art of war. It is also recognized as an encyclopedia about business and management. The book is popular around the world, and foreigners are fascinated by the strategies created by Sun Tzu. You can see the aphorisms be quoted everywhere, even in dramas.

For example, in the hot TV drama Prison Break, the FBI spy Mahone ever said, “Sun Tzu said that if you know your enemy, you need not fear 100 battles. I know these men, who they are, where they come from, where they want to go.”

Is it incredible? If you are careful enough, you will find that in TV dramas, there are more aphorisms quoted from The Art of War.

Glee (An American musical comedy-drama television series)

Kurt:Sun Tzu says in his Art of War to never let the enemy know you. Our greatest weapon could be the element of surprise.

The Real Image of Your Face in the Mirror

You have often looked into a mirror, of course. But you havent seen the real image of your face yet. And this is why you couldnt see it.

When you look into a mirror, you dont see your face as other people see it. You see a reversed image. If you close your left eye, your image closes its right eye. If you touch your right ear with your right hand, your image touches its left ear with its left hand.

If you have two small mirrors, you can see your face as your friends see it. You hold two mirrors at right angles to each other and look into them, as shown in the picture. After some practice you will be able to see the real image of your face.

Whats your explanation to it?
