There were two mountains between Jizhou in the south and Heyang in the north. Both of them were very high. An old man, called Mr. Fool, lived in the north of the mountain with his family. He was nearly ninety years old. Because of these two high mountains, the whole family had to walk a long way from one side to the other side of the mountains.

One day, Mr. Fool called all his family together to talk about moving the two mountains to other places. All of them agreed. So it was decided. His children started to dig (挖掘) the mountains with him.

The next day, Mr. Smart came and said, “Why did you do that? These two mountains are so high and you are so old and weak! How can you move the mountains?” Mr. Fool laughed and said, “It’s not difficult at all! Look! Those two mountains are still there, but I have my children, and my children will have their children, generations after generations (一代又一代), there’s no end. I believe someday the mountains will be moved.”

We all know that getting the flu is not fun. There are headaches, coughs, fevers, and other terrible feelings. To help us get better, we take some medicine and get much rest. We also drink lots of water and eat healthy food to make us feel better.

In fact, no one wants to fall ill. So many people get a flu shot before the flu season starts. The flu shot is in fact a vaccine (疫苗), not usual cold medicine. It will protect (保护) them from the flu.

The vaccine gets some of the flu into the body. But don’t worry, the flu is dead (死的) and won’t make you fall ill. It will teach your body to know the disease and fight it off in the future. Vaccines not only protect you but also others. That’s because they help stop diseases from spreading (扩散) from person to person. When fewer people have the diseases, the chances of getting them go down. Sometimes, the diseases just go away.

Vaccines are quite safe, but some people are still afraid of them. They worry that the vaccines will cause serious side effects (副作用). Vaccines may cause side effects, but they are usually not as ________ as people think. For most people, vaccines are safe and can make them better. So they want them in their bodies.
