Disha Florence never thought she would become a web novel writer. The lady from Bangladesh, was trying to find a way to free     1     (she) from the restrictions faced by a woman, a wish she has had since she was 8. It was then that she observed that being a girl meant she couldn’t play in the park like boys, and that she     2     (have) to learn to do housework.

As she grew up, she realised that     3     experience and knowledge, it’s impossible to be free. Therefore, while     4     (continue) her study, Florence worked as a volunteer, going to places and meeting people with or without her parents’     5     (permit). Her father told her, “You need to make your own money to do as you wish.” Florence found this advice logical,     6     didn’t know what to do.

At 22, she noticed on the Chinese reading app Webnovel that the website was hiring authors who     7     (say) to be able to make much money.

Without thinking further, Florence started writing and became     8     professional web novelist. Inspired by popular Chinese “CEO novels” on the app, Florence wrote her     9     (one) book. This story about self-respect and self-love,     10     characters are Chinese, is set in Europe.

Now Florence has about 164,200 readers on Webnovel and is working on another two books.

10 . When colds and flu hit, many people automatically turn to over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to push through and treat their symptoms. Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely used, it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not risk-free. A study estimated that every year, 26,735 people went to the emergency room for adverse (不利的) events related to OTC cold and cough medicines.

When two or more drugs are used together, their interactions can sometimes produce unexpected harmful effects. Physicians are typically knowledgeable about potential drug interactions, so it is very important for patients to ask their healthcare providers which OTC medicines are safe for them to use.

It is important to read the package ingredients of OTC medicines closely to avoid duplication of doses (剂量重复). Cold medicines are typically made up of multiple ingredients. A person who takes a single-ingredient medicine paired with one of these multi-ingredient medicines can receive an unsafe dose of that ingredient.

While everyone could potentially experience adverse effects from cold and flu medicines, some groups — including older adults, children and pregnant women — may be at greater risk. Older people who are using prescribed drugs to treat multiple health conditions may have a higher risk of drug interactions because of the higher number of medicines being used at the same time to treat different conditions. The aging body is not as expert at absorbing, distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are. This can put older adults at higher risk for an overdose and drug-to-drug interactions with some medicines.

The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not recommend giving cold medicines to children under age 4. Because of a variety of factors, young children have a higher risk of an accidental overdose and adverse events that could lead to death.
