1 . Ways to fight the flu

The flu is annoying enough on its own. In order to keep yourself from it, follow these tips.

★Get the flu vaccine (疫苗). It’s the best way to protect yourself against the flu.     1     It also helps the people around you because there’s less chance you will catch the flu and pass it on.

★Wash your hands often.   Hand washing is an important way to protect against germs (细菌) like flu viruses.     2       So get in the habit of washing your hands when you come home from school, the mall, or anywhere else where you are around a lot of people.

★     3     Flu viruses travel through the air, so try to stay away from people who look sick. It’s also a good idea to avoid touching your nose, eyes, and mouth –three places flu viruses can easily enter the body.

★Cough or sneeze into a tissue (手巾纸) –not into your hands. That way, you’re not spreading the virus when you touch surfaces that other people may touch too.

★     4     You don’t want to pass your germs to someone else. And staying home is a great excuse to watch your favorite movie, play video games, or read to have a good rest.     5

As I was also not interested in schoolwork, we became good friends. Though every day, the teacher assigned us a great deal of homework, we took no notice of it. In the classroom, I couldn’t focus     2     what the teacher taught. As a result, my academic performance was becoming from bad to     3     (bad). As I couldn’t find any fun in school, I played poker whenever I was free. At     4     beginning, we just played for fun, but not soon later, we played for gambling.     5     really made me happy even excited.

When I first got the invitation call, I was     4    excited to believe my ears!

6 . How Spies Are Trained

    1     A navy, army or air-force officer who has a gift for language, and at the same time is thoroughly trained in the technical side of his work may be considered for active employment. A businessman who travels a great deal may be considered for active employment. After his background has been thoroughly investigated, a man living abroad may be useful as a spy.

In Britain potential spies are to get through psychological tests. For instance, a candidate can be taken in front of a high barrier of barbed (装有倒钩的) wire and told to cross it safely. Also, a spy must be unusually courageous.     2     But a spy risks death alone.

The German system of spy training during World War II was more dramatic. After being, given a thorough medical examination, he was led to a shooting range where a machine-gun suddenly opened fire and to his horror a group of men fell to the ground, apparently dead.    3    

Today a prospective new comer is sent to what might be called a spy school where his training is more extensive. He must master codes and ciphers（密码）and develop an extremely great memory because writing them down will be too dangerous. He must become a skilled radio operator and be able to repair his own equipment and he must be able to drive any make of car,    4     He must be trained in the art of burglary and be skilled at opening locks.

    5     So it is just understandable that spy schools are not open to everyone. Above all, still another quality is required, He must be a man of moral soundness. Yet he must be prepared to lower himself to the meanest crime in order to complete his Assignment successfully.

A．A soldier fights supported by his comrades.

B．He must become an expert in unarmed fight.

C．A spy must necessarily be carefully selected.

D．The doctor immediately took his pulse and tested his heart.

E．There are several factors causing someone to become a spy.

F．Spying is at any time a confidential, lonely, dangerous and difficult profession.

G．The spy usually contacts no one else, never learning the names of any other spies.

7 . You might think that simple things like saying hello and goodbye are the same in every culture. Think again!

Shaking hands to say hello or goodbye was a Western custom at first.     1    

Traditionally, the Chinese custom for greeting was to hold one’s hands together and nod their head a little.

Japanese people greet each other by bowing.When greeting an older or more important person, it is usual to bow lower and for longer.    2     But only men did it.

People in European countries such as Italy often greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks (脸颊). Even men greet each other like this.    3    

Eskimos, a group of people living in the very cold northern areas of North America, greet each other by lightly rubbing their noses together.    4     Often, Eskimos only leave their eyes and noses uncovered. And the rest of their bodies are covered with warm clothing and their hands with gloves.

When you’re not sure what the customs are in a new country, there’s one greeting that is the same all over the world: a smile.    5    

A．Kissing is only for close family or women friends.

B．However, Eskimos never greet each other with a bow.

C．Everyone understands a smile so don’t be afraid to use it!

D．In some cultures, it is usual to kiss on the cheek three times!
