Did you get a flu shot this year?For the first time,the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US is recommending that all children aged from 6 months to 18 years receive the flu vaccine.
Vaccines battle diseases caused by bacteria and viruses.A weakened form of the germ (病菌) is introduced into the body.The body makes special substances called antibodies (抗体) to fight the germs.If the actual germs were to attack,the antibodies would fight.Because there are many kinds of flu viruses,scientists must create a new vaccine formula (处方) each year.Researchers must make a prediction.
It is like forecasting the weather.Sometimes they are right on,and sometimes they are off.But even when the vaccine does not closely match circulating flu types,it can make the illness less serious.
“The flu vaccine is not as effective as the polio (小儿麻痹症) vaccine or the measles vaccine,” says Dr.William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.“It’s not a great vaccine,but it is in fact quite a good vaccine.”
But a flu vaccine doesn’t work for everyone.There are certain people who should be careful about taking it,because the vaccine is produced in eggs.Those who are allergic (过敏的) to eggs should not take it.If you have a fever,you should wait until you recover.
Some people are afraid that they might get the flu from the flu shot.Scientists say that it is not possible,because the viruses in the flu shot are inactivated.But some minor side effects such as low­grade fever and body ache could occur.If they do,they begin soon after the shot and usually last only one to two days.
Did you know?Smallpox was the first disease people tried to prevent by putting a virus into a healthy person.In 1796,English scientist Edward Jenner placed some infected material under a boy’s skin.
小题1:The underlined word “vaccine” (in Para.1) refers to________.
A.virus used for fighting against disease
B.antibody to fight the germs
C.formula to fight against disease
D.germ to be injected into the body
小题2:By saying “It’s not a great vaccine,but it is in fact quite a good vaccine.” (in Para.4),William Schaffner means the flu vaccine________.
A.is as effective as the polio and the measles vaccines
B.is worse,compared with the polio and the measles vaccines
C.does help to make illness less serious
D.is quite good because it works for everyone
小题3:We can infer from the passage that________.
A.those who are not allergic to eggs can take the flu vaccine
B.not all the flu vaccines are effective for everyone
C.you should go to a doctor if you have a fever after taking the flu vaccine
D.it is possible that some people might get the flu from the flu shot
小题4:When people take the flu vaccine,________.
A.they’ll be allergic to eggs
B.their bodies will ache for 5 days
C.they probably have a low fever
D.they won’t catch a flu ever after

答案

小题1:D
小题2:C
小题3:B
小题4:C
解析

小题1: D
解析 词义猜测题。由第二段可知,一种形式受到弱化的病菌被注入体内,人体就会产生抗体。病毒入侵时,抗体就能抗击病毒,因而vaccine是一种注入人体的病菌,故选D项。
小题2: C
解析 细节理解题。William Schaffner说流感疫苗不像小儿麻痹症疫苗或麻疹疫苗那么有效,后又说它不是一个效果特别好的疫苗,但是效果还不错,也就是说多多少少对疾病会有帮助。
小题3: B
解析 推理判断题。文章第三段说流感疫苗就像天气预报那样,有的时候能对上正在流行的流感类型,有的时候则对不上。第五段第一句又说疫苗不是对每个人都管用,也就是说流感疫苗并不是对每个人都有效。
小题4: C
解析 细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段可知,注射流感疫苗后,人体可能会有反应,比如发低烧和身体疼痛等,但这些症状在一两天内就可消失。

Being organized is an important skill for school and life.When you’re well organized,you can stay focused,instead of spending time hunting things down and getting sidetracked.What does it mean to be organized?For schoolwork,it means having one notebook or place where you store all your assignments,so you know what you have to do and when.Keeping clearly labeled binders or folders for handouts and keeping all your schoolwork neat and in a specific place—these are the main parts of organization.
For home stuff,being organized means having a place to put your things and putting them back as you go.It means hanging your coat up instead of dropping it on the floor or throwing it on a chair.It means keeping your schoolbag,your shoes,and your clean underwear in the same places so you always know where to find them.
Planning is part of being organized,too.Planning means deciding what you will do and when you will do it.Calendars,lists,and schedules can help you plan.You can buy or draw a calendar and keep it near your workplace.Making a schedule or a “to­do” list for yourself is a good idea.Looking at your list helps you keep track of what you need to do.Add new things as you get assignments,and check off things when you’ve done them.Use your list to help you decide which thing is the most important to work on first.
It takes some extra efforts to organize yourself and your stuff.But once you’re organized,you feel great.The less time you spend hunting around for things or panicking about homework,the more time you have for better things,like reading a good book or playing.

LONDON—Here’s a new warning from health experts:Sitting is deadly.
Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for long periods—even if you also exercise regularly—could be bad for your health.And it doesn’t matter where the sitting takes place—at the office,at school,in the car or before a computer or TV—just the overall number of hours it occurs.Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat,have a heart attack or even die.
In an editorial published this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine,Elin Ekblom­Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define physical activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.
While health officials have issued guidelines recommending minimum amounts of physical activity,they haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position.
“After four hours of sitting,the body starts to send harmful signals,”said Ekblom­Bak.She explained that genes regulating(调节) the amount of glucose(葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down.
Even for people who exercise,spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful.Tim Armstrong,a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization,said people who exercise every day—but still spend a lot of time sitting—might get more benefit if that exercise was spread across the day,rather than in a single bout(一回).
Still,in a study published in 2009 that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years,researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk,whether or not they exercised.
“We don’t have enough evidence yet to say how much sitting is bad,” said Peter Katzmarzyk of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge,who led the Canadian study.“But it seems the more you can get up and interrupt this sedentary behavior,the better.”
Figures from a U.S. survey in 2003­2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting,from working at their desks to sitting in cars.
Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous,and what might be possible to offset those effects.
“People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits,” Ekblom­Bak said.“But when they’re in the office,they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible,” she said.
小题1:What is the best title for the text?

A.It results in a higher death risk.
B.It increases glucose and fat in the body.
C.It makes a person unable to exercise long enough in a day.

You will go to college some day and college is one of the most exciting stages of one’s life.If you wish to make the most of your campus(校园) experience and become a better person after those four years,then first you ought to make friends.Close friends contribute to your self­growth for they provide you with moral support that is so important to survive the stressful college life.Friends can lend a helping hand when necessary like collecting your homework when you’re too sick to leave your dorm,and help you develop the right attitude by pointing out to you your weaknesses.
Being home most of your life and then suddenly finding yourself on your own in a large campus without your parents to hold your hand can be annoying.However,rather than thinking about your missing home too much,why not see this new stage in your life as an opportunity for self­growth and develop the right attitude that will prepare you for the rigors of post­graduation life,particularly when you join the workforce?
Special­interest clubs or organizations are great for self­growth.Here,not only do you get the opportunity to meet with like­minded people,you can also discover more things about your field of interest.Club meetings usually include lively discussions,so go there with the right attitude.You should try to build a good name in the organization by being respectful,active and considerate to others.
You might not like all of your professors,but they are there to provide knowledge you need to be successful in your chosen field.Thus,show up for each class with the right attitude and determination to learn.Whether you get along well with your professors or not has a huge effect on your self­growth as it is a measure of how well you can respect authority and obey requirements.
Actively participating in a class debate(辩论) or lecture contributes to your self­growth as it helps you build confidence in speaking up and improves your communication skills.It also helps you develop the right attitude by exercising diplomacy(外交术) when you choose your words carefully especially when discussing a very politically sensitive issue and exercising patience when dealing with classmates who shoot down your ideas.
小题1:In the writer’s opinion,how can college students develop a positive attitude?
A.By joining special­interest clubs.
