It is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up, you suddenly feel that your 1 hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold! Wait a second. Could it just be a 2 cold or the flu that's been going around?

A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it's usually easy to 3. Some take medicine such as aspirin (阿司匹林) 4 others try home treatments like herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you will feel better after a week.

The flu on the other hand can be much more 5. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can be deadly. The worst flu, the so-called Spanish Flu of 1918 to 1919, killed about 50 million people, according to The Atlantic.

Don't worry. Getting a flu vaccine (流感疫苗) can 6 you from the virus (病毒). Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes our body to develop antibodies (抗体). So next time you get the flu, the antibodies can help protect you.

Treasured acts of kindness

When the whole nation stands together to fight the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒), we can see many unforgettable moments that warm our hearts. Take a look at some of them!

      A Chinese girl holds a sign to show thanks and support to her homeland after coming back from Vietnam. Thanks to the hard work of the Chinese Embassy (大使馆) in Vietnam, about 400 Chinese people who had to stay abroad could fly home on Feb.15.

      Doctors lead patients to dance through daily exercise in Wuhan's largest cabin hospital on Feb.15. This activity helps improve their moods.

That was the end of the term. When we were studying something about DNA, Mr. Kwak, the science teacher, told us to prepare for a debate (辩论). I was a little worried. We found we were against a group which was filled with native English-speaking students, while there was only one American boy in our group. However, we didn't dread the challenge. Our topic was "Should college accept students based on their DNA traits(特征)?" We opposed this thought.

I took the role of Q&A. When I went back to the dormitory, I asked for help from an experienced debater in college. He taught me how to express ideas, search for information on different websites and list the points.

After a week's preparation, I stood on the stage with a well-thought plan in my mind. Then I noticed that the hope of our group, the American boy, was sick that day. His position of first speaker was empty. I had to take his position and plan my materials and data again. Before the debate, I kept asking myself what if I couldn't understand what they were saying, and what if they included some idioms(惯用语) that I didn't even know. I was even nervous. But when I stood in front of the whole class, I saw trust and encouragement from my group members. I started to cool down. I fluently stated our opinions and asked questions. When our opponents(对手) had their opening speech, I wrote down some points to retort(反驳) them. Although Mr. Kwak didn't tell me who won the debate, I believe I have already learned a lot. Never lose confidence and you will surely win.

Are you truly happy? Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness? These are important questions for anyone who is looking for happiness.       

Firstly, making a plan will make you happy. Your moods will be very wonderful if you get ready to achieve goals or if you are going after something you value.

Secondly, make yourself stay with happy people. It is easy to begin to think negatively (消极地) when you stay with people who think in this way.       

Thirdly, when something goes wrong, try to find out a solution instead of being lost in self-pity.        It is because they know that with a little thought, they can change the situation for the better.

Fourthly, spend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy. These minutes will help you focus on the positive things in your life.        Whether you have lunch, take a relaxing bath or simply spend a few minutes on your appearance, you will put yourself in a better mood.

       Finding a way to look down upon a situation can make you happy, too.

Lastly, keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness. Being fat or not eating healthy foods can have a negative effect on your moods. After all, having a healthy body is the capital of revolution (革命) .

A. Fifthly, finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness.

B. Truly happy people don't allow difficulties to influence their happiness.

C. The following are a few tips that will be very helpful to you.

D. However, if you are around people who are happy, you will be happy, too.

E. It's also important to spend some time each day doing something nice for yourself.

F. Sometimes, being happy or unhappy is just a kind of feeling in your own heart and an attitude to your life.

We students have two days off in a week. But do you know "996"? It means starting work at 9 a.m. and finishing at 9 p.m., six days a week.

The "996" work schedule has recently become a heated topic of discussion online. According to the website, working in a "996" schedule is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in serious illness. This work schedule is common at Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei. Most "996" workers do not receive overtime pay.

Many tech industry workers have complained about this schedule. "I worked ‘996' for nine months," one worker said. "I couldn't sleep because of the stress. So, I leave my job."

However, the bosses of some tech companies supported "996". Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it's "a huge blessing" for young workers to work "996".

"If you don't do ‘996' when you're young, when will you?" Ma said. "If you don't spend more time and energy than others, how will you achieve the success you want?"

Many have questioned Ma's thinking. In an article in People's Daily, one reporter said, "There is a clear difference between valuing hard work and forcing employees to work overtime."

A lawyer told China Daily that it is illegal (违法的) to use a "996" work schedule. China's Labor Law clearly states that employees should not be asked to work more than eight hours a day or 44 hours a week.

Put on a presentation(陈述，报告)

In the UK, there are many classes that students in China don't have. One is called PSHCE, which stands for Personal, Social, Health and Civilization(文明) Education. 在这节课上，他们可以了解到世界上的不同文化。

The class mostly includes discussions and talking about our own experiences. The teachers prepare presentations and leaflets(散页印刷品) for the students. Sometimes students are asked to watch videos to see how people behave in some situations. Sometimes, teachers will teach about all kinds of topics.

Everystudenthastodopresentationstogetherwithothermembersinagroup. Everyone is in charge of a different part of a presentation.

How can you have a better presentation?

● Control your nerves

It does help you not to forget what you are going to say. The audience(听众) doesn't care if you mess up, and what they care about is what you are going to do about it.

● Be prepared

When possible, you should get to the location of your presentation the day before to make sure all the electronic aids work.

● Engage(吸引) the audience.

Whether you've got a one-on-one talk or a speech in front of 400 people, think “storytelling”. Stories are powerful. The way to a person's head is through his or her heart.

● Pause(暂停) for a while.

If you've got something people should read, pause and let them read it. However, if you leave your pause too long, people will feel uncomfortable.

Because of the novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan in December, the number of people infected and patients       died kept climbing. It is reported that the epidemic has something to do with the selling of wild        at South China Seafood Market. There is no doubt that hunting and killing wild animals has a bad influence. On the one hand, wild animals        for their meat, which causes the imbalance of nature. What's worse, some of        may disappear forever. On the other hand, because of the contact (接触) between humans and wild animals, epidemics like SARS and pneumonia may infect humans       .

Since the outbreak of the disease, the Chinese government        down the city directly to prevent the spread of the disease. At the same time, the Chinese people pull together to fight the epidemic. Our relationship becomes even        in the face of the disaster.

For the further development, something must be done to stop this illegal action. First, Nature Reserves (保护区) are supposed to be built so as to offer more living space to wildlife. Second, be aware that never have wild animals for food        they are part of environment. Third, it is time for the government        laws about protecting wildlife. In this way, we can build a        and friendly society and ensure a sustainable development (可持续发展).
