Seasonal influenza is characterized by a sudden fever, cough, headache, muscle and joint pain, sore throat and runny nose. Most people recover from fever and 1symptoms within a week without requiring medical attention. But influenza can2severe illness or death in people at high risk. The time from infection to illness is about two days.
Yearly influenza epidemics can3affect all age groups, but the highest risk of complications occur among children younger than age two, adults age 65 or older, and people of4age with certain medical conditions, such as chronic heart, lung, kidney, liver, blood or metabolic diseases, or weakened immune systems.
Seasonal influenza5easily and can sweep through schools, nursing homes or businesses and towns. When an6person coughs, infected droplets get into the air and another person can breathe them7and be exposed. The virus can also be spread by hands infected with the virus.8transmission, people should cover their mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing, and9their hands regularly.
Drugs for influenza are 10in some countries and effectively prevent and treat the illness. Some influenza viruses develop 11to the antiviral medicines, limiting the effectiveness of treatment.
Influenza epidemics occur12during autumn and winter in temperate regions. Illnesses result in hospitalizations and deaths mainly among high-risk groups. Worldwide, these annual epidemics result in about three to five million13of severe illness, and about 250 000 to 500 000 deaths.
Influenza can cause serious public health and economic problems. In14countries, epidemics can result in high levels of worker absenteeism and productivity15.16most people recover from a bout(轮) of influenza, there are large numbers of people who need hospital treatment and many17die from the disease every year.18is known about the effects of influenza epidemics in developing countries.
The most19way to prevent the disease or severe outcomes from the illness is vaccination. Vaccination is especially important for people at higher risk of serious influenza complications, and for people who live with or care20high risk individuals.

The amount of usable water has always been of great interest in the world. 1 springs and streams sometimes means control, particularly in the 2 areas like the desert. The control is possible even without possession of large areas of 3 land. In the early days of the American West, gun fights were not 4 for the water resources (资源). And laws had to be 5 to protect the water rights of the 6 and the use of the water resources accordingly.
7 is known to us all, there is not 8 water in all places for everyone to use as much as he likes. Deciding on the 9 of water that will be used in any particular period
10 careful planning, so that people can manage and use water more 11. Farmers have to change their use of or demand for water 12 the water supply forecast (预报).
The 13 water supply forecast is based more on the water from the 14 than from the below. Interest is 15 in the ways to increase rainfall by man-made methods, and to get water from the winter snow on mountain 16. With special equipment, some scientists are studying the ways in which the mountain snow can be 17, and with the help of a repeater station, they send the 18 data (数据) to the base station. The operator at the base station can get the data at any time by 19 a button. In the near future, the forecast and use of water 20 probably depend on the advance knowledge of snow on mountains, not of water underground.

I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too… I wasn’t1watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went2our way after saying goodbye.
But at3, a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I4the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I5knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown (皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart6. I didn’t realize how rudely I had spoken.
That night, when I lay7in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While8with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite… Go look around on the kitchen floor, you’11 find some flowers there by the9. Those are the flowers she brought for you. She10them herself — pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the11in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪) by her12. “Wake up, my,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I13them in a napkin(纸巾), just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the14.” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today… And I15have fussed (大惊小怪) at you that way…”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s OK… I still love you16.” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the17you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave18will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our19than into our families--- an unwise investment (投资) indeed.

For much of our life, my mother and I hated each other. I spent most of my childhood1with her – or trying to avoid her, as well as her bitterness, unhappiness and endless smoking. I learned how to defend myself with2designed to hurt her. In turn, she vowed I would have a3who would feel the way about me that I felt about her.
Many years later when my husband and I decided to have a child, I was4to have a girl. I couldn’t5the though of a daughter who might not love me – or who would want to6me. As soon as I became pregnant, I was convinced I was having a boy. In the delivery room, on my doctor putting my baby into my arms, I couldn’t wait to tell my mother I had a7, while “he” was a girl. At that moment, I couldn’t imagine wanting anyone but her.
8I couldn’t forget my mother’s teasing vow, even after she died and I saw her in a more9light. As my daughter got older, whenever we argued, I worried we were10the same awful path that my mother and I had gone down.
Last summer, my daughter1118, the same age when my mother threw me out of her apartment for12. However, I was with her, planning for her first year at college. When my husband and I dropped her off at her school in New York, I finally13to her my biggest fear that we would end up like me and my mother. “That will never happen.” she14me, kissing me goodbye. Six weeks later, my husband and I returned to the campus. I15myself arguing with my daughter about her messy room, not using the library and her mistake of choosing the room near the bathroom. I couldn’t stop myself. And then16came: “You’re just like your mother,” my daughter screamed. “I hate you.” And then she17.
I finally heard the words I had always dreaded. But maybe that was because I18them. I had always worried the bond I shared with my daughter would19. later that evening, we picked my daughter up to a restaurant. We ate20. But when we separated, I hugged her. The next morning, she called telling she loved me. There wasn’t anything to be afraid of anymore. There was just a relationship we should work on with each other.

      in brief

I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such an attractive, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.
Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”.
But in memoir(回忆录) after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.
The way people stick to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, and self-improvement.
