Now that America has declared a state of swine flu (猪流感) public health emergency, you may be asking yourself ― what am I supposed to do? Here is a list of practical steps you can take to prepare and protect yourself and your family.
1) Know the symptoms ― Here are some of the symptoms that sound like swine flu ― fevers over 100 degrees (37.8℃), body aches, cough, runny nose, and sometimes, nausea (恶心) and diarrhea (腹泻). It’s also useful to know if you might have had an exposure (暴露) either by recent travel to Mexico, or to the areas of known cases so far in America ― specific areas of California, Texas, New York, Ohio and Kansas. Or you may have been exposed to a sick person who came from those areas.
2) Don’t panic ― If you have symptoms that sound like swine flu, do not rush to hospitals. Not only is this difficult for the healthcare system, it can also be potentially dangerous for everyone. Call your doctor or local public health clinic before going in.
3) Contain the illness ― Hand-washing works. Wash, wash and wash. Invest in some hand sanitizer (消毒洗手液) for the whole family. Avoid hugs and kisses of well-wishers, and do not share telephone handsets or computers. Be especially careful to always cough into the elbow of your arm (yes! the elbow, not your hand!). Cover your cough and sneeze to protect others.
4) What about a mask? ― The data shows that masks do work ― as long as there is a tight seal (密封) about the mouth and nose.
5) Eat the pork (if you want) ― Swine flu gets its name because pigs can get the infection and spread it to each other ― as well as to humans. This latest virus contains pieces that indicate it evolved (演变) from swine flu virus, and can now spread from person to person. Swine flu is not spread by properly prepared and cooked pork products. So if you want to eat pork, you can.
6) Getting sick? Stay home! ― In our go-go-go culture and these severe economic times, it can be very hard to call a boss and cancel a day’s work. Now, however, if you or your loved ones are feeling like there’s a flu coming on, stay home.
7) Stockpile? ― Right now, it’s too early for any of us to become a Swine Flu Shut-In, but the public health department recommends that each home have two weeks of supplies, in case we must stay home ― either for illness or to help contain transmission. That means two weeks of food for everyone in your home, two weeks of all medications, and, if you’re like most people, two weeks of books and DVDs.

62. Bill: I love sea, so do my wife and my son. I’d like to stay in a place for some time with my family to experience the sea thoroughly—to see it with my own eyes; to smell it with my own nose; and to feel it with my own body.
63. David: I want to get some information that will be of some help to see the damage pollution has done to corals so that we may have some idea to prevent them from disappearing completely.
64. Jack: I love nature, but I don’t like travel long way. I don’t want to go to other countries. I plan to go to some place in my own country to see glaciers before it’s too late.
65. Tom: I love nature and I also love travel. I plan to go to an area where climate-related disasters may happen so that I will collect some information for my research work although it may be a little dangerous.
Globe warming is a serious problem. Climate change is rapidly altering the landscape of our planet. We may be one of the last generations to see some of the Earth's most cherished places. Here's our list of 6 places to see before they completely disappear.
| A. Glacier National Park Just slightly more than 100 years ago, there were as many as 150 glaciers dotted throughout Glacier National Park in the north of the U S A. By 2005, only 27 remained, and those are expected to disappear completely by 2030, if not earlier. Many of the plant and animal species that call the park home require cold water, meaning the ecosystem of the park stands to change dramatically when the glaciers are gone. | B. Great Barrier Reef It's so large that it can be seen from space, but the Great Barrier Reef is disappearing at an increased rate because of climate change. Rising ocean temperatures, water pollution, ocean acidification and cyclones continually hit the reef and have caused mass coral bleaching. What took 8,000 years for nature to build could disappear within our lifetimes. |
| C. Maldives Maldives is the lowest-lying country in the world, with a maximum natural ground level of 2.3 meters (7 feet, 7 inches), and an average of only 1.5 meters (4 feet, 11 inches) above sea level. If sea levels rise too much, the country would earn an unwanted superlative: the first nation to be swallowed by the ocean because of global warming. | D. Patagonia A land of untouched beauty, South America's Patagonia stands to be dramatically altered by climate change. Many of its glaciers are steadfastly retreating due to rising temperatures and declining rainfall. While this land doesn't stand to disappear entirely, its landscape may soon be altered beyond recognition if global warming persists. |
| E. Bangladesh Set in the low-lying Ganges–Brahmaputra River Delta, Bangladesh sits in a perfect storm of climactic conditions. About 50 percent of the area would be flooded if the sea level were to rise by 1 meter. Bangladesh also lies at the heart of the monsoon belt. Natural calamities, such as floods, tropical cyclones, tornadoes and tidal bores(怒潮)occur here almost every year — with tragic results. | F. South Australia Much like the Sahara in Africa, desertification also threatens South Australia. Across the region, fresh water supplies are rapidly drying up. Meanwhile, the parched（焦干的 ）landscape increases the occurrence of wildfires, threatening agriculture, wildlife and hundreds of Australian homes. |
Rick, Bill, David, Jack 和 Tom是美国一家研究所的员工，他们正在寻找度假的地方，要亲眼看看全球气候变暖对地球的影响。下面（A, B, C, D, E和F）是Mother Nature Network提供的在不久的将来因全球气候变暖可能要消失的6个地方的有关信息，请你从中选出最适合他们去的地方。选项中有一项是多余选项。
