   Do you have a sore throat, a running nose and a headache? Do you keep coughing and sneezing? If you do, the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu---but which one? Although both colds and flu are caused by viruses, they are very different illnesses.

   Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a running nose and sneezing. Sometimes, they cause a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.

   Flu is a much more serious illness and is caused by different groups of viruses. People with flu usually get all the symptoms(症状) described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much worse aching. Fever is one of the characteristic symptoms of the flu for all ages. The symptoms also last much longer. Sometimes they don’t disappear for at least two weeks.

   Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly(年长的), who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people, can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advised to have a flu injection(预防针) before the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely(明显地)worth it.

   If you have a cold or flu, you must always deal with used tissues(手巾纸) carefully. Don’t leave dirty tissues on your desk or on the floor. Someone else has to pick these up and viruses could be passed on. And finally, remember to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze! You don’t want to see the small drops of liquids blown(喷) out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze, do you? Disgusting(令人作呕), eh? Now you can understand why it’s a good idea to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!

In paragraph 4, we learn that ________.

    A. flu injection can cause death            B. most old people die from flu

    C. flu can kill old people easily           D. flu is most common in summer

Dealing with used tissues properly(正确地) is important because ________.

    A. it helps keep your classroom tidy        B. it prevents the spread of colds and flu

        C. people hate picking up dirty tissues     D. picking up lots of tissues is hard work

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. Both colds and flu last the same time.   

B. Both colds and flu can be prevented by injection.   

C. Both colds and flu are caused by the same viruses.

D. Both colds and flu have an aching symptom.

Which is probably the best title for the passage?

    A. Colds and Flu               B. The Different Symptoms of a Cold and Flu

    C. Prevention Is Better Than Cure

D. Cover Your Nose and Mouth When Sneezing

American and British use different greetings. In the USA the commonest greeting is “Hi”. In Britain it is “Hello!” or “How are you?”. “Hi!” is creeping(不知不觉的)into British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, “Glad to know you.” The British say, “How do you do?” or “Pleased to meet you.” When Americans say “Good­bye”, they nearly always add, “Have a good day,” or “Have a good trip,” etc. to friends and strangers alike. Britons are already beginning to use “Have a good day”。

The British usually use “got”in the sense of “have”. The Americans hardly ever do.

Am.E: Do you have a car, room,etc.?Yes, I do.

Br.E: Have you got a car, room, etc.? Yes, I have.

Finally, there are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words, e.g.check(US)/cheque(UK); center(US)/centre(UK). Many American words ending in “or”, e.g. honor, vigor, labor are spelt in British English with an “our”, e.g. honour, vigour, labour. Many verbs in American English with “ize”or “izing” forms, e.g. organize, realizing are spelt in Br.E “ise”or “ising”,e.g.organise,realising.In American English, “practice”is used both for the verb and noun.In Br.E, the verb is spelt “practise”, and the noun “practice”. In the main, American English  avoids the doubling up of consonants(辅音字母)in nouns and verbs while British English does not.In American English, for example, one writes “travel, traveled, traveling, traveler,” while in British English, one writes  “travel, travelled, travelling, traveller”.

It was once predicted that British and American English would became separate languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links(连接)between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上的), and probably culturally(文化上的)too, they are closer together than ever.

1.The Americans hardly say________.

A.Good­bye.Have a good day!  B.Glad to know you!

C.Hi!     D.Have you got a car?

2.A British writes________.

A.cheque;center        B.honor;organise

C.traveled;practice     D.labour;traveller

3.What does the fifth paragraph talk about?

A.There are lots of differences in spelling between Am.E.and Br.E.

B.Why do the Americans and the British use different spellings?

C.There are few differences in spelling between Am.E.and Br.E.

D. The different usages of words in Am.E and Br.E

4.Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The two languages will become separate languages. 

B.American English will be used more and more. 

C.The two languages will be closer and closer.

D.British English will be used more and more.

C.Doyouhaveanysolutionsforteens’writingdifficulty?
D.What advice can you give a young person on how to be a filmmaker or a writer?

F. After all these years in the limelight, how do you deal with critics?
1._________________________________________
George Lucas’ answer 
Well, I would say you have to be persistent first of all, because it’s a very hard thing to get into, and it’s very hard to make it because the odds are against you. So you have to really love it; kids who get into it because they think they’re going to make a lot of money or be famous or tell a lot of people what to do all the time will never make it. But if you’re obsessed with film and you love to tell stories and you love writing in that medium, then that will give you the strength to be persistent and make it happen.
2. _________________________________________
Tom Fontana’s answer
I’ve never had writer’s block. I’m trying my luck because I’m hoping never to have it. As far as suggestions, I don’t know. If you write at the same time every day, your brain and your heart will be there, ready to go to work. It’s like how you eat at the same time over the course of the day – you should be available to write at the same time every day. If you have nothing to write, you should still write. Whether you write your name 100 times or describe a banana. If you write for five minutes, and you just get the words down, at least you’re doing something.
3. _________________________________________
Drew Barrymore’s answer
I would just say to persevere and find people who are safe and honest and who will give you tough love and guide you through, because you really can’t do everything on your own. You need love and support around you, and to believe that you will get past these hard times. You will overcome. Things will get better. Life is a series of ups and downs, and the good news is that when you’re in a low, it will always go up again. Life is not a free journey. There are a lot of lessons you have to learn along the way, but just appreciate the gift of it and find people who will be honest with you.
4. _________________________________________
Richard Seltzer’s answer 
Become a doctor first because a writer doesn’t make a living – you have to support yourself and your family. But writing is a very individual thing. It’s like your fingerprint – on one else has exactly your style. A lucky writer will discover his or her style but an unlucky one will always be trying to force himself into an unnatural writing style. It’s uncomfortable, and for them, writing is painful. I’ve never suffered. My life has been a series of small, everyday events. If I feel I have rendered on little bit of life in the most compelling language I can find and am satisfied with it, that is an event I cherish.
5. _________________________________________
Ms. Jamie Hobart’s answer 
It is a long road after medical school and internship but my job is different every day and very interesting. Not everyone can do this job. Autopsies are very different from any other medical job. Here we don't really let anyone under 18 watch or participate in an autopsy. So take a basic anatomy course in college and if you don't mind the cadavers, then you might follow it further. You have to have a very strong stomach and a strong interest in the science. If you decide you really like forensics (the work of scientists who examine evidence in order to help the police solve crimes) but don’t want to do autopsies there are lots of other things in the forensic field like the DNA labor various evidence – related specialties.
