Below is some advice on how to prevent colds and flu.

8 Ways to Avoid Colds and Flu

1. Wash your hands and wash them often

The US Naval Health Research Center conducted a study of 40,000 volunteers who were ordered to wash their hands five times a day. The volunteers cut their incidence of flu by 45 percent.

2. Wash your hands twice every time you wash them

Researchers at Columbia University found one hand washing had little effect, even when using antibacterial soap. So wash twice if you’re serious about preventing colds.

3. Change your toothbrush every three months

You think your toothbrush gets your teeth clean — and it does. But once you’ve finished brushing, it can be a breeding ground for germs. Most dentists recommend you change your brush every two or three months. It’s also a good idea to replace it after you’ve had a cold or flu.

4. Sneeze and cough into your arm or tissue (纸巾)

Whoever taught us to cover our mouths when we cough or sneeze got it wrong. That just puts the germs right on our hands, where you can spread them to objects — and other people. Instead, put your arm over your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough if a tissue isn’t handy. It’s pretty rare that you shake someone’s arm, after all.

5. Stop blaming yourself when things go wrong

Believe it or not, blaming yourself makes you more likely to catch a cold! Researchers found that even those who had control over their work were more likely to begin sneezing if they lacked confidence or tended to blame themselves when things went wrong. Such attitudes make people more stressed on the job, and stress, as you know, can challenge your immune system.

6. Once a day, sit in a quiet, dim room, close your eyes, and focus on one word

Meditate (冥想). It is a proven way to reduce stress. Studies have shown that stress weakens your immune system. In fact, people with high stress levels have up to twice the number of colds as non-stressed people.

7. Get moving

Ride a bike, join a dance class, or go for a walk. A study found that older women who did 45 minutes of gentle exercise, five times a week for a year, were up to three times less likely to get a cold than women who took little exercise. The researchers found that the exercisers’ immune system was strongest in the last three months of the study.

8. Leave the windows in your house open a crack

You don’t have to keep all of them open, but one or two in the rooms in which you spend the most time. This is particularly important if you live in a newer home, where fresh circulating air has been the victim of energy efficiency. A bit of fresh air will do wonders for chasing out germs.

To prevent yourself from getting colds, you should wash your hands____.

  A. twice every hour                                        B. twice every time

  C. five times every hour                                  D. five times every time

When you cough or sneeze, you should ____.

A. put your hands over your mouth

B. avoid shaking hands with other people

C. cover your mouth with your arm or a tissue

D. keep away from other people

Your immune system will be weakened if ____.

  A. your stress level is high

  B. your room is not bright

C. you have control over your work

  D. you do not exercise for 45 minutes every day

If you live in a new house, it is particularly important to ____.

  A. leave all the windows open a crack

  B. leave only one or two windows open to save energy

  C. keep one or two windows open in the rooms where you spend the most time

  D. keep all the doors and windows open to let in more fresh air when you are at home

  While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can't be avoided.The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.

  Try physical activity

  When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity.Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you to relax.Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.

  Share your stress

  It helps to talk to someone about your anxieties and worries.Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher or even your leader can help you a better view of what's troubling you.If you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist or a doctor.Knowing when to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later.

  Take care of yourself

  You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest.If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you're not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations.If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.Make time for yourself.

  Make a list of the things you need to do

  Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that“there's so much to do, and not enough time”.Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything.Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed.Set out to do the most important tasks first.

  Go ahead and cry

  A good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety.It might even help you avoid a headache or other physical effect of anxiety and stress.

The Heritage (遗产) at Risk programme aims to understand the overall state of England’s heritage by assessing each of its different elements. In particular we need to identify those that are facing the greatest pressures and threats. We will use this information to work out how to reduce those pressures and in turn to calculate the resources needed to make our unique heritage of historic places safe.

You can search for sites on the register by entering a site name, location, street or educational block in the box below.

Conservation areas

A nationwide survey of conservation areas indicates that approximately 1 in 7 is at risk from neglect (疏忽), decay (腐烂) or unpitying change.

Show your support for our campaign to save conservation areas from unavoidable decline and receive a free campaign pack by registering. There are some 9,300 conservation areas across England, meaning that we all live in or near to one or visit one regularly for work, shopping or rest. They are the element of England’s heritage that is all around us and which touches all of our lives. But until now no one had a clear idea what condition they were in.

Buildings

The task of assessing condition and risk started with buildings. Following a survey of all grades of listed buildings in London, English Heritage published in 1991 the first annual register of those at risk there.

The success of this London work led to the national buildings at risk strategy in 1998, and publication of a register of buildings at risk conversing all grade I and II listed buildings and structural scheduled monuments in the country, at risk and vulnerable (易受伤害的).

Parks & Gardens

    There are 1,600 entries on the current English Heritage Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest. Sites at risk have typically been diversely (不利地) affected by development and neglect; often they have been changed by development and are faced with major change. Sometimes development beyond the boundary of a registered landscape can be just as harmful as construction within its boundaries; this is especially true that development would influence designed views that extend beyond the chosen site itself.

72.The purpose of using the information to work out how to reduce pressures is to_______.

       A.assess each of English heritage’s different elements

       B.identify those that are facing the greatest pressures and threats

       C.calculate the resources needed to make heritage of historic sites safe

       D.help you to search for sites at risk on the register

73.It can be inferred from “Conservation areas” that conservation areas across England_______.

       A.are almost all at risk from neglect, decay or unpitying change

       B.can be entered with a campaign pack free of charge

       C.are in very close connection with our lives

       D.are in whatever condition people are sure about

74.The text mainly talks about_______.

       A.English heritage at risk  

       B.historic places of interest

       C.English heritage register 

       D.location of English heritage

75.According to the last paragraph, the bad effect development has on the sites at risk is that_______.

       A.it has changed the sites at risk with no intention

       B.it can sometimes cause harm beyond the registered boundaries

       C.it would affect the designed views instead of the chosen sites

       D.it has neglected the local people of special historic interest
