     The influenza virus(流感病毒) or the flu is spread from person to person in the air when an infected
person coughs or sneezes.There are 3 types of the flu:
     -Type A viruses can infect people,birds,pigs,horses,seals,whales,and other animals,such as avian flu
or bird flu.
     -Type B viruses infect people and result in smaller outbreaks(爆发). People infected with type B
viruses are often hospitalized with higher death rates.
     -Type C viruses cause mild illness in humans without the onset of an epidemic (流行病).
Most people are familiar with the symptoms of the flu,but they can be mistaken for a severe cold.The flu
infection is far more serious and can cause severe health complications (并发症). There are many viral
infections that can cause flulike symptoms.It is better to visit your doctor so other possibilities can be
ruled out before your obtaining treatment.
     The flu virus attacks the body's cells and changes into different forms,which is why people who have
received the flu shot (流感疫苗接种) may still get ill with the flu.The influenza virus is transmitted_
through direct contact with infected persons such as by inhaling (吸入)droplets when they have coughed
or sneezed.It can also be spread by handling objects such as doorknobs and telephone receivers that an
infected person has been in contact with.
     If you have the flu,get plenty of bed rest and drink lots of fluids.Most people recover from the flu in
one to two weeks.Doctors often recommend flu vaccines( 疫苗) for highrisk groups such as young
children,the elderly,those with chronic(慢性的) diseases,weak immune systems,or professionals working with highrisk groups.

阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

Migrating Birds May Spread Flu

　　Every year, residents of Kunming, Yunnan Province welcome thousands of black headed gulls(红嘴鸥)with food and happy laughter．The lovely white birds fly from Siberia to stay in the Dianchi area of the city in winter．But this year the white angels are no longer lovely in locals eyes, due to their fear of bird flu．

　　Although scientists have not found the deadly virus in the birds, few people will dare to risk their lives to feed the birds this year．

　　Across the world, wild migratory birds(候鸟)seem to have become public enemy number one．Since the deadly H5N1 bird flu virus was discovered not only in Asia but also as far away as Europe and Africa, migratory birds were regarded as the carriers．Geographically speaking(从地理上说), the spread of bird flu appears to be following the migratory routes of wild birds．Bird flu is a common disease among wild migratory birds．But the virus may change itself when transferred to fowls and human．

　　Since the World Health Organization warned last month that migratory birds could carry the deadly H5N1 virus that causes bird flu, many countries, like China, have started tracking migratory birds and cleaning up poultry markets(家禽市场)．China also cancelled(取消)all pigeon races last week．

　　Scientists said that the migratory routes of wild birds are often far away from big cities．The risk of transferring(传染)the virus directly from wild birds to humans is very low．Scientists also warned that wild birds are shy creatures．They see you coming and fly away at once．But if a wild bird becomes easy to approach, people should be careful that it may be sick．

　　There are already three areas hit by bird flu in the provinces of Hunan and Anhui and the northern region of Inner Mongolia, areas all on the migratory routes of wild birds．In the past two weeks China has reported three outbreaks of the H5N1 virus that killed 3800 chickens, ducks and geese(鹅)．

wild migratory birds are easy to have the same Bird Flu as humans

C．

Bird Flu is likely to be found along the migratory route of wild birds

(3)

The underlined word “approach” most probably means ________．
