People often fall ill because of me. 36 , they can hardly blame me; it is
largely their own 37 .A
tired person may get 38 , especially when he goes to crowded places
with polluted air. A sudden change in 39 is another factor. In hot summer,
people turn on the air-conditioner upon returning home. They will catch a cold
easily.
My latest victim is an energetic student.
After school, he played football hard for two hours. Though 40 , he still went to the cinema .Then he
got back home and took a cold shower immediately.
I seized this golden chance to 41 him
.He reacted ,trying to 42 me
, but I was already 43 deep
in his throat. He kept sneezing(打喷嚏) and his nose was running. 44 he put on some warm clothes, it didn’t
work, for there were too many of us. Besides, his sore throat kept 45 him, and he developed a cough to force me
and my family out, but 46.
The next day he couldn’t go to 47 . He had lost his appetite and was not as
48 as before. His mother made him orange
juice every few hours for more vitamin C, which would help his 49
For two days he was 50 by his
mother. As he rested more, his defense strengthened and I began to feel the 51
. I knew I had to 52 him before long. But I am not the one
who gives up easily, and I made every effort to fight back. 53 , it was my turn to feel 54 now, for his defense system was starting
an all-out attack against me. I became 55 and finally my time was over.
