29、Mexican people have a tradition of greeting each other with handshakes and kisses on the cheek. But recently, government officials asked people to stop doing this. They have also closed schools and museums and advised people to stay at home.

Swine flu is a disease that causes respiratory illness in pigs．It spreads to people in two ways．They catch the virus（病毒）after being with infected pigs，or they get it from an infected person．
People who have caught swine flue will have fever，a cough a sore throat and body aches．In most cases，the infection make people unwell but their lives will not be in danger．
Since swine flu started in Mexico about a month ago，it has spread to a few other countries．The US has reported 65 cases and Canada has reported 13 cases．Other countries arc checking for possible cases．
Last week，the World Health Organization said the flu is a“public health emergency（紧急情况）”．
A few governments around the world have advised their people not to visit Mexico．Some countries have begun checking air travelers for the disease and have set up quarantines（隔离）for people who might be infected．Russia, China and other countries have stopped buying pork from Mexico，though the flu can not be caught by eating the meat．

28、Everyone dreams of changing the world．But can teenagers really make a difference? And how can they go about it?
Michael Norton’s book 365 Ways to Change the World is a good starting point．The book gives an idea or a task for every single day of the year．The tasks include volunteering at a local homeless shelter（避难所）and hugging（拥抱）a tree．
The book says that one simple act, no matter how small，call help someone in need．It may even influence other teens to do something.
Nathan Anthony, a junior student at Enoch’s High School in Modesto，California, US agrees．”It is impossible to get anything in life without giving something to someone or making an effort at school or work, ”Anthony said．
Another Enoch’s junior, Arianne Mote，has the same opinion．”Giving is our way of repaying those who help us，”she said。”Whether it is a helping hand or a donation（捐赠）：we should help others to improve their lives．”
But how often do teens see peers helping a stranger or doing something？ According to Anthony, not a lot. Mote and he both believe this needs lo change.
"Humor is also a great tool," Anthony' said. "It can help us a lot when we face some embarrassment （尴尬） and it is a good way to solve some problems."
So whether you're helping to find a cure for cancer or simply smiling at a stranger, do something every day to help change the world for the better.
