     Don't talk to me; I'm busy with my iPhone
     Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference: in London, people do
not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. That's not rudeness-people are just too busy to bother looking.
     Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection,
nor are they reading a book. New technology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form
of book on the London underground is an e-book.
     Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters (乘车上下班的人). Since the launch of the
iPhone in 2007, over 40,000-yes, that's 40,000-"apps" (programs downloaded for the iPhone) have
been designed.
     Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers. One "app", called iShoot, is a game
that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to
the exit of their destination. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You
can then write in the " steam" on your phone screen.
     For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be another choice. It's not just
teenagers who "plug in" to their music-iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
     And if games,  e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would
prefer a film. The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite
TV show or film on the way to work. With all this entertainments, it's amazing that people still remember
to get off the train.

A. delighted

A. London commuters are unfriendly to strangers
B. Apple has earned a lo of money from selling 40,000 iPhones

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

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.
