Friday's mudslide (泥石流). The team of dogs arrived in the Philippines from Spain, and this Tuesday they
were just beginning their work. Search officials told CNN they hoped the recent rain would wash away the
smell of rescue teams so the dogs could do their job more accurately. The dogs were brought in after sound
equipment found sounds coming from deep inside the ruins, at a place where a school stood before the
mudslide covered it. The sounds could mean people are still alive under all the mud or it could just be the earth
resettling.
On Monday, rescue workers worked at the school site until three in the morning, trying to locate survivors,
and they will begin digging again as soon as the dogs think they find someone. Human teams from the US,
Malaysia, and Australia are all trying to help, too. But so far they have yet to locate any survivors. Rescue
workers told CNN that an earlier report that 50 survivors had been found was false.
How did all that mud bury the village in the first place? On Friday, 2,400-foot Mt Kanabag turned into a
mudslide after two weeks of constant rain weakened it. The mountain crumbled and the mud fell onto the
village Guinsaugon, burying the 1,800 people who lived there. Out of the 300 houses in the village, only 3
were not covered by the mud. The village is on a southern Philippine Island called Levte. Rescue efforts have
been difficult because the village takes six hours to reach from the nearest airport. Hopefully, the dogs can
help their human friends find survivors.
B. the dogs can follow the smell of rescue teams
C. the dogs can't smell the rescue teams
D. the dogs can tell the differences between people and rescue teams
B. to introduce the instruments to save victims in a disaster
C. to tell readers that dogs can smell out victims buried in the ruins
D. to show how to train dogs to save victims in a mudslide
B. Only a few.
C. 1,800.
D. None.
B. so many people were buried
C. it was difficult to reach the village
D. these is little chance to save the survivors

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!
