Did you get a flu shot this year?For the first time,the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US is recommending that all children aged from 6 months to 18 years receive the flu vaccine.
Vaccines battle diseases caused by bacteria and viruses.A weakened form of the germ (病菌) is introduced into the body.The body makes special substances called antibodies (抗体) to fight the germs.If the actual germs were to attack,the antibodies would fight.Because there are many kinds of flu viruses,scientists must create a new vaccine formula (处方) each year.Researchers must make a prediction.
It is like forecasting the weather.Sometimes they are right on,and sometimes they are off.But even when the vaccine does not closely match circulating flu types,it can make the illness less serious.
“The flu vaccine is not as effective as the polio (小儿麻痹症) vaccine or the measles vaccine,” says Dr.William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.“It’s not a great vaccine,but it is in fact quite a good vaccine.”
But a flu vaccine doesn’t work for everyone.There are certain people who should be careful about taking it,because the vaccine is produced in eggs.Those who are allergic (过敏的) to eggs should not take it.If you have a fever,you should wait until you recover.
Some people are afraid that they might get the flu from the flu shot.Scientists say that it is not possible,because the viruses in the flu shot are inactivated.But some minor side effects such as low?grade fever and body ache could occur.If they do,they begin soon after the shot and usually last only one to two days.
Did you know?Smallpox was the first disease people tried to prevent by putting a virus into a healthy person.In 1796,English scientist Edward Jenner placed some infected material under a boy’s skin.
1.The underlined word “vaccine” (in Para.1) refers to________.
A.virus used for fighting against disease
B.antibody to fight the germs
C.formula to fight against disease
D.germ to be injected into the body
2.By saying “It’s not a great vaccine,but it is in fact quite a good vaccine.” (in Para.4),William Schaffner means the flu vaccine________.
A.is as effective as the polio and the measles vaccines
B.is worse,compared with the polio and the measles vaccines
C.does help to make illness less serious
D.is quite good because it works for everyone
3.We can infer from the passage that________.
A.those who are not allergic to eggs can take the flu vaccine
B.not all the flu vaccines are effective for everyone
C.you should go to a doctor if you have a fever after taking the flu vaccine
D.it is possible that some people might get? the flu from the flu shot
4.When people take the flu vaccine,________.
A.they’ll be allergic to eggs

What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming. and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.
