23、It’s easy for people to  1  （catch）cold in winter or spring．But we can also do a lot   2  （stay）healthy．Here is some advice．

    Wash your hands often，and it will stop germs（细菌）  3  （pass）from one person to another．  4  （not use）your hands when coughing．Use a tissue（纸巾）、and then throw it away at once．Turn your head away from people near you when you   5  （cough）（咳嗽） ．Get some fresh air．Germs like staying in wet and warm room．So you’d better  6  （keep）your window open at night when you are sleeping，or you   7  （not have）enough fresh air．If flu（流感）is going around your house or school，you should  8  （try）to stay away from those who   9  （be） ill．Remember  10  （boil）your towel（毛巾）for about a minute to kill germs．

21、When you cut your skin，you blood（流血）．If a person loses a lot of blood，he will become ill and may die．Blood is very important．People have always known that．At one time in history, some people even drank blood to make them strong!

    When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it．They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it．This is called“blood transfusion”．The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person to the arm of the sick people．

    But there are two problems．First，it does not always work．Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion．Later, doctors found out that we do not have the same type of blood．There are four groups-O，A，B and AB．we all have blood of one of these groups．They also found they could give any kind of blood to people belonging to AB-groups．But they found that they must give A-·group blood to A-·group people and B·-group blood to B-group people．If I have O-group blood，then I could give blood to anyone else safely．

    There is another problem．To give blood of the right kind，doctors have to find a person of the right blood group．Often they can not find a person in time．If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it，they can always have the right kind of blood．At first they found they could keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days．They did this by making the blood very cold．Then they had ways to keep it longer．In the end they found a way of keeping blood for a long time．

    We call a place where we can keep money a“bank”．We call a place where we keep blood a“blood bank”．One day，when you grow up，you may give some of your blood to a “blood bank”．In this way you may stop someone from dying．Or perhaps one day you may become ill．You may need blood．Then the“blood bank”will give you the blood from another person．
