A man walked into a doctor’s examing room. “Put out your tongue,” the doctor said.

 “OK. You can put your tongue back now,” the doctor said. “It’s clear what’s wrong with you. You need more exercise.” “But, doctor,” the man said. “I don’t think...”

“Don’t tell me what you think,” the doctor said,“ I am the doctor, not you. I know what you need. I see hundreds of people like you. None of them get any exercise. They sit in offices all day and in front of the television in the evening. What you need is to walk quickly for at least 20 minutes a day.”

“Doctor, you don’t understand,” the patient said, “I...”

“I don’t want to hear any excuses,” the doctor said, “You must find time for exercise. If you don’t, you will get fat and have health problems when you are older.”

“But I walk every day,” the patient said.

“Oh, yes, and I know what kind of walking that is. You walk a few meters to the train station from your house, a few more meters from the station to your office, and a few more meters from your office to a restaurant for lunch and back.”

“Please listen to me, doctor!” the patient shouted, getting angry.

“I'm a mailman,” the patient went on, “and I walk for seven hours every day.”

For a moment the doctor was silent, then he said quietly, “Put your tongue out again, will you?”

RECENTLY hand-foot-mouth disease has spread across China. In the past three months, there have been about 41,846 cases （病例） in 30 provinces and regions. The number is increasing. Eighteen Chinese children have died of the disease so far this year.

    What causes the disease and why is it dangerous?

Hand-foot-mouth disease is a common childhood illness. It mainly affects children under the age of 10. It gets its name from the rash （疹子） that develops on the hands and feet. It can also cause blisters （水泡） in your mouth.

A child who has the disease will usually have a fever, a runny nose and sore throat. He or she doesn’t want to eat or drink because of pain in the mouth.

Hand-foot-mouth disease is mostly not serious. The fever and rash clear within a few days. But in some cases, the virus （病毒） affects the heart, lungs or brain. This puts the child’s life in danger.

A virus causes hand-foot-mouth disease. The disease spreads easily where a lot of young children are together, such as in a child-care center. Sometimes it can also affect teenagers and adults.

Science fiction is a popular kind of writing, and many people think of Jules Verne as the father of science fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer（律师）, but when he was about twenty years old, Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth （1864） and From the Earth to the Moon （1865）.

In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions. Jules Verne wrote about scientific subjects in his stories and, as a result, they were very popular.
