and cold. here are some suggestions on how to keep away from flu.1. wash your hands often. the flu, as with colds, is spread from person to person. the way these *germs are spread is not by breathing them, but by picking them up on our hands and spreading them to our face where they can get into your body. so please remember: wash your hands often and dont touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.2. get enough sleep. enough sleep is important to the health. enough sleep will make you energetic and active again. more important than how long you sleep is when you sleep. studies show that the best spring or summer bedtime is between 9 and 10 p.m. and the best autumn or winter bedtime is between 8 and 9 p.m. 3. drink water every day. water helps change food into energy. water also helps clean out your body. after a nights sleep, your body really needs water. so its important to drink some water after you get up every morning. and drinking enough water could keep your balance of salt. but dont drink water much more than you would, or should. 4. eat a healthy, balanced diet. scientists have found out that what people eat affects their health. they advise people to keep a balanced diet and that is to say, you should eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat such as beef and pork. you should also eat less food that is high in fat, like french fries or cookies.5. do more exercise. it is surely necessary to take some exercise every day. studies show that getting lots of exercise makes the heart healthier. thats why more and more people are becoming active in all kinds of sports and exercise. through sports and exercise, people become healthier and stronger. so in the morning, you can get up early, go outdoors, breathe the fresh air, and do exercises. when we exercise, our body produces special chemicals that give us energy, and exercise also helps improve our bodys *ability to fight disease. （ ）53. we may get flu by _.a. eating the flu germs b. drinking the flu germsc. breathing the flu germsd. picking flu germs up on our hands（ ）54. to stop catching the flu and cold, we should eat _.a. more fruits and cookiesb. more vegetables and beefc. less fruits and french friesd. less french fries and pork（ ）55. our bodys ability to fight disease could be improved by _.a. doing exercisesb. washing facec. going outdoorsd. eating much food（ ）56. if you want to keep away from the flu, its very important to _.a. wash your hands and touch your eyes, nose or mouthb. drink much more water than you would or shouldc. eat more fruits, vegetables and salt every dayd. get up early, go outdoors, breathe fresh air and do exercisedof course, the main difference on the chinese dinner table is *chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but thats only *superficial. besides, in some nice restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. the real difference is that in the west, you have your own plate of food, while in china the dishes are placed on the table and everyone *shares. if you are being invited to a formal dinner and particularly if the *host thinks youre in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different kinds of dishes.in china, the meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main *courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. soup then will be served (unless in guangdong restaurants) to be followed by *staple foods that are from rice, noodles to dumplings. if you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the chinese choose to have staple food at last or have none of them at all.perhaps one of the things that surprise a western visitor most is that some of the chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. in formal dinners, there are always public chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. this is a sign of friendship and politeness. it is always polite to eat the food. but if you do not eat it, it is ok to leave the food in the plate.people in china *tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is eaten up. when you have had enough, just say so. or you will always overeat!（ ）57. the real difference between chinese manners and western manners is that _. a. you have your own plate of food in china b. you cant ask for knife and fork in china c. people use chopsticks instead of knife and fork in chinad. the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares in china（ ）58. in china, _ comes first in a formal dinner.a. hot meatb. staple foodc. vegetable dishesd. four cold dishes（ ）59. the thing that surprises western visitor most on a dinner is that _.a. the
