The Billy Earl Dade Middle School ran into difficulties when it was preparing for its “Breakfast with Dads” event. Many students are from broken families. Hundreds of the 11to13yearold boys simply did not have a father to come with them to the breakfast. So only 150 boys decided to take part in the event. To solve the problem, school teachers tried to find 50 male volunteers(志愿者) to be with those students during the event. To their great surprise, nearly 600 men showed_up on the day of the event. There were so many people that the teachers had to move the event from the school dining hall to the gym. Students were happy and excited when they saw so many “dads” because they didnt have to attend the event alone(独自). During the event, the “sons” and the “dads” had breakfast and played games together. The “sons” told their “dads” interesting stories about what had happened at school and the “dads” listened to their “sons” carefully and gave advice when necessary. The “dads” also taught their “sons” how to tie a necktie. It is usually a real fathers job. Although the event lasted only about one hour, it had a great impact(影响) on both the grownups and the children. One volunteer wrote online that words could hardly describe this unusual experience. For the students, they felt inspired when they saw someone other than their teachers or family members care for them.26 .

But recently, the government asked people to stop doing this. They have also closed schools and museums, and advised people to stay at home. This is to stop people from catching an infectious (传染性的) disease, swine flu (猪流感). The disease has spread over the country in the past month. It has killed 159 people and caused 4,000 to become sick. What is swine flu? Swine flu is a disease that causes illness in pigs. It spreads to people in two ways. They catch the virus (病毒) after being with infected pigs, or they get it from an infected person.The disease spreads in the same way as human flu, through coughs and sneezes, or by touching a contaminated surface (被污染的表面) and then touching the nose or mouth. However, it cannot be spread by eating pork. People who have caught swine flu will have a fever, a cough, a sore throat and body aches. In most cases, the infection makes people unwell but their lives will not be in danger. How serious is the situation? Since swine flu started in Mexico about a month ago, it has spread to a few other countries. The US has reported 65 cases and Canada has reported 13 cases. Other countries are checking for possible cases. Last week, the World Health Organization said the flu was a “public health emergency (紧急情况)”. It says the disease could become a global outbreak. A few governments around the world have advised people in their countries not to visit Mexico. Some countries have begun checking air travelers for the disease. Russia, China and other countries have stopped buying pork from Mexico, though the flu cannot be caught by eating the meat. Health experts advise people to wash their hands frequently, to cover coughs and sneezes and to stay home if they feel ill.30 .

As Zhang led over 600 doctors and nurses fighting the disease, his strange way of walking shocked his colleagues. He finally admitted that he had fallen ill with ALS（渐冻症）since October 2018 after constant researches. ALS is a disease that gradually blocks the connection between brain and body. People with ALS become partially paralyzed（瘫痪的）leading to respiratory（呼吸系统的）failure. While working with handicapped（瘸的）legs, his wife was confirmed to get infected with the virus after working in another hospital. The bad news brought him to his knees, and he cried for the first time after the virus broke out. Zhang could only find time to visit his wife until three days after she was sent to hospital. Even then he could only stay there for 30 minutes. Fortunately, the good news came that his wife had recovered ten days after treatment.Zhang, 57, has offered medical services along with Chinese medical teams to many areas. Three days after the earthquake hit central Sichuan Province in 2008, Zhang entered the city with his medical team members to offer help.“Life is always short. I need to do more to finish the things that I might leave behind, then I would leave without too many regrets.” Zhang said. “We are at the center of a storm, so we need to give all we have to protect our city, and our Wuhan people.” Zhang said.34 .
