        Everyone is talking about bird flu (禽流感). Yes it is a very dangerous disease that could make people very
    sick. It will be a few months before we have good medicine for bird flu.
        But that doesn't mean you can't do anything to prevent it now.
        So far, all the people who have caught bird flu have been those who touched sick chickens or their droppings
    (粪便). So it is a good idea for people to stay away from live chickens. "People used to (过去常常) go to the
    markets to buy live chickens to eat, but now they have to change that habit," said Peter, an expert (专家) from
    World Health Organization. But if you do touch a sick bird, remember to wash your hands carefully with soap
    at once. Experts (专家) also say having good habits and a healthy body will help keep you safe from bird flu.
    For example, don't buy or eat birds that have not been checked. Don't eat anything that has touched raw meat.
    Also don't forget to open your windows often and do the sports. Getting enough sleep is also very useful for
    fighting illness .If you feel sick, see a doctor right away (马上). At present (目前), no one in Shanghai has bird
    flu. But WHO says children under 12 years old could easily get sick with bird flu.
        Try to stay away from people who have the flu, and always cover your mouth and nose when you cough or
    sneeze.

    3. Which habit is NOT safe for fighting the illness?
    [     ]
    A. To go to the market to buy live chicken to eat.
    B. To wash your hands carefully with soap if you do touch a sick bird.
    C. To do some sports regularly and keep healthy.
