Question

Do you have a pet in your family? Yes? It’s easy for you to be ill. Dogs, cats, fish, chicken and many other animals sometimes are dangerous to people. For many healthy people, a flu(流感) is nothing. But for other people, like children and the old, it may be serious. Now, a flu called H7N9 arrives in China. This new and dangerous flu is from birds. First, it goes from bird to bird, but now, it goes from birds to people. Because it is new, we don’t know how to fight it. Some people in Beijing, Shanghai and other cities are ill because of this bird flu. Some of them contact chicken before they get ill. That makes Chinese people afraid and some people don’t eat chicken now. What can we do? First, don’t be afraid. Doing exercise every day is a good way to make you healthy. Then, it’s also good for you to wash your hands under running water after you play with your pets. Children under 5 years old can’t play with baby chickens, baby ducks or baby birds. This is very important. When you don’t feel well, remember to tell your parents and go to the hospital quickly.
