But be carefulthe warm weather is also a hotbed for viruses(病毒) and disease.This March, the influenza(流行性感冒) A(H7N9) virus hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was reported that by April 11 at least 35 people had been infected (被感染的) with the H7N9 virus, and nine of them had died.The influenza A (H7N9) virus is one type of influenza A H7 viruses. Influenza A H7 viruses normally spread among birds.This is the first time human infections with H7N9 viruses have been reported in China. Earlier reports were about H5N1 and H1N1.All the three viruses are influenza A viruses but they are not the same. H7N9 and H5N1 are animal influenza viruses that could infect people. However, H1N1 viruses can be divided into two groups. One group can normally infect people and the other normally infects animals. Also, H1N1 can spread from human to human, but H7N9 probably cant, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).Most people infected with H7N9 looked like they had the common flu. Some people had bad pneumonia(肺炎). They suffered from a fever, a cough and shortness of breath.But dont be afraid it is not easy to be infected with the virus. One of the possible reasons is close contact with sick poultry (家禽) waste. People may also be infected through breath, according to National Health and Family Planning Commission.Here are some tips from the WHO that can protect you from being infected.Wash your hands with soap and running water before you eat, after you use the toilet, and after touching animals or animal waste.When coughing or sneezing cover your mouth and nose with a mask(口罩)，tissue(纸巾) or a sleeve.Get a good rest and do exercises, which will help make your body strong enough to stand up to the virus. （1）Whats the name of the influenza virus that hit Shanghai, Anhui, Jiangsu and Zhejiang this March?A .

You feel the person is not completely into a conversation and with more attention. Phubbing is defined as the act of snubbing someone in a social setting by looking at the phone instead of paying attention. This is what is called Phubbing.How Phubbing influences people I have been through this, and it went so deep that I started disconnecting from everyone around me. They felt that I had been ignormg them. Family and friends need their time with you, yet I was busy exploring social media either for work or fun.Physical & Mental HealthIts resulting in severe neck pains. Keeping your head lowered and looking at the phone all the time, does hurt in the long term. You might not even see it coming. Also, you have concentrated on the phone so much that you get totally cut off from the real world.How to stop PhubbingIt was not really easy to concentrate on something else or jump into a conversation right after I had kept my phone down. Finally, I decided to change and lay down some rules, and here I am sharing with you.No Phone Zone at HomeWhile taking it completely off wasnt a solution. So we came up with no phone zones. I kept down my phone for next 3 hours after I reached home. The phone was kept in another room and was only to be attended when an important call came inNo Phone Zone with FriendsThis was even tougher, and the only way out was to tum down the ringer completely. Keep the phone in the pocket, and if you feel calls are very important, you can always connect with a Bluetooth earphone, and attend them. I always made sure that when friends meet, everyone kept our phones away. It wasnt really easy I had to fight my sense of expectation of getting a message.Now, I have realized that things were improving after I started following the rules. My concentration was better, and I was communicating well with my family and friends. I was able to discuss topics which I always missed during Phubbing.（1）Which of the following do you think is the most suitable subtitle in the ? A . Personal relationsB . Family and friendsC .
