If you have, you know how bad it can make you feel.

Sometimes, it can be hard to tell if you have the flu or a cold, but with the flu, youll usually have a higher fever and feel much worse.The flu is a type of virus(病毒), which means medicine will only help the symptoms such as the cough and fever.

My 12-year-old daughter is in tears.I have so take a test tomorrow. I dont understand any of it, she cries out. After shouting and shutting her door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following dry I ask her how the test went and the just says OK,I got a nine.Wow. well done! I say, before she finishes with But I never get a ten!According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money. To test this, I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests. She looked at me as if I was thick. Well, if I dont get good grades, I wont be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff.I was quite surprised, because I dont consider myself a pushy parent. But James suggests and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright. He points to the Danish system（体制）of education as a better model. Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.For me, I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle, recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules, yet I have lived a happy life. What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations, or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop good personality.This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind. And he is looking for schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like Tongjon. Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools. It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school systems around the world.As the Russian poet Pushkin said, Inspiration(灵感）is needed in geometry(几何学）just as much as in poetry ,and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them .（1）What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter?A . She sets herself a goal too high to reach.B . She should be more polite to her parents.C . She is hard-working but not very bright.D . She takes her grades much too seriously.（2）What does the word obsessionin paragraph 3 mean?A . A plain and unavoidable factB . A satisfied and very proud state.C . A practical and widely-used wayD . A fixed and often unreasonable idea.（3）What can we infer from the passage?A . Social skills are as important as high grades.B . Interest in grades can shake self-confidenceC . The writer regrets not having studied hard at school.D . Danish educational system is for very smart students.（4）The writer wants to tell us that_.A . learning happily is the key to self-development.B . top marks may be helpful to increase ones interest.C . tests should be improved to give children inspiration.D . education should meet ones needs for word and money.15. （10分）根据短文内容，选择正确答案。ELast Sunday evening, my parents went out for a walk with my sister.
