Reading
Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You don’t want to work, and you stay in bed, feeling very sad.
What makes us ill? It is germs (细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope (显微镜). They are very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.
Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.
Germs aren’t found only in water. They are found in air and dust. If you cut your finger, if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut (割开处), some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body, and you would have pain everywhere.

Speaking
Do the task with your partner after reading the following information.
The purpose of giving gifts is to bring joy to both the giver and the receiver, and to make for a closer relationship. However, if gift-giving goes amiss (有错误的), there is a risk of making the receiver uncomfortable and creating an unpleasant situation for both sides. To avoid any ill-effects from your giftgiving practices, keep in mind these simple tips:
When you give:
1. Although it is always welcome, it is not necessary to bring flowers or a gift when you are invited to lunch or dinner, except on special occasions, such as a holiday. If you wish to bring something, it should be small and simple.
2. The usual European caveats (限制性条款) apply when giving flowers: no red roses, white lilies, or chrysanthemums (菊花).When you receive:
1. Show your appreciation when receiving a gift in person. Always put a smile on your face as a gift is being presented. Receive the gift with both hands. Say thank you along with a brief expression of appreciation.
2. Be sensitive to opening a gift in front of others. Americans typically open gifts as soon as it is received, even in front of an audience and other groups of people. Know that in many countries,such as China and Japan, it is not customary or appropriate to open gifts in front of other people.They are kept to be opened alone. When receiving house gifts, special guest or speaker gifts, be sensitive as to whether you will or will not be encouraged and expected to open it right away.
