                            Out of the cold 

   There are no known cures for colds and the flu,so cold and flu prevention should be your goal. The most effective way of preventing the flu is to get the flu shot. 36 But there are other techniques you can employ as well. Here are some tips you can use to help prevent colds and the flu naturally:

   Put a box of tissues(紙巾) wherever people sit. Place tissue boxes strategically around the house,at work,and in the car. 37 Then anyone who has to cough or blow their nose can use them in a way least likely to spread bacteria.

   Leave the windows open in winter. Not all of them,but one or two in the rooms in which you spend the most time. 38 

   Add green tea and an apple to your morning break. Recent research by food nutritionists at Auckland University in New Zealand,found that eating food rich in (類黃酮) could lower the risk of adults catching a cold by as much as 33%.39 Eating five servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit each day in a variety of colours is a great way to make sure you get enough flavonoids in your diet.

   40 The knuckle(指關(guān)節(jié)) is less likely to have viruses than your fingertip. The eye provides a perfect entry point for bacteria,and the average person rubs his eyes or nose or scratches his face 20-50 times a day,making fingers particularly good at spreading bacteria.

   A. It works better than anything else.

   B. You need to make them widely available.

   C. Use your knuckle to gently rub your eyes.

   D. Fresh air does wonders for chasing out bacteria.

   E. Never come into direct contact with viruses and bacteria.

   F. They are found in green tea,apples,blueberries,red wine and cocoa.

   G. When you feel a cough coming,use a tissue,then throw it away immediately.
