The 2009 outbreak of influenza H1N1 virus（甲型流感病毒）is also called“swine flu（豬流感）”. It is a new flu virus that was first found in April, 2009. This kind of virus can make people ill and is spreading from person-to-person, causing a growing outbreak of illness first in the United States and Mexico. Later, an increasing number of sick people are being reported in many other countries.

Why and how the swine flu started in humans is still unknown. The first sick people were found in the U. S. ,but soon it was found out that the new virus had much to do with an earlier outbreak of late-season flu in Mexico. Several days later hundreds of sick people were discovered in Mexico, with more sick people found in the U. S. , Australia, Europe and many other countries as well. The World Health Organization（WHO）worried that it could become a worldwide flu.

Although scientists have noticed that the outbreak has not been as serious as those in history, other health officials（官員）worry about what might happen later in the year, saying that “we are not seeing any sign（跡象）of this coming to an end. The flu might be spreading at a crazy speed. The number of sick people is expected to rise as the new flu spreads across the countries.” Besides, the new virus could change its form over the coming months. Leading to a new and more dangerous flu outbreak later in the year.

I think the most terrible thing in life for my little brother is getting up in the morning. He is almost sick when my mother calls, "Herbert! It's seven o'clock! Get up!" Herbert answers, "I'm coming!" and goes right back to sleep. I'm not at all like my brother. I don't like to go to bed at night but I don't mind getting up in the morning. I usually wake up before my mother calls me. I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom to take a shower. I get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast as soon as my mother calls. But not Herbert. He just sleeps. A military band (軍樂(lè)隊(duì)) in our bedroom could not wake him up. I call him and say, "Get up! Mum will be up here to pull you out of bed if you don't get up immediately!" But he just sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed. It's that way every day with my little brother. Perhaps some day he'll learn to get up on time, but I really don't think so.

1.The most terrible thing in life for my little brother is going to school.

2.I'm not like my brother because I like to go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning.

3.I usually jump out of bed and go into the bathroom for a shower before my mother calls.

4.When mother calls, Herbert doesn't answer and remains in bed.

5.My mother often has to go upstairs and pull Herbert out of bed as he refuses to get up.

What is the hottest word in China last year ? Baidu gave its list this month.“Shanzhai”（山寨）, a Chinese word, which today means “copying”, is top of the list.

It’s true that“shanzhai”is everywhere. There are“shanzhai”movies, songs, and TV programs. Some young people even tried to prepare for a“shanzhai”Spring Festival gala（春晚）, in which ordinary people would be invited to take part.“I want to ___①__ the‘shanzhai’gala on Spring Festival Eve ,”said 19-year-old Fan Xiaojie in Wuhan.“The performers can express themselves in a more creative and funnier way than those on CCTV.”

“‘shanzhai’is a way for young people to have their voices heard,”said Professor Gu Haibin. “The copying trend（趨勢(shì)）also encourages DIY（do it yourself）. With the development of the Internet, it has become __②__ to show their works and use technology. ‘shanzhai’works give ordinary people a chance to express themselves.”

Li Xinlian, a Beijing psychologist, talks about why“shanzhai”is so popular：“It meets people’s need to vent（發(fā)泄）, especially after last year’s many sad events, such as the snowstorm, earthquake and financial crisis（金融危機(jī)）, ”said Li.“The‘shanzhai’spirit makes fun of authority（嘲弄權(quán)威）and relaxes people.”
