I Read the text and choose a title for the text.


a. What’s the matter? b. What causes the flu?
c. When should you see a doctor? d. Who helps with health problems?

The common cold and the flu have similar symptoms. They
both cause a sore throat, runny nose, congestion, and a cough.
The flu is different from a cold. In addition, the flu includes other
symptoms such as fever, headache and muscle soreness.

Viruses cause the flu. It is a highly contagious disease; it


spreads very easily. People with the flu sneeze and cough a lot.
The viruses go into the air. If you are around sick people, you
may breathe in the viruses. You can also get it from kissing sick
people. You can get it on your hands from objects like glasses,
silverware, doorknobs, handles, television remotes, computer
keyboards, and telephones. The virus enters your body when
you touch your nose, eyes, or mouth with your infected hands.

If you want to protect yourself from the flu, you should stay
away from sick people. It also is important to wash your hands
often with soap and water. You should eat healthy food and take
vitamins. If you get the flu, you’d better stay home.
