　　The Flu(流感)

　　There’s nothing gradual(渐渐的) about the flu: it hits you like a hammer(锤子). One minute you’re feeling fine and the next you can be shivering(冷得发抖), burning up(烧得难受), and then shivering again. In minutes, your legs become weak(无力的)and your body aches(作痛)in places that have never hurt before. Influenza(流感)can break out(爆发)so suddenly that people can sometimes say, “It hit me at exactly 9 last night.” But whether the flu strikes(来袭)at night or on the bus to school, there’s just one thing a victim(患者，受害者)wants to do: lie down in bed. A healthy person can fight off(击退)the flu in three to five days, though a cough(咳嗽)and tired feeling can last two more weeks. But often an attack(来袭)of the flu is followed by another illness. Doctors recommend(推荐)that old people , or people of any age with heart or lung(肺部) problems, get a flu vaccine(免疫接种)every year. Because flu viruses(病毒)change all the time, a new vaccine must be prepared each year to protect against(防备)future attacks.
