I’m a virus(病毒) for the common cold. It has been a long time since I infected(感染) humans last time. Today I tried to infect a boy in a primary school all day. His name is Sam. I waited on his desktop, and when he touched the desk I jumped on his finger. Unluckily, Sam didn’t touch his eyes, mouth or nose. Then, right after class, he washed his hands. Now I’m full of soap and sitting in a sink!

This morning I jumped into the nose of Sam’s best friend, Bill. Unluckily, the mucus(粘液) in his nose caught me. I thought it was over for me, when suddenly Bill sneezed(打喷嚏) while he was talking to Sam. I knew that would send me right into Sam’s face! However, Sam quickly gave Bill a tissue, and Bill sneezed into that instead! Infecting people is harder than I thought.

I’m feeling very unhappy today. Some scientists caught my friend Harry and put him under a microscope. Harry is a flu virus and he’s a dangerous little guy. Besides, Sam ate all his vegetables today. He’s exercising, and he’s getting eight hours of sleep every night. His body is too strong for me!

I tried to infect Sam again today, but he washed his hands five times and never touched his face! He also gave tissues to every student in his class who was sneezing. It’s impossible to give him a cold! So I have to give up and I’m moving to another school.

B
Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control(控制) yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced(影响) by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are happy with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up(蜷缩), you are a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.
