When someone who has the flu coughs or sneezes, little droplets from their lungs (肺) spread out into the air. Anyone nearby can get sick. Even a person who touches something with the virus and then touches his or her mouth, eyes, or nose, can become infected(感染). The outbreak of the 1918 influenza infected about 500 million people worldwide. It killed from 20 million to 50 million people. It was first seen in Europe, the United States, and parts of Asia. It then spread quickly around the world. Many people who became sick were young, healthy adults. At the time, no treatments worked in the prevention of the spread of the killer flu. People were ordered to wear masks. Schools, theaters and other public places were closed. When the first wave(波〉in the spring of 1918 hit, it didn't seem serious. People who were infected felt the usual flu symptoms(症状), which are chills, fevers, and feeling tired. Those who got sick generally got better after several days. Not many died. However, a second, highly contagious(传染的)wave of influenza appeared in the fall of that same year. Victims died shortly after they were infected — within hours or days. Their skin turned blue and their lungs were filled with liquid(液体), making it very difficult to breathe. By the summer of 1919, the flu pandemic(大流行病) came to an end. Sick people had either got well or died. Almost 90 years later, in 2008, researchers announced they’d discovered why the 1918 flu was so deadly. The flu virus inflamed (使…恶化)the lungs, causing them to fill with liquid. Since 1918, there have been several other influenza pandemics, although none has been quite as deadly.

Their family had moved to the new place nearly four months ago. The new place was housed inside a huge transparent dome (透明的圆屋顶).

You may not know exactly where you are, what bird is making that strange sound, or what the hill ahead of you is called, but that’s part of the fun of it. You don’t need to know these things to feel the beauty of nature. Of course, if you do know your birds, trees and local history, a walk can be more attractive. Yet such knowledge comes slowly. It is picked up through experience. A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone. Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen. Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin(毁灭) it? Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge, for example, about baroque(巴洛克风格的) paintings. In fact, apps in museums try to provide on-screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings. It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon-fed(灌输) amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate(欣赏) it. Our first experience of a work of art should be raw(自然状态的), unguided, and a bit puzzling, like following a path in the woods. Later, you might choose to do some personal research into the work. It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it. Yet it is best done when you’re away from the art itself, so that even when you return, the work still feels fresh. Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong. We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art. Let the paintings flow in; let your intuitions(直觉) fly off. Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all.

2. B.Art is best when hidden in mystery.
3. C.Art is nothing compared with nature.
