World Reading Day falls on April 23 every year. It's a day about reading books and it mainly encourages people to read more. Some of you might ask, "Are books really fun?" Believe it or not, books can provide us with many things that TV plays cannot.
Since books use words or pictures to tell us a story, books can help us to improve our imagination. While we are reading, we can imagine the characters and background in our mind, we can also imagine how the characters feel and sometimes manage to feel how they feel. Some certain sentences in the story books are also very interesting. Sometimes they are so moving and beautiful that they can bring tears to our eyes.
Books can also help us to think harder and deeper. As we continue to read, we ask questions to ourselves and try to find answers. Remember: the more you read, the more you grow.

When you feel a sneeze（喷嚏）or a cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs（细菌）. You probably knew that.
But how to cover your mouth is very important. You might use tissues and put your used tissues into the bin. “If you don't have tissues, you should sneeze into your elbow, not your hand, even if you are used to doing that.” the doctor advised.
“If someone sneezes into his hand, those germs will be passed on to other people, or other objects that people touch.” said Dr. Hill.
Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing. When they land on your hands, they are passed from hands to things like bills, door knobs（扶手）, lift buttons（按钮）and other surfaces. At the same time, the people around you can touch them.
This isn't nagging（唠叨）. The Centers for Disease Control also suggest that sneezing and coughing into your elbow be necessary. Even the New York City subway officers ask the passengers to “cough or sneeze into the elbow or use a tissue”.
“The suggestion was taken seriously about 10 years ago. However, most people didn't pay much attention to it. That means the adults may have missed the advice. But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze.” Dr. Benjamin said.
It is clear that people can't keep away from all the risks in this way, but it's the best choice. At the same time, we'd better wear masks（口罩）and often wash our hands. "Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy." Dr. Hill said.

A poor boy once went to a ragged（破旧的）school, where his face was well washed. When he returned home, the neighbors looked at him in surprise.
They said, "That looks like Tom Rogers, and yet it can't be, for he is so clean."
After a while, his mother looked at him, and seeing that his face was so clean, she thought that her own face was dirty, and she washed it at once.
The father soon came home from his work, and, seeing his wife and his son so clean, he thought that his face was dirty, and so he followed their example.
Father, mother and son being clean, the mother began to think that the room looked dirty, so she went down on her knees to scrub（擦洗）the floor clean.
A woman lived next door. Seeing so great a change in her neighbors, she thought that her face and her room were very dirty, so she, too, quickly set about cleaning them.
This story shows how two houses and their families were made tidy and comfortable, simply by the example of the clean face of one ragged school boy.
Children, as well as grow-up people, should always set a good example. We never know how much good may be done in that way, nor can we tell how much harm results from a bad example.
