When you feel a sneeze（噴嚏）or a cough coming on, covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs（細(xì)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（按鈕）and other surfaces. At the same time, the people around you can touch them.

This isn't nagging（嘮叨）. 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.

You have tried too hard but you don’t succeed; you’ve made all your efforts but you don’t get the results you want. What should you do? Give up and turn over a new page. Drop it like it’s hot, and run in the opposite direction as fast as you can.

Do you feel surprised? What is wrong with giving up? Oh yes, we all have been trained and asked to work hard to achieve our dreams, and that is a good thing. The problem comes out when all these inspirational quotes (勵(lì)志名言) start confusing us.

These messages tell people not to give up, but they don’t tell you that it should only apply to (適用于) your true dreams. They tell people to “try and try again” until they succeed, but that amount of effort should only be put toward what people really want in life and they should never give up no matter what life goals they have. The rest is all just there to confuse you, distract (使分心) you, give you a headache and sadness, so don’t let it happen.

If you are really not good at something, give it up and try to do something you like. Once you do something you like, you won’t feel bored and also won’t give it up. You know clearly what you want even the road to success is hard. So you need to know what you’re good at. To find your talent, you need to observe (觀察) the things around you and write down the things you’re interested in on your notebook. Then you can search them on the Internet, and know more about them. Asking your parents or friends for help is also a good idea because they can see something you can’t. They can help you know yourself clearly.

Try to discover your talent, your ability and your skills. Find out what you are good at, what makes you happy and then work on it. If you do, no one would have to tell you or inspire you not to give up because when you love something, you keep trying until you get it right and the enthusiasm flows from within. Don’t worry about what people will say or think. It’s your life, so you have to love it and be your own boss.

1.Inspirational quotes are suitable for those who ________.

A.are successful B.have no life goals

C.have true dreams D.never give up

2.Once you find something you like, you won’t ________.

A.achieve your dreams B.feel bored or give up

C.know yourself clearly D.continue it

3.Why can you ask your parents for help to find your talent?

A.They can see something you can’t. B.They are good at everything.

C.They are older than you. D.They know how to help you.

4.The underlined word “enthusiasm” in the passage means?

A.happiness B.curiosity C.ability D.warmth

5.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A.We can’t believe everything about inspirational quotes.

B.It’s not a bad thing for us to give up sometimes.

C.Each of us has our own talent and skills.

D.Anything is not so easy to do well.
