求一篇关于猪流感的作文!
迷 信
—观《辣与不辣》

“不要迷信书本,也不要迷信权威.”这是第五组课文怀特森先生对人生的感慨.尽管之前对此话仍是一种抽象的概念,但今天,一幅漫画使我蜕变,使我理智地面对它,重新审视了这句话所抨击的问题,让我更深懂得了一个深刻而又严肃的问题:过度迷信权威是国人的病态与思想缺陷.
这是一幅极具讽刺而富含哲理的漫画:一个年轻小贩在卖辣椒.一位中年妇女走来问:“辣不?”小贩自信满满地说:“辣.”妇女一听,满面愁容地走了,小贩在迷惑之余又似懂非懂什么.顷刻,一位大汉走来问:“辣不?”小贩吸取教训,拍着胸口说:“不辣.”大汉又满脸愁容地走了,看着大汉远走的身影,小贩却犯晕了……看罢漫画,在可笑之余,我又略感忧伤.我仿佛在漫画中看到的是一种权威与一群盲目追随,迷信权威而脱离实际的国人,我自始自终为这些人的“无能”感到由衷的可怜.却看画,这两顾客就是后者,他们在听从小贩的片面之词而决定买与不买之时,却始终没有用自己具有的独立思考和独立判断事物真伪的能力看定辣椒的辣与不辣或经尝试后再决定下次投资,这着实令我痛心.他也揭露了中国教育在完美学生徳、智、体、美的时候,却忽略了培养学生在二十一世纪科技人才领域多次强调的独立思考与判断、怀疑权威、事物的对或错的决定未来是成功还是失败的一个征服者所具备的能力,这也是众多希望中国教育变革者的心愿……
回归实际,再谈谈近期闹得沸沸扬扬的“猪流感”.
眼下,随着北美地区以外的确诊病例不断增加,世界卫生组织已提高警告级别,还让我们不能掉以轻心,要高度关注,保持足够的警惕.但与此同时,人们却为此诚惶诚恐,如“甲型HINI流感”疫情散布危及人类等谣言四起,一时间人们人心惶惶.不少外商却趁机哄抬药品,口罩价格这属严重的价格违法行为之时,在本届广交会第三期首日抛出几百万大单,使有隔离病毒功能口罩成了抢手货,这无疑不是国人过度迷信权威,以为疫情一发不可收拾所犯下的种种因果.
想罢,由漫画联起“猪流感”,我完全可以预见的是,将来一定还有未知的什么病毒不以人的意志为转移,一定要执著地光顾人类,但它们本身并不可怕,一定程度上说,可怕的只是对病毒无端恐惧,以及这种恐惧对病人、家属所造成的沉重心理压力,实际上,这只不过是国人迷信权威,盲目地追随他们的话而造成的不必要的恐慌,这是每一个智者都为之痛心的.因此,我也并非无端地支持怀特森先生“不要迷信书本,也不要迷信权威.”
顺便给你英文版的
Swine flu has yet to escalate into a global pandemic, but here's what to do if it does
5 Ways to Protect Yourself (and Others) from Swine Flu
Experts say that the steps you should take to shield yourself from swine flu are not much different than those you might take to ward off seasonal flu.
1. Don't touch your face
Above all, keep your hands away from your eyes, mouth and nose, all of which serve as pathways for the virus to enter your respiratory tract, says Allison Aiello, an epidemiologist at the University of Michigan School of Public Health in Ann Arbor.
2. Wash your hands
If you must touch your face, scrub your hands, getting under the fingernails and inside all crevices, for 20 to 30 seconds with hot soap and water beforehand, Aiello says. "In addition to dislodging dirt that may contain virus particles, soaps contain surfactants [the primary components of detergents] which can damage the lipid [fat] protecting virus particles," she explains. Soap should therefore be effective against all flu viruses.
3. Use a hand sanitizer
No sink nearby? Then use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, Aiello advises. About a quarter-size spot, rubbed all over the hands until the sanitizer evaporates (usually 10 to 15 seconds), should do it. Alcohol can inactivate viruses by destroying the structure of their proteins, she notes.
4. Cover your nose and mouth
When someone sneezes or coughs, liquid droplets packing flu viruses can travel as far as three feet (one meter) through the air and descend on your nose or mouth, so it's best to maintain at least an arm's-length distance when talking to someone who shows signs of infection, says Louise Dembry, director of epidemiology at Yale–New Haven Hospital in Connecticut. And to protect others, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and clean your hands afterward, she says, noting that viruses can remain infectious for hours, if not longer, when they linger on the skin or other surfaces such as keyboards and subway poles.
5. Consider buying a mask in case you need it in the future
From press photos, it seems that Mexico's entire population has donned surgical masks, but the verdict is still out on how effective they are in stemming the spread of flu, according to Aiello. Some research suggests that masks—either the surgical variety or respirators called N95's specially designed to filter out water droplets containing viruses—reduce the risk of contracting the flu or other respiratory pathogens by as much as 80 percent, but research by Aiello's team suggests that masks do little unless used in conjunction with diligent hand washing.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is "extremely limited" data on the effectiveness of face masks and respirators for blocking flu spread in communities. The agency suggests, however, that people consider using them when it's impossible to avoid "crowded settings or close contact with others" in areas where swine flu transmission has been confirmed: face masks for crowded places and respirators for situations that involve close contact with people who have respiratory infections (caring for a sick family member, for example).
