Please turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand when you cough or sneeze. Afterwards, you should say, “Excuse me.” This is a rule I set for my students.
It is so simple, but many kids have never been told to do this. In fact, I notice adults cough and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate travelling by underground in New York during cold and flu season because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck.
One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs (病菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.
In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don’t cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out. We say “Bless you” when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should say “Gesundheit”. That means “Good health to you.” Both expressions are said just in case you didn’t cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins of these expressions and it encourages them to put the advice to use more often.

### 二、阅读理解
当你咳嗽或打喷嚏时，请把头转向远离他人的方向，并用整个手掌捂住嘴。之后，你应该说：“不好意思。”这是我为我的学生制定的一条规则。
这很简单，但很多孩子从未被教导要这样做。事实上，我注意到成年人在公共场合咳嗽或打喷嚏时也不会用手捂住嘴。在感冒和流感季节，我讨厌在纽约乘坐地铁，因为肯定会有人就站在我身后，对着我的脖子咳嗽或打喷嚏。
我向孩子们指出的一件重要的事情是，当他们用手捂住嘴打喷嚏或咳嗽后，应该尽快洗手。否则，他们会把那些病菌传播到他们接触的每一件东西和每一个人身上。
为了帮助孩子们记住这条规则，我给他们讲了一个古老的故事。故事说，当你打喷嚏时，邪灵会跳进你的身体里。如果你不捂住嘴，邪灵就会进入，但如果你捂住嘴，你就会把它们挡在外面。当有人打喷嚏时，我们会说“愿你健康”，在德国，你应该说“Gesundheit”。那意思是“祝你身体健康”。这两种表达都是以防你没有及时捂住嘴，邪灵得以进入你的身体而说的。孩子们喜欢探究这些表达的起源，这也鼓励他们更经常地运用这些建议。
（ ）1. 用手捂住嘴咳嗽或打喷嚏后，学生们被建议______。

A. 咳嗽或打喷嚏时捂住嘴并道歉。
B. 不要在人们面前咳嗽或打喷嚏。
C. 很多人在地铁上咳嗽或打喷嚏。

（ ）3. 从文章中我们可以知道这篇文章的作者一定是______。
A. 一名医生
