Next，you should try to avoid contact with the viruses that cause colds．If you can，stay away from large crowds．When people cough（咳嗽） and sneeze（打喷嚏），the cold virus goes into the air．Do not share a drinking cup，fork，or spoon with someone else because that could spread the virus．Washing you hands is also a good way not to catch a cold．The cold virus may be on the things like telephones and money．Shaking another person’s hand could even spread the virus．By washing your hands，you can stop the virus from infecting（传染）．
Following the suggestion above until doctors find a way to stop the viruses that cause colds．

Eat breakfast every morning．
Research shows that if you eat a meal in the morning you may not become too fat or eat toomuch during lunch．Eating breakfast can help people feel better through the day．

Walking is an easy way to exercise．You'd better meet friends for a walk，not for a meal．As you walk，you will see the beautiful world around you．Once you try，you will find that adding a walk into your daily life is very easy．

19．Some people think that chicken soup is good for a cold．Others believe that it is unhealthy not to eat meat．The question is，are they right？
Here are some facts．
For centuries，people have believed that chicken soup helps to fight a cold．Now，doctors say it may be true．They think that chicken soup has something that stops a cold from getting worse．Heat from the soup can also make a person feel better．
Many people think that it is unhealthy not to have meat.1t is true that meat，especially red meat，has protein（蛋白质）that the body needs．A person who doesn't eat meat can get enough protein and be healthy by eating tofu，eggs，and some vegetables．
A study showed that tea is better than coffee．Tea has something that can protect your heart，fight cancer，and make you less fat．Coffee does not do this．
Many people believe that bread and potatoes can easily make people fat．In fact，bread and potatoes do not have fat in them．But eating too much and not exercising can make people fat．Also，adding things like butter to them can raise the chance of becoming fat．
