Do you know HFMD? It’s short for Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease. This year, in China, thousands of children were suffering from it. What’s HFMD? How to prevent it? Now read the passage please.

HFMD usually affects babies who are 1~4years old, but adults can also be infected. Both EV71 and Cox A 16 can cause HFMD, which usually starts with a slight fever followed by blisters（水泡） and ulcers（溃疡） in the mouth and rashes（皮疹） on the hands and feet.

It can be spread（传播） through people with the mucus（唾液）or feces（粪便） of an infected person. It usually appears during the summer and autumn months. HFMD isn’t Bird Flu, SARS or Mad Cow Disease, but it’s not a new one, either. It first appeared in New Zealand in 1957. About forty years later, it appears in Asia. It’s reported that it breaks out every 2 or 3 years.

HFMD is very terrible and there is no vaccine（疫苗） now, but we can do something helpful to prevent it. Children with HFMD should seek medical treatment as early as possible, experts（专家） say. They also suggest（建议） that parents keep the air fresh in a child’s room, which should be kept clean, tidy and dry. Children should be taught to wash their hands regularly. Staying away from crowded（拥挤的） public places is also basic（基本的）.

    Each nation has many good people who help to take care of others. For example, some high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages (孤儿院) or homes for the aged. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.

  Other young people volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up, or repair their houses, do their shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
