Harmful microbes like bacteris,viruses and other germs are pathogens.They may enter your bodies and make you ill.The immune system is the body's defence system that protects you from illness and disease caused by the pathogens.
The immune system is made up of non﹣specialized defences such as skin,tears and the acidic juice produced by the stomach,keeping you from the pathogens.It also has some highly specializde defences,which are different kinds of immune cells,grouped into phagocytes and lymphocytes.Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell.They are swimming around in your blood stream,always on the lookout for antigens﹣the pathogens that have entered your bodies.Whenever they see one,ther will eat it.However,some antigens are hard to find and kill.Then lymphocytes,which are also white blood cells and the main types are B cells,T helper cells and T killer cells,Will be the killers of the sncaky antigens.
B cells,T helper and T killer cells work together to find and kill these antigens.B cells produce substances,called antibodies,which stick to the antigen.When that happens,it will tell the T helper cells to come over and either:1.help the B cells kill the antigen,or 2.call the phagocytes or T killer cells to move in for the kill.Once a B cell or a T cell attacks an antigen,they create cells to"remember"it.Those"memory cells"hang out in your blood if they see the same antigen again,they quickly recognize,it so your immune system can act faster at killing it.
The immune system is more powerful than you probably imagine.Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania recently took immune cells from three patients with leukemia,then genetically cheanged them into "serial Keller" cells to attack cancer cells.The study was small but the results were groundbraking.The modified immune cells increascd at least 1,000 times in the body and killed all the cancer cells.Therefore,more "memory cells" were created.
The immune system can be developed.Eating lean protein food (beef,beans )and food rich in vitamins A,C,and E(sweet potatoes,carrots ),taking a 30﹣minute walk every day and reducing your stress levels,etc.will help you achieve it.
37.What can the immune system do?

B.Skin,tears,acidic juice and immune cells work together
C.B cells create "memory cells" to swim around in the blood
D.B cells produce antibodies to tell T helper and T killer cells
39.What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to?
A.The immune system can be made more powerful
B.Less antigens can be killed by the immune system
C.White blood cells act less quickly in the immune system

One evening as I was leaving the store,I noticed a man with a very old sleeping bag going through the garbage can nearby.He pulled out fast food trash bags and inspected all that was in the thrown away bags,but he never stopped anyone to beg for money or anything eles as they entered or left my store.After he went through the entire trash can,he carefully cleaned up the area and wrapped up the food he found in the dirty hamburger wrapper.My heart literally hurt for him.
I decided to help him.I got out of my car and asked him if I could buy him something to eat.He thanked and,followed me to the fast food place around the block.I bought him the biggest meal they had on the menu.He didn't ask for anything and the only request was a big glass of hot sweet tea to go with his meal.When I brought him the food,he was so thankful.He told me how much he appreciated the meal.
I wanted to give him some money.He shook his head.I asked him if I could buy a few meals and put it on a gift card for him.He agreed.
As I handed him the gife card,he broke down crying.He told me that he prayed for me today.I wasn't sure what he meant (I was guessing he was praying for me for what I did for him )so I thanked him.
"NO,I prayed that God would send someone to buy me a hot meal today …and be sent you!" Tears traced down his checks.
I didn't know what to say …I always pray over my food,but I've never prayed for a meal.I've never doubted that I wouldn't be able to eat …Tears began to fill my eyes.Oh my …how blessed am I…Maybe God used me to answer this man's prayer.

What is the difference between a fear (害怕)and a phobia?You might have a fear of dogs if you have ever been bitten by one.However,if you avoid walking down streets where you think there might be a dog,you may have a phobia,which is a strong unnatural fear.If the fear has started to change a person's life,he or she probably has a phobia.Different surveys say that between 10and 80percent of us have at least one phobia.

.For example,cats are very cute for most of us,but not for such powerful people in history as Alexander the Great and Napolean Bonaparte.Actor Nicole Kidman says,"I'm not scared of snakes or spiders,but I'm scared of butterflies.Sometimes when I came home from school,the biggest butterfly you had ever seen would be just sitting on our front gate.I would climb over the fence,move slowly to the side of the house,or do anything to avoid having to go through the front gate."Clowns (小丑)are not so funny for actor Johnny Depp,whose childhood memory of the"painted faces and fake smiles"still makes him scared.Some other weird (怪诞的)phobias,including chewing gum,old doors or windows and footsteps,also fear some famous persons,such as Orah Winfred,Billy Boband Sigmund Fred.
