III. Read and translate the text

Think about the last time you had a cold. A cold is a common disease caused by viruses. Maybe you had a sore throat. Maybe you sneezed and had a running nose.

Flu is another disease caused by viruses and germs. People with flu sometimes feel like they have a cold. They also have a fever. A fever is a body temperature that is higher than normal. People with flu may also have an upset stomach, body aches, and chills. The symptoms of high temperature can be a headache, bodyaches, red face, hot dry skin, loss of appetite, faster pulse, and quick breathing.

If a person has fever he must stay in bed and drink plenty of water. The nurge must keep the patient warm, give him more blankets and hot drinks. When the patient is sweating the nurse should replace damp bed-clothes as quickly as possible and dress the patient in clean warm gown or pygamas. When the temperature is normal the patient may sit in bed and then have a short walk.

Many people in childhood may also become sick with chicken pox. Chicken pox is a disease that causes red spots on skin. Chicken pox is also caused by a virus.

When agents enter your body, your white blood cells may not always destroy all of them. Something special happens. Your blood produces antibodies. Antibodies are substances in your blood that destroy certain kinds of disease agents. There are different antibodies for different agents.

These antibodies stay in your blood for different lengths of time. Some antibodies last only a few days. These antibodies are produced each time agents enter your body. Many different viruses cause colds. Each time you catch a cold, your body produces antibodies for one of these viruses.

Have you ever had chicken pox? If you have, there are antibodies in your blood to destroy the agents which cause this disease. These antibodies stay in your blood for a lifetime. The disease agent that causes chicken pox will never make you ill again. You have an immunity. An immunity is your body's way of fighting a disease.
