Surviving Illness Away From Home
Being ill is a horrible thing at the best of times, but what is even worse is when you are ill away from home. If you’re living away from home or abroad, it’s important to get better at your own pace in order to ensure you can enjoy the rest of your time away.
① Pampering （娇惯）yourself is always a good start. If you feel so ill and tired that you can’t even get out of bed, then don’t! Make a trip to the kitchen and stock up on fluids and try to make yourself some hot food. The key to getting better is to drink lots of fluids. Water and hot drinks such as green tea and soup are usually the best things.
② Try to distract yourself from feeling horrible. If you have a TV, watch one of your favorite films or TV series. If you don’t have a TV, maybe put the radio on. If you have a headache and all the noise is too much to handle, try reading the book you’ve always wanted to read but never had the time to. Being ill doesn’t have to be the worst day in the world!
③ Tell your friends and family that you are ill. Sometimes there is nothing better than hearing words of comfort from loved ones who feel sorry for you and want to cheer you up and make you happy. There is nothing wrong with a little attention from others when you’re ill. Who knows, they might even be willing to travel and visit you with lots of “Get Well” presents like your favorite food, magazine or flowers.
④ When you do arrive at a new place where you will be staying for a few months, make sure you know exactly where the nearest drugstore is. If you are in a foreign country, it might be best to translate a few useful phrases before you start asking for a cure.
1.Being sick away from home is____.

【文章大意】在外挺过疾病
在最好的时候生病是一件可怕的事情，但更糟糕的是在外生病。如果你离家很远或在国外生活，重要的是要按照自己的节奏变得更好，确保可以享受剩下的时间。
① 宠爱（娇惯）自己总是好的开始。如果你感到非常不适和疲倦，甚至无法起床，那就不要起床！去厨房一趟，储备一些喝的，试着给自己做些热食。变得更好的关键是多喝水。水、绿茶和汤等热饮通常是最好的东西。
② 尽量分散自己的注意力，避免感到可怕。如果有电视，看一部你最喜欢的电影或电视剧。如果没有电视，可以打开收音机。如果你头痛并且接受不了一切噪音，可以读读一直想看但没有时间看的书。生病不一定是世界上最糟糕的一天！
③ 告诉你的朋友和家人你生病了。有时候，没有什么比听到那些为你感到难过并想让你振作起来、让你快乐的亲人安慰的话更好的了。你生病的时候，得到别人的一点关注并没有错。谁知道呢，他们甚至可能愿意带着很多“康复”礼物旅游，然后拜访你，比如你最喜欢的食物、杂志或鲜花。
④ 当你到达一个将要住几个月的新地方，确保知道最近的药店在哪里。如果你在国外，最好先翻译一些有用的短语，然后再寻求治疗。
