              The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the spread of mosquito-born Zika virus a global public health emergency.On Monday,the global health agency held an emergency meeting in Geneva after warning the public that Zika is spreading"explosively"across the Americas.Dr.Margaret Chan,the director-general of the WHO,said after the meeting that the cases of microcephaly,which is a birth disease in which babies are born with very small heads and underdeveloped brains,in regions with Zika cases,"become an extraordinary event and a public health threat to other parts of the world."
              Last week,health officials confirmed one case of the virus in Denmark,five in Great Britain,three cases in the United States and 18in its territory of Puerto Rico.The global health organization also predicts that Zika could infect as many as four million people in the Americas this year.
              The symptoms from the virus are minor.The symptoms are flu-like and include a rash (皮疹).But the results for some infected with Zika--namely pregnant women--are destructive.The WHO suspects the virus may have something to do with brain disorders in babies.Health experts highly suspect there may be a link between the illness and microcephaly.However,a definite link between Zika and microcephaly has not been proven.
              World Health Organization spokesman Gregory Hartl has this to say,"So,one of the curiosities is why we have so many neurological (神经学的) cases in the northeast of Brazil,but we have not had it in other places.So,we really need to understand what is existing that causes these microcephaly cases,for example,in children."
              Hartl does not agree with claims that the Zika virus could lead to a threat similar to that of Ebola (埃博拉病毒).He says that Ebola is transmitted by contact with bodily fluids (体液) from person to person and kills about 50percent of its victims."Zika has never killed a person and it is transmitted by the mosquito.So,we know that there are those two basic differences at least.Let us say that Zika on its own would not be the consideration of an emergency committee.What is the concern to the international community is the possible link with neurological disorders."

              Most families in Beijing love to gather in front of TV sets after dinner.But Gao Ning,husband of Huang Xiaoying,and his parents have better things to do.They clean the dishes,laze around (休闲) a bit,change into track suits,put on their sports shoes and leave home.
              The 32-year-old man and his wife sweat it out on treadmills(跑步机),go through the severe conditions of a group exercise session or do some stretching exercises under the guidance of personal trainers.And his parents join a group of retired people,most of them in their 60s,in a nearby community park to dance to the rhythms of traditional music.They use the intervals to chat with other members of the group,sharing their joys and pains.
              The Gaos represent a growing number of Beijing families that sweat by exercise,especially because of the Beijing Olympics'public fitness drive.Gone are the days when many people considered physical labor as the only way of exercise.More and more middle-aged and elderly people have realized the importance of regular exercise.
              "Most of the people who join us for the group dancing sessions suffer from chronic(慢性的) diseases that need a certain amount of exercise as treatment,"said Gao Ning's mother Gao Xiaohua,"It's a place for us to kill time,too."
              "Paying 1,000yuan (﹩146)a year as club fees is a waste of money,"said Gao Xiaohua."Besides,we don't need that tough exercise routine."
              Gao Ning said:"I feel relaxed and sort of reborn after a work-out.Without it my days are gloomy and I feel tired."
              Gao Ning and Huang Xiaoying make about﹩30,000a year,and pay﹩200each annually for their gym membership to get personal trainers for an hour a day.
              "It's money well spent,"Huang said."After you get all the necessities,money,job and a house,you realize how important health is.Without health,nothing is meaningful."
