Last month some parents visited a pizza restaurant in Florida with their children． On the door， they saw a sign "NO CHLDREN．" "Why can't we bring our children？" "What on earth does the owner want to do？" The parents were surprised and complained angrily．
So why did the restaurant put up the sign on its door？
Troy Taylor， the owner of the pizza restaurant， found that many parents couldn't control their children and many children couldn't have meals quietly， so they disturbed other customers． Some people said that this was unfair． Mr． Taylor explained his decision． He said that the restaurant was near a busy road， so there might be some danger if the parents didn't take good care of their children． So he made up his mind to ban（禁止） children from his restaurant．
Others supported his decision， they said they were bored of noisy children in restaurants and now they could finally have a place for adults only．

（4）These methods may be useful for a while，but it is difficult to solve this problem completely．

You may have heard of people who are allergic（过敏）to seafood， smoke or pets． But did you know that some people were allergic to Wi﹣Fi signals（信号）？
Rose White， a 44﹣year﹣old woman from Britain， first found herself being allergic to Wi﹣Fi signals in 2015． She had a cough， heart trouble and great pains in her head when she stayed at the places covered with Wi﹣Fi signals．
Rose has tried many ways to keep away from Wi﹣Fi signals． In the past six months， she either slept in her car or in tent which she had put up in the woodland and in the fields． She even tried sleeping in a shed（棚子）． Being completely tired， Rose had no choice but to quit her job and moved 370 kilometers away from her home to avoid Wi﹣Fi signals， but failed． Because of the hard life， she got a stomach problem．
She is now living in a small house in the rural（乡下的） area in England． There are far fewer Wi﹣Fi signals． However， the house， which belongs to her friend， will be sold to others， so she has to move again soon．
Rose is planning to move to a more rural area． She is also planning to buy a camper van（野营车） so that she can drive away from Wi﹣Fi signals whenever she is feeling uncomfortable． As she can not work to make money， she has to raise money online． She is hoping to raise 15，000 pounds． So far， she has raised over 1，600 pounds． She still has a long way to go．

When you feel a sneeze（喷嚏）or cough coming on， covering your mouth prevents the spread of germs（细菌）． You probably knew that．
But how to cover your mouth is very important． You might use tissues（纸巾）， and put your used tissues into the bin． "If you don't have tissues， you should sneeze into your elbow， not your hand， even if you are used to doing that．" The doctors advised．
"If somebody sneezes into his hands， those germs will be passed on to other people， or other objects that people touch．" said Dr． Hill．
Germs are most commonly spread by sneezing and coughing． When they land on your hands， they are passed from hands to things like money， door knobs（扶手）， elevator buttons（电梯按钮）and other surfaces． At the same time， the people around you can touch them．
This isn't nagging（唠叨）． The Centers for Disease Control also suggest that sneezing and coughing into your elbow is necessary． Even the New York City subway officers ask the passengers to "cough or sneeze into elbow or use a tissue．"
"The suggestion was taken seriously about 10 years ago． However， most people didn't pay much attention to it． That means the adults may have missed the advice． But children are often taught in school the right way to cough or sneeze．" Dr Benjamin said．
To be clear， people can't keep away from all the risks in this way， but it's the best choice． At the same time， we'd better wear masks（口罩） and often wash our hands． "Hand washing is one of the most important things people can do to keep healthy．" Dr． Hill said．
