With more and more rain falling, it's time for snakes to be active. Living in the city, it never crosses your mind that we might meet them face to face.
Most people are afraid of snakes. They may think snakes are dangerous and ugly. There are more than 2,000 kinds of snakes. Most of them live in mountains or forests, and in cities sometimes we can find them in grass or other dark places. Snakes can't walk or run because they have no legs or feet, but these long and thin animals can move very fast on their stomachs. Snakes usually have green, yellow or black skins, which make it difficult for their enemies to find them.In winter they hibernate in holes They look for a hole to stay inside, in the ground, or in a rock or a tree. They do not wake up again until spring comes. Snakes feed on mice, frogs, bird eggs and so on.
Snakes play an important part in nature. We can make useful medicine with them. Without their help, the rodents(啮齿动物) will be out of control. But many of them are in danger of disappearing. Houses and buildings take up the land where snakes live. Many snakes lose their lives in traffic, and people often kill snakes for their skins or meat.

Don't drink any drinks.
“Soda and coffee should be refused when you have a fever,"says Pauline, a doctor about family medicine. They can cause dehydration(脱水).
37 “It's better not to put on too many clothes,” says Dr. Marinov. Your body will work harder to change your body temperature to a proper one and then it just makes your fever worse.
Don't double(加倍) up on your medicine.
38 However, if you take too much medieine, you may get into trouble “Some people overtake medicine and their body is hurt or even some of them lose their lives,"says Dr. Marinov.
Don't stay hungry.
“The fever speeds up your metabolism(新陈代谢). You need even more energy from food,”says Dr Marinov Being hungry has a bad influence on your body health 39
Don't forget to drink water.
“A fever will speed up breathing rate(频率), so there is water loss 40 These will finally cause serious dehydration(脱水). Drinking enough water can solve the problem well,"says Ralph, director of a scientific research.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A. Food allows you to have energy to fight against the fever.
B. Don't wear too much.
C. Here are some of them shared by doctors.
D. What's more, people usually drink less water during a fever.
