Common-cold Sense
You can't beat it,but you don't have to join it.Maybe it got the name"common cold"because it's more common in winter.The fact is,though,being cold doesn't have anything to do with getting one.Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses,and,at least so far,medical science is better at telling you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one.
Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults,because they have more colds than adults-an average of about eight per year.Why do kids seem so much more easily to get colds than their parents?Simple.They haven't had the opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses.
There are more than 150 different cold viruses,and you never have the same one twice.being infected by one makes you immune to it-but only it.
Colds are usually spread by direct contact,not sneezing or coughing.From another person's hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route.The highest concentration of cold viruses anywhere is found under the thumbnails of a boy,although the viruses can survive for hours on skin or other smooth surfaces.
Hygiene is your best defense.Wash your hands frequently,preferably with a disinfectant soap,especially when children in your household have colds.
But even careful hygiene won't ward off every cold.So,what works when a coughing,sneezing, runny nose strikes?
The old prescription of two aspirins,lots of water,and bed rest is a good place to start.But you'll also find some of the folk remedies worth trying.Hot mixtures of sugar(or honey),lemon,and water have real benefits.
According to the essay,you may have a cold because.
A:the weather is too cold
B:the spread of rhinoviruses gets people infected
C:another person's coughing passes the cold to you
D:you wash your hands too often

    Trying to Find a Partner
    One of the most striking findings of a recent poii in the UK is that of the people interviewed, one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.
    Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships?
    Does modern life really make it harder to , fall in love?Or are we making it harder for ourselves?
    It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships.Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status.A man doesn't expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.
    But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.
    In theory,finding a partner should be much simpler these days.Only a few generations ago, your choice of soulmate（心上人）was constrained by geography , social convention and family tradition .Although it was never explicit,many marriages were essentially arranged.
    Now those barriers have been broken down.You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening. When the world is your oyster（牡砺）,you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.
    But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint:the tyranny of choice.
    The expectations of partners are inflated to an unmanageable degree:good looks,impressive salary,kind to grandmother,and right socks.There is no room for error in the first impression.
    We think that a relationship can be perfect. If it isn't,it is disposable.We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don't put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship.Of course,this is complicated by realities.The cost of housing and child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.
    What does the recent poil show?
    A: It is getting more difficult for a woman to find her husband.
    B: It is getting increasingly difficult to start a family.
    C: It is getting more difficult for a man to find his wife.
    D: It is getting increasingly difficult to develop an intimate relationship with your spouse.

    第一篇
    A recent study,published in last week's Journal of American Medical Association,offers a picture of how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed,a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal accident as a teenager driving alone,by contrast,the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with. each additional passenger.
    The author also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 pm,and especially after midnight.With passengers in the car,the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.
    Robert Foss,a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers,have less to do with"really stupid behavior" than with just a lack of driving experience."The basic issue,"he says,"is that adults who are responsible for issuing licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled a task driving is."
    Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate（使······缓解）the problem is to have states institute so-called graduated licensing systems,in which getting a license is a multistage process.A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult,followed by a period of driving with passenger restrictions,before graduating to full driving privileges.
    Graduate licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes,according to recent studies. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place,but only 10 of those states have restrictions on passengers. California is the strictest,with a novice（新手）driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under 20(without the presence of an adult over 25)for the first six months.
    According to Paragraph 3,which of the following statements is true?
    A:Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive.
    B:Driving is a skill too complicated for teenagers to learn.
    C:Restriction should be imposed on teenagers applying to take driving lessons.
    D:The licensing authorities are partly responsible for teenagers' driving accidents.
