As we know, it is common for people to catch a cold in winter and most people believe they know the reason for colds. However, scientists say people have some wrong beliefs about the cause of colds.

Many people think that once you get infected by colds, you will not be easy to be attacked by colds for the rest of your life. That’s not the case. There are about 200 different viruses that cause the common cold. You catch a cold because of one kind of them this time, but you might catch a cold next time because of another.

Others believe that people get sick just because of the cold weather in winter. That is also wrong.

It’s because people tend to stay closer in winter and the cold virus is transmitted from one person to another through handshakes, sneezing, or coughing.

While there is no actual cure for the common cold, scientists say there are still a few things you can do to help you. Some experts say honey and chicken soup are effective against colds. Especially honey. There is increasing evidence that it helps shorten the duration of the common cold sometimes even by two to three days particularly in children. Chicken soup also helps reduce the duration of the cold.

In addition, if you do have a cold and you don’t feel like eating anything, it’s not going to hurt you but you have to drink a lot and you can drink water or tea because doctors say the water cycle in your bodies helps to cure colds. That’s very important. Though there is more than one way to deal with colds, doctors say the best advice is to continue using whatever works best for you.

1.We know from the second paragraph that ______.

A．the common cold is caused by only one virus

B．there are people who never catch a cold

C．colds can be caused by different viruses

D．all people are easily attacked by colds

2. The underlined word “transmitted” in the fourth paragraph means “______”.

A．passed           B．changed          C．cured            D．caused

3.If you have a cold, you can do the following except ______.

A．drinking a lot of water                    B．drinking chicken soups

C．eating honey                           D．forcing yourself to eat

4. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A．now scientists have found out practical treatment for colds

B．different people may have different ways to fight against colds

C．working in freezing weather is the main reason for colds

D．colds can be passed from animals to human beings

“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷).

Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond's wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.

Yes, that's parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants(参与者) dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from roof top to roof top.

Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.

Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”

Another philosophy we've learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself. It is only a state of mind. It is when you trust yourself that you earn energy.

1.Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of ________.

A. its founder, David Belle

B. the varieties of participants

C. its risks and tricks

D. the film Casino Royale

2.The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.

A. streets            B. buildings            C. barriers            D. roofs

3.Which of the following is true of parkour?

A. It needs special training.

B. It is a good but boring sport.

C. It challenges human abilities.

D. It is a team sport.

4.As its participants move around a city, ________.

A. they should run to extremes

B. they may choose to escape

C. they can ask for help

D. they must learn to survive

5.Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?

A. Sports and extremes.

B. Excitement and freedom.

C. Determination and freedom.

D. Dreams and success.

Why do people listen to music? The answer may seem simple: Music is pleasant to make and to hear. But music touches our lives in many other ways, too.

Music changes our mood

My brother doesn’t choose music based on what he wants to hear. Instead, he decides what he wants to feel and picks music with that mood in mind. Upbeat, bright-sounding music generally makes people feel happy. But some people enjoy listening to sad music, too. It can be like talking with a friend who understands your suffering. But for some people, sad music can make them feel even sadder.

Music helps us get things done

Do you ever listen to music while you work? I do, and I find that it sometimes helps me concentrate, According to one expert, music can help you pay attention during boring or repeated tasks. But when you are doing tasks that require more thought, music can disturb you, making them harder.

My mom, a preschool teacher, uses music to manage her classroom. When she wants to call a child, instead of yelling the child's name, she sings it. This creates a more positive environment, while still getting the child’s attention.

Music brings people together

Music can also bring people closer to each other. This is especially true of music played live. Live music often features a group of people playing different instruments which makes it a shared experience. Listeners can share in the emotions the song expresses. They also create memories together.

And speaking of memories, lots of people connect music with specific places, people or events. Whenever they hear a certain song, they are transported back to some point in the past. Thus music can connect people not only to people who are present but also to people from their past.

Music is far more than just entertainment; it is a powerful force that affects us in many ways.

1.Why do some people enjoy sad music?

A.It can get their attention.

The FDA is the common name for the Food and Drug Administration. It is a government agency that makes consumer goods safe. It regulates food and the food supply. It also controls diet supplement. The FDA also makes sure that drugs and medical devices are safe and effective.

For drugs and medical machines to be accepted, they must go through a lengthy process. There are many strict tests. First, anything that humans use must be tested on animals. This may take up to 6 years. Then, it must be tested with a few people. Testing on 15 to 20 people can last up to a year and a half. Third, a mid-sized group (100 to 500 people) is used. This often takes two years. Then a large group is tested over 3 years. Of 5,000 drugs discovered, only 5 enter trials. Of that, only one passes on to the market.

Food supplements like ginseng (人参) follow a different path. The FDA does not pre-test them as they do for drugs. The agency only controls these products if they are unsafe but are already being sold. Two exceptions are baby and medical food. Because those that use them are not strong, the FDA is more careful with these products.

Labeling(标签) is a major focus. A label must show what a product is for. For drugs, labels should say the name of the drug and what it is used for. It should also detail who should take it and list any side effects. It needs to detail directions for pregnant women, children, or old people. It also needs to detail safety information.

The FDA protects the public from harm. It achieves this through controls and labeling. It has standards for effectiveness in medical products. It also has standards for how information is shared.

1.According to the passage, how many drugs make it to the market?

A.Nearly five thousand. B.One of five thousand.

C.Five thousand only. D.Over five thousand.

2.The author uses food supplements as an example of which of the following?

A.Things the FDA avoids B.Things the FDA controls

C.Things the FDA buys D.Things the FDA refuses

3.Which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 4 about labeling?

A.It is a necessary way to protect the public.

B.It does not matter if people read the labels or not.

C.It is only good if people can find the label.

D.It has no use if doctors tell people what to do

4.Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage?

A.Requirements for labeling

B.The acceptance of medical supplies

C.Why pregnant women take drugs

D.Controls for baby and medical food

Do people in your country hug in the street? In some countries, it is common for people to show affection(亲密) in public places. In the United States, for example, we often see couples hold hands, hug and kiss on the street, in the park, in the restaurant and even on trains and buses.
