5.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.
61.We know from the second paragraph thatA.
A.colds can be caused by different viruses
B.there are people who never catch a cold
C.the common cold is caused by only one virus
D.all people are easily attacked by colds
62.The underlined word"transmitted"in the fourth paragraph means"C".

63.If you have a cold,you can do the following exceptB.
A.drinking a lot of water

D.drinking chicken soups

A.different people may have different ways to fight against colds
B.now scientists have found out practical treatment for colds
C.working in freezing weather is the main reason for colds
D.colds can be passed from animals to human beings.

13.People born in winter are more likely to suffer mental health disorders,according to a recent study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.
Researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning (断奶) in either"summer"light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or"winter"cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark.A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day.
Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle,while half switched to a summer schedule.The summer mice were similarly split.The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups,one of which stayed on the 12hour schedule,one of which joined the winter group,and one of which joined the summer group.
After 28 days,it turns out the summerborn mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter.But among the winterborn mice,those stayed in winter kept their previous schedule,while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half,which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions in their biological clocks.
The finding is the first of its kind in mammals,and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders including bipolar depression,schizophrenia and seasonal affective disorder.
"We know that the biological clock regulates mood in humans,"said study researcher McMahon."If the mechanism (机制) similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans,the n it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders,but also have a more general effect on personality."
32.How many groups of mice are there finally in all in the experiment?
A
A.Seven.B.Six.C.Five.D.Four.
33.What's the main idea of the text?D
A.The biological clock regulates mood in humans.
B.People born in winter are at higher risk for physical health disorders.
C.The length of light will influence the behavior of the mice.
D.Being born in winter has a negative effect on people's mental health.
34.The underlined word"split"(Paragraph 3)can be replaced byB.
A.ended              B.divided            C.hit               D.torn
35.Who is the appropriate reader of the passage?C
A.A jobhunter.B.A student in the university.
C.A newlymarried couple.D.An experienced dentist.

20.Last December,Doris Low turned 90.Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto,where she helps transform literature into Braille(盲文) to bring the power of story and knowledge to the ears and minds of blind readers.She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises for more than 40 years.
  After working in the business world for a while,Low got fed up.So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library.
    Low's mother liked reading.As her eyes began to fail,Low read to her.Then"hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille,I decided to give it a try."In 1973,she was certified as a Braille transcriber (转译者) and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library.
  The job was strenuous---she could get to the end of a page,make a mistake on the last line,and have to do the whole thing again.For a number of years,Low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape.Three years ago,she took up proofreading (校对) at the CNIB's word factory.
  In April,during Volunteer Week,the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions.Thanks to volunteers like Low,the CNIB library has got more than 80,000 accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print."I can't imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris's contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proof-read over the years---and she is still doing so,"said a CNIB official.
"For me,"said Low,"the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer.Three things matter most in my life:a little play,a little work,a little love.I've found them all here."
