Autumn and winter are cold and flu seasons. Will the old advice about dressing warmly help prevent a cold, or if you get sick, should you follow the old saying, “feed a cold and starve a fever?” And what about that fever? Should you take medicine to reduce your temperature, or is it better to let the body treat the fever itself? Everyone seems to have an answer. But is popular wisdom valuable?
Doctor Nelson knows a lot about cold and flu seasons. Nelson says research may be just starting to provide proofs for long-held beliefs. For example, scientists for years were against the idea that getting cold and wet might cause colds or flu. But recent studies have shown that cold temperatures cause stress on the body, and that stress can create conditions more inviting to viruses. So maybe it does make sense to wrap up warmly before going outside.
And what about feeding a cold and starving a fever? Nelson says if you have a cold and are hungry, you should eat. But a fever, especially a high one, suggests a more serious problem. He says people are usually not hungry when they have a high fever. Eating might even make a person sick. But drinking enough water is important. A fever easily makes the body lose water.
Finally, when should you treat a fever? Nelson says a fever should be treated if it stays at
40℃ or above for a day or more. A high temperature can damage brain cells. The doctor also believes in treating a fever if it prevents a person from sleeping.
Medicine like aspirin, for example, can be used to reduce pain and fever. But aspirin should not be given to children because it can cause serious problems.

  1. 1.

    We can learn from the passage that Doctor Nelson________.

    1. A.
      doesn’t believe in the old advice about preventing colds
    2. B.
      is now trying his best to provide proofs for long-held beliefs.
    3. C.
      doesn’t think it necessary to see a doctor immediately if a person has a temperature of 40℃
    4. D.
      doesn’t think it necessary to treat a fever even if it prevents someone from sleeping.
  2. 2.

    According to Doctor Nelson, if someone catches a fever, he should________.

    1. A.
      bathe in cold water
    2. B.
      drink enough water
    3. C.
      try to eat something
    4. D.
      take some exercise outside
  3. 3.

    Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage?

    1. A.
      When people should treat a fever
    2. B.
      Whether the old advice about preventing a cold is valuable.
    3. C.
      What the medicine , aspirin, is used for.
    4. D.
      Why people should eat when having a cold.
  4. 4.

    The passage suggests that_______.

    1. A.
      aspirin can damage train cells if an adult takes too much of it.
    2. B.
      it is easier for people to catch colds when their bodies are stressed.
    3. C.
      some old advice about preventing colds doesn’t make any sense.
    4. D.
      the idea that getting cold can cause flu was proved true years ago.

If cars had wings, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2012. The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its car-plane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012.
“It’s next ‘wow’ vehicle,” said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”
The car-plane has wings that unfold for flying-a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land.
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go. When you land, you hold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport-you park it in the garage at home.
The car-plane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Thrrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under the bad weather instead of flying into marginal(臨界的) conditions.
The Transition’s price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, , a transponder or a GPS. Another option is a full-plane parachute.
“If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option.” Gersh said.
So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said.

  1. 1.

    We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _________.

    1. A.
      car-planes will be popular in 2012-4-6
    2. B.
      people might drive a car-plane in 2012
    3. C.
      both the Transition and Ferrari can take off and land
    4. D.
      Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
  2. 2.

    It takes the car-plane one minute to _________.

    1. A.
      fold and unfold its wings
    2. B.
      unfold wings for flying
    3. C.
      land in the airport

America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — edu?cation, medicine, and business. Quietly, the aging of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.
A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/ her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop work?ing isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.

  1. 1.

    3. C.
      has changed people’s understanding of age

      do the right thing at the right age

A study of a university in Shanghai had found that many of the students there are using a quote（引語(yǔ)）from the Italian poet Dante as a kind of motto. The study of Fudan University, one of China’s top universities, of 489 students, found that 82 had chosen Dante’s “Follow your own path and don’t worry about what others say” as their motto, out of 278 people who said they had a motto. This was followed by “Believe yourself” and “Self-improvement without stop.”
Students also expressed a common hope for greater understanding and care and said they were always ready to give a hand to those in need.
