10、ke with pale yellow hair”, and my father only smiles. I guess growing up with Western parents and living in a fairly Western society have made me feel rather “Western”. However, my mother thought that it was still important for me to stay connected to my “roots”.Our family would go on various trips
11、to China, sightseeing and learning more about the culture.

18、n it. Maybe it got the name “common cold” because its more common in winter. The fact is, though, being cold doesnt have anything to do with getting one. Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses(鼻病毒), and, at least so far, medical science is better at telling you how to avoid getting one than
19、how to get rid of one.Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults, because they have more colds than adultsan average of about eight per year. Why do kids seem so much more easily to get colds than their parents? Simple. They havent had the opportunity to become immune to many
20、 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(免疫的)to it but only it.Colds are usually spread by direct contact, not sneezing or coughing. From another persons hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes
21、 is the most common route. The highest concentration of cold viruses anywhere is found under the thumbnails(拇指甲)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(消毒剂) soap, es
22、pecially when children in your household have colds.But even careful hygiene wont ward off every cold. So, what works when a coughing, sneezing, runny nose strikes?The old prescription(处方 )of two aspirins, lots of water, and bed rest is a good place to start. But youll also find some of the folk rem
23、edies worth trying. Hot mixtures of sugar (or honey), lemon, and water have real benefits.28.

When one is having a cold, he may often have all the following
26、 symptoms EXCEPT _.A. coughing B. having a sore throat C. having a stomachache D. having a runny noseDThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade”, and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and
27、daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include the hierarchy(等级) and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and
28、 daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldnt consider her my best friend. Best friends dont pay for your wedding. Best friends dont remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friend dont tell you how wise t
29、hey are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesnt mean that the mother and - 6 -daughter relationship cant be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult
30、 daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the
31、experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if they arent speaking for some unfortunate reason. The mother and child rel
32、ationship is still closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mothers emotional well-being. It isnt that they dont care deeply about their mothers. Its just that they shouldnt be burdened with their mothers well-being.The mother and dau
