Contrary to popular belief, colds are not caused by (26) severe weather. Colds are caused by viruses (27) in the body, and youre better off out
18、 on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a (28) warm room surrounded by friends, co-workers, or fellow students, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill when youre coming down with a cold, youre already sick. A chill is an early (29) : its t
19、he cold that caused the chill, not the other way around.While the virus can spread through droplets (30) the air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes, surprisingly, this is not the most common route of (31) . Numerous studies have now shown that the (32) majority of colds are “caught“ by hand cont
20、act. A cold-sufferer rubs her nose, (33) transferring the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit.“Dont kiss me,“ she cautions, so the friend steps back and presses her hand. The friend then wipes her own nose or eyeand several days later (34) cold. Or parents pick up their childs discarded
21、tissues and carefully throw them away, but fail to wash their hands afterward.Cold viruses also can be transferred to objectstelephones, towels, platesand remain (35) for up to three hours. Frequent hand-washingon the part of the cold-sufferer as well as other members of the householdwill minimize t

Theyre worried about the environmental
23、 effects of the BP oil spill on the Gulf of Mexico. Theyre worried about the economic future of their region, whether fishing will ever (36) back, whether the tourists who stayed away from the Gulf Coast this summer will return once the spill has been (37) up.But theyre also worried about what the o
24、il spill might be doing to them. Cleanup workers are worried about the effects of being around the spill, of breathing in oil fumes and handling tar-balls. Diners are worried about whether Gulf seafood is safe to eat. Parents are worried about what the oil might do to (38) children, whether there co
25、uld be some long-term impacts that arent obvious right now.The government has tried to offer some (39) . The Food and Drug Administration is testing Gulf seafood and so far hasnt found any (40) of lingering toxicity. The Environmental Protection Agency is testing air and water quality; again, so far
26、, so good.But as a new paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows, we still dont have a very good fix on what the health impacts of such a major spill might be. Though we know that oil contains dangerous chemicals which can be (41) , the truth is, were only now beginning to do th

28、e do know is that (43) to fresh oil, especially in large quantities, can make people (44) sick. Oil contains volatile organic compounds like benzene and toluene. Such compounds (45) quickly once the oil hits the surface, but they can cause respiratory distress if people come into contact with them.A

30、source for Students, Parents and Home-SchoolersA. Lets face it, most people dont like maths! But in todays world, a sound basic understanding of mathematics is the foundation for many occupations and careers. One of the problems of the past 30 years in maths educationas in other subject areas such a
31、s English and historyis that there has been less emphasis on getting the basics right, and many people have suffered as a consequence.B. The Internet provides new opportunities for students, parents and home-schoolers to access quality maths courses, and a number of excellent Internet-based maths si
32、tes have been developed in Australia, which provide interactive instruction in this important area.C. For primary school children, there is Smartkiddies Mathematics(.au); for middle school students there is Cambridges HotMaths (.au); and for secondary students, Maths Online (.au), which is one of th
33、e best of them. These programs are all interactive, and have attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of students, parents and teachers around the country.D. Maths Online was a commercial product, like the other online programs; but after being sponsored by McDonalds Restaurants, it is now a
34、vailable free for students, parents and teachers. The level of interest in this program is phenomenal, although it has been the subject of little media interest. According to the Maths Online website, since the program was introduced a year ago, an extraordinary 1750 schools, 145000 families and 750
35、000 students have enrolled in the program.E. Developed by Australian maths teachers, Maths Online is based on the Australian state maths curriculum for years 7-12. The program contains hundreds of complete maths lessons, which take students from the simplest concepts to the more complex, in relative
36、ly short stages. At the end of each lesson, students are given a test (called a worksheet) to ensure that they have understood the unit.F. When a student completes the worksheet, which they are asked to print out, and complete with pen and paper, the student then sends the answers to Maths Online wh
37、ich marks the students work, and returns it to the student. The results of students work are kept in individual student files, and the student is given feedback on problem areas.G. The program is cleverly structured to supplement what students learn at school, and can be used independently of the sc
38、hool curriculum. At the same time, Maths Online encourages teachers to sign up, and to use the program to provide independent evaluation of their students work, with reports on students progress in individual units, as well as the whole course.H. As most people know, one of the main difficulties whi
39、ch students have with mathematics is that if the foundations are not securely understood, it is very difficult to understand and apply concepts which are based on those foundations. If students are absent from school for only a few days, it can mean there are some areas of the course which they have
40、 not studied and do not understand. Sometimes teachers are incapable of explaining mathematical ideas in terms which students can understand. And many students are too shy to admit they just dont understand what is being taught.I. The beauty of Maths Online is that it brings to light those concepts
41、which a student has not understood, and will encourage the student (or teacher) to repeat the exercise, until it is mastered. Students can study in their own time, and at their own pace. And if they are using a computer and accessing the Internet, this is a very good way to learn. Unlike many school
42、 programs, the beauty of this approach is that parents are involved every step of the way.J. In fact, for home-schoolers, it provides an opportunity to access first-class educational material, at no cost. Home-schooling parents can enroll, using the family account. Even for students who are gifted i
43、n maths, this program is very valuable. It provides them with an opportunity to preview lessons at home before they are taught at school. This is a very powerful tool, as it gives students an opportunity to have two different approaches to a particular subject, and also gives them an opportunity to
44、see how a particular unit fits into the whole course.K. Every student, parent and teacher has access to the entire Year 7-12 curriculum, which means that a student can go backwards, if necessary, to review a particular unit which might have caused difficulty in the past, or is needed as a foundation
45、 for a later unit of study. For maths teachers, Maths Online provides a virtual administration centre, from which teachers can monitor the progress of every student. This is very similar conceptually to what head teachers have in schools today. It creates a roll of teachers and students, assigns stu
46、dents and teachers to classes, permits the removal of students and teachers, sets tasks to be performed, sets the academic standard, and allows instant monitoring of each students progress.L. The tasks to be performed include a start and end date, and the number of students involved in any particula
47、r task. This allows teachers to ensure that students are keeping up with the set work, as well as monitoring students results. Teachers who are going to be absent from school can also set tasks into the future, so that in the event of a prolonged absence, students can be set work, with each one havi
48、ng a unique “reveal date“, when a student is notified of a task, and a unique “due date“.M. A potential use of this program which should not be ignored is adult education. There are many adults who failed to get a handle on maths while at school. Maths Online lets people create their own accounts, and simply work their way through the program at their own pace.N. M
