18、Colds are caused by viruses (病毒 ) harbored in the body, and you re better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a warm room, surrounded by friends, co-workers, or fellow students, who just may be passing the viruses around. If you feel a chill when you

19、re coming down with a cold, you re already sick. A chill is an early symptom: it s the cold that caused the chill, not the other way around. While the virus can spread through droplets (飞沫 ) propelled into the air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes. Surprisingly, this is not the most common rout

20、e of transmission. Numerous studies have now shown that the overwhelming majority of colds are “ caught“ by hand contact. A cold sufferer rubs her nose, thereby transferring the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit. “ Don t kiss me,“ she cautions, so the friend steps back and presses her

21、hand. The friend then wipes her own nose or eye, and several days later is stricken with a cold. Or parents pick up their child s discarded(丢弃的 )tissues and carefully throw them away, but fail to wash their hands afterward. Cold viruses also can be transferred to objectstelephones, towels, plates an

22、d remain infectious for up to three hours. Frequent hand-washingon the part of the cold sufferer as well as other members of the householdwill minimize the spread of viruses in this way. 36 According to the author, we are most likely to catch a cold if we_. （ A） attend a party with a lot of people （

23、 B） stay long hours in the street on a snowy day （ C） go out on an extremely cold and windy day （ D） go skiing or skating in the open air 37 From what the author says, we can infer that “ Exposure to severe weather causes colds. “ is （ A） only a supposition of doctors （ B） still the view held by man

24、y people （ C） an out-of-date view of people in the past （ D） a fact already proven by doctors 38 To prevent viruses from spreading, we should_. （ A） shake hands with our friends instead of kissing them （ B） never touch the telephones, towels or plates （ C） often wash our hands （ D） often rub our nos

25、es and eyes 39 Man is most likely to be stricken with a cold if_. （ A） he often rubs his eyes or nose （ B） he fails to expose the cold viruses to air （ C） he visits his friend in a warm room （ D） he shakes hands with a cold-sufferer 40 The best title for this passage might be_. （ A） Colds and Viruse

They h

27、ave discovered that the arrangement of taste buds (舌部味蕾 ) on the tongue varies for different body types. The scientist team examined 1,000 British adults and divided them into three physiologically recognized body typesectomorphs, endomorphs and mesomorphs. They determined that a person s body type

28、indicated where they were likely to have the most taste buds on the sweet, bitter or salty areas of their tongue. The study showed that ectomorphs, who make up one in three of the population, usually have a small delicate shape, have a sweet tooth but hate bitter foods. Mesomorphs, who make up 20 pe

29、rcent of the population, usually have a muscular shape and prefer salty or bitter foods but dislike sweet foods. Half the British population are endomorphy with soft, rounded bodies, and they like most foods. The findings showed that for two in three people food preference was a physiological rather

30、 than a psychological choice. Body shape expert Simon Bradshaw, who takes charge of this team, said: “ It appears that simply by looking at an individual s body shape we can make sure about their preferences. “ But Catherine Collins, of the British Dietetic Association said:“ It is difficult to dict

31、ate whether our body shape dictates the food we like, or the food we like dictates body shape. “ It stands to reason people who prefer most types of foods will be fatter and people who are the endomorph shape tend to find it more difficult to lose weight. 41 The whole passage is mainly about_. （ A）
