A long red bridge stretches out across water.It runs across the Golden Gate.This is not the (41)G to some sacred land,but it is just as (42)A.The Golden Gate is where San Francisco Bay (43)C the Pacific Ocean,and at night the scene of the bridge (44)K up over the water takes your breath away.
Welcome to San Francisco,a place famous for its beautiful parks,hilly streets and lovely beaches.But the bridge is undoubtedly the most well-known symbol of the city.Before its completion in 1937,the bridge was considered impossible to build because of the foggy weather,powerful winds,and (45)E ocean currents in the city.However,despite the difficult conditions,the bridge was built in no more than four years.Its total length is nearly 2 kilometers.

According to the US 2010 census(人口普查),21percent of the city's population was made up of Chinese people.San Francisco's Chinatown is the largest outside of Asia and the oldest in North America.Two traditional festivals,the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival,are the biggest events of the year on the city's (48)I.
If yellow cabs are a key part of New York city life,then the cable car is San Francisco's equivalent.The first cable car came into public service in 1873,and the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of the city ever since.The cable car network was once(49)F by a serious earthquake but,luckily,it has now recovered and provides better(50)H than the subway.
20.The most widespread fallacy(谬论)of all is that colds are caused by cold.They are not.They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person.You catch a cold by coming into contact,directly or indirectly,with someone who already has one.If cold causes colds,it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever.But they do not.And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported people are free from colds until they come into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mails dropped from airplanes.
During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕),cold and wet,showed no increased tendency to catch colds.
In the Second World War prisoners at the Auschwitz concentration camp,naked and starving,were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the Common Cold Research Unit in England,volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.After taking hot baths,they put on bathing suits,allowed themselves to be with cold water,and then stood about dripping wet in a drafty(通风良好的)room.Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion.Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
If,then,cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds,why are they more frequent in the winter?Despite the most pains-taking research,no one has yet found the answer.One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times,and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.

4.The world,in painter Chen Xiao's eyes,is as colorful and sweet as ice cream.
At the opening of his latest exhibition,Colorful World in the Eyes of Sean Chen,at the National Museum of China recently,the artist told his story.
Chen left China for Australia in 1986 to seek artistic freedom,and like many new immigra nts(移民)then,he had little money in his pocket.To make ends meet,he drew portraits of people in the street.
Every day,he saw people buy ice cream from a shop.Chen couldn't help wondering:"It must taste great,that's why so many people buy it."But he didn't buy one for himself because he had to save money to support his studies.After four months of painting there and watching people eat ice cream,Chen didn't resist the temptation(诱惑)---he bought an ice cream."The first bite took me to heaven,"Chen recalls while laughing."You know,as a poor young man in a new country,an ice cream was too expensive then."Since then,he kept the taste of the ice cream in his heart and included the happy feelings in his paintings,which turn out to be colorful and sweet.
His current exhibition is part of his nationwide tour that began at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing in 2011.He plans to take his artworks to 24 cities around China by 2016.The exhibition at the National Art Museum of China will last until April 22.After the exhibition tour,he will sell his works through an auction(拍卖会),and all the money will be donated to protection of the environment in China."The natural environment of New Zealand has inspired my artwork and brought me enjoyment.I hope people in my home country can enjoy the same beautiful environment as I do,"says Chen,who has made New Zealand his home for the last 26 years.
