Internal Medicine expert, Dr Meenakshi Jain of Max Hospital says, “One reason could be that people are likely to stay indoors, so the virus can spread easily． 3 ”
The common cold is a viral infection that can be caused by any of up to 250 strains of virus, the most common group of which are the rhinovirus that hit the nose．
4 “They are transmitted through the nose respiratory passages, by touch, and by contact with airborne particles that are created by sneezing or coughing,” says Dr Jain．
There is no cure for the common cold and antibiotics are of no help．However, there are some precautions which can help：
5 In this case, you can protect your hands from getting germs．
Don’t touch your eyes, nose and mouth, which can limit your chances of infection．

“OK, class．Count off(报数)by five．” 1 Sometimes, breaking into small groups lasts as long as the class does．Other times, it signals the start of a “group project”－which means you'll be working with a few classmates for a day, several days, or longer on an assignment(任务)．
2 Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people．Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you will probably have a job that requires working with others．Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone． 3
Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not know or talk with－maybe the quiet kid in the third row, or the boy who lived down the street when you were in kindergarten． 4 For example：working on a deadline(最后期限), staying organized, or being patient．And if you're a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint(联合的)project can help you become more comfortable with it．
5 If so, you'll know your whole group is rooting for you!
A．Few of us act alone in the real world．
B．Why is this type of project so popular in school?
C．With group work, you can actually learn more in less time．
D．Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project．
E．Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you're not so sure of．
F．When your teacher gives you that instruction, you know what's coming next．
G．One key to a good meeting is having a leader, who should help the group stay focused．
