阅读下面短文,从先入为主后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

  Money is a blessing when it is used correctly.  1   is true of all other good things.They bless if used   2  ;they surse(诅咒)when misused.Many people do not seem to know   3   money is for.They want it above all other things.But they want to spend it chiefly on   4  

  Some boys and girls appear to   5   that money is used to buy good clothes,foods,toys and amusements.Some also seem to think that money is used to buy leisure(空闲).They   6   that the greatest happiness is to   7   without work.But that is not at all what money is for.We should get nearer to the   8   than that.

  Money is our circulating medium(流通手段)in trade.Families need it to buy things they must   9  .In this way society   10  ,and the world of traffic prospers(繁荣).Money means food,clothing,housing,schools,books,wise amuse ment,and the   11   of doing good.

  Of course money is not something to store.Its value   12   its use.A million gold dollars would have been   13   no more than a million stones   14   Robinson Crusoe on his island home.There was nothing to buy,and   15  ,no use for money.And so money that is   16   stored is of no value.It is not used to buy the necessaries of life,  17   help those who are in need.That is not what money is for.

  The Bible(《圣经》)  18   that“the love of money is the   19   of all evil”,That is,money sought only for its own sake(缘故)is the cause of all sorts of evillying,stealing,cheating,robbery,and   20   murder.This is the best reason for avoiding the love of money.

The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues (瘟疫) that flesh receives. The most widespread fallacy (谬误) 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 being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail 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 notorious Auschwitz concentration camp (奥斯维辛集中营), 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 dipped with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty 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.
  No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain-killer pills such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms.
【小题1】How many examples are offered by the writer to support his argument?

A.4 B.5 C.6 D.3
【小题2】Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage?
A.The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.
B.Colds are not caused by cold.
C.People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.
D.A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.
【小题3】Arctic explorers may catch colds when _______.
A.they are working in the isolated arctic regions
B.they are writing reports in terribly cold weather
C.they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions
D.they are coming into touch again with the outside world
【小题4】Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit _______.
A.suffered a lot B.never caught colds
C.often caught colds D.became very strong
【小题5】The passage mainly discusses _______.
A.the experiments on the common colds
B.the fallacy about the common cold
C.the reason and the way people catch colds
D.the continued spread of common colds
