No other diseases occur so often as the common cold. We call it “common” because everybody may have one sooner or later.

The symptoms of the common cold appear within a few days of infection. Once a man is affected by the common cold, he usually suffers from cough and fever. He is asked to drink much water and have a good rest, Some medicinal (药物的) herbs are often used to treat colds. Aspirin may be given to relieve symptoms.

Although the common cold is not serious in itself, many of its complications (并发症) are. Of these, the most common are bronchitis and pneumonia.

What can we do to prevent a cold?

Scratchy throats, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold or flu may make a difference in how long the misery lasts.

The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds and the flu(流感), and one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. That's because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come.

The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses - flu A, B and C. There is no cure for either illness , but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine, which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA. But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have many similarities , there are some obvious signs to look for.

Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms.

The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like symptoms.

Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome(综合症) ，a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system.

There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.

According to the author, knowing the cause of the misery will help ________.

　A) shorten the duration of the illness

　B) the patient buy medicine over the counter

　C) the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugs

　D) prevent people from catching colds and the flu

We learn from the passage that ___________.

A) one doesn't need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the flu

B) aspirin should not be included in over-the-counter medicines for the flu

D) over-the-counter drugs can be taken to ease the misery caused by a cold or the flu

According to the passage, to combat the flu effectively, ___________.

A) one should identify the virus which causes it

B) one should consult a doctor as soon as possible

C) one should take medicine upon catching the disease

D) one should remain alert when the disease is spreading

　　The technology is great. Without it we wouldn’t have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean’s depths or eat microwave sausages. Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge. But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.

　　Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who’ve come into their surgery waving an Internet print-out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer. The truth is usually far more ordinary, though: they don’t have throat cancer, and it’s just that their throats are swollen. Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-checks.

　　One day Mrs. Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work. While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what’s wrong; I’ve got throat cancer. I know there’s nothing you doctors can do about it and I’ve just got to wait until the day comes.”

　　As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray. I looked at it and the blood results an hour later. Something wasn’t right. “Did your local doctor do an X-ray?” I asked. “Oh, I haven’t been to the doctor for years,” she replied. “I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted, so I knew that’s what I had.”

　　However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn’t fit with it—but she’d just ignored this.

　　I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn’t the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)—something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly. She was lucky we caught it when we did.

　　Mrs. Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered. It was certainly a lesson for her. “I’m so embarrassed,” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested. She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes. Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it. Typical. Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?

　　63. Mrs. Almond talked about her illness calmly because ______.

　　A. she thought she knew it well

　　B. she had purchased medicine online

　　C. she graduated from a medical school

　　D. she had been treated by local doctors

　　64. It was lucky for Mrs. Almond ______.

　　A. to have contacted many friends

　　B. to have recovered in a short time

　　C. to have her assumption confirmed

　　D. to have her disease identified in time

　　65. Mrs. Almond said “I’m so embarrassed” (Para. 7) because ______.

　　A. she had distrusted her close friends

　　B. she had caused unnecessary trouble

　　C. she had to refuse the doctor’s advice

　　D. she had to tell the truth to the doctor

　　66. By mentioning the breakdown of the computer, the author probably wants to prove ______.

　　A. it’s a must to take a break at work

　　B. it’s vital to believe in IT professionals

　　C. it’s unwise to simply rely on technology

　　D. it’s a danger to work long hours on computers
