The most common disease in the world is the cold. It often starts with a sore throat（咽部疼痛）. You sneeze (打喷嚏) and your nose runs. You usually have a headache, too. Often you have a cough later. It's not a serious disease, but you can feel quite bad.
There isn't a cure (良药 ) for a cold, but you can take medicines to make you feel better. For example, you can take aspirin (阿司匹林) to get rid of your headache. It is good to rest, and to drink a lot of water, too. A doctor once told me, "With the right medicine, a cold will last for seven days. With no medicine, it will go on for a whole week!"
Where does our medicine come from? A long time ago, people understood that some plants made them feel better. They ate the leaves, the roots , the fruit or the seeds  of plants. For example, the juice of lemons (柠檬) makes a sore throat feel better. In modern times, scientists have looked at these plants, and found out which chemicals (化学药品) are in them. Many of our medicines today are made from those chemicals. There are some diseases that we can't cure yet. And nobody has found a cure for old age. But because of modern medicines, the average (平均的) person now lives longer than their grandparents.

Well, Mrs. Evans, I’ve done my best to look after David. I’ve tidied his room up every day, got him a meal together whenever he needed one and made sure he’s always had a clean shirt to put on. It’s not been easy, with two of my own to worry about, as well. David had the best of attention, I must say. But now because I asked him to give up bringing that American friend to his home he has got quite miserable and unfriendly. He comes in at all hours and his behavior---- well, it’s quite hard to put up with---- and it’s all because of this friend. I’m sure he’s a bad influence. You see, David’s a visitor and doesn’t fully understand our ways.
He used to study most evenings. He’s got through quite a bit of work. He did up his room quite nicely, with bookshelves and large posters. He’d ask Mr. Smith and me up for a drink and cheer us up with songs from his country. He’s very good at the guitar, you know.
I don’t want to appear as if I’m running after him, but it’s about time we made it up. I’m sure he’s upset because I told him off. It might be a good idea to take him out for a meal, perhaps even with his friend. I don’t know whether it will do any good but we can try. I’m glad I’ve had this little chat with you, Mrs. Evans, and I’ll let you know how I get on.

As a young man, Al was a skilled artist.He had a wife and two fine sons.One night, his oldest son developed a serious stomachache.Thinking it was only some1intestinal (肠内的)disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously.But the boy2suddenly that night.
Knowing the death could have been3if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, Al's emotional health became worse under the huge burden(重负) of his4 .To make matters worse his wife5him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son.The hurt and pain of the two6were more than Al could handle, and he7to alcohol(烈酒).In time Al became an alcoholic.

When I heard of Al's death, I thought that Al's life was a complete11.
As time went by, I began to reconsider my earlier judgment.I knew Al's now12son, Ernie.He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known.I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free13of love between them.I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.
I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his14.One day I worked15my courage to ask him."I'm really16 by something," I said."I know your father was17 the only one to raise you.What on earth did he do that you became such a special person?"
Ernie sat quietly and18 for a few moments.Then he said, "From my earliest19 as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ' I love you, son.' "
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to20 Al as a failure.He had not left any material possessions behind.But he had been a kind loving father, and he left behind one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known.

What kind of car will we be driving in 2020? Rather different from the1we know today, with the next 12 years bringing greater changes than the past 60. The people who will be2the models of tomorrow believe that3problems may well increase the speed of the car’s development. Today they are students on the4design course at London’s Royal College of Art.
Their imagination is of a machine with three wheels instead of four, 5powered, environmentally friendly , and able to drive itself along6roads equipped with built-in power supplies. Future cars will7their fuel during long journeys from power companies built into the road, or store it in small quantities for travelling in the street.
This view of the future car is8on a much more super road system, with strips built into motorways to supply power to vehicles passing along them. Cars will not need drivers, because computers will provide safe driving control and route finding. All the driver will have to do is to say where to go and the computer will do the rest. It will become9for cars to crash into one another. The10already exists for the car to become a true automobile in the future.

Robert Moody, 52, is an experienced police officer. Much of his work involves dealing with1—an gang (团伙)problems in the schools of his community. Knowing that many kids often 2trouble, he decided to do something about it. So in 1991 he began to invite small groups of kids to go fishing with him on his day3.
Those fun trips had a(n)4impact. A chance encounter(偶遇) in 2000 proved that. One day,5working security at a school basketball game, Moody noticed two young guys6.He sensed trouble between them. 7one of them headed toward Moody and gave him a hug.” I 8you. You took me9when I was in fifth grade. That was one of the10days of my life .”
Deeply touched by the boy’s word, Moody decided to create a foundation（基金会）that11teenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs. “As a policeman, I saw12there was violence, drugs were always behind it. They have a damaging13on the kids,” says Moody.
By turning kids on to fishing, he14to present an alternative way of life, “When you’re sitting there waiting for a15,”he says, “you can’t help but talk to each other, and such16can be pretty deep.”
“Talking about drugs helped prepare me for the peer（同龄人）pressures in high school,” says Michelle, 17 who17the first program. “And I was able to help my little brother18drugs.”
Moody faces   19 in three years, when he hopes to run the foundation full-time.” I’m living a happy life and I have a responsibility to my   20 to give back,” Moody says.” If I teach a kid to fish today, he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow.”

As I listened, I closed my eyes.I found myself 4 those memorable moments.My mind was full of warm images of Russ as a loving, caring youth, a gentle soul, 5 his challenges.And now, as he stood at the platform, I knew his heart 6 be racing.As Russ continued to speak, I thought about the fateful day when he was diagnosed with all those impairments(损伤) and how 7 his tutors would be if they could see him today.Here he was at twenty-nine, being honored for ten years of service as a volunteer 8.Russ was 9 for organizing clothing for the homeless, teaching preschool children about fire safety, and for playing Santa Claus for very sick children by driving up in a fire truck.
Russ thanked his parents for providing him with dignity and for teaching him about morals.Then, pausing for a few seconds, he 10 us by surprise by touching lovingly on the 11 of his nephew, Austin.Austin was just three years old when he died from an incurable disease.At that moment, I had to close my eyes again 12 a different set of tears ran down my cheeks.A silence 13 the room as Russ owed his volunteer award to Austin.He 14 his address by lifting up the audience with these words, “Austin taught me how to love.”
I have never thought of this day.15, no one had ever thought that Russ would made 16 as the star of the football team, and he had never been voted “most likely to succeed,” but he 17 to be a true “star” in his community.Russ became a man of strong character 18 his unselfish service to others.With so many impairments, Russ now sees and acts 19 with his heart.His words and deeds inspire everyone who knows him.It is Russ, our son, who has shown us what 20 is.

Once there lived a rich merchant(商人) and a poor shoemaker in the same house. The merchant occupied the second floor,1the shoemaker lived and worked in a small room on the first floor. The shoemaker was one of the2persons on earth. He worked from morning till night, singing merrily. His heart was filled with3, whenever he saw the boots and shoes4. Now the merchant upstairs was so rich that he5knew how much wealth(财产) he had. He was always6over his gold and silver coins far into the night. Even in bed his uneasiness(不安) about his riches kept him7. When at last he had been asleep for an hour or two, up came the song of the happy shoemaker, who was an8riser. It continued all day and was a(n)9to the merchant. Day by day the merchant grew more and more tired through want of 10. He asked a wise friend of his how he could put an11to the shoemaker’s song. “Well, if I were you, I would give the shoemaker a hundred pounds,” answered his friend. “You are rich enough to do that, I suppose. Ask for nothing in12. Simply give the money.” The merchant13the advice.
When the shoemaker14the bag that had been sent by the merchant, he was15to find shining coins. “I must hide this from the eyes of my neighbors. If they see it, they will think that I have stolen it,” he thought. “I will16it away even from my wife.” So he hid the bag of money under the floor. From then on he17his neighbors as much as he could. His wife who had been the best18to him, became troublesome. Now his mind was too much set on the money bag to19 to his work with diligence(勤劳). He could not sing merrily now.20he thought of the money bag, he became uneasy and unhappy.

There are reasons why a middle-aged woman who has been away from the work for her children’s sake decides to go back to work. The1reason for me was: years ago my job was that of a bookkeeper(会计)----- it was then that I worked for 2, and now with my children working, I wanted to do something 3, something new and exciting.
Money wasn’t too important now, as my husband made a very 4living for us. But what should I do? What sort of 5should I look for? I knew I needed to be6as to what I became involved with. I am not a "quitter"(容易放弃的人) and so I hoped to7becoming responsible to an employer in a job that might turn out to be a mistake for me.
While I made painful efforts thinking over what to do, I was8of a past incident where I needed to replace my original engagement ring 9the gold was wearing thin. My husband and I shopped and shopped for one,10 we went, even when we were on vacation.11 this nonstop searching got my poor12 to ask, "Just what kind of ring do you want, what exactly are we looking for?" My reply was, "I honestly don’t13, but when I see the correct setting, I will know it." That was the 14I felt about the new career I wished to start; I didn’t have an exact idea as to what I wanted to do, but knew there was a perfect fit for me, if I would 15be patient.
Fortunately, that summer while I 16my twenty-fifth high school class reunion(重聚), I heard a former classmate 17what she did for a living. She was a travel agent, and she and her husband had just18 from a trip to Hawaii where they acted as guides for a group of travelers. WOW, that19like fun, considerably more fun and exciting than being a 20: I know what to take up!
