Age plays a major part in people who are infected with cold, ie, in people who suffer from cold infection. A study done by University of Michigan, has shown information that seems to be true for the general population. Babies are the most cold infected group, generally more than six colds in their first years. Boys have more colds than girls up to the age of three. After three, girls are easier to get infected with cold than boys, and teenage girls get three colds a year to boys’ two. The general cold infections continue to get less into adults. Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two cold every year. One interesting thing is found among people in their twenties, especially women, who show a rise in cold infection, because people in this age are most likely to have young children.

The study has also found that economy plays an important role as well. With more and more income, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family is getting lower and lower. Families with the lowest income usually suffer about a third more colds than families at the upper end. Lower income usually forces people to live in rooms more crowded than rooms owned by richer people, and the crowding usually leads to more chances for the cold virus to travel from person to person. Low income may also have an effect on our diet. Many scientists believe that a poorer diet usually leads into more possibilities of cold infection.

1.Which of the age groups has the highest frequency of cold infection?

       A.Small babies      B.Teenage boys     C.Adult women     D.Elderly people

3.How does economy play an important role in cold infection?

A.Families with lower income suffer less from cold infection

B.People who have lower income enjoy living in crowded rooms

C.Rich families can have better nutrition and never get infected

D.People with higher income have fewer chances of infection

An important factor that plays a part in susceptibility (易受影響) to colds is age.A study done by the University of Michigan School of Public Health indicated the fact that seems to hold true for the general population.Babies are the group suffering most from colds, averaging more than six colds in their first years.Boys have more colds than girls up to age three.After the age of three, girls are more susceptible than boys, and teenage girls average three colds a year to boy's two.

The general frequency of colds continues to decline into adults.Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds annually.One exception is found among people in their twenties, especially women, who show a rise in cold infections(感染), because people to this age group are most likely to have young children.Adults who delay having children until their thirties and forties experience the same sudden increase in cold infections.

The study also found that economics (經(jīng)濟狀況) plays an important role.As income increases, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family decreases.Families with the lowest income suffer about a third more colds than families at the upper end.Lower income generally forces people to live in closer quarters than those typically occupied by wealthier people, and crowding increases the opportunities for the cold virus to travel from person to person.Low income may also influence diet.The degree to which poor nutrition affects susceptibility to colds is not yet clearly proved, but an inadequate diet is suspected of lowering resistance generally.

1.What factors cause people to catch colds easily?

       A.Age and pregnancy.

B.Health and pregnancy.

       C.Health and economics.

D.Age and economics.

2.Why does the lowest income lead to the rapid spread of colds?

       A.Because poor people can't afford to go to see a doctor.

       B.Because balanced diet has definitely affected poor people.

       C.Because people with the lowest income have limited living space.

       D.Because cold virus don't have opportunities to travel in poor families.

3.How does the study prove that age plays a part in susceptibility to colds?

       A.Using comparison.                   B.Using graphs.

       C.Using description.                   D.Using argument.

4.What can you learn from the passage?

       A.Families with the lowest income suffer less colds than rich families.

       B.The general frequency of colds are likely to increase among the poor.
