Do you know the cold?
Everybody knows what happens when you catch a cold. First you sniffle(抽鼻涕) or get a more throat. Then you sneeze. After coughing and blowing your way through the next few days it’s over---until next time
Do you know what causes a cold, how it is spread or how to help prevent it? And which of the many medicines is best for your cold?
There is no known cure for the common cold. Once you catch a cold, your body usually produces antibodies(抗體) to the virus which caused the cold. These antibodies help the body develop resistance(抵抗力) to the virus if you catch it again. Unfortunately, over 200 different viruses cause the common cold. These viruses may change over time, so your resistance to them reduces. The large number of viruses and the fact that they change help explain why there is no cure for the common cold and why you will suffer colds in the future.
The colds increase in winter(usually between Septenber and March) but Not because of the cold! Cold weather has not been shown to increase the number of colds. People spend more time indoors in winter. They are therefore more likely to come into physical contact with each other and spread the disease. All these ideas remain to be proven. No one has been able to discover what really causes these colds
Common colds are spread by sneezes or by direct contact with a cold sufferer, usually when two people’ hands touch or an object is passed from one person to another. Sneezing spreads colds when someone sneezes near other people, or sneezes on objects which others later touch. A cold virus can survive up to three hours on hard surfaces.
The simplest and most effective way to lower the risk of catching a cold is to wash your hands frequently. Another important step in cold prevention is for cold sufferers to get rid of used tissues immediately after use.

In its latest move to fight online piracy (盜版), the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) has shut down hundreds of BT file-sharing websites, including the popular BTChina.net.
The name BT is short for Bit Torrent, one of the most common download methods used in China.As a result of sharing, the more people download the same thing, the faster the downloads get.Users can share software, music, movies, and digital books, TV dramas and pirated DVDs and CDs.
These BT sites were shut down either for operating without a license, or for breaking copyright law.The shutdown might have an immediate effect on the amount of downloads, but over time it will recover quickly, according to Aaron D.Hurvitz, a member of China’s intellectual property (知識產權) law firms.Netizens (網民) are beginning to search for new download sites.“The problem is, if you shut down the top two Bit-torrent sites, then people will simply go to number three, number four or number five on the list,” Hurvitz said.
Whether netizens like it or not, SARFT said the closed sites will have to solve the “copyright problem” if they want to reopen.Copyright should be protected.If you don’t pay for movies, investors lose money.Then no one will make movies in the future, experts say.
In the future, some experts say, the concept of “downloading” will disappear.You may not have to bother downloading content to your computer, but just enjoy it online.However, the concept of “copyright” will still be there, inspiring talented people to create new things, in which they take pride, and from which they make money.

  1. 1.

    Which of the following statements is TRUE?

    1. A.
      Some sharing websites were shut down for lack of licenses.
    2. B.
      Those closed websites will never be reopened.
    3. C.
      The speed must slow down if many people download the same thing.
    4. D.
      People won’t be able to enjoy content online in the future.
  2. 2.

    Through BT users CAN share ________.

    1. A.
      movies and hardware     
    2. B.
      e-books and TV dramas
    3. C.
      computer parts and music      
    4. D.
      copyright and pirated CDs
  3. 3.

      there are several choices to download resources
    2. B.
      how to find other ways to download resources

A new research shows that in Britain more and more people are returning to the old tradition that the whole family have a meal at table. Worrying about the obesity and breakdown of a family, people change their eating habits so greatly, according to analysis. They find the number of the family having a meal together increases by 5% from 2002 to 2004, and most people who have meals with their family come from the rich social class.
The new discovery makes doctors and the people struggling against obesity extremely excited. Giving up the tradition that the whole family have a meal together is exactly one of the reasons for a series of problems including children’s overweight.

He finds after he gets used to having a meal at home with his child, the child becomes much more obedient(聽話的).

The Ms. Foundation for Women started the program seventeen years ago, in 1993. At first it was just called Take Our Daughters to Work. Gloria Steinem and other foundation leaders pointed to studies showing that self-image suffers as girls become teenagers. They can lose trust in their abilities and intelligence, especially in areas like science, math and technology. So the Ms. Foundation planned a day for parents in New York City to show girls all the possibilities for them in the professional world. But there was so much interest, the organizers decided to make it national.
At first, girls mostly followed their mom or dad around at work to learn about their jobs. Later, employers and schools began to offer organized activities. But from the beginning there were protests(反對) from parents and others about the exception of boys. So in 2003 the day was renamed Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work.
2007 was the last year that the Ms. Foundation for Women headed the program. Now, the event is run by a twelve-person group called the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Foundation.
The event is connected with Mattel, the company that makes Barbie dolls.
Carolyn McKecuen is president of the foundation. She says a total of about thirty-three million children and adults are involved in the program. About one-third of the adults work at large companies or nonprofit organizations. Another third are in small businesses. The rest work in education.
Carolyn McKecuen says the numbers from this year's event are not final yet. But early reports suggest that participation was up at least ten percent from last year. And she says the foundation is hoping to find support to expand the program internationally. She says there are lots of requests from other countries for information about how to set up similar programs.

  1. 1.

    It was called Take Our Daughters to Work at first because ______.

    1. A.
      girls are considered to be clever than boys

      girls are considered to be more foolish than boys
    3. C.

    4. D.
      girls don’t want to learn some science subjects
  2. 2.

    Why was the day renamed as Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day later?

    1. A.
      Because some parents were against only girls’ having the chance.
    2. B.
      Because some parents wouldn’t like to take their daughters to work.
    3. C.
      Because some employers were against parents’ taking their children to work.

In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said “Stop! That’s our duck!”
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.
In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.
