The most widespread fallacy (谬误) of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are
caused by viruses(病毒) 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 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 with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet (湿透) in drafty (通风的) 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 time,
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 suppressors(止痛片) such as
aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms.
B. 5
C. 6
D. 3
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
B. never caught colds
C. often caught colds
D. became very strong
B. the fallacy about the common cold
C. the reason and the way people catch colds
D. the continued spread of common colds

manners doesn"t hurt others" feelings, and therefore he"s on good terms with everyone. In this way he
helps to keep the peace in society.
But a man with bad manners has no respect for others. He uses words carelessly and behaves rudely
towards others and causes a lot of unpleasantness. In the end, he himself will suffer the most. Everyone
avoids him and he is forced to live alone.
To live well in society, money alone is not enough. Even the richest man cannot afford to have bad
manners. He may have enough money to buy all things he wants; but if his manners are bad, he will have
no friends, and no one can live happily without friends.
We should have good manners, for it"s human nature to try to get friendship; and friendship has to be
earned (获得)through our own attitude towards others. If we are kind to others, they will be kind to us,
and kindness is the most basic quality of good manners. Bad manners drive away friends as well as our
own family members.
On the other hand, a man with good manners has many friends. He commands the respect of all those who come into contact (联系) with him. He doesn"t talk ill about others. Even when he"s provoked, he
tries his best not to upset others. He also feels sorry about the weak and the disabled.
There are, however, many people who behave so well outside their homes that they are respected by
everyone outside. But in their own homes they are worse than the devil (魔鬼). Such people cannot be
said to have good manners. Their behavior will soon be discovered by others.
If one"s manners are good, one behaves well everywhere, even when one is away from the critical (爱挑剔的) eyes of others. Only such a person can live well in society.
B. enjoyment
C. respect
D. friendship
B. Bad manners make people lose friends.
C. Money is not the most important.
D. Kind people will be treated kindly.
B. sad
C. made angry
D. left alone
B. Friendship is important.
C. Good manners are important.
D. People with bad manners can"t live well.
stations and TV shows, music Web sites, or the music that your friends and family members enjoy. While
you probably know a lot about your favorite type of music, it can be a rewarding experience to enlarge
your horizons (眼界), discovering artists and types of music that you"re not familiar with. Who knows,
you might discover you like certain types of music you never even considered.
Have you ever wondered about the history and influences of your favorite types of music ? For
example, did you know that rock "n" roll originated (起源) from the blues, and that the blues began as a
form of musical expression for African Americans during slavery (奴隶制度)? Did you know that most
hip-hop is heavily influenced by early rhythm blues and jazz ?
There are many fun ways to learn about different musical styles and their historical roots. For example,
if you like hip-hop, listen to some of your favorite CDs and take note of the samples the performers used
to create the songs. There is a possibility that the artist used parts of older songs to create the music. You
can go to the library or online to learn more about the artists and listen to more of their music by checking out CDs from the library or downloading songs online for a small fee.
You can learn so much about culture and history just by paying attention to different types of music
and what is being expressed in the songs. There are so many different styles of music to learn about, and
you owe(欠)it to yourself to make an effort to listen to and learn about them.
B. performing music
C. enjoying your favorite music
D. learning about music
B. The blues.
C. Hip-hop.
D. Jazz.
B. By creating music from older songs yourself.
C. By caring about what is being expressed in music.
D. By keeping a record of fees after downloading songs online.
B. you should return something to music
C. you should borrow music CDs from others
D. you should buy music CDs yourself
Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages: English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these-Quebec is known as "French Canada". This is
because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.?
Canada left the British empire (帝国) in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and
French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.?
Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast
in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French
television is very rare.?
The same goes for traffic signs and menus. For example, outside of Quebec, there are only a few
places where you"ll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it"s almost impossible to find French on the
menu unless you are in the heartland (中心地带) of French Canada. However, all products sold in
Canada must, by law, have labels (标签) and instructions in both languages.?
In Canada"s English speaking provinces, official bilingualism (双语) means that students can choose
to complete a special French language course. Under this programme, they are taught most of their
subjects in French.?
If a student begins the course in kindergarten (幼儿园) or Grade One, it is likely that all their lessons
will be in French. However, if they start at junior high school,25 per cent of the teaching will continue to
be in English.?
B. Nine.
C. Eleven.
D.Two.?
B. Britain.
C. America.
D. Germany.?
B. The two national television networks broadcast both in English and French.?
C. All products sold in Canada must,by law,have labels and instructions in both English and French.?
D. The lessons in kindergarten or Grade One are likely to be only in English.?
signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.
For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with
people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before
they do any job. In many European countries - like the UK or France - people find it easier to build up a
lasting working relationship at restaurants or caf?s rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had
expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead, there was an uncomfortable
silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I
realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through
words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and
German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.
We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite
against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a
wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
B. too many words are of no use
C. even talk and silence can be culturally different
D. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
B. By accepting different habits.
C. By recognizing different values.
D. By speaking each other"s languages.
B. Cross-Cultural Differences
C. How to Understand Each Other
D. How to Build Up a Relationship
Greeks in ancient times believed in many deities (神) or gods. One way they showed their devotion to
gods was to build temples in their honor.
A Shaky Start
The Greeks were building the original Parthenon in about 480 B.C. when the Persians captured
Athens.The Greeks swore an oath (誓言) called "The Oath of Plateau". They swore to fight to death.
They also vowed never to rebuild the city"s monuments. The Greeks survived the invasion. They used the
remains of the monuments to build a defensive wall around the city. After thirty years" peace, the Greeks
broke their oath.Their ruler, Pericles, ordered the rebuilding of Athens. They started work on Parthenon.
Fit for a Godness
The Greeks used expensive white marble to build the Parthenon. The Parthenon was 60 feet high and was surrounded by 46 tall Doric columns. The temple was decorated with many sculptures. A continuous
sculpture formed a border around the outside of the building. This horizontal band is called a frieze. Only
325 feet of the original 525 feet of the frieze still exist. A huge 40-foot gilt and ivory statue of Athena was
placed inside the temple.
Changes in Purpose
Over time, many different groups of people used the Parthenon. It was first a Greek temple. Then in
the sixth century, Christians made it a church. Later, in the 1400s, Muslins used it as a mosque. At one
point, it was nearly destroyed by war. Turkish invaders used it to store ammunition. An explosion
destroyed the inside of the building.
The Parthenon stands as a ruin today. Pollution has harmed the outside. Despite the changes over
time, the Parthenon remains one of the most famous buildings in the world.
B. a church
C. a storehouse
D. a mosquito net
B. They had no money to rebuild it.
C. They were angry with Athena for allowing the invasion.
D. They had sworn an oath not to rebuild.
B. Passing of time, an explosion and pollution.
C. An explosion, a volcanic eruption and an earthquake.
D. Pollution, rain and wind.
