Many people catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder… if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can"t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn"t a cure for each one.
When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and cause a block in it. You feel terrible because you can"t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel miserable, but actually your wonderful body is doing every- thing it can to kill the cold.
Different people have different cures for Colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to make themselves" feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids (流汁). Other people take medicine to stop Various symptoms (症状) of colds.
There is one interesting thing to note" some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn"t have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:
It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don"t take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.

Some people succeed，while others may not．This is because some people possess certain qualities，which others do not．
The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed，you must be optimistic(乐观的)．If you do not expect to win，you will not try as hard as those who do expect to win．You also need to have a clear aim and a reason for doing something because motivation(动力)is a key to achieving success．If you do not have an aim，then you will not be motivated to work hard and put your performance under the microscope to make sure that every detail is right．
Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity(有创造力)-thinking about things in a different way and wondering how others would do the same thing．Think about some successful people you know．They might be successful with a little creativity，but the most successful people are the most creative ones．
Reading is another to success，as it will help you learn about how other people have achieved success．If you want to learn how to set up a successful business，you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang，who have achieved amazing success in their areas of business．
Practicing is also important if you want to succeed because practice makes perfect．Practise every day at whatever career you are in，and by doing so，you will see yourself，your business and your self-confidence begin to grow．If you feel confident about what you do，this confidence will make other people believe in you as well．Your colleagues will be happy to work with you，and your boss will give you more responsibility．Finally if you are a successful person，you will be able to look people in the eye and smile confidently．
Success is yours for the taking! Cheers!

A well-known English magazine invited five people to answer a series of
questions. One of the questions is: Do you enjoy foreign food? Match the name of each person to one of the statements given below.
56. John Harvey:
In fact if you go out to a restaurant, it’s very difficult to find the “British” cooking, but you can find almost anything else: French, Italian, Chinese, Indian and so on. London is full of foreign restaurants. I love trying “new dishes.” I think you can understand a lot about another culture from its food.
57. Jo Baker:
I like foreign food, but not all. I particularly do not like Indian food, although I quite enjoy a mild curry I make myself. I like most European dishes, but Spanish food is quite low down on my list. However, I think you have to travel a long way to beat good old English cooking. What can be nicer than the aroma of a piece of beef roasted in the oven, surrounded by crisp roast potatoes and served with piping hot Yorkshire puddings, vegetables and gravy? From my point of view, I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad. You see, that’s just part of the enjoyment of travelling to another country. Foreign food is also fine for an odd night out to restaurant, but for every day please give me good old English food.
58. Gabby Macadam:
On the whole I enjoy foreign food, but having said that I can think of dozens of foreign dishes which I simply can’t stand. You see, they have fish in some way or other and I never eat fish in any form. I have found that many foreign dishes are served with a kind of sauce. I think it is the accompanying sauce that hides all sorts of problems. I am not so sure that I would be as fond of them as I am if they were served without the sauce.
59. Len Dangerfield:
When we English people travel abroad, we always make a great fuss about studying the menu but always end up with steak. You see, when I’m abroad I always miss our home cooking. I mean, I’m used to English food. Sometimes I do go to restaurant to taste some exotic dishes, but most of the time I still prefer to have English food. You know, it’s always difficult to get used to food in other countries.
60. Peter Hawke:
I like foreign food. I particularly like Indian food. Well, I’m married to an Indian girl. She is a good cook. I’m so lucky to have her cook for me every day. I think Indian food as well as other foreign foods is generally tastier and spicier than English food. Traditional English dishes, like roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and fish and chips, are quite well-known abroad. But I must say as a nation we are not particularly good at catering. As far as I’m concerned, I think we should learn to cook more interesting dishes and make our food tastier and more varied.| A．Cooking varies from country to country even though the basic gradients may be very much the same. | | B．I can’t stand those foreign dishes which contain fish in some way or other, and I’m not so sure that I’m fond of many foreign dishes which are served with a kind sauce. | | C．I think foreign food is all right when you are abroad, but for every day, traditional English food is always my first choice. | | D．Foreign dishes can be tasted occasionally, but I find it difficult to adjust to the tastes. So I still prefer English food. |
E. I love foreign food, and I think people can understand a lot about another culture from what they eat.
F. English people should learn to cook more attractive dishes and make their food more delicious and varied. |
Jealous of the kids at school who are smarter than you and seem to learn more quickly? Don’t worry． 71
72 However, according to a recent study, IQ can rise—not just by one or two points, but by as many as 21 points!
Scientists have found that IQ changes are linked to changes in part of the brain called gray matter, which was seen to grow and become denser （更加密集） in the brains of people whose IQs improved greatly．
73 One is to train your short-term memory． Previous research has proven that short-term memory is the basis for intelligence, so trying to recognize or retell something that you have seen or heard can help raise your overall brain power． 74
A good night’s sleep will also help improve your concentration． 75 It helps you stay focused for longer the next day．
Scientists have also found that exercise helps． Walking 30 minutes a day five times a week and doing exercise will help you become more knowledgeable—as well as healthier and fitter．| A．There are several ways of increasing your brain’s gray matter． | | B．Your brain deals more efficiently with things you truly like． | | C．With a bit of brain training, the chances are that you can be as smart as they are． | | D．So maybe it’s a good idea to get your brain in training right away． |
E． Getting enough sleep is like pushing the reset button in your brain．
F． The more you work on it, the better you will become．
