B During the two and a half years since I settled down in Germany, Ive caught a cold several times and gotten to experience how different German cold remedies (疗法）are from the Chinese ones.Back in Taiwan, whenever I had a streaming nose and a dry throat, Id rush to the hospital to get prescribed medicine. For a fever, I would receive a red pill, which I now know is a type of antibiotic (抗生素).Another thing I know now is that the criminal behind my cold is a virus. The drugs I used only relieved the symptoms. When I went to a German hospital intending to get some medicine to treat my cold, I got nothing more than a pat on my shoulder and words from the doctor, sayingthat I should get some really good rest. The first time this happened, I was shocked. I wondered how I could put up with my sickness without the help of medicine. But the longer I stayed in Germany, the better I knew how to self-medicate as other Germans do.I learned to take vitamin C to build up my resistance. But what I like the most is drinking “Erkaltungstee”. For German people, Erkaltungstee is what their grandmother gives them when they catch a cold. Its a tea bag mainly made of lime flower and orange rind. Another popular cold remedy in Germany is chicken soup. During my first winter in Germany, I got a really bad cold.

Germans believe these ingredients are perfect for helping your body recovers.25. How did the author feel after seeing the German doctor?A. Relieved. B. Surprised. C. Satisfied. D. Stressed.26.

However, few do it as frequently as Swedens Icehotel. Located in a remote village of Sweden, the hotel is constructed entirely from ice and therefore, has to be rebuilt annually.The 26-year-old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to attract winter visitors. Among the tourists was an adventurous group that announced their intention of spending the night in the building where the exhibition was being held. That s when the idea of building the icy accommodations occurred to the locals.Each year, the preparations begin in March and the construction starts in November. Within eight to twelve weeks, Icehotel is ready to welcome its first visitors until mid-April. After that, the beautiful structure will slowly melt into one giant pool.Among this years unique suite (套房）offerings is the Elephant in the Room. It features a 3-metre tallsculpted elephant overlooking an ice-framed bed. For those seeking something more cutting-edge, there are ones themed after a Swedish horror film and local fairytales. To get a good night s rest，guests have to snuggle inside their sleeping bags with gloves and hats on. Though that seems a little uncomfortable, visitors say it is an experience like none other.The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in glasses carved from ice. Though dining options are limited to the hotel s only restaurant, guests will have little to complain about with Michelin-trained chef Alexander Meier in charge. To keep customers entertained, the hotel offers a lot of fun activities like snowshoeing, dog sledding, and even overnight wilderness camping.32. What makes the Icehotel special?A.
