a. the eskimos suffer from colds from time to time. b. colds are not always caused by cold. c. people suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.d. a person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.【答案】d 【解析】细节理解题。根据根据 one explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times， and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on 可知人们得感冒不是因为喜欢呆在家里，而是因为经常呆在一起病毒更容易感染，故选 d。33. arctic explorers may
