There are so many different stories about how to prevent or cure a cold . Its often difficult to know what to do . Although colds are rarely dangerous , except people who are already weak , such as the elderly or young babies , they are always uncomfortable and usually most unpleasant . Of course you can buy lots of medicines which will help to make your cold less unpleasant, but you must remember that nothing can actually cure a cold or make it go away faster . Another thing is that any medicine which is strong enough to make you feel better could be dangerous because you are already taking drugs for some other illness. So always check with your doctor to see whether they are all right for you. And remember they might make you sleepy. Lastly, as far as avoiding colds is concerned , whatever you may be told about magic food or drinks , the best answer is to keep strong and healthy. Youll have less chance of catching a cold, and if you do ,it shouldnt be so bad . True or False : 5 %( ) 1.A cold is only dangerous to old people .( )2.Its easy and faster for young and strong people to get over a cold .( )3.According to the writer there is no way to cure a cold .( )4.The best way to avoid colds is to keep strong and healthy .( )5.The stronger you are , the less chance you will catch a cold .() Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body .There are more times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice .Sweets and ice cream are not bad if we eat them at the end of a meal .If we eat them before a meal , they may take away our appetite (食欲)It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day .When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs food .When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat . A long time ago , in England , some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread .If the man could not eat the bread , it shows that he was telling lies. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish , it is indeed a very good way of finding out the fact .A man who is worrying something has difficulty in eating anything dry .Because he is worrying , he loses his appetite and does not want to eat .Choose the best answer : 5%( ) 1.Why must we have good eating habits ? Because _ .A. we want to eat more B. we want to enjoy our mealsC. we want to be healthy and strong D. we want to save time( ) 2.It is good to eat sweets and ice cream _ .A. when we are hungry B. when we want toC. after the meal D. before the meal ( ) 3.Wed better have our meals _.

A. has a better appetite B. like to tell lies C. likes to eat ice cream D. has a poor appetite( C )Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern airliner you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages. You can see the country you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners and riverboats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is very pleasant way to spend a holiday.Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish-where there is something interesting to see, at good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That is why traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or plane when they are traveling on business. Answer the following questions: 5%1. What is the best way of traveling from the passage?_.2. How do people usually take when they are on business, a car or a plane?_.3. Traveling by ship isnt so fast as by train, is it?_ , _.4.
