Thats because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come.The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses flu A, B, C. There is no cure foe either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine, which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA.But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for.Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms.Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of rey syndrome, a rare but serious condition of the liver and the central nervous system.There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.31. According to the author, knowing the cause of the misery will help -. A) Shorten the duration of the illness.B) The patient buys medicine over the counter.C) The patient obtains cheaper prescription drugs.D) Prevent people from catching colds and the flu.32. We learn from the passage that -.A) One doesnt need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the flu.B) Aspirin should not be included in over-the-counter medicine for the flu.C) Delayed treatment of the flu will harm the liver and central nervous system.D) Over the counter drugs can be taken to ease the misery caused by a cold or the flu.33. According to the passage to combat flu effectively, -A) One should identify the virus, which causes it.B) One should consult a doctor as soon as possible.C) One should take medicine up on catching the disease.D) One should remain alert when the disease is spreading.34. Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold? A). Stuffy nose.B). A high temperature.C). A sore throat. D). A dry cough. 35. If children have flu-like symptoms, their parents-,A) Are advised not to give them aspirin.B) Should watch out for signs of Rey syndrome.C) Are encouraged to take them to hospital for vaccination.D) Should prevent them from mixing with people running a fever.Passage 2More than 125 years ago a farsighted young man with the vision of a pioneer tossed a news-carrying pigeon into the airand laid the foundations for the famous global news agency of Reuters. Today, in every country where newspapers are printed and radio stations transmit, the name Reuterssynonymous with rapid and informative newsis seen and heard in countless languages.From ore than 1100 reporters in 183 countries on all five continents well as from affiliated(附属的) national news agencies abroad, the news that makes the headlines streams night and day over teletypewriters, telephones, telex, cable circuits and radio monitors into the London headquarters of Reuters in Fleet Street. There short-sleeved teams of skilled sub-editors, working against the clock amid typewriters and teletypewriters, process and check the facts of hundreds of stories of events great and small. Split-second, ultramodern communications dispatch them to some 153 countries across the world. Within minutes of a major news break reaching the London headquarters, it is ticking out on Reuters teletypewriters in newspaper offices and radio stations in every continent.Paul Julius Reuters had a vision of a world system of news communications when he started his carrier pigeon service in the German town of Aachen to provide Stock Exchange news and market prices. Moving to London in 1851, he opened a “man and small boy” office and expanded into general news. Today, Reuters has one of the most extensive private news communications systems in the world: teletypewriters, video-display units, wire circuits and numerous radio-teletype channels encircle the globe.News tapped out in London is read a fraction of a second later in Sydney and Tokyo, New York and Singapore, Milan and Moscow, Berlin and Buenos Aires, In 1962, Reuters made history as the first news service to transmit news internationally through outer space using the satellite between London and New York.36.

If people went to a dance performance, they probably went to a ballet. This dance had precise moves and rigid postures. People enjoyed ballet, and it was widely accepted. However, at around that time a young woman from San Francisco entered the scene. She would change dance forever. Her name was Isadora Duncan.Duncan was born into an artistic family. Even as a child she loved dancing and taught dance classes for young children. She quickly developed some very strong ideas for what dance should be.Duncan took her inspiration from nature. She loved the Pacific Ocean and the towering pine trees of her native California. She wanted to represent these natural elements in her dances. She also looked at peoples natural movements, especially the movements of children. Running, skipping, kneeling - these were things done by children all over the world. Duncan incorporated them into dance routines. She believed that older dances were rather lifeless; hers, she felt, should express emotion. When Duncan performed her dances in places like Chicago and New York, she caused a sensation. People were not prepared to see a young woman in a thin, flowing dress running and leaping across the stage barefoot. She had to go to Europe for acceptance. Received more favorably in London, she gradually opened dance schools in many cities. Soon she was touring and performing everywhere. Her ideas paved the way for what we know as modern dance today.Duncans death was as startling as her life. As she rode in an open sports car in France, the long scarf around her neck tangled in the cars wheels and she was strangled.41.
