Seventy percent of people who catch a cold feel better within a week, but it is unusual to have the common cold for as long as two weeks, ” says Gary Rogg, a medicine specialist (专家) at Montefiore Medical Center in New York. Why does your cold seem to be staying for longer than it should? Here are some possible reasons. Getting Less SleepSleep plays an important role in our system. In fact, a study proved that people who got less than seven hours of sleep per night were nearly three times more likely to catch a cold than people who slept for eight hours or more.Low on Water Water plays an important part in your body. If your cold wont go away, consider drinking more water.Treating the Wrong IllnessThe common cold can easily be mixed with other illnesses. Often, people believe they ve had a cold for a few weeks and may not realize that they arent getting better because they ve been treating the wrong illness.Exercising Too Hard “People ask me all the time, Should I exercise when I have a cold?” Katona says. “My answer is usuallyyes , but do it at a lower level.

Its the International Space Station (ISS) that moves around Earth. Nov 20 is the stations 20th birthday. In 1998, the first piece of the ISS was sent into space. Since then, 230 people from 18 countries have visited it. Five space agencies those of the United States, Russia, Canada, Europe and Japan- worked together to build it. Weighing about 450 tons, it contains many different parts.Generally, the ISS holds three to six people at one time. Astronauts living there work on a variety of different science projects. The ISS has hosted over 1, 500 such projects, according to NASA(美国航空航天局) But the stations hardware is aging. In 2011, Russia announced that the ISS will be retired (退役) in 2020 in order to prevent it from becoming dangerous space junk. However, the US later said it would use repairs to make its service life longer to 2025.The ISS costs 21-28 billion yuan to operate each year. Many believed that this money could be better spent improving conditions on Earth. In February, US President Donald Trump announced plans to end support for the ISS by 2025. The US will use its money for other projects, like next-generation rockets and deep-space missions. Although China is not part of the ISS program, it has helped with some of the stations experiments. China will soon have its own space station, becoming the third country after Russia and the US to do so. The station is set to be finished around 2020.36 .
