25、 are caused by coldThey are notThey are caused by viruses passing on from person to personYou catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has oneIf cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them foreverBut they do notAnd

26、in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected(感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanesAt the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they g

27、ave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of timeAfter taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused(浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping（滴干） wet in drafty（通风的） roomsSomewore wet socks all day while others exercised in the

28、 rain until close to exhaustionNot one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his noseIf cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? In spite of the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the ans

29、werOne 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 onNo one has yet found a cure for the coldThere are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to

30、 relieve the symptoms51.

BThere have been a number of occasions through the years that I had to sit at the feet of a theologian (神学家).Some of those times, I came

34、 away wondering what on earth the man was talking about. That was not the case when I heard Dr. Randy Harris. He suggested that a lot of our day-to-day problems in the world be solved by simply keeping our promises. Too many people do not take such matters seriously. Are you serious in keeping your

35、promises?Some of my most anxious moments in over a half-century of ministry have come as a result of carelessness in failing to keep my word. Preachers (传道士) can say a lot of requests on any given Sunday. I have been asked to make hospital visits, write letters of recommendation(推荐), put peoples nam

36、es on the prayer list, read books, make telephone calls, remember birthdays and anniversaries, come to special events, and put announcements in the church bulletin (公告).There was a time when I would foolishly agree to fulfill each request. I had the best of intentions, but I could not remember all I

37、 had agreed to do, much less find a way to do them all! Did I think I was “Super-Preacher”? The sad look of disappointed faces taught me that I was not. I hurt people, and they deserved better.The Hebrew word of covenant (契约) means primarily “a cutting”. It refers to the custom of cutting an animal

38、in half and having the parties making promises pass between the two halves. They were saying to each other, “If I dont keep my word, may I be as this animal-be cut in two.”If butchering (屠宰) were the result of breaking our word today, how many of us would be headed for the death? I think that, altho

39、ugh we are not cut like animals for our failures to keep promises, there are serious results connected with our carelessness. It ruins our character and our reputation.What can we do? It is simple. Stop making promises we cannot keep. Reduce promise lists, and be sure to carry out the commitments th

40、at remain on it. If after giving our word, we are unable to keep the appointment or whatever, inform and apologize as soon as possible.Last weekend, I stood with a dressed-up couple at a wedding in another county. They made some serious promises to each other in a covenant of marriage. They made vow

41、s to be faithful to each other for as long as they live. I pray God that they will keep those vows and be an example for others to follow.55.

From the word itself, an educational tour is something done to gain knowledge while traveling and touring to some place. It creates opportunities fo

44、r people to think out of the box and see things and places that aren't usually seen in their normal environment.Educational trips aren't always those that cover far distances. As already said, it is done to gain knowledge and you wouldn't need to go very far to have it. Sometimes, an edu

45、cational trip could be in your hometown.Historic places and museums are always on top of the lists of the places to go in an educational tour. Educational tours like these would make you know your country better. Your country's history is rich and it is the reason why you came to be. But remembe

46、r that the history of other states, counties and countries are as important as your own.When you go on a trip to another country, it is advised that you learn their culture first. Different cultures have different understanding and perspective of different acts, and it could be dangerous or offendin

47、g if you cannot understand a culture.When you go on an educational tour, it is likely that you would have the opportunity to socialize with other people. Students are encouraged to talk to locals and natives and learn from them, because it is with understanding that students gain knowledge. When stu

48、dents talk with local people, they are gaining insights to their life and their culture. It is said that when in Rome, act and think as the Romans do, and this is a valuable skill that not all people could do.There are millions of people who want to travel, and an educational tour is the perfect tim

51、d see if you wouldn't miss your own country. Traveling would let you see your own country in a different way. The benefits of an educational tour are all important, but this one creates patriotism in a person.A school isn't a place where they teach you to find the answers; it is a place wher
