Scratchy throats, stuffy（堵塞）noses and body aches all result in discomfort, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold or flu may make a difference in how long the discomfort lasts, because the 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 medications available, 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 and C There is no cure for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine（疫苗）, which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA
But 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
Cod symptoms such as stuffy nose, running nose and scratchy throat typically developed 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 coldness, painful throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more worrying than cold symptoms
The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when babies and preschool age children have the flu It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like symptoms
Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with the medications as well However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome（综合症）
There is, of cause, no vaccine for the common cold But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the probability catching one
51 According to the author, knowing the cause of the discomfort will help ____________
A prevent people from catching colds and the flu
B the patient obtain cheaper drugs
C the patient buy medicine
D shorten the period of the illness
52 We learn from the passage that ____________
A the drugs available can be taken to ease the discomfort caused by a cold or the flu
B one doesn’t need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the flue
C aspirin should not be included in the medicines for the flu
D delayed treatment of the flu will harm the liver and central nervous systems
53 According to the passage, to fight against the flu effectively, one should ____________
A take medicine upon catching the disease
B identify the virus which causes it
C consult a doctor as soon as possible
D remain watchful when the disease is spreading
54 Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold
A A painful throat B A stuffy nose
C A dry cough D A high temperature
55 If children have flu-like symptoms, their parents ____________
A are encouraged to take them to hospital for vaccination
B are advised not to give them aspirin
C should watch out for signs of Reye syndrome
D should prevent them

If you want to teach your children how to say sorry ,you must be good at saying it yourself, especially to your own children But how you say it can be quite tricky
If you say to your children "I'm sorry I got angry with you, but ", what follows that "but" can make the apology ineffective: "I had a bad day" or "your noise was giving me a headache" leaves the child who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior
Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say "I'm sorry you're upset"; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done
These pseudo(虚假的)-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not turn to these pseudo-apologies
But even when presented with examples of true regret, children still need help to become aware of how difficult it is to say sorry A three-year-01d might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children's expectations can require an apology A 12-year-old might need to be shown that taking away the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowing a parent's clothes without permission is not
56 If a mother adds "but" to an apology, ____________
A the child may find the apology easier to accept
B the child may feel that he should apologize to his mother
C she does not realize that the child has been hurt
D she doesn't feel that she should have apologized
57 According to the author, saying "I'm sorry you're upset" most probably means ________
A You have good reason to get upset B I apologize for hurting your feelings
C I'm wrong for making you upset D I know you're upset, but I'm not to blame
58 We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry _________
A their ages should be taken into consideration
B parents should be patient and tolerant
C parents need to set them a good example
D the difficulties involved should be taken no notice of
59 It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is ___________
A not necessary among family members B a sign of social progress
C not as simple as it seems D a matter calling for immediate attention

C
When the population of the port town began to suffer from poisoning, the police came to find the cause of the poison They thought someone was poisoning the people on purpose but no one knew how it was possible Soon people took the position that the pork was poisoned It was a popular food everyone ate and it could have possibly made everyone sick Anyone who had possession of pork would throw it out Even the poorest of the poor wouldn’t eat pork Signs were posted on poles and letters were sent to everyone to warn people of the pork Shortly afterwards, even policemen in high positions were also getting sick
Soon it became political and popular Politicians rushed to the town to talk about politics and promised how they would find the solution if they were elected Everyone was so sick that they didn’t care about politics Everyone was in a position where he or she didn’t know what to do anymore They went to the post office to mail posts out asking for help The poor town didn’t know how to deal with the situation
One day, a well-known scientist from New York came to the town with a huge box containing many instruments and his possessions He went to pools and the port and made measurements He was quiet and polite Then one day he made a speech at a newspaper meeting-room to announce his findings
“I am sorry to say your water supply is so heavily polluted; it is poisoned I know who has been poisoning you all for such a long time It is you who have been poisoning yourselves with pollution A great deal of rubbish has been thrown into the water day after day No one here has taken good care of the environment It is no wonder all of you have been sick” Shocked at the news, the people present were lost in thought

f A scientist came to check the water
A e, a, d, b, f, c B e, a, d, c, f, b

61 What does the underlined phrase “ "took the position" mean in the passage
A took the job B took the place
C held the opinion D made the suggestion
62 Which of the following statements is correct
A Everyone was so sick of politics that they didn’t care about those politicians
B According to the scientist from New York, not all the population in the town have taken good care of the environment
C The reason why the people in the town got sick was that they ate the pork poisoned by the heavily polluted water
D if the people in the town hadn’t polluted the water supply, they would not have suffered from poisoning or sickness
