Autumn and winter are cold and flu seasons. Will the old advice about dressing warmly help prevent a cold, or if you get sick, should you follow the old saying, “feed a cold and starve a fever?” And what about that fever? Should you take medicine to reduce your temperature, or is it better to let the body treat the fever itself? Everyone seems to have an answer. But is popular wisdom valuable?
Doctor Nelson knows a lot about cold and flu seasons. Nelson says research may be just starting to provide proofs for long-held beliefs. For example, scientists for years were against the idea that getting cold and wet might cause colds or flu. But recent studies have shown that cold temperatures cause stress on the body, and that stress can create conditions more inviting to viruses. So maybe it does make sense to wrap up warmly before going outside.
And what about feeding a cold and starving a fever? Nelson says if you have a cold and are hungry, you should eat. But a fever, especially a high one, suggests a more serious problem. He says people are usually not hungry when they have a high fever. Eating might even make a person sick. But drinking enough water is important. A fever easily makes the body lose water.
Finally, when should you treat a fever? Nelson says a fever should be treated if it stays at
40℃ or above for a day or more. A high temperature can damage brain cells. The doctor also believes in treating a fever if it prevents a person from sleeping.
Medicine like aspirin, for example, can be used to reduce pain and fever. But aspirin should not be given to children because it can cause serious problems.
小題1:We can learn from the passage that Doctor Nelson________.
A．doesn’t believe in the old advice about preventing colds
B．is now trying his best to provide proofs for long-held beliefs.
C．doesn’t think it necessary to see a doctor immediately if a person has a temperature of 40℃
D．doesn’t think it necessary to treat a fever even if it prevents someone from sleeping.
小題2:According to Doctor Nelson, if someone catches a fever, he should________.
A．bathe in cold waterB．drink enough water
C．try to eat somethingD．take some exercise outside
小題3:Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage?
A．When people should treat a fever
B．Whether the old advice about preventing a cold is valuable.
C．What the medicine , aspirin, is used for.
D．Why people should eat when having a cold.
小題4:The passage suggests that_______.
A．a(chǎn)spirin can damage train cells if an adult takes too much of it.
B．it is easier for people to catch colds when their bodies are stressed.
C．some old advice about preventing colds doesn’t make any sense.
D．the idea that getting cold can cause flu was proved true years ago.

While applying to college may seem easy, getting in can be tough! When you apply for college, you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit. Here are three steps to take when applying to colleges for the best chances at getting into the best college for you.
Step l: Making A List Of Colleges To Apply To
With over 6,000 colleges in the United States, the first step in applying to college is to do some research and make a college list .This process will be different for everyone. The number of colleges you apply to can vary, from applying  to 1 school (not recommended) to 30 schools (not recommended),each applicant can choose how many colleges they apply to. Many limit the number because applications are accompanied by a fee.
Step2: Splitting The List Into Target, Reach and Safety Schools
In general, students will want to apply to three types of schools: Target, Reach and Safety schools. It is up to you how many applications you send, but a good mix would be more target than reach, and at least one safety. You will need to take your list, and now decide which are your top picks, which are attainable for you academically, which are affordable for you only with aid, and refine your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success. Talk to an admissions counselor at your high school if you have questions about this.
Step 3: Completing and Sending Applications to Colleges
Once your list is complete you are ready to apply to college by completing and sending in applications! College applications take time to complete —you have to write essays, ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schools—so stay organized！ All colleges will require these types of application materials, so start thinking about these items well before October or December. Once you complete and send them, then you have successfully applied to college.
小題1:It can be learned from the first paragraph that_____________.
A．you should be cautious to pick up the right college
B．you don't have to think twice before applying to college
C．once you apply to a college, you'll be admitted to it easily
D．each applicant should choose the best college for their ideal
小題2:To make a list of colleges, you____________.
A．should consider more Safety schools
B．had better take your academy into account
C．a(chǎn)re supposed to choose merely one most fit
D．a(chǎn)re required to pick out more than 30 colleges
小題3:Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A．One should clarify the list according to one's abilities.
B．Refer to admissions counselor at high school if necessary.
C．One doesn't have to send his test scores to the intended college.
D．Teachers' recommendations are included in application materials.
小題4:We can conclude from the text that____________.
A．each applicant has the right to apply to any colleges for free
B．the more college one chooses, the more successful he will be
C．a(chǎn)pplicants should send required materials before the deadline
D．safety schools are those that don't have so many requirements
小題5:The text is mainly about____________.
A．how to succeed in life
B．how to apply to college
C．how to ask for information
D．how to do a research in college

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解


I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a splendid, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more lasting emotion.
Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells“happiness”. But in memoir（回憶錄）after memoir, they reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism ,drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage, if he’s honest, and he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment, for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they can. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating（解放性的）realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
小題1:We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．fun creates long-lasting satisfaction
B．fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness
C．happiness is lasting whereas fun is short-lived
D．fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness
小題2:To the author, the role Hollywood stars play is to ________.
A．write memoir after memoir about their happiness
B．tell the public that happiness has nothing to do with fun
C．teach people how to enjoy their lives
D．bring happiness to the public instead of going to parties
小題3:In the author’s opinion, marriage ________ .
A．a(chǎn)ffords greater funB．leads to raising children
C．indicates duty and devotionD．usually ends up in pain
小題4:Which of the following is the best example of“painful happiness”?
A．Winning lottery by accident
B．A bachelor resisting marriage
C．Raising children
D．Buying some fancy clothes
小題5:If one gets the true sense of happiness, he will ________.
A．stop playing games and joking with othersB．keep himself with his family
C．give a free hand to moneyD．use his time to increase happiness

Balzac was good at buying things at its lowest price. One day he wanted to buy a vase in a shop window that was much more expensive than he could offer. Not being able to make the shopkeeper cut down its price very much, he left without further talking. Collecting a half dozen of his friends, he explained his wish to them and they worked a plan. The first would enter the shop and make an offer, lower than the marked price. Not getting the vase at his price, he would walk out. Shortly after another would enter and ask for a price lower than the first. In this way, each of the others would offer a price lower than the one before, and the last of his friends made a great effort to attempt to get it at the lowest price. Before long Balzac himself would return, offer more than the last two or three persons made and trust to luck. The plan worked--- Balzac got the vase at his price!

My husband is a born shopper. He loves to look at things and to touch them. He likes to compare prices between the same items in different shops. He would never think of buying anything without looking around in several different shops. On the other hand, I’m not a shopper. I think shopping is boring and unpleasant. If I like something and I have enough money to take it, I buy it at once. I never look around for a good price or a better deal. Of course my husband and I never go shopping together. Doing shopping together would be too painful for both of us. When it comes to shopping, we go our different ways.
Sometimes I ask my son Jimmy to buy some food in the shop not far from our home. But he is always absent-minded. This was his story.
One day I said to him, ” I hope you won’t forget what I have told you to buy.” “ No,“ said Jimmy. “I won’t forget. You want three oranges , six eggs and a pound of meat.”
He went running down the street to the shop. As he ran, he said to himself over and over again, “three oranges , six eggs and a pound of meat.”
In the beginning he remembered everything but he stopped several times. Once he saw two men fighting outside a clothes shop until a policeman stopped them. One of them was badly hurt. Then he stopped to give ten cents to a beggar. Then he met some of his friends and he played with them for a while. When he reached the shop, he had forgotten everything except six eggs.
As he walked home, his face became sadder and sadder. When he saw me he said, “I’m sorry, Mum. I have forgotten to buy oranges and the meat. I only remembered to buy six eggs, but I’ve dropped three of them.”
小題1:The husband likes shopping because _______.
A．he has much money.
B．he likes the shops.
