26、The common cold is the world’s most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths about it than any of the other illnesses.
The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact. directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explores have reported being from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside word by way of packages and mails dropped from airplanes.
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteer took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty rooms. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
If 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 answer. One explanation offered by scientist 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 on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressor such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.
【1】The fact that the Eskimos don't suffer colds shows that ________ .

【3】According to the passage, colds are commonly seen in winter because ________.
A.there is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature
B.viruses can go into people’s warm bodies more easily in winter
C.people are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter

28、 Nowadays,cats and dogs are popular pets. However,when it comes to the relationship with their owners,cats are usually seen as unfriendly and distant with respect to their owners,compared with dogs. It is usual for them to be indifferent(漠不关心的)when humans call their names. Are we sure that they don't understand human voices at all?
A recent study published in the journal of Scientific Reports suggests that we've been fooled.
Japanese scientists found that cats can recognize their names if their owners regularly use them.
In the study,scientists studied 78 domestic cats. They played recordings of voices of their owners saying five words: the first four words they heard were some nouns that resembled their names while the final word they heard was just the cat's name. Then they observed the cats' responses,if there were any.
Most cats moved their ears or heads when they heard their names,while they made no response to other words which sounded seemingly like their names.
That suggested,"cats were paying attention to you,what you say and what you do,"John Bradshaw,an expert on human-animal relations at the University of Bristol,UK,told The Times.
“And cats were just as good as dogs at learning,"she added.
In the study,when people called their names,cats often connected the words with rewards,such as food or play,or with punishments such as having a bath or going to the vet. This made cats sensitive(敏感的)to words. After the cats had been called several times,they could respond to the words.
But the scientists added that while dogs have evolved to follow their owners' orders,cats have not. Although cats appear to be distant,they do have special relationships with their owners.
According to study co-author Atsuko Saito,cats have evolved not to show their emotions as a survival method. One example is illness,which they tend to hide because in the wild,no one can save them and hunters are more likely to pay attention to them, Saito explained.
However,technology may help bridge the communication gap between our feline(猫科的)friends and us. There are now mobile apps available to explain what their meows mean. So,the next time you hear "meow,meow",your cat may be telling you:“Hi,you haven't cleaned my liter box recently.”

C.Cats have a good relationship with their owners.
D.We may know cats better with the help of technology.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
