27、 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 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 airplanes.
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused (浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty (通风的) 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 unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? One 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 on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors (止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.
【1】What does the fact that the Eskimos don’t suffer colds show?
A.Colds are really full of myths.
B.Viruses are the factors causing colds.
C.Colds are more severe than other illnesses.
D.The idea that cold leads to colds doesn’t stand up.
【2】What did the experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 prove?
A.Being doused with cold water did harm to one’s body.
B.Taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired.
C.It was viruses not wet and cold that made people have colds.
D.People who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily.
【3】Why are colds commonly seen in winter, according to the passage?
A.Staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass on.
B.People are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter.
C.Viruses can go into people’s warm bodies more easily in winter.
D.There is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature.
【4】What does the passage mainly discuss?
A.The myths about colds. B.The experiments on colds.
C.The continued spread of common colds. D.The reason and the way people catch colds.
28、The most successful people all have certain habits in their daily routines. 【1】Forming a new good habit can be a struggle, but it is well worth the effort. Here are the four steps you can follow to form good habits.
Set your goal.
Before you can begin to work on your new habit, it is worthwhile to consider your goal.【2】Make sure that your goal is specific, measurable and realistic to increase your chances of success.
【3】
Having good habits that are in line with the goals can improve your chances of achieving your goals. After you have set your goal and worked out all of the specifics (细节) of achieving that goal, find a habit that is part of achieving that goal. Consider what good habit would help you achieve that goal.
Consider your motivation.
Once you have identified your goal and the new habit you need to achieve this goal, take some time to consider your motivation.【4】Good motivation can be the difference between success and failure in terms of forming a new habit. So take your time to consider your motivation.
Give yourself time.
Forming a new habit can take a long time. Some people can form a new habit in as little as a few weeks, while other people will take several months. As you work to form your new habit, just keep in mind that it may be a while before it comes true. 【5】
A．Identify ways to achieve goals.
B．Find the habit you want to form.
C．Good habits are sure to make you a success.
D．These habits help contribute to their success.
E．Figure out exactly what you hope to achieve.
F．Try to be patient with yourself as you form your new habit.

29、 An All-School Reunion was to be held in Barditch High School. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for over fifty years, was wheeled to the Park.
Then Ms. Yates started to speak: “I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination.”
Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued: “It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”
“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”
There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar (呼喊).

We went to Darjelling during the summer holidays and booked a cottage(农舍) for our stay. Our cook Gopi came with us because we could not do without home-cooked meals.
Usually all the shopping was done by our home help Bharat, who went to our holiday destination with us. However, one early evening, my mother decided to do all the vegetable shopping by herself. She believed that Bharat did not wait to check the really fresh items and instead, bought some things in a hurry. As a result, the vegetables he brought back were not fresh.
After getting ready, she took her favorite purse with quite an amount of money, thinking she could go to other shops too after finishing at the vegetable market. My mother asked Bharat to get a rickshaw for her and on reaching the market, she asked the rickshaw wallah ( 人力车车夫) to wait for her. She took a coolie (小工) and did her shopping happily, choosing some of the freshest green vegetables available there. At last, her shopping was done. She returned to the rickshaw and sat on it while the coolie put all the things my mother had bought onto the rickshaw.
On reaching home, Bharat took all the packets of vegetables inside and my mother quickly paid the rickshaw wallah and got off, forgetting to collect her purse from the seat of the rickshaw. The rickshaw wallah left soon after saying goodbye to my mother. All of us greeted my mother and asked her about her evening of shopping with much delight.
Then we began to help my mother prepare our dinner. My father came to help cut the meat; I helped wash the vegetables; we were talking and laughing. When dinner was ready, it was late in the evening, almost 9 p.m.
Paragraph 1:
Then my mom realized her purse was missing.
