1、 It is easy for many people to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can't they find a cure (治疗) for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually different cold viruses (病毒) out there. ___You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one.
When a virus attacks (攻击) your body, your body works hard to get rid of (消除) it. You may feel very uncomfortable, ___but your wonderful body is doing what it can do to kill the cold. You may have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells (细胞).Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is eating the virus.
___不同的人做不同的事情来应对感冒。In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might have chicken soup to help them to cure the cold. Some people take hot baths and drink warm water. Other people take medicine to stop different symptoms(症状)of colds.
There is one interesting thing to note.___some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. ___如果你不吃药,你得花一周来消除感冒,but if you do, you still need 7 days.

27、Should we be afraid of sharks? Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks Should we be afraid of sharks? Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks (攻击) suggests that sharks don’t like the way humans taste! In fact, most people who are attacked by the shark didn’t die after receiving only one bite (咬). Why is this?
There are many opinions to explain why sharks sometimes attack people. One opinion is that sharks are just curious (好奇的). We know that sharks are the strongest animals in their environment, so they are not afraid of anything. Naturally, that means they are curious when they meet something unusual. Because they don’t have hands or feet, the only way they can find out an object is to bite it! It is thought that sharks sometimes bite humans for this reason, and then swim away.
Scientists also say that sharks would not waste energy trying to eat a human, as we have a lot of bones . It is hard for a shark to eat us because sharks don’t have hands, and they can’t pull the meat off our bones. Maybe that’s why they only bite us once. Unluckily, one bite from a large shark is serious enough to hurt people greatly!
Another opinion is that sharks attack humans by mistake. Some sharks may sometimes mistake humans for a seal. An example of this is when a shark attack attacks a surfer. A surfer lying on a surfboard looks like a seal when seen from below. Sharks like seals because they have thick fat.
Whatever the reason for shark attacks on humans, sharks should be afraid of us. Sadly, we kill almost 40 million of them each year.
