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.

24、For most people, the word "fashion" means "clothes". But people ask question, "What clothes are fashion?" And they use the adjective "fashionable" in the same way:
"she was wearing a fashionable coat." "His shirt was really a fashionable color." But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs and in languages.

A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860. Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past.

25、My father died when I was five. It was hard on us all. My brother, who is eight years older than me, began to take care of my mother and me.
I remember he made sure the rubbish was taken out, and the yard was cleaned. He did on his own, without being told to do so.
Brother would get me up for school and make me breakfast. While I was eating, he would lay out my clothes, make my bed, and gather my school books up.
Hand in hand, we would walk to the bus stop. As we waited, he would play games my father used to play with me. When we returned form school, we would alone for about half an hour, until mom was home from work. Before I did my homework, he would sit me down with three cookies and a glass of milk. Then he would prepare something for mom to cook dinner.
Mom would greet us with a hug and kiss. This was our time to have some fun outside. This was my brother’s time to be a kid.
Several years later, one Saturday in June, my mother and I were at a store where the Father’s Day cards were sold. I stared at the cards. Mom smiled. “Your brother has exactly been a father to you. Go ahead to choose a card for your brother, Cindy.” Then I chose a card and on Father’s Day I gave it to him.
As he read it, I saw the tears in his eyes. Mom said, “Son, your father is proud of you, seeing that he raised a good man, and you do your best to fill his shoes. We love you and thank you.”

27、Have you tried to run or walk for exercise and then given up? If you answered yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic(水中的) exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but you do it in a swimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.
Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercise on land. Why? You weigh about 90% less in the pool. It is better for your knees than running or walking. Water is about 1,000 times thicker and heavier than air. To move through the water, your body has to work four times as hard. As a result, you can burn more calories(卡路里).
In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water. They stop thinking about the things that make them worried. They feel in control of their bodies. The cool, quiet environment makes them feel good.
But what if you are afraid of the water? No problem! There is nothing to worry about. Aquatic exercise is safe and easy to learn. It doesn’t require any special skills. You don’t even need to know how to swim. Aquatic exercise is for everyone.

28、 About twenty of us had been lucky enough to receive invitations to a film-studio to take part in a crowd-scene (群众演员). Although our “act” would l【1】 only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.
We all stood at the far end of the studio just a【2】 workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge (边缘) of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position.... E【3】 was ready for the film with their effort. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, we were s【4】 to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers(羽毛) down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “s【5】”. Two more big fans were turned on, and a “strong wind” blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.
The next scene was a complete contrast(对比,反差). The way it was filmed was quite u【6】. Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and an actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if(仿佛) they were at the water’s edge on an island,breathing the fresh air from the sea. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been b【7】 into the studio! We were lost in such a fantastic situation.
