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(挨饿) 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 something more likely to lead to viruses. So maybe it is really important to wear 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(细胞). 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. 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．thinks a fever needn't be treated even if it prevents someone from sleeping D．thinks you needn't go to a doctor at once if you have a temperature of 40 ℃ 2．According to Doctor Nelson, if someone catches a fever, he should ． A．take a bath in cold water B．drink enough water C．try to eat something D．take some exercise outside
3．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．Why people should eat when having a cold.
B．When people should treat a fever. C．What the medicine aspirin is used for.
D．Whether the old advice about preventing a cold is valuable. 4．The passage suggests that ．
A．aspirin can damage brain 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

Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, about 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. Now, scientists have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.Scientists say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful(警惕的) than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists believe some shyness is genetic(遗传的)．
