Kwame Alexander: I wanted to write a book about how important it is to persevere (坚持) and accept the challenges that come, because they only make you stronger.

Now, it is winter and as you have probably noticed, virus are everywhere -- runny noses, sore throats, nothing quite like the common cold to make you feel so uncomfortable. But experts believe that there is no link between cold weather and catching colds. So why are we particularly easy to catch colds this season?
Internal Medicine expert, Dr Meenakshi Jain of Max Hospital says, “One reason could be that people are likely to stay indoors, so the virus can spread easily. Also the virus grows strong and healthy under wet conditions.”
The common cold can be caused by any of up to 250 kinds of virus. The most common group of them is the kind of virus that hits the nose, which is called rhinovirus. Rhinoviruses cause a third and a half of all common colds.
“This kind of virus is spread through the nose and respiratory passages (呼吸道), by touch, and by contact with particles (微粒) in the air that are created by sneezing or coughing,\Dr Jain.
There is no way to treat the common cold. However, there are some tips that can help. Wash your hands regularly, so that germs get killed. Don't touch your eyes, nose or mouth, which can limit your chances of infection (传染). Don't share drinking glasses with anyone as this will prevent the spread of the virus. Drink lots of water. Make sure to eat enough fruits to boost your immune system (免疫系统). Get enough sleep and you'll certainly become stronger. 25. What does the writer think will make you suffer most? A. The common cold. B. The winter. C. Sore throats. D. Runny noses.
26. A third and a half of all common colds are caused by . A. the cold weather in the winter B. the condition of the human body C. the virus that hits people's nose D. the warm temperature in the room 27. The underlined word \ A. damage B. treat C. change D. improve 28. In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to tell us . A. some ways for the virus to spread B. the common cold can not be treated
C. exercise is important to people's health D. some tips on how to keep the cold away

For many years doctors have warned us about the dangers of stress (压力) and have given us advice about how to cut down our stress levels. Everyone agrees that long-term stress, for example, having to look after someone who has a chronic (慢性的) illness, or stressful situations where there is nothing we can do, for example, being stuck in a traffic jam, should be avoided whenever possible. However, some medical experts now believe that certain kinds of stress may actually be good for us.
Dr Marios Kyriazis, an anti-ageing expert, points out that what he calls “good stress”
is beneficial(有益的) to our health and may, in fact, help us stay young and attractive and even live longer. Dr Kyriazis says that “good stress” can strengthen our natural defences which protect us from illnesses common among older people, such as Alzheimer's and heart problems.
According to Dr Kyriazis, running for a bus or having to work to meet a deadline(最后期限) are examples of “good stress” , that is situations with short-term or low stress. The stress usually makes us react quickly, and gives us a sense of achievement--we did it! However in both situations the stress damages the cells(细胞) in our body or brain and they start to break down. But then the cells’ own repair mechanism(机制) “turns on” and it produces proteins(蛋白质) which repair the damaged cells and remove harmful chemicals that can gradually cause disease. In fact, the body’s response is greater than is needed to repair the damage, so it actually makes the cells stronger than they were before.
“As the body gets older, this self-repair mechanism of the cells starts to slow down,” says Dr Kyriazis. “The best way to keep the process working well is to ‘exercise’ it, in the same way you would exercise your muscles to keep them strong. This means having a certain amount of stress in our lives.” Other stressful activities that Kyriazis suggests as being good stress include redecorating a room in your house over the weekend, packing your suitcase in a hurry to reach the airport on time, or shopping for a dinner party during your lunch break.
So next time your boss tells you that she wants to see the report finished and on her desk in 45 minutes, don’t worry; just think of it as “good stress” which will benefit your long-term health!
29. What is Dr Kyriazis’ opinion probably based on? A. The relationship between stress and health. B. The benefits of doing physical exercise. C. How to get a sense of achievement. D. How to cut down our stress levels.
30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The daily stress. B. Long-term stress.
C. The increasing stress. D. Short-term or low stress.
31. According to Dr Kyriazis, which of the following may be “good stress”? A. Being stuck in a traffic jam.
B. Packing for a trip at the last minute. C. Being late for work for several days.
D. Looking after a patient with heart trouble. 32. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Stress beats success. B. Stress attracts illness.
C. Less stress, better health. D. Get stressed, stay young.

Two thieves came to a house to steal something. They dug a hole in the wall of the house. There lived many mice in the house. The woman in the moonlight saw a mouse crawl(爬行) into the house. “Look! In comes one,” she said to the man in the house. The thief was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled out of the house and said to the one waiting outside, “She found me when I was just in.” But the thief outside didn’t believe him, so he said, “Let us two try to crawl into the house together.” At that time two mice happened to crawl into the house, too. The woman saw the mice and shouted. The man in the house said, “You saw them come in but where are they? I will catch them tonight.” The two thieves started running away at once.
The two thieves wanted to make it clear whether they had been found or not the night before.
