单选题One out of five Americans suffers from allergies. People with allergies have extra-sensitive immune systems that react to normally harmless substances. Allergens that may produce this reaction include plant 25 , dust mites, or animal dander; plants such as poison ivy; certain drugs, such as penicillin; and certain foods such as eggs, milk, nuts, or seafood. The tendency to develop allergies is usually inherited, and allergies usually begin to appear in childhood, but they can show 26 at any age. Common allergies for infants include food allergies and eczema (patches of dry skin). Older children and adults may often develop allergic rhinitis (hay fever), a reaction to an 27 allergen; common symptoms include nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. It is best to avoid contact with the allergen, if 28 . In some cases, medications such as antihistamines are used to decrease the reaction, and there are treatments aimed at gradually desensitizing the patient to the allergen. Other effective allergy treatments include decongestants, eye drops, and ointments. Some people with allergies also have asthma, and allergens are a common asthma trigger. Asthma is a disease of 29 inflammation affecting the passages that carry air into and out of the lungs. It can develop at any age. People with asthma have 30 , supersensitive airways that tighten and become filled with mucus during an asthma 31 . Wheezing, difficulty in breathing, tightening of the chest, and coughing are common symptoms. Asthma can progress through stages to become life-threatening if not controlled. Emergency symptoms include: no improvement minutes after 32 treatment; struggling to breathe; hard time breathing, with patient hunched over and/or chest and neck pulled in with breathing; trouble walking or talking; stopping activity and not starting activity again; gray or blue lips or fingernails. Besides common allergens, tobacco smoke, cold air, and pollution can 33 an asthma attack, as can viral infections or physical exercise that taxes the breathing. Of course, an accurate diagnosis by a physician is important. Although there is no cure for asthma or allergies, they can be controlled with 34 and lifestyle changes.

单选题Less than 40 years ago in the United States, it was common to change a one-dollar bill for a dollar"s worth of silver. That is because the coins were actually made of silver. But those days are gone. There is no silver in today"s coins. When the price of the precious metal rises above its face value as money, the metal will become more valuable in other uses. Silver coins are no longer in circulation because the silver in coins is worth much more than their face value. A silver firm could find that it is cheaper to obtain silver by melting down coins than by buying it on the commodity markets. Coins today are made of an alloy of cheaper metals. Gresham"s Law, named after Sir Thomas Gresham, argues that "good money" is driven out of circulation by "bad money". Good money differs from bad money because it has higher commodity value. Gresham lived in the 16th century in England where it was common for gold and silver coins to be debased. Governments did this by mixing cheaper metals with gold and silver. The governments could thus make a profit in coinage by issuing coins that had less precious metal than the face value indicated. Because different mixings of coins had different amounts of gold and silver, even though they bore the same face value, some coins were worth more than others as commodities. People who dealt with gold and silver could easily see the difference between the "good" and the "bad" money. Gresham observed that coins with a higher content of gold and silver were kept rather than being used in exchange, or were melted down for their precious metal. In the mid-1960s when the U.S. issued new coins to replace silver coins, Gresham"s law went right in action.

单选题Would you like to spend all evening reading a lovely story with beautiful illustrations and make $ 35,000 at the same time? Millions of people all over the world tried to do just that. Only one succeeded. The book is called Masquerade, and was written by British painter Kit Williams. Within its pages are clues to the location of a golden jewel, and whoever figured out the clues could find and keep the treasure. Some years ago, Williams was asked to write a children's book. Wanting to do something no one else had done before, he decided to bury a golden treasure and tell where it was in the book. He began painting without a clear idea of what the story would be about, where he would bury the treasure, or even what the treasure would be. As he painted, he decided that in the story a hare, or rabbit, would travel through earth, air, fire and water to deliver a gift from the moon to the sun. After three years, he finished the paintings and then wrote the story. The treasure became an 18- carat gold hare, adorned with precious stones, and it was made by Kit Williams himself. This beautiful jewel, worth around $ 35,000,depending on gold prices, was buried somewhere in Britain, free to anyone who could decipher the clues. Williams's book kept people of all ages amused trying to solve the mystery of Masquerade. The rabbit was finally found in the spring of 1982 ,by a 48-year-old design engineer. It was buried in a park about thirty-five miles from London.
