单选题{{B}}第二篇{{/B}} {{B}}Common Problems, Common Solutions{{/B}} The chances are that you made up your mind about smoking a long time ago — and decided it's not for you. The chances are equally good that you know a lot of smokers — there are, after all about 60 million of them, work with them, and get along with them very well. And finally it's a pretty safe bet that you're open-minded and interested in all the various issues about smokers and nonsmokers — or you wouldn't be reading this. And those three things make you incredibly important today. Because they mean that yours is the voice — not the smoker's and not the anti-smoker's — that will determine how much of society's efforts should go into building walls that separate us and how much into the search for solutions that bring us together. For one tragic result of the emphasis on building walls is the diversion of millions of dollars from scientific research on the causes and cures of diseases which, when all is said and done, still strike the nonsmoker as well as the smoker. One prominent health organization, to cite but a single instance, now spends 28 cents of every publicly contributed dollar on "education" (much of it in and-smoking propaganda) and only 2 cents on research. There will always be some who want to build walls, who want to separate people from people, and up to a point, even these may serve society. The anti-smoking wall-builders have, to give them their due, helped to make us all more keenly aware of choice. But our guess, and certainly our hope, is that you are among the far greatest number who know that walls are only temporary at best, and that over the long run, we can serve society's interest better by working together in mutual accommodation. Whatever virtue wails may have, they can never move our society toward fundamental solutions. People who work together on common problems, common solutions, can.

单选题Common-cold Sense You can't beat it, but you don't have to join it. Maybe it got the name "common cold" because it's more common in winter. The fact is, though, being cold doesn't have anything to do with getting one. Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses, and, at least so far, medical science is better at telling you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one. Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults, because they have more colds than adults—an average of about eight per year. Why do kids seem so much more easily to get colds than their parents? Simple. They haven't had the opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses. There are more than 150 different cold viruses, and you never have the same one twice. Being infected by one makes you immune to it--but only it. Colds ale usually spread by direct contact, not sneezing or coughing. From another person's hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route. The highest concentration of cold viruses anywhere is found under the thumbnails of a boy, although the viruses can survive for hours on skin or other smooth surfaces. Hygiene is your best defense. Wash your hands frequently, preferably with a disinfectant soap, especially when children in your household have colds. But even careful hygiene won't ward off every cold. So, what works when a coughing, sneezing, runny nose strikes? The old prescription of two aspirins, lots of water, and bed rest is a good place to start. But you'll also find some of the folk remedies.., worth Wing. Hot mixtures of sugar (or honey), lemon, and water have real benefits. rhinovirus n. 鼻病毒 immune adj. 免疫的，有免疫力 disinfectant n. 消毒剂，杀菌剂 prescription n. 诀窍；处方，药方 sneeze vi. 打喷嚏 thumbnail n.拇指

That's because just as many employers want to hire only people with experience, banks and other creditors are usually reluctant to lend to those {{U}}(51) {{/U}} a proven track record of paying back, {{U}}(52) {{/U}} time, the money they have borrowed. But if you need experience just to get a start, how do you get that stat in the first place? With a little help from your parents usually, while you are still financially dependent {{U}}(53) {{/U}} them. It is easy to get a credit card or student loan when you are in college, because banks figure your parents will bail you out if you fail to pay. So just as students take on internships to build up their resumes, one's university time can be a good time to work on another important personal record: the credit {{U}}(54) {{/U}}. Credit reports are a {{U}}(55) {{/U}} of one's personal credit history, gathered by a credit reporting agency, or CRA. Banks and companies- {{U}}(56) {{/U}} hospitals, landlords and insurance companies- regularly report to the three main CRAs in the US {{U}}(57) {{/U}} how their customers are doing at paying back the money, they {{U}}(58) {{/U}}. Anyone with a "legitimate business need" has the right to order individuals' reports from the CRAs. Potential creditors usually compile the information in the reports into a credit "score", ranking the level of creditworthiness. Lack of experience in borrowing in {{U}}(59) {{/U}} to a bad record of doing so, can result in a low score. Even if you are not considering taking out a loan for such a large purchase as a home or car, your credit report can be important to getting through life. Landlords often ask for the reports to judge {{U}}(60) {{/U}} a person can be trusted to pay the tent. Credit checks are necessary for getting a credit card, even for purchasing a mobile phone calling plan. People can obtain a copy of their own credit report, usually {{U}}(61) {{/U}} a cost of around US$8-9. Some consumer organizations recommend doing this once a year to allow one to catch any mistakes {{U}}(62) {{/U}} have slipped into the record or, even worse, to find out whether any fraud has taken place. Though the system is controlled by laws {{U}}(63) {{/U}} to protect/people's privacy, it isn' t fool-proof: Sometimes people take out bad loans in others' names, {{U}}(64) {{/U}} their records. In a society addicted {{U}}(65) {{/U}} credit, that can be a disaster.

He's part of "Generation M"—those born after 1985 who{{U}} (51) {{/U}}up connected to everything from video games to cellphones. "For us, it's everyday life," said Juarez, 18, a freshman{{U}} (52) {{/U}} California State University at Sacramento (CSUS). {{U}} (53) {{/U}} ,educators are now saying that not all Generation Mers can synthesize the piles of in formation they're accessing. "They're geeky (与网格交往的),but they don't know what to{{U}} (54) {{/U}}with their geekdom," said Barbara O'Connor, a communications studies professor who has been involved in a nationwide{{U}} (55) {{/U}} to improve students' computer-research skills. In a recent nationwide test to{{U}} (56) {{/U}} their technological "literacy"—their ability to use the Internet to complete class assignments—only 49 percent correctly evaluated a set of Web sites for objectivity, authority and timeliness. Only 35 per cent could correctly narrow an overly {{U}}(57) {{/U}} Internet search. About 130 Sacramento State students, including Juarez, participated in the experimental test, {{U}}(58) {{/U}} to 6,300 college students across the country. The hour-long assessment test is conducted by Educational Testing Service. It is aweb-based scavenger (食肉动物) hunt {{U}}(59) {{/U}} simulated Internet search engines and academic databases that spit out purposely misleading information. "They're very good at {{U}}(60) {{/U}} in and using the Internet, but don't always understand what they get back," said Linda Goff, head of instructional services for the CSUS library. "You see an open search box, you type in a few words and you {{U}}(61) {{/U}} the button," said Golf, who is involved in the testing. "They take at face value {{U}}(62) {{/U}} shows up at the top of the list as the best stuff." Educators say that these sloppy (马虎) research skills are troubling. "We look at that as a foundational skill, in the same way we {{U}}(63) {{/U}} math and English as a foundational skill," said Lode Roth, assistant vice-chancellor for academic programmes in the CSU system. Measuring how well students can "sort the good {{U}}(64) {{/U}} the bad" on the Internet has become a higher pdodty for CSU, Roth said. CSU is considering {{U}}(65) {{/U}} a mandatory (强制性的) assessment test on technological literacy for all freshmen, much as it has required English and math placement tests since the 1980s.
