most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths(神话,想象) about it than any of the other illnesses.The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by coldThey are notThey are caused by viruses passing on from person to personYou catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has oneIf cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them foreverBut they do notAnd in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected(感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanesAt the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of timeAfter taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused(浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping滴干 wet in drafty通风的 roomsSome wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustionNot one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his noseIf cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? In spite of the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answerOne explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed onNo one has yet found a cure for the coldThere are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms病症41The fact that the Eskimos dont suffer colds shows that .Acolds are really full of mythsBviruses are the factors causing coldsCcolds are more severe than other illnessesDthe idea that cold leads to colds doesnt stand up42The experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 made it clear that .Abeing doused with cold water did harm to ones bodyBtaking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tiredCit was viruses not wet and cold that made people have coldsDpeople who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily43According to the passage, colds are commonly seen in winter because .Athere is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperatureBviruses can go into peoples warm bodies more easily in winterCstaying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass onDpeople are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter44What does the passage mainly discuss?AThe reason and the way people catch colds.BThe continued spread of colds.CThe experiments on colds.DThe myths about colds.

high in processed food increases the risk of depression, research suggests What's more, people who ate plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression, the University College London team foundData on diet among 3,500 middleaged civil servants were compared with their emotional state five years later, a British journal reported They divided the participants into two types of dietthose who ate a diet largely based on whole food, which includes lots of fruit, vegetables and fish, and those who ate a mainly processed food diet, such as sweetened desserts, fried food, processed meat, refined grains and highfat dairy products After accounting for factors such as gender, age, education, physical activity, smoking habits and chronic 慢性的 diseases, they found a significant difference in the future depression risk with the different dietsThose who ate the most wholefood had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who ate the least wholefood By contrast, people with a diet high in processed food had a 58% higher risk of depression than those who ate a diet low in processed foodsStudy author Dr Archana SinghManoux pointed out there was a

Manoux said?A It is difficult for most British people to have a Mediterranean dietB The Mediterranean diet is the most healthy in the worldC Many studies have been done on the Mediterranean diet beforeD The Mediterranean diet is not good for depression52 Dr Andrew McCulloch agrees that _A our diets are closely related to our mental healthB the present study needs more facts and other
