Passage 2
Different from popular thoughts, colds are not caused by bad weather. Colds are caused by viruses in the body, and you are better out on the snowy day than you are in a warm room, with your friends, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill (寒颤) when you are coming down with a cold, you are already sick. A chill is an early sign of the cold.
The virus can spread through air when a cold sufferer (感冒患者) coughs or sneezes. Surprisingly, this is not the most usual way of spreading. Many studies have now shown that most colds are “caught” by hands. A cold sufferer rubs his or her nose, so spreading the virus to his or her hand, and then a friend comes to visit him or her. They shake their hands. The friend then gets something to eat by hand, and several days later he or she catches a cold. Although some parents pick up their children’s tissues (纸巾) and carefully throw them away, they fail to wash their hands. They’ll catch the colds, too.
Cold viruses can also be spread by objects, for example, telephones, plates, and so on. The cold sufferer as well as other members of the house, by washing their hands often, will stop the viruses from spreading in a way. 1. Colds are caused by ________. A. bad weather B. viruses C. chill D. your friends 2. Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage? A. An early sign of the cold is viruses in the body. B.

Passage 3
A saint (圣人) found a group of family members shouting in anger at each other on a river bank. He asked his disciples (信徒), “Why do people shout when they are angry with each other?” The disciples thought for a while and one of them said, “Because when we lose our calm, we will shout.”
“But why would you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can tell him what
you want to say in a soft voice,” asked the saint.
The disciples gave some other reasons but none of them made the saint pleased. Finally the saint explained, “When two people are angry with each other, there is a long distance between them. To cover that distance they must shout in order to hear each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to cover that great distance. What will happen when two people fall in love? They won’t shout at each other but will talk softly, because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is very small or doesn’t exist.”
The saint looked at his disciples and continued, “So when you argue with other people, do not use words that hurt each other more, or else there will be a day when the distance is so long that you will not find the path to return.” 1.
