If anyone knows how easy it is to lie to parents, it will be me. I also know how hard it is to get out of one lie.
At that moment it may seem like the right thing to do when you want to do something your parents are against, but there's probably a good reason why they're against it. Don't lie to your parents. Here are a few reasons.
You will lose your parents' trust. It's important for you to have your parents' trust. Your parents to know that they can leave you at the house by yourself and that you won't throw any crazy, wild parties. Your parents need to know that they can count on you to go somewhere by yourself and be a responsible (有责任心的) young adult.You'd better not lie to your parents if you don't want to lose that trust.
You have to work harder to get it back. As soon as you get caught up in a lie, it will be a lot harder for you to have that trust again. Your parents are there to see every move you make. You will have to be something next to an angel in order to get back in good with your parents. That's a lot of work.
It may weigh heavily on you. Think about having to walk around every day, looking at your parents and knowing that you just told them a big lie. You might start to feel uneasy and you might just start thinking about what would happen if they found out your lie. Every time I lie to my parents, I'm quite nervous because I am not sure whether they will see through my lie. It really weighs heavily on me. You don't want that kind of pressure, don't you
In a word, lying to your parents can be such an easy thing to do, but think about how hard it will be after doing that. So just be honest.

Do you think getting cold can give you a cold Is it bad to drink milk when you have a cold
Ranit Mishori, a family medicine doctor in Washington, says colds are more common in winter, but not because of low temperatures. The cold weather just means people stay inside more. People like staying together and may get the common cold virus if they shake hands, sneeze(打喷嚏) or cough near one another. Adults generally get two to three colds a year. Children are likely to catch four or five. Dr Mishori says some people wrongly believe they can become protected from colds for the rest of their life once they get the virus one time.
There is still no cure for the common cold. But Dr Mishori says there are ways to feel better sooner. If you get a cold, you start taking about two grams of Vitamin C a day. There is evidence(证据) that it might shorten the number of days that you will be having the cold. Dr Mishori says honey, bears' favourite food, can also help. She says honey seems especially effective(有效的) in children with colds.
Have you ever heard the old saying "feed a cold, starve(挨饿) a fever" Dr Mishori says this is not necessarily a good rule to follow. She says if you have a cold but do not feel hungry, then don't eat. According to Dr Mishori, you have to drink a lot. You can drink water or you can drink tea-anything that gets into your body. That's very important.
But what about drinking milk during a cold Mishori says, "Drinking milk during a cold possibly does make you uncomfortable. But clearly if you have a baby and that's all it drinks, you should not stop giving the baby milk."

The (1) ________ of people having colds in winter It is because of the cold virus rather than low temperatures that people have a cold in the cold weather.
(2) ________ of people getting the cold virus The common cold virus is passed from one person to another by ways of handshakes, sneezing or coughing.
