六、短文填空
Many people catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can't they find a cure for the common cold The answer is easy. There are hundreds of kinds of cold viruses (病毒) out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one.
When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to fight 48 it. Blood rushes to your nose and brings congestion (拥堵) with it. So you can't 49 (breath) well. But your body is actually "eating" the virus. Your temperature 50 (rise) and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus 51 (get) into your cells. You may feel very 52 (comfortable ), but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.
Different people have different remedies(方法) for colds. In China and some 53 countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel 54 (well). Some people take hot baths and drink warm water. Other people take medicine to stop the fever, congestion, and runny nose.
There is one interesting thing to notice—some scientists say 55 (take) medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you 56 (long) because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, 57 only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.
48. 49. 50. 51. 52.
53. 54. 55. 56. 57.
