How Can You Fight colds?

People usually catch a cold in the spring time and fall. It makes us question: if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can’t they find a treatment 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 treatment for each one.

When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood(血液) rushes into your nose and brings congestion(堵塞) with it. You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but in fact your body is “eating” the virus. Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat(高温) of your body is beating the virus. You might also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting to your cells(细胞). You may feel awful, but in fact your wonderful body is doing everything it can to beat the cold.

Different people have different ways to fight colds. In Canada and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm drinks. Other people take medicines to stop the fever, congestion and runny nose.

There is one interesting thing to note — some scientists believe that taking medicines when you have a cold is really bad for you. We know that bodies can do a great job on their own. Taking medicine can make the virus stay in you longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and beat it. There is a joke on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: It takes about 1 week to get over a cold if you don’t take medicine, but only 7 days to get over a cold if you take medicine.

flower verges

Plantlife, a plant protection organization, is predicting   a   boost   for   wild   flowers   because some councils (地方议会) have stopped mowing (割) wild flower verges or parks in Britain during the COVID- 19 crisis.

Over the years, Plantlife has been urging councils to cut grass less often. It also wants them to put off cutting until flowers have had chance to seed.

The charity says it has seen a change in attitudes in recent years. Now Plantlife's research suggests that mowing has been among the first activities to be cut under the COVID-19 crisis. That's partly because staff are sick or self-isolating (自我隔离), and there is a need to save money as budgets are squeezed (财政预算紧张). Mr. Dines from Plantlife said that an increase in public support for wild flower verges had already persuaded some councils to limit cutting, which was a fairly welcome change.

In Stockton-on-Tees Borough, grass cutting will be limited to the least levels with the exception of areas where it is needed to ensure public safety. For example, to maintain lines of sight at road junctions (路口). In Newcastle, grass cutting will stop for the time being. In Wigan, the maintenance of non-essential grass cutting will also be stopped for the foreseeable future. Its council has acted quickly to rearrange staff to frontline services, such as trash bin collections.

Meanwhile, the reduction of traffic during the COVID-19 crisis will produce another benefit for wild flowers. Typically, roadside verges are filled with nitrogen emissions (含氮排放气体). This fertilizes (使肥沃) the tougher species which can use the nitrogen to grow and out-compete more delicate wild flowers. Mr. Dines said: "There has been a great change in the quality of air-we can see so much more clearly into the distance. The lack of pollutants is going to help wildflowers on verges."

1. Planlife may probably agrees that__________.

A．councils should mow verges or parks more often

B．councils should put off cutting until flowers seed

C．councils should call on the public to support mowing

D．councils should cut its budget to save money in the crisis

2. The purpose of the fourth paragraph is to__________.

A．give examples of where the grass cutting will not be allowed

B．present how councils have acted to deal with COVID-19 crisis

C．explain the reasons why some councils stop grass cutting for now

D．show the changes in grassing cutting in Britain due to COVID-19 crisis

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A．Grass cutting will be completely stopped in Stockton-on-Tees Borough.

B．Mowing has been cut under COVID-19 crisis partly due to a lack of staff.

C．Staff in Wigan were rearranged from trash bin collections to grass cutting.

D．Wild flowers can use the nitrogen to grow and out-compete tougher species.

4. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A．Covid-19 crisis could help wildflower grow.

B．The reduction of traffic could help wildflowers.

C．Cutting grass less often could help wildflowers.

D．A change in public attitude could help wildflowers.
