When a virus attacks (攻擊) your body, your body works hard to get rid of (消除) it. You may feel very uncomfortable, ___but your wonderful body is doing what it can do to kill the cold. You may have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells (細(xì)胞).Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is eating the virus.

___不同的人做不同的事情來(lái)應(yīng)對(duì)感冒。In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might have chicken soup to help them to cure the cold. Some people take hot baths and drink warm water. Other people take medicine to stop different symptoms(癥狀)of colds.

There is one interesting thing to note.___some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is bad for you. The virus stays in you longer 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. ___如果你不吃藥，你得花一周來(lái)消除感冒，but if you do, you still need 7 days.

Many of us have feelings of loneliness as we grow up. Some teenagers can’t stand eating alone in the dining hall, and girls even go to the restroom hand in hand. They fear being called a “l(fā)oner”. In these cases, we might use the word “l(fā)oner” in a disapproving (不贊成的) way.

However, it can actually have a good meaning as well. It all depends on our attitude toward being alone.

“It’s hard to feel lonely when you’re trying to master a new skill, practice a hobby or try out a new recipe,” wrote US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux. She used to be a terrible cook, but whenever loneliness hit her, she would buy a lot of ingredients and figure out how to make them into delicious dishes. After a few months, she became good at cooking. If you can make use of your solo (單獨(dú)的) time, you’ll find that it won't trouble you.

People are becoming more peaceful about being alone. This doesn’t mean we should totally shut ourselves from the outside world, of course. But it doesn’t hurt to have some “me time” once in a while.

The Loneliness

My heart has grown rich with the passing of years,

I have less need now than when I was young

To share myself with every comer

Or shape my thoughts into words

It is the same to me whether they come or go

As long as I have myself

Let them think I care, though I go alone;

If it lifts their pride, what is it to me

Who am self-complete as a flower or a stone.

If a friend gives us a hand when we are in need, it’s a good idea to write him a thank-you note.

【1】

“People don’t seem to walk around giving thanks to people quite often,” Amit Kumar from University of Texas said.【2】And how do people feel when they receive one?

Kumar and his team asked some students to write a thank-you note to another person by email. Then, they asked both the writer and the receiver how sending or receiving these notes made them feel.

They found that the students didn’t like to write the notes because they felt like they had to think too much about them.【3】

The receiver, however, enjoyed the notes. “When you are a receiver, you focus on the warmth of the note.” Kumar says. “How heartfelt was it? How friendly and warm? ”

The writers also thought the receiver might be shy for receiving a thank-you note. 【4】“The receiver feels quite happy,” Kumar says.“They don't really feel shy at all.”

Writing a thank-you note does have such a big influence on others.【5】Simple and small changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference to the way we treat other people and how we feel.

A. If people knew this, they would do it more often.

B. Thank-you notes can show our great love.

C. Why are people shy about sending thank-you notes?
