51、OSSDThe common cold is the worlds most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives. The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not.

One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easi
57、er for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms(症状).68. The writer offered _ examples to support his argument. A. 3 B.4 C. 5 D. 6 69. Which of the following does not a
