     Age plays a major part in people who are infected with cold, ie, in people who suffer from cold
infection. A study done by University of Michigan, has shown information that seems to be true for the
general population. Babies are the most cold infected group, generally more than six colds in their first
year. Boys have more colds than girls up to the age of three. After three, girls are easier to get infected
with cold than boys, and teenage girls get three colds a year to boys' two. The general cold infections
continue to get less into adults. Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds
every year. One interesting thing is found among people in their twenties, especially women, who show
a rise in cold infection, because people in this age group are most likely to have young children.
     The study has also found that economy plays an important role as well. With more and more income,
the frequency at which colds are reported in the family is getting lower and lower. Families with the lowest
income usually suffer about a third ally forces people to live in rooms more crowded than rooms owned
by richer people, and the crowding usually leads to more chances for the cold virus to travel from person
to person. Low income may also have an effect on our diet. Many scientists believe that a poorer diet
usually leads into more possibilities of cold infection.
1. Which of the age groups has the highest frequency of cold infection?
A. Small babies.

　　A new study suggests that very young children who watch a lot of television may have attention problems later in school．

　　Children with attention problems cannot sit still or control their actions．They talk too much, lose things, forget easily and are not able to finish tasks．

　　People with attention problems may suffer a condition known as Attention Deficit Disorder(A．D．D．)．Experts say the cause of A．D．D．involves chemicals in the brain．Teachers say many children in the United States are showing signs of disorder．Some education researchers have been saying for years that watching television at a very young age could change the normal development of the brain．For example, they say that children who watch a lot of television are not able to sit and read for an extended period of time．

　　The new study tested the idea that television watching by very young children is linked to attention problems by the age of seven．It involved more than 1300 children．There were two groups of children, ages one and three．Researchers at Children’s Hospital in Seattle, Washington reported the results in the publication Pediatrics(兒科)．They asked the parents how often the children watched television．The parents also described their children’s actions at the age of seven using a method that can tell if someone suffers Attention Deficit Disorder．

　　The children who watched a lot of television at an early age were most likely to have attention problems．Every hour of watching television increased the chances of having attention problems by about ten percent．

　　The researchers say that all the children with attention problems might not have A．D．D．But they still could face major learning problems in school．The findings support advice by a group of doctors that children under the age of two should not watch television．

　　One of the researchers says there are other reasons why children should not watch television．Earlier studies have linked it with children becoming too fat and too aggressive(好斗的)．Other experts say the new study is important, but more work needs to be done to confirm the findings and better explain the cause and effect．

　　本文描述的是兒童看電視對他們以后的一些消極的影響。孩子過早地看電視或者看電視過多都會導(dǎo)致孩子記憶力難以集中，多動，好斗，容易忘事等等。

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

At the age of sixteen, I joined a volunteer group with my dad. I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that “our family” was living in a trailer(拖車) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced.

We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new house – something unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed with their new house that was twenty by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.

On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, "What do you want for your new room?" Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, "I just want a bed."

The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.

When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.

That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds tog tether, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm from the doorway.

As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, "What is that?"

"A pillow," she replied.

"What do you do with it?" Eric continued to ask.

"When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.

"Oh . . . that's soft," he said, hugging it tightly.

Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my Dad gently asks, "Do you have a pillow?"

We know exactly what he means.

56．The writer’s first volunteer project was         .

A．working on a poor trailer       B．helping a poor family

C．donating beds and bedding      D．dealing with a housing problem

57．On bearing Josh’s answer, the writer was shocked because         .

A．the family lived in a trailer     B．he expected to get some toys

C．he didn’t know what a bed was      D．the boys had no bed to sleep in

58．From the passage, we can learn that Eric had never seen      before.

A．a(chǎn) trailer    B．a(chǎn) truck      C．a(chǎn) pillow    D．a(chǎn) house

59．By saying “Do you have a pillow?”, the writer’s father means that        .

A．what they want to get may be unnecessary

B．they should not waste money on small things

C．they should do more volunteer work for the poor

D．what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow
