问题 Cold weather and colds are so closely linked in out minds that it’s usually hard to tell which came first．Ben Hemmens is the father of three children，including four-year-old Sophie．According to medical experts．it is normal for kids around this age to catch cold four to five times a year．In adults，the ratio is about two or three times a year．
    Still says Dr．Ranit Mishori，of Georgetown University Hospital，many people believe it’s possible to become immune to colds．Unfortunately，she says，that’s not the case．“There are about 200 different viruses that cause the common cold and people think that once you get infected one time you develop immunity for the rest of your life．This is wrong，”she said．
    There are many other common beliefs about colds that medical science does not support．How many of us believe the main cause of the common cold is exposure to cold temperatures? Even some studies have shown that people get sick more frequently during the winter．
    But Dr．Mishori says it is not because of the cold weather．“It’s because people tend to get congregate and be together and the way the common cold virus is transmitted from one person to another is through handshake，through sneezing，or through coughing on one another．’’
    While there is no actual cure for the common cold，Dr．Mishori says there are still a few things you can do to help reduce its duration and intensity．Though the medical community says Vitamin C does not help prevent colds，there is definitely some proof that it helps keep them from being as bad．“So if you catch a cold and on day one you start taking about two grams of Vitamin C a day there is evidence that it might shorten the number of days that you will be suffering with these symptoms，”Dr．Mishori stated．
    In addition，medical science says honey and chicken soup are effective against colds．Especially honey．“There is increased evidence that it helps shorten the durmion of the common cold sometimes even by two to three days particularly in children，”Dr．Mishori said．“Chicken soup has anti inflammatory properties so it helps reduce the duration of the cold but it also helps clear the mucus．”
    There’s also a common belief that you should“feed a cold and starve a fever”．Dr Mishori says… not necessarily．”“If you do have a cold and you don’t feel like eating anything it’s not going to hurt you but you have to drink a lot and you can drink water or tea anything that gets fluids into your body，"she said．“That’s very important．”
    So…if drinking fluids is a good idea…What about milk? Nadine Audrey，the Hemmens kids’grandmother，believes it’s not a good idea to give milk to a child who has a cold．
There is evidence that if you take two grams of Vitamin C daily when having a cold，______．
选项 A、your cold will be cured with great effect
B、your suffering duration will be shortened
C、your cold will go from bad to worse
D、your cold symptoms will be relieved
答案B
解析 文章倒数第四段提到．虽然维生素C不能阻止感冒，但有证据证明它可以保证感冒不会发展得更糟。如果从感冒的第一天起每天吃2克维生素C，有证据表明这可以有效地缩短你的感冒持续时间。因此B项为正确答案。A项说维生素C可以很有效地治愈感冒，与原文表述不符。C项说感冒变得更厉害了，说法不正确。D项说感冒症状会减轻，是利用原文suffering with these symptoms设置的干扰项。
