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．
According to the common belief“feed a cold and starve a fever”，people should_______when catching cold,
选项 A、eat a lot even if they don’t feel like eating
B、have as much water and tea as possible
C、drink milk to get fluids into their bodv
D、starve themselves to a certain extent to kill the virus
答案B
解析 根据关键词feed a cold and starve a fever定位到最后两段。原文说，如果你得了感冒，不想吃任何东西，没关系，你只要多喝水或茶之类就可以了。因此A项不符合原文。B项正确。接下来文章又说，有人认为给感冒的孩子喝牛奶不是个好主意，因此C项与原文表述不符。D项在文中没有提到。
