21、 The flu season arrives so predictably, and affects so many of us, that it’s hard to believe that scientists have had very little idea why cold weather helps germs to spread.
Worldwide, up to five million people catch the illness each flu season, and around a quarter of a million die from it. Part of its power comes from the fact that the virus changes so quickly that the body is hardly prepared. “The antibodies we’ve built up no longer recognize the virus – so we lose our immunity,” says Jane Metz at the University of Bristol. It also makes it harder to develop effective vaccines, and even if one comes out, governments often fail to persuade enough people to take it up.
The hope is that by understanding better why flu spreads in winter, but naturally fades in summer, doctors could find simple measures to stop its spread.
Previous theories had centred on our behaviour. We spend more time indoors in the winter, meaning that we’re in closer contact with other people who may be carrying germs.
Another popular idea concerned our physiology(生理机制): the cold weather weakens your body’s defenses against infection. In winter, without much sunlight, we may run low on Vitamin D, which helps power the body’s immune system. Moreover, when we breathe in cold air, the blood vessels in our nose shrink, which affects the normal function of white blood cells, allowing viruses to slip past our defenses unnoticed.
While such factors both play some role, analyses suggested another ignored cause may have been lying invisible in the air that we breathe. Thanks to the laws of thermodynamics(空气热力学), cold air can carry less water vapor before it reaches the “dew point” and falls as rain. So while the weather outside may seem wetter, the air itself is drier as it loses the moisture. And researches in the past few years has shown that these dry conditions seem to offer the perfect environment for the flu virus to flourish.
In wetter air, the epidemic struggles to build strength, while in drier conditions it spreads like wildfire. And comparing 30 years’ climate records with health records, Jeffrey Shaman at Columbia University found that flu epidemics almost always followed a drop in air humidity.
【1】What can we infer from the second paragraph ?
A.We lose immunity due to the absence of our antibodies.
B.The antibodies fail to function due to variation of virus.
C.Government should come up with better ways to persuade people.
D.One in four of the infected die from the influenza each flu season.
【2】What is the purpose of understanding better why flu spreads in winter?
A.To help develop effective vaccine.
B.To seek ways to treat people infected with flu.
C.To figure out ways to cut off its transmission.
D.To explore how to defend our immune system.
【3】In what weather condition a flu epidemic is more likely to occur ?
A.Destroying bodies’ immune system.
B.Powering our bodies’ immune system.
C.Killing numerous viruses that we take in.
D.Stopping us acquiring enough Vitamin D.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Ways to prevent infection of flu B.Flu-A disease not so hard to prevent
C.A predictable flu season D.Why germs spread in winter

23、 More primary care doctors in a community (社区) appear to lead to improved life expectancy for people living there,though a lack of such physicians across U.S. could be a cause of concern for overall population health in years to come.
For the study, researchers looked at physician counts per 100,000 people in a range covering 2005 to 2015 in the U. S.,along with life expectancy and specific causes of death. They found that an increase of 10 primary care physicians per 100,000 population was associated with a 51. 5-day increase in life expectancy, while an increase of 10 specialty physicians per 100, 000 population increased life expectancy by 19. 2 days. An increase in primary care physicians also was associated with reductions of many deaths including heart diseases and cancers.
Along with those findings, though, the study said many communities did not have primary care physicians in 2015,with the decline in supply more prominent in rural areas than their urban areas. Many believe that a well-functioning health care system requires a solid foundation of primary care, however, payment difference between primary care and technical specialties continue to dispirit the U. S. primary care physician workforce.
“Higher pay and lifestyle preferences lead most students to choose non-primary care fields, even when their hearts say primary care,” the study said. “We must turn this trend around with practical changes in physician payment policy; no amount of superb primary care training or creative practice reform will prevent further declines in primary care physician, which will lead to worsening health for the United States. ”
The study’s researchers conclude that future research should focus on the “quality and cover of primary care,types of primary care physician training and service offerings, and effective access rather than just supply”.
【1】What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A.Provide some data for the readers.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Years ago, I became the secretary of Jack, a strict and bad-tempered man.
One day, Jack threw the papers on my desk-his eyebrows knit into a straight line as he glared at me. “What’s wrong?” I asked. He jabbed (戳) a finger at the proposal. “Next time you want to change anything, ask me first,” he said, turning on his heels and leaving me in great anger. How dare he treat me like that, I thought. I had changed one long sentence, and corrected grammar, something I thought I was paid to do.
It’s not that I hadn’t been warned. Other women who had worked my job before me called Jack names I couldn’t repeat. One coworker took me aside the first day. “He’s personally responsible for two different secretaries leaving the firm,” she whispered.
As the weeks went by, I grew to look down upon Jack. His actions made me question much that I believed in, such as turning the other cheek and loving your enemies.
One day another of his rude behaviors left me in tears. I stormed into his office, prepared to lose my job if needed, but not before I let the man know how I felt. I opened the door and Jack glanced up. “What?” he asked abruptly.
Suddenly I knew what I had to do. After all, he deserved it. I sat across from him and said calmly, “Jack, the way you’ve been treating me is wrong. I’ve never had anyone speak to me that way. As a professional, it’s wrong, and I can’t allow it to continue.”
Jack smiled nervously and leaned back in his chair. I closed my eyes briefly. God help me, I prayed. “I want to make you a promise. Whatever you do, I will be a friend,” I said. “I will treat you as you deserve to be treated, with respect and kindness. You deserve that. Everybody does.” I slipped out of the chair and closed the door behind me.
Jack avoided me the rest of the week.
