But things are still different e
8、nough to be unsettling (使人不安的)One of the first differences I noticed was the opening hours of shops here.During the week，supermarkets close at 7：30 p.m., at the latest. On Sundays, they arent open at all. On my first weekend here, I wasnt at all prepared for this. I planned to go into town to pick u
9、p things Id forgotten to bring. I wanted to get some groceries, too, after a few days of eating out. A friend had warned me that nothing was open on Sundays, but I didnt realize she was serious. So, I wandered around town, coming across shop after shop with doors closed.I ate out again that Sunday,
10、and I learned my lesson.To begin with, I thought it was highly inconvenient.What if I ran out of milk in the evening, or wanted to buy biscuits before bed? In the UK, I was so used to large supermarkets, which stayed open until at least 10 p.m., if not for twentyfour hours. But now, I have to buy fo
11、od every Saturday. “What do people do here on Sundays?” I asked my flatmate.She just looked at me. “Nothing .” she replied.If its inconvenient, then theres also something nice about it.Who needs to be able to buy soup or soap or bread twenty four hours a day? No one really needs to of course. But it
12、s nice, too, to have Sundays completely free from material worries. Sundays here are all about relaxing for hours in coffee shops and spending time with friends. Sunday is a day of rest.People in the UK often complain, “I thought Sundays were meant to be a day of rest!”, while rushing to work, doing
13、 chores(家庭杂务) or standing in queues in shops. Well, here in Austria, it really is a day of rest. Its different, but its a difference I can definitely get used to.4Where does the writer probably come from?AAustria.BBritain.CAsia.DAfrica.5How did the writer feel when he was told shops didnt open on Su

15、ant beat it, but you dont have to join it. Maybe it got the name “common cold” because its more common in winter. The fact is, though, being cold doesnt have anything to do with getting one. Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses(鼻病毒), and, at least so far, medical science is better at telli
16、ng you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one.Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults, because they have more colds than adultsan average of about eight per year. Why do kids seem so much more easily to get colds than their parents? Simple. They havent had the
17、 opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses. There are more than 150 different cold viruses, and you never have the same one twice. Being infected by one makes you immune(免疫的)to it but only it.Colds are usually spread by direct contact, not sneezing or coughing. From another persons hand to y
18、our hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route. The highest concentration of cold viruses anywhere is found under the thumbnails(拇指甲)of a boy, although the viruses can survive for hours on skin or other smooth surfaces.Hygiene is your best defense. Wash your hands frequently, prefer
19、ably with a disinfectant(消毒剂) soap, especially when children in your household have colds.But even careful hygiene wont ward off every cold. So, what works when a coughing, sneezing, runny nose strikes?The old prescription(处方)of two aspirins, lots of water, and bed rest is a good place to start. But

25、esearcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. “Children being bullied will find it hard to trust others,” Zhou said. “They may often feel anxiety, anger, hatred or depression. These emotions will further destroy their ability to control their own life.”In recent years, bullying on Chines
26、e campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijings Zhongguancun No. 2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute s

Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports including middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including improving c
