Long ago, scientists studied the viruses that cause diseases. They found out that after a person has had a
disease, he seldom gets it again. He is said to be immune to that disease. This means that his body has developed
a way of fighting the germs. However, people do not seem to become immune from colds. This fact puzzled the
scientists for some time.
The scientists already knew that the cold is caused by a very tiny kind of germ called a virus. Therefore, they
tried to capture cold virus. They wanted to study it in the laboratory. They knew that if they succeeded, they
would be able to find a cure for colds.

Finally, a scientist did manage to grow cold germs in a laboratory. He discovered that there are a hundred
kinds of cold viruses. Each of them can cause people to have colds. If a person becomes immune from some,
there are still many others that can infect him.
Fortunately, a person develops more immunities as he grows older. That is why adults are less likely to catch
cold than children.
Câu 41: Why don’t people become immune from colds?
A. Because people are not healthy.
B. Because the virus is strong.
C. Because the germs are too small.
D. Because there are many kinds of cold viruses.
Câu 42: Which of these people are most likely to have cold?
A. scientists B. doctors C. old people D. young children
Câu 43: A person becomes immune against a disease ……………………… .
A. by growing germs that cause it B. after having caught it once
C. after studying the virus that causes it D. by capturing the virus in the laboratory
Câu 44: By growing germs in the laboratory, the scientists discovered that ………………… .
A. there is a complete cure for colds
B. colds are caused by germs and viruses
C. there are many different types of viruses that cause colds
D. there is a way of developing immunity against colds
Câu 45: The word “fact” in line 4 refers to …………………… .
A. why people do not get immune from colds
B. how scientists were unsuccessful in capturing the cold virus
C. the method of capturing cold germs to study
D. how our bodies develop immunities as we grow older
