V, Read the following passage and then circle the best answer:
Colds from cold weather
If you dress in warm clothes, stay out of drafts, and keep dry, will you be able to avoid catching a cold? Not
necessarily.

Many people have believed that colds are caused by getting chilled and wet. Statistically, colds do seem most
common in winter and least frequent in June and July. Observers of such patterns of occurrence therefore reasoned
that keeping warm helped to prevent cold and wet produced colds.
But if this is so, how can we explain account from Arctic and Antarctic explorers who, in spite of exhaustion,
near starvation, and exposure to frigid conditions, did not catch cold? Then, upon returning to the warmth and
comforts of civilization, they often succumbed immediately to colds.
Additional contrary evidence may be found in the experiences of prisoners of World War II Nazi concentration
camps. During the late autumn and winter months, prisoners were forced to take showers and then stand wet and
naked in the open air. They fully expected to catch cold, to their surprise, most did not.
Doctors today believe that common cold is caused not by dampness and cold but by a virus. However, if the virus
is present, it does seem to thrive better in a body whose natural powers of resistance have been weaken by
exposure to the cold and wet.

C, In the future we may cure colds by treating the viruses that cause them.

3, Which of the following statement is not true:
A, Colds are most common in June and July.
B, Keeping dry will not necessarily prevent catching cold.
C, Arctic explorers caught cold when they returned to civilization.
D, Concentration camp prisoners were forced to stand wet and naked in the winter.
4, Which does the underlined word “their“ in paragraph 4 refer to?
A, concentration camps B, prisoners
