Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50.
The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues that flesh receives. The most widespread fallacy of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions, explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches cold and wet showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War, prisoners a Auschwitz concentration camp, naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be sipped with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching cold, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.

Quan niệm sai lầm phổ biến nhất là sự cảm lạnh này bị gây ra bởi lạnh. Nhưng không phải vậy. Chúng do virus lây từ người sang người. Bạn mắc bệnh khi tiếp xúc, trực tiếp hoặc không trực tiếp, với những người đã mắc bệnh. Nếu nhiễm lạnh gây ra cảm cúm, thì sẽ hợp lý khi cho rằng người Eskimos sẽ mắc bệnh này mãi mãi. Nhưng họ không bị bệnh. Và ở những vùng bắc cực biệt lập những nhà thám hiểm đã báo cáo không mắc bệnh cảm cúm cho đến khi tiếp xíc lại với những người nhiễm bệnh từ thế giới bên ngoài thông qua bưu kiện và thư tín vận chuyển bởi máy bay. Trong suốt Thế chiến thứ nhất những người lính dành khoảng thời gian dài ở trong các chiến hào lạnh lẽo và ẩm ướt, đã cho thấy không có xu hướng gia tăng việc mắc bệnh cảm. Trong Thế chiến thứ hai, những tù nhân tại trại tập trung Auschwitz khét tiếng, trần trụi và đói, đã kinh ngạc khi thấy họ hiếm khi mắc bệnh cảm. Tại đơn vị nghiên cứu bệnh cảm lạnh ở Anh, những tình nguyện viên đã tham gia vào thí nghiệm mà trong đó họ để mình chịu đựng sự không thoải mái của việc bị lạnh và ẩm ướt trong một thời gian dài. Sau khi tắm nước nóng, họ mặc đồ tắm, ngâm mình trong nước lạnh, và sau đó đứng dưới nước lạnh nhỏ giọt trong căn phòng lạnh lẽo. Vài người mang vớ ướt cả ngày trong khi số khác tập thể dục trong mưa cho đến khi gần như kiệt sức. Không ai trong số tình nguyện viên mắc bệnh cảm lạnh trừ khi một con virus cảm cúm đi vào mũi người đó. Nếu lạnh lẽo và ẩm ướt không liên quan đến bệnh cảm lạnh, vậy sao chúng thường phổ biến vào mùa đông? Mặc cho những nghiên cứu kĩ lưỡng nhất, không ai tìm ra câu trả lời. Một lời giải thích được đưa ra bởi các nhà khoa học đó là mọi người có xu hướng ở chung trong nhà vào thời tiết lạnh hơn những thời gian khác, và điều này dễ dàng cho virus cảm cúm lây truyền. Không ai tìm ra cách chữa trị bệnh cảm cúm. Có những loại thuốc và thuốc giảm đau như aspirin, nhưng tất cả chỉ làm giảm triệu chứng mà thôi. |
