Questions 31 to 35 are bad on the following passage:
There are some steps you can take yourlf to avoid catching a cold. Contrary to popular
belief, colds are not caud by exposure to vere weather. Colds are caud by virus (病毒) harbored in the body, and you’re better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a toast warm room, surrounded by friends, co-workers, or fellow students, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill when you’re coming down with a cold, you’re already sick. A chill (寒冷) is an early symptom: it’s the cold that caud the chill, not the other way around.
