“How can I learn English well?” “This is a   26   many students may ask. In my opinion, the most effective(有效的)  27   is to learn lessons by heart.

Your English will be quite perfect.

This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not so hard  30  you might have thought. Learn this way, and you will  31  fast progress. Of cour se, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on your way to   32   in English studies.

(A)

The days are getting shorter and shorter, and temperatures are dropping. Winter is coming and it is easy for people to catch flu(流行性感冒). Many people have started taking vitamin C pills as a precautionary(预防的)way. But a research has shown that vitamin C pills do not provide as much protection as they think. They are even not as good as other ways, like often washing your hands. Some German scientists have given people information and a test on the subject helping to stop incorrect ways.

Whether it is caused by cold or flu, a runny nose and sore throat are signs of catching a cold. Many people overestimate(高估) the advantages of vitamin C and other pills. For years it was believed that taking vitamin C pills not only provided protection against colds but also against cancers, helping people to live longer. But the result of the research showed disagreement on these beliefs(看法). The result has now come out on the website wwww.informedhealthonline.org. “Some pills may not help people live longer. Some pills may even lead to earlier death,” says Professor Peter Sawicki. Scientists also say that the best way to get vitamins is through food instead of having vitamin pills. That is to say, we disagree with the way of taking vitamin C pills.

There are many simple but useful ways to lower the risk of catching a cold. These include often washing your hands with normal soap(肥皂) and water and not touching your face with your hands. People who have already had a cold can stop it from spreading by throwing away tissues(纸巾) at once after using them and not shaking hands with othe r people.
