The most common disease in the world is the cold. It often starts with a sore throat . You sneeze and your nose runs. You usually have a headache, too. Often you have a cough later. It's not a serious disease, but you can feel quite bad.
There isn't a cure (良药) for a cold, but you can take some medicine to make you feel better. For example, you can take aspirin (阿司匹林) to get rid of (去除) your headache. It is good to rest. and to drink a lot of water, too. A doctor once told me.With the right medicine. a cold will last for seven days. With no medicine, it will go on for a whole week!
A long time ago, people understood that some plants made them feel better. For example, the juice of lemons (柠檬) makes a sore throat feel better. In modern times, scientists have found out which chemicals (化学药品) are in them. Man, of our medicines today are made from those chemicals. There are some diseases that we can't cure yet. And nobody has found a cure for old age. But because of modern medicines, the average people now live longer than their grandparents.

(答案→)C 解析：世界上最常见的疾病是感冒。通常开始于喉咙痛。你打喷嚏和鼻子。你经常头痛。以后你经常咳嗽。这不是一个严重的疾病，但是你可以感觉很糟糕。没有良药治愈感冒，但是你可以采取一些药让你感觉更好。还有很好的休息和喝大量的水。医生曾经告诉我。“正确的药物。一个感冒将持续7天。没有药，它会持续一个星期!”很久以前，人们明白，有些植物让他们感觉更好。例如，柠檬的汁使喉咙痛感觉更好。今天我们的药物是由化学物质组成。有一些我们不能治愈的疾病。没有人发现如何治愈老年。但由于现代药物，人们现在平均寿命比他们的祖父母更长。【小题1】细节理解题。问题：感冒是以什么方式开始的？原文：The most common disease in the world is the cold.
