　　Many teachers believe that the responsibilities (责任，职责) for learning lie with the students.   1   a long reading assignment is given, professors expect students to be familiar with the   2   in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The   3   student is considered to be   4   who is motivated (激发) to learn for the sake of   5   , not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned   6   brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is   7   for learning the material assigned. When research is    8   , the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with   9   guidance. It is the   10   responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain   11   a university library works they   12   students, rarely grade students, to be able to exhaust the reference   13   in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but   14   that their students not be   15    dependent on them. In the United States, professors have many other duties   16   teaching, such as administrative (行政的) or research work.   17   the time that a professor can spend with a student out of class is   18  .

    Scratchy throats, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold or flu may make a difference in how long the misery lasts.

    The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds and the flu(流感), and one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. That's because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come.

    The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses - flu A, B and C. There is no cure for either illness , but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine, which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA. But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have many similarities , there are some obvious signs to look for.

    Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms.

    The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like symptoms.

Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome(综合症) ，a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system.

There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.

　A) shorten the duration of the illness

　B) the patient buy medicine over the counter

　C) the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugs
