The passage mainly discusses . A.the experiments on the common cold B.the fallacy about the common cold C.the reason and the way people catch colds D.the continued spread of common colds D Is language,like food,a basic human need?Judging from the result of the violent experiment by a German king.Frederick Ⅱ,in the 13th century,it may be.Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if the heard no mother tongue,he told the nurses to keep silent. All the babies died before the first year.But clearly there was more than language deprivation here.What was missing was good mothering.Without good mothering,in the first year of life especially,the capacity to survive is seriously affected. Today no such violent deprivation exists as that ordered by Frederick Ⅱ.Nevertheless,some children are still backward in speaking.Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitiveto the signals of the baby,whose brain is programmed to map up language rapidly.There are critical times,it seems,when children learn more readily.If these sensitive periods are neglected,the ideal time for gaining language skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. Linguistssuggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequenceand at a constant age,but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turn out to be of high IQ. Recent facts suggest that baby is born with the capacity to speak.What is special about Man’s brain,compared with that of the monkeys,is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of,say,a teddy-bearwith the sound pattern“teddy-bear . But speech has to be stimulated,and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child,where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling,grasping,crying and smiling,and responds to them.Insensitivityof the mother to these signals dullsthe interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals.Sensitivity to the child’s non-verbal signals in essential to the growth and development of language. 查看更多

The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives.

     The most widespread fallacy(谬误) 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(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.

In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz Concentration Camp(奥斯维辛集中营), 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 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 colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-taking 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(止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms.

Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage?

   A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.            

   B. Colds are not caused by cold.

   C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.                      .  .
