听力原文：The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressio

听力原文： The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. For example, a large nose is said to indicate a great man—manly, courageous, courteous, and intellectual.

In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, "to hold up one's nose" expresses a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places.

A person who is led around by the nose is one that lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide himself.

For the human emotion of frustration, the phrase "to have one's nose put out of joint" is very descriptive. The expression applies to people who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel humiliated. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.

This is only a sampling of expressions in English dealing with the nose. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling!

(33)

A．Courteous and intellectual.

B．Polite and masculine.

C．Brave and intelligent.

D．Considerate and romantic.

听力原文：Colds have always been a nuisance, and people have tried many strange ways to cur

听力原文： Colds have always been a nuisance, and people have tried many strange ways to cure them, However, none have worked. one Roman historian even recommended kissing the nose of a hairy mouse (29) ! But up till now we are only a little closer to finding a cure for it.

Scientists have discovered that a cold is not caused by a single virus, but by many. They have proved that people under stress are more likely to catch colds, although why this happens is still unknown (30) . Experiments also showed that women suffer more colds than men. But again, scientists are unable to explain why this is so.

Another experiment proved that getting cold does not cause colds. For this experiment, one group of human volunteers were showered with water and then made to stand in a windy corridor. Another group remained dry and inside a heated room. While you might expect people in the first group to catch colds more easily, they didn't.

one other thing that we now know is that colds are spread by water vapor from breath. This would explain why colds are more common in the winter than at other times: people spend more time indoors closer to other people, and also away from flesh air (31) .

(30)

A．Keeping warm and dry.

B．Drinking a lot of liquid.

C．Living close to the hospital.

D．Kissing the nose of an animal.
