問題詳情

四、閱讀測驗If you dress in warm clothes, stay out of drafts, and keep dry, will you be able to avoid catching a cold? Notnecessarily.Many people have believed that colds are caused by getting chilled and wet. Statistically, colds do seem to bemost common in winter and least frequent in June and July. Observers of such patterns of occurrence thereforereasoned that keeping warm helped to prevent colds, while getting cold and wet produced colds.But if this is so, how can we explain accounts from Arctic and Antarctic explorers who, in spite of exhaustion,near starvation, and exposure to frigid conditions, did not catch cold? Then upon returning to the warmth andcomforts of civilization, they often succumbed immediately to colds.Additional contrary evidence may be found in the experiences of inmates of World War II Nazi concentrationcamps. During the late autumn and winter months, prisoners were forced to take showers and then stand wet andnaked in the open air. They fully expected to catch colds; to their surprise, most did not.Doctors today believe that the common cold is caused not by dampness and cold but by a virus. However, if thevirus is present, it does seem to thrive better in a body whose natural powers of resistance have been weakened byexposure to the cold and wet.
