根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

    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.

Are you an "I" person or an "E" person? People have talked about it a lot online recently. They are part of a popular personality (性格) test called MBTI.

Everyone's result has four letters. "I" and "E" are the first letters. People are either "I", meaning introverted (内向的), or "E", for extroverted (外向的).

But sometimes introverted people can be outgoing, too. For example, an "I" person will hang out with a group of introverted friends. The person may do things a more "extroverted" person would do. For example, he or she may share their thoughts and feelings with others and ask strangers for directions.

I'm one of these kinds of people. Most of the time, I show an interest in new classmates and friends. I talk with them to show I'm friendly. But honestly, I like being alone and staying quiet.

I have to say, the personality test is just for fun. Everyone's personality is different. Don't let the test tell you who you are.

In this case, I was a bad example. I used to be very interested in my friends' MBTI results. I would get upset if their results didn't match the way I see them.

Soon, I think everyone might have a "personality stamp". For example, "P" people don't like to make plans. On the other hand, "J" people are planners and list-makers. My sister is a "P" person. She never plans. But one day, she was happily making a day-to-day travel plan for the holiday.

"I thought you were a 'P' person," I said to her.

"Do I have to follow what my personality test tells me?" she replied.

"Oh no," I said to myself. "I've taken the result too seriously."

The four letters don't tell you everything about a person. And no one should live according to what four letters tell you.

 C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words 

Researchers have developed a printer that produces 3D personalized chocolate. The printer, which produces 3D chocolate by b{#blank#}1{#/blank#} up successive layer is thought to be an improvement in gift shopping. It has already received huge amounts of interest from shopkeepers. 

It is hoped that project will eventually see people designing and creating their own products across a wide range of gifts. The l{#blank#}2{#/blank#} researcher, Dr. Liang said, "What makes this technology special is that users will be able to design and make t{#blank#}3{#/blank#} own products. "In the long term it could be developed to help consumers. design many products from different m{#blank#}4{#/blank#}" From the shape of a child's favourite toy to a friends' face, the possibilities are endless and only limited by our ideas, " he said. 

The research team is now looking to develop a consumer stage where people will be able to send their own chocolate designs for 3D printing. They will also be able to browse through the designs of other users, but can't c{#blank#}5{#/blank#} them without permission. Dr. Liang added, "Eventually we can may see many mass-produced products being r{#blank#}6{#/blank#} by unique designs created by customers. "

This is an imaginative application of two developing technologies as well as a good example of how creative research can be applied to create new products and sales-ideas. 

He also said, "By combining developments in engineering with the commercial potential of the digital economy, we can have a look at the future of new markets—creating new jobs and, in this case, sweet business opportunities.
