Câu 1: With the onset of the winter season, man's natural enemies, the common cold and the flu, arrive with full force. It seems that the fluctuations in temperature and weather are guarantees that coughs and sneezes will spread inflecting germs among family and friends. More than 100 different types of bacteria can cause a cold, and doctors sometimes use antibiotics to treat bacterial colds. However, there are an equal number of viruses that can cause influenza, and modern science offers no drug capable of curing vital infections. In most cases, the best advice is the usual prescription: get plenty of rest, drink a lot of fluids, and be prepared to suffer for three to ten days. Some home cures help to relieve the symptoms of colds and flu. Mother's chicken soup, rich in fats and oils, helps to revitalize a tired body and to soothe a sorethroat. Garlic, containing the active ingredient allicin, has long been used to fight off the effects of bacteria and viruses. Hot toddies consisting of small amounts of liquor mixed with honey, sugar and lemon juice can relieve soreness and draw out cold germs. Finally, recent evidence suggests that large doses of vitamin C not only boost the immune system before a cold arrives, but also relieve cold symptoms after they have set in.

Câu 6: Hatred is a fundamental human emotion that has deep root in society and culture. Psychologists believe that group identity and cohesion depend to a large extent on having a common enemy. It seems that the existence of "bad guys" is an important element in defining who we are within a large realm. It could be said that human beings love to hate. The first signs appear early in life when a child, faced with blame for some mistake, immediately accuses another child or an inanimate object such as a teddy bear. Later, on the schoolyard playground, children in rival groups compete for attention and influence. These basic responses translate into more powerful emotions later in life. One area where deep-rooted hatred is exhibited is in the ethnic fights that constantly occur around the globe. These conflicts are not only over territory but also involve emotional issues of group identity and unity of purpose. For many, there is no "us" without a "them" to hate. In a word, where conflict between super powers is on the decline, it may be that humanity will have difficulty adapting to a state of mutual respect and cooperation.

A. Roots of society 

B. Group unity

C. A basic emotion
