• 2．Different from popular thoughts，colds are not caused by bad weather.They are caused by viruses（病毒）in the body.
     The virus can spread through air when a cold- sufferer（感冒患者）coughs or sneezes（打喷嚏）.
     But this is not the most usual way of spreading.Many studies show that most colds are"caught" by hands.A cold-sufferer rubs（揉）his or her nose，and spreads the virus to his or her hand.Then a friend comes to visit him or her.They shake their hands.The friend then gets something to eat by hand，and several days later his or her friend also catches a cold.Although some parents pick up .their children's tissues（纸巾）and carefully throw them away，they don't wash their hands.They'll catch the colds，too.
     Cold viruses can also spread by objects，such as telephones and plates.The cold-sufferer as well as other member of the house，by washing their hands often，will stop the viruses from spreading in a way.
  
  （1）Colds are caused by

  .
  A．bad weather
  B．viruses
  C．tissues
  （2）The underlined word "spread" means

  in the passage.

  C．don't often wash their hands

  .
  A．washing hands is a way to keep us from catching colds
  B．the cold-sufferer kisses his or her friends
  C．we should stay in a warm room on snowy days
  （5）Which is the best title for the passage？

  
  A．The Cause of Colds.
