There are so many different stories about how to prevent or cure a cold, it’s often difficult to know what to do. Although colds are rarely dan gerous, except for people who are already weak, such as the elderly or young babies, they are always uncomfortable and usually most unpleasant.

So always check with your chemist or doctor to see whether they are all iight for you. And remember they might make you sleepy —- please don`t try to drive if they do! Lastly, as far as avoiding( 避免) colds is concerned, whatever you may be told about magic foods or drinks, the best answer is to keep strong and healthy — you`ll have less chance of catching a cold, and if you do. it shouldn’t be so bad!90 This is from _____.A. a doctor's notebookB. a diaryC. a magazineD. a school text book97 What is the writer’s intention?A.
