40(A)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 good medicine for a cold, but you can take me dicine tomake you feel better. It’s good to rest, and to drink a lot of water, too. A doctor once told me, “With no medicine, it will go on for a whole week!”Where does our medicine come from? A long time ago, people found that some plants made them feel better. They ate leaves, roots, fruits or seeds of plants. We know the juice of lemons makes a sore throat feel better. In modern times, scientists have studied many plants, and found out what chemicals are in them. Many kinds of our medicine today are made from those chemicals. There are some diseases that we can’t treat yet. But because of modern medicine, people now live longer than their grandparents.( )26.
