PASSAGE
You would think that the common cold should be easy enough to study. But it is
not so east as its looks. Colds often seen to spread from one person to another, so it is
often assumed that the cold must be infectious, but there are some puzzling observations
which do not fit in with this theory. An investigator in Holland examined some eight
thousand volunteers from different areas and came to the conclusion that in each group
of thousand volunteers from different areas, the colds all appeared at the same time-
transfer of infection from case to case, could not account for that. Yet at the common cold
research unit in Salisbury, the infection theory has been tested out, two series of about
two hundred people each were inoculated, one with salt water and the other with
secretions from known cold victims. Only one of the salt-water group got a cold,
compared with seventy-three in the other group.
In the British medical journal the other day, there was a report of a meeting, “the
common cold-fact and Fancy” at which one of the speakers reported a study of colds made
in Cirencester over the last five years. Three hundred and fifty volunteer had kept dairy
records of their colds and on an average each had seven every year with annual
morbidity of seventy days. So nearly one fifth of our lives is spent in more or less misery,
coughing and sneezing, some widely held beliefs about the common cold have turned
out not to be true. It seems that old people are just liable to colds as he young. Sailors in
isolated weather ship have just as many colds while on board and not in contact with the
outside world as when on shore. It is a truism that common illnesses pose more problems
than the rare, the rare disease is but
comparism much easier to handle. There are not so many cases and all of them have
been intensively studied. Some have read up all the literature about the disease and
published a digest of it. There will be more facts and fewer fancies.

Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follow.
It is possible to have a glimpse of life after death. Man has always believed in an after
life, but only today do we have scientific reports of people who seem to have experienced
the sensation of dying but lived to tell about it. Ongoing research is documenting
hundreds of cases each year of the near-death experience [NDE] and scientists think
they are finding a clearly indentifiable pattern: usually a man dying and, as he reaches
the point of greatest physical distress he hears himself pronounced dead by his doctor.
He begins to hear an uncomfortable noise, a loud ringing or buzzing and at the same
time feels himself moving very rapidly through a long dark runnel. After this he suddenly
finds himself outside of his own physical body, but still in the immediate physical
environment and he sees his own body from a distance as though he is a spectator. He
watches the resuscitation attempt from his unusual vantage point and is in a state of
emotional upheaval.
After a while, he collects himself and becomes accustomed to his odd condition. He
notices that he still had a “body”, but one of a very different nature and with very different
powers from the physical body he has left behind. Soon after, things begin to happen.
Others come to meet and to help him.
He glimpses the spirits of relatives and friends who have already died, and a loving,
warm spirit of a kind he had never encountered before “a being of light”- appears before
him. This being asks him a question, nonverbally-to make him evaluate his life- and
helps him along by showing him a panoramic instantaneous playback of the major
events of his life. Then he finds that he must go back to the earth that the times for his
death has not yet come. At this point he resists, for by now he is taken up with his
experiences in the afterlife and does not want to return. He is overwhelmed by intense
feelings of joy, love and peace. Despite his attitude, though, he somehow reunites with
his physical body and lives
