Вам следует обеспечить организм свежими фруктами и овощами, мясом, рыбой и так далее – иными словами, пищей, богатой протеином.
Part 2
Есть ли что-либо, что помогает избежать укусов комаров?
Известно, что комары нападают на тех людей, которые употребляют пищу, содержащую много соли и сахара.
Вам следует также избегать лосьонов после бритья, одеколонов и духов, потому что они привлекают насекомых.
Part 3
Иногда мне бывает очень трудно сконцентрироваться на учебе.
Исключить из рациона все продукты, содержащие сахар и крахмал --пирожные, белый хлеб, картофель.
Part 4
Я часто встаю утром, чувствуя себя хуже, более уставшим, чем перед сном.
Прежде всего, вам явно не хватает физических упражнений.
Упражнения не обязательно должны быть интенсивными; достаточно хорошей прогулки.
Part 5
Что мне следует делать, чтобы нормализовать давление?
Меньше ешьте и больше занимайтесь физическими упражнениями и возьмите отпуск, чтобы забыть о работе.
Вы должны отвести свежим фруктам значительное место в вашей диете.
Part 6
Я страдаю от аллергии в течение многих лет.

В-третьих, вам лучше избегать холодной пищи или питья, которые оказывают резкое воздействие на организм.

2. Listening Exercises
2.1. Listen to the recording and identify the following statements as True or False.
All the volunteers who stay at the Research Centre are infected with a solution of cold germs.
The researchers from the Common Cold Research Unit haven’t found a cure yet.
Vitamin C applied in large doses seems to help people even if taken after a cold has started.
Interferon does give good results, but it’s wildly expensive.
The best way to treat a cold is to have plenty of rest and to take plenty of liquid.

3. Language Focus
3.1. While listening to the tape this time pick out and write down the sentences containing the word “research”. There are 7 of them in all.
3.2. Check your auditory memory by giving the English equivalents for the following Russian sentences.
Не могли бы вы вкратце рассказать о своей работе?
Мы просим добровольцев провести в исследовательском центре 2 недели и вносим в их организм простуду.
Мы инфицируем их раствором, содержащим микробы простуды. Другие получают обычную чистую воду.
Наши исследователи не знают, какие из добровольцев были инфицированы.
- Как Вы набираете добровольцев? -- По их устному согласию.
Затем мы можем изучать эффект различных способов лечения простуды.
Нашли ли Вы средство лечения?
Я бы хотел избавиться от некоторых предрассудков. Простуду вызывают микробы, а не мокрые ноги, холодный воздух или нахождение на сквозняке.
Если Вы будете лечиться от простуды, то поправитесь за неделю.
Похоже, что большие дозы витамина С помогают некоторым людям, если он применяется при первом же проявлении простуды. Однако если простуда уже началась, витамин С малоэффективен.
Интерферон дает хорошие результаты, но он чрезвычайно дорогой.
