4、(1)Our child’s behavior is greatly influenced by the way we react to what he has done. Our reactions help to determine whether our child will repeat his behavior or whether he will do something different.

5、（1）Everyone knows what happens when you catch a cold. First you get a sore (疼痛的) throat. Then you sneeze (打嚏). After coughing and blowing your way through the next few days, it's over… until the next time.（2）Every year 69% of Canadians will suffer at least one cold. Colds are responsible for a great deal of lost time at work and at school.（3）There is no known cure for the common cold.

Adults, who have been exposed (遭受) to more viruses, tend to suffer fewer colds than children.（4）The occurrence of colds tends to increase in the winter but NOT because of the cold! Cold weather has not been shown to increase the number of colds. People spend mo
