Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B , C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct 
answer to each of the questions from 01 to 05 . 
 The vast majority of us have experienced the common cold at one time or another. This can range from brief 
periods of feeling tired to major serious influenza – or the flu. The financial losses caused by the common cold 
have a huge impact on the US every year as millions of days are lost from work, not to mention absences from 
schools and colleges. 
 However, what is referred to as the common cold is not just one, but over 200 different viruses which are 
known to produce cold symptoms. Roughly 30 to 35 percent of all adult colds are caused by nasal passage 
viruses or rhinoviruses, of which well over a 100 different types have been identified. Still, the causes of up to 
half of all adult colds remain unknown. 
 In general, symptoms appear within 48 or 72 hours after infection and include the usual runny nose, sore 
throat, sneezing, headaches, body aches, temperatures and possibly bouts of fever. Although most sufferers pull 
through within a week, symptoms can last from between two to fourteen days. In some cases a cold can result in 
secondary infections, especially in the middle ear and sinuses, and they require treatment with antibiotics. The 
human body’s defense system is extremely complex and actively operates to eliminate viral infections. This is 
done by generating and then releasing white blood cells which defend the body against infection.
