完形填空：从A、B、C中，选择一个最佳答案，使短文意思完整。（福建厦门卷）
Many people catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us 41 : if scientists can send a man to the moon, 42 can't they find a good remedy(疗法) for the common cold？ The answer is easy. There are hundreds of kinds of cold viruses(病毒) out there. You never know which one you will 43 , so there isn't a remedy for each one.
When a virus attacks(攻击) your body, your body works hard to get rid of(清除) it. You feel terrible but your body is actually 44 with the virus. Your temperature goes 45 and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus.
Different people have different remedies for 46 . In America and some other countries, some people take hot baths and drink warm water to feel better, others 47 to stop the fever and runny nose.
There is one interesting thing to note – some scientists say bodies can do an amazing job on their own when you have a cold, so taking medicine isn't actually 48 for you. The virus stays in you 49 because your body doesn't have a way to kill it by itself.
There is a 50 , however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this: It takes about 1 week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but only 7 days to get over a cold if you take medicine.

文章大意：
春秋季节，人们容易患感冒。人们还找不到治疗感冒的好方法，因为有数以百计的感冒病毒，你永远不会知道你感染了哪一种感冒病毒。当病毒攻击我们的身体的时候，我们的身体也在和病毒作斗争。关于感冒是否吃药的问题，有一个有趣的笑话：如果你不吃药，感冒大约一周可以痊愈；如果你吃药，仅仅7天感冒就可以痊愈。

43．B 考查动词辨析。fix“修理，固定”；get“得到”；hit“打击，击中”。由句意：你不会知道你感染了哪一种病毒。故选B。
