27、. The passage is most probably from the part of _ in a newspaper.A. sportsB. businessC. cultureD. educationDWhen its getting colder outside, its time for flu season. But why do people catch a cold or flu more often when its old outside? In a new study, scientists have found the answer. It turns out

The study found that when the temperature inside the nose drops by 5C, nearly 50 percent of the billions of EVs will be taken out of the fight. Cold air makes people catch v
