        Another critical factor that plays  a part in susceptibility to colds is age.A study done by the University of Michigan School of Public Health revealed particulars that seem to hold true for the general population.Infants are the most cold-ridden group,averaging more than six colds in their first years.Boys have more colds than girls up to age three.After the age of three,girls are more susceptible than boys and teenage girls average three colds a year to boys' two.

        The general incidence of colds continues to decline  into maturity.Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds annually.One exception is found among people in their twenties,especially women,who  show a rise in cold infections,because people in this age group are most likely to have young children.Adults who delay9 having children until their thirties and forties experience the same sudden increase in cold infections.

        The study also found that economics plays an important role.As income increases 9the frequency at which colds are reported in the family decreases .Families with the lowest income suffer about9 9a third more colds than families at the lower income generally forces people to live in more cramped quarters than those typically occupied by wealthier people,and crowing increases the opportunities for the cold virus  to travel from person to person.Low income may also adversaly influence diet.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the surface of the Moon:basalt and breccia.Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava common to the E

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived from a place name.In the seventeenth century,French tailors began making trousers out of a specialized t
