M：How many of you drink coca-cola? Nearly everybody. Did you know that cola started out not as a soft drink, but as a cure for headaches back in the late eighteen hundreds?
John S. Palmerton, a doctor from Atlanta, had experimented for many months to find a cure for the common headache. He worked at his home mixing and heating oils with other materials until he found one mixture that seemed to have good effect on headaches.

He began to sell the mixture in drugstores. The customers had to mix it with water before drinking.
Then, how did cola change from a drug to a soft drink? That came about quite by accident. One day a patient who was suffering from a headache came into a drugstore. He asked for a bottle of cola. He wanted to take it right away, so he asked the clerk to mix the medicine while he waited. It so happened there was no boiled water at the store. The clerk suggested mixing the drug with soda water. The customer agreed. After drinking it, the customer said it tasted wonderful. The clerk continued offering the mixture, and cola gradually became popular.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
The fact that trees are vital to our life is not a secret. They provide us with food, wood and most importantly, oxygen. Now there is one more thing we can add to this list — blocking out harmful bacteria from water.
The discovery was made by a team consisting of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and high school students who were seeking a natural water filter (过滤器) — one that would help communities in developing countries that do not have access to modern water filter systems.
The researchers, led by Professor Rohit Karnik, decided to turn to trees for help because they could allow liquid to flow through, while blocking out air bubbles.
They began by cutting 1.5-inch-wide sections of tree bark from the branches of a white pine tree. The researchers then tested the wood’s filtering ability by pouring water containing red dye particles of different sizes through. To their surprise, they found that it was effective in trapping all the particles. Encouraged, the team conducted another experiment, this time with water that contained bacteria. Sure enough, the sapwood held back 99% of the bacteria, allowing only 1% to flow through.
Mr. Karnik said that the bark was able to filter water containing much smaller particles. This means that they can be used to get rid of a majority of bacteria, since most are at least 10 times as wide. However, what troubles them is that tree bark isn’t blocking out viruses, which tend to be much smaller.
Also, while the pine sapwood is effective, we must remember one thing — it only works when damp. This means that before this natural filter can be put into practical use, the researchers will have to figure out how to keep the wood damp, or find a way to keep the bark’s great filtering ability even when it’s dry!
But the team is not done yet. They plan on testing other types of sapwood, including
