More than 95 percent of people in the world have phones today. Phone calls and messages help us easily keep in touch with others. It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show, Letters Alive is bringing back this old habit.

Letters Alive got its idea from a UK program with a similar name. Both shows invite famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or different competitions. Instead, it’s just one person walking up to microphone and read the letter.

The letters were written by people from different times in history. Guan Zhengwen, the director of the TV show, said, “Every letter opens another world for us. It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers.”

Since its first episode（集）on December 5th, Letters alive has been widely praised. Many audiences-- the people who watched the TV show, said that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today’s TV shows.

Besides Letters Alive, some other cultural TV shows have also been well received by Chinese audiences. They include Chinese Poetry Conference, a classical Chinese poetry competition, and Readers, a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote.

“This means that our audiences are not only looking for entertainment like gossip（八卦）and eye-catching games, ” reported China Youth Daily. “Cultural values and true feeling are the keys to winning praise.”

Everyone has an important role in society. In this time of public crisis（危機）, it’s important that each of us sticks to our roles and plays them well. What can common people do in this crisis? How are the Chinese people taking on their special responsibilities? Here are some of the examples.

The novel coronavirus（新冠病毒）made this year’s Spring Festival very different for most of us. Many places in China began a first-level emergency (突發(fā)事件) response to the virus at the end of January, calling for people to stay at home. Following these rules, most people gave up family dinners during the Spring Festival and canceled any festival celebrations.

“It’s the quietest Chinese New Year I’ve ever had,” Xin Jingrong, a 14-year-old student from Nanning, Guangxi. It was the first time that Xin’s grandmother had to put off her trip to Nanning and stay alone in her hometown.

The control all over China not only separates many families, but also ▲ . Many shops are closed, delivery services are slow, and wearing masks in public has become a must. But people are showing their understanding and cooperation (合作).

Tong Zexi, a 15-year-old student from Harbin, has not gone out in more than 20 days. “I know I need to protect myself and cause no trouble. In this key time, when one gets sick, many others could be influenced.”

More than simply following the rules, some people have done amazing things to help fight the outbreak. On Feb 3, Zhao Junyan, a Junior 2 student from Shanghai, brought 15,000 masks from Indonesia back to China, People’s Daily reported. Zhao, while traveling in Jakarta, collected the masks with his uncle, who works in the city. The 15-year-old gave away all of the masks to Cangnan, Zhejiang, his hometown. “When a country is in trouble, everyone is responsible to help,” Zhao said to the reporter. “What I have done is what an normal Chinese person can possibly do.”

As a popular speech says nowadays, “We are all fighters!” Everyone has his or her role to play in this fight. And it’s believed that we can soon enjoy the warm sunshine and beautiful spring freely outside!

1.What do we know about Xin Jingrong?

A.Xin lives in Nanjing. B.Xin’s grandmother celebrated this Spring Festival alone.

C.Xin is a quiet person. D.Xin’s grandmother was unable to go back to her hometown.

2.In the fourth paragraph,which of the following sentence can be put in the ▲ .

A.cheers up many people B.makes the world more colorful

C.makes daily life inconvenient D.brings fears to people

3.If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

(①=para.1 ②=para.2 ③=para.3 ④=para.4 ⑤=para.5 ⑥=para.6 ⑦=para.7)

A.①②③;④⑤⑥;⑦ B.①;②③④⑤⑥;⑦

C.①②;③④⑤;⑥⑦ D.①;②③④;⑤⑥⑦

4.The story is mainly about________.

A.what teenagers do to enjoy themselves at home in the crisis

B.what Chinese people do to take on their responsibilities in the crisis

C.how Chinese New Year was celebrated this year during the Spring Festival

D.how common people’s lives are changed by the virus in the crisis
