Coronaviruses are a large group of viruses that are common among animals. In rare cases, they are what scientists call zoonotic (人畜共患病), meaning they can be transmitted from animals to humans, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is believed that the novel coronavirus spreads from human contact with animals. Bats are widely believed to be carriers of the latest strain of the disease.

Chinese researchers said on Friday that the endangered pangolin (穿山甲) may be the intermediate host between bats and humans.

The viruses can make people sick, usually with a mild(輕度) to moderate(中度) upper respiratory tract illness(上呼吸道疾病), similar to a common cold, including a runny nose, cough, sore throat, possibly a headache and maybe a fever, which can last for a couple of days. For those with a weakened immune system, the elderly and the very young, there's a chance the virus could cause deadly diseases.

What's horrible about this virus is that once a human is infected, he/she becomes a carrier of the virus and spreads it to more people by coughing, sneezing or even handshaking. The virus can also be transmitted (傳播) by touching something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. Doctors and nurses may also catch the disease when taking care of the patients, so they are required to wear strict protective clothes.

Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for the disease at this stage, which makes the outbreak a challenging one to control. Besides, since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect the whole world, the influences of the novel coronavirus are huge-damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors and weakening the entire country.

To fight against the disease, as individuals, we should strictly follow the requirements of the government to stay at home and help to prevent the spread of the disease. In terms of the government, a strong health care system can surely help decrease the risk of health attack and lessen the impact of the disease.

【1】How many people have been affected since the outbreak of the new Chinese coronavirus?

【2】Where does the novel coronavirus come from according to the researchers?

【3】What symptoms (癥狀) may people have when they are affected?

【4】Why are doctors and nurses required to wear strict protective clothes?

【5】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

Madeline’s family vacation to the beach was usually the highlight of her summer. This year, however, her parents announced a new_________: no phones allowed for the entire week. “No distractions,” they said.

“But my friends will be_________updates,” Madeline protested (抗議). ”

“They’ll have to_________,” her mom said.

“What if something bad happens?” Madeline changed her strategy (策略). Her mom shook her head as she opened a drawer. Madeline saw that her parents’ phones were already in it. Madeline had to drop her_________in, too.

The drive to the beach house took most of the day. That night after dinner, Madeline wandered into the kitchen, where her father was_________dishes.

“Still hungry?” he asked.

“No,” she answered. Then she gave him a loving look and said in her sweetest voice, “Couldn’t I have my phone back? Just so I can tell everyone what a(n)_________time I’m having?”

“Can’t,” he said. “It’s not here. Remember? Check out the bookcase in the living room,” he suggested. “Might find something you like.”

She walked into the living room and spotted a jigsaw puzzle (拼圖玩具) on the bookcase. She took it, put the pieces on the table, and began to work on them.

After what seemed like minutes, she looked up. It was past ten o’clock. She had been working for almost two hours! The puzzle was less than half done. It would have been nice to_________a picture of the puzzle with her friends, she thought.

The next morning, a golden sun was rising over the blue ocean. The sky was cloudless. The scene reminded Madeline of a photo that Brandi had shared. Her friends had oohed and ahhed (對(duì)……大加贊賞) over it. This view was even better. It would leave everyone_________. Madeline’s hand reached for the bedside table, but there was nothing there.

That evening, Madeline lost herself in the jigsaw puzzle again. She felt a little excited every time the shapes met. Soon, all that were left were a few gaps. She quickly put the remaining pieces into place. The puzzle was complete.

She stepped back to appreciate the finished puzzle. The picture showed an old painting of several farmhands working in a brown field and there was a giant rainbow arching across the sky.

Madeline enjoyed the puzzle for a few minutes, trying to keep the image in her mind. Then, she quietly started taking it apart. That, she thought, was just for me.

Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres (英畝) per minute! As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America. They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.

So this June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest. “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all us,” said Myers.

Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.

Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.

Myers also talked about the big disaster about the rain forest fires in the Amazon—the lungs of the Earth. The Amazon forests produce 20% of the world’s oxygen (氧氣). Even if it’s just a small part of the rain forests that are destroyed, it’s a great loss to the whole world. That means, once an area of land burns, it doesn’t regrow as forest. Now Myers’ students know that we should try to protect the rain forests, or the last drop of water on the earth will be our tears.
