Lawrence S. Bacow12:46 PM To: campus-notify-all @ harvard. Edu > Testing Positive for COVID-19 Dear Members of the Harvard Community, Earlier today, Adele and I learned that we tested positive for COVID-19. We started experiencing symptoms (症状) on Sunday — first coughs then fevers, chills, and muscle aches — and went to see our doctors on Monday. We were tested yesterday and just received the results a few minutes ago. We wanted to share this news with all of you as soon as possible. Neither of us knows how we contracted ( 感 染 ) the virus, but it is good news that we met fewer people recently. We began working from home and completely limiting our contact (接触) with others on March 14, taking social distancing measures. The Department of Public Health will be in touch with anyone with whom we have had close contact over the past fourteen days. We will be taking the time we need to rest during a two-week isolation ( 隔 离 ) at home. I am happy that we have a great team, and many of my colleagues will be taking on more responsibility over the next few weeks to teach students online when Adele and I focus on just getting healthy. Thanks, in advance, for your good wishes. This virus can lay anyone low. We all need to be alarmed and keep following guidelines to limit our contact with others. Your quick actions over the past few weeks — to respond to the needs of our community, to finish our teaching, and to do research that will save lives — have moved me deeply and made me very grateful and proud. I hope to see as few of you in our situation as possible, and I urge you to continue following the guidance of public health experts and the advice and orders of our government officials. The world needs your courage, creativity, and intelligence to beat this virus — wishing each of you good health. All the best, Larry 【1】What’s the writer’s purpose of sharing the news?

One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school? Listen—Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say；they just need someone to talk to about their feelings. Help them—If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need. Be there for them—Try to make something for your friends to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for friends. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time! Try to organize some activities with your friends ahead of time. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to the movies and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old! 【1】While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, you should . A.give him or her some advice B.just listen unless asked C.calm him or her down D.share your feelings as well 【2】What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe’s words? A.Life without a friends is death. B.A friend is easier lost than found. C.A friend in need is a friend indeed. D.A man is known by his friends. 【3】Which of the following can be put in the blank of the last paragraph? A.Make plans. B.Enjoy yourself. C.Understand your friends. D.Play with your friends. 【4】What is the passage mainly about? A.How to find a good friend. B.How to help friends in trouble. C.How to be a good friend. D.How to make more friends. |

My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window?” Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time. “Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. But I didn’t mean to. It was caused by a throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that? I didn’t even get an allowance. “My father is going to have a fit.” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I was pulled it skyward. I told the truth. “ I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had. My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me. “I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden face. “Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It’s time we got a new one for the school anyway. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.” I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide — the very one that I had been saving up money to buy. All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo forever. 【1】From the second paragraph, we can learn that the boy _____. A.didn’t break the window on purpose. B.too frightened to admit his guilt. C.was able to pay for the big window. D.didn’t know what the teacher would find out. 【2】If the boy admitted guilt, he thought he would NOT ______. A.be punished by the teacher. B.make his father angry. C.pay for the broken window. D.get a bird field guide. 【3】Which of the following best describes the changes in the boy’s feelings? A.Afraid--Surprised--Thankful B.Frightened--Amazed--Proud C.Regretful--Guilty--Excited D.Nervous--Afraid--Satisfied 【4】What is the lesson the boy’s teacher taught him? A.Every coin has two sides. B.Honesty is always valued. C.Bad luck never comes alone. D.It’s never too late to be careful. |

After a morning hike in the Saneum HealingForest,46-year-old firefighter Kang Byoung-wook has tea made from the bark of an elm tree, practices yoga (瑜伽),and makes a picture with dried flowers. He is one of 40 firefighters taking part in a three-day program, the aim of which is to offer“forest healing" (森林治愈);the firefighters all have posttraumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍). Saneum is one of three official healing forests in South Korea. Soon there will be 34 more. South Koreans-many of whom suffer from work stress, digital addiction, and great academic pressure have accepted the medicalization of nature with great enthusiasm. There is increasing evidence that being outside in a pleasant natural environment is good for us. But how many of us get to enjoy nature regularly? Fewer and fewer, it seems. According to Lisa Nisbet, a psychology professor at Canada s Trent University, evidence for the benefits of nature is pouring in at a time when we are most disconnected from it. "We don't think of being outdoors as a way to increase happiness," says Nisbet."We think other things will, like shopping or TV."But South Korea is starting to challenge this opinion. So what are some of the benefits of nature that Nisbet refers to? Being surrounded by nature has one obvious effect: It calms us and reduces our stress levels. This has been shown to lower blood pressure and heart rates. Another experiment conducted by psychologist Stephen Kaplan found that people who took a 50-minute walk in a park had better attention and short-term memory than those who took a walk along a city street. Perhaps what's more surprising is that nature may also make us more creative. David Strayer, a psychologist at the University of Utah, showed as much with a group of participants, who performed 50 percent better on creative problem-solving tasks after three days of wilderness backpacking. In fact, we may never know exactly what nature does to the brain. Something mysterious will always remain, and maybe that' s as it should be. 【1】What is Kang Byoung-wook doing? A.Getting lost in nature. B.Building up his strength. C.Trying to control a forest fire. D.Helping firefighters under stress. 【2】What does Lisa Nisbet think of being outdoors? A.It is overlooked by people. B.It has nothing to do with happiness. C.South Koreans show great interest in it. D.We need more evidence for its benefits. 【3】What benefit of nature did Stephen Kaplan find? A.It affects people's feelings. B.It lowers the risks of diseases. C.It helps improve mental performance. D.It does more good than physical exercise. 【4】What would be the best title for the text? A.Your life in forests B.Your brain on nature C.The future of forest healing D.The benefits of a stress-free life |

A conversation with a good listener is like a good meal—we walk away feeling satisfied and happy. 【1】 Here are 4 ways to make your conversation partner feel like you’re fully tuned in to their personal radio station. 【2】 Making your conversation partner feel safe starts with two things: an open mind and keeping judgment to yourself. Just as immersing（沉浸）yourself in a novel requires suspension of disbelief, immersing yourself in listening requires suspension of opinions or advice. While judgments may appear into your head, set them to the side. Ask questions to follow your natural curiosity. When you’re interested, ask questions. 【3】 Ask for examples. Ask for details. Following your natural curiosity by asking questions not only shows you are listening and interested, but almost always produces an interesting story. Listen with your whole body. In many a kindergarten classroom, teachers emphasize something called “whole body listening”. It goes like this: use your eyes to watch nonverbal（非语言）, your brain to think about what is being said, your heart to feel emotions» and keep the rest of your body quiet to show respect. But many of us lose it over time, especially as life gets busy. The result? We often try to multitask while listening. 【4】 Validate（使生效）with simple phrases. Keep in your back pocket some validating words and phrases to show you’ve heard someone. “Of course.” “That makes sense.” “Naturally.” “Clearly.” “For sure.” 【5】 In conversation, combining those little phrases: “Of course you feel that way.” or “That makes total sense.” doesn’t necessarily convey agreement, but it does convey something even bigger： acceptance. A. Create safety. B. Devote yourself to listening. C. It’s appealing to talk about your own experience. D. We half-listen while getting things done or staring at a screen. E. Think like a journalist and ask what, when, where, why or how. F. But being a good listener goes way beyond just not interrupting or nodding your head. G. All of these statements confirm a person’s experience or feelings as worthy and accepted. |

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Undoubtedly, Britain is a nation of hat wearers. From taking off hats 【1】 launching mortar boards(学位帽) in the air, hats have long been associated with ceremonies and practices. Even the history of the country can 【2】(tell) through hats. 【3】(date) back to medieval England, the flat cap became a symbol of working class culture in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Edwardian era was 【4】 golden age of hats, when the decorations became even more delicate, ranging from flowers, birds to fruits. The pork pie hat, starting in the mid-19th century, was the 【5】(choose) for many welldressed Victorian citizens. Decades later it 【6】(gradual) became a key feature of London street style. By the 1960s, though, hats faded out of people's sight because of the rise of private cars. It was the Royal Wedding 【7】(hold) in 2011 that contributed to the return of hat wearing. For example, Hat Works Museum — the only museum in Stockport featured in hats and hat making — is 【8】(popular) than ever, with a distinct increase among its visitors.

The variety of hats in Britain 【10】(reflect) its multicultural background and rich cultural heritage. |

What is me? I have made up my mind become a middle school teacher. Does it sound surprising? I begin to have this dream when I was only the child. I love children. I don’t think that is a waste of time to deal with them all the year around. On the contrary, to me it means happiness and joyful. Although teachers are badly needed in our country, but not many of us want to become teachers. The main reason for this is that teaching is one of the most stressed jobs. In spite of that, I’m determined to give all my lives to the cause of education. |
