Spreading truth and knowledge If you have ever talked to doctors in the hospitals, you may find that many of them are quite serious and speak in a range of terms that may be difficult to understand. But Zhang Wenhong, the leader of the Shanghai team of experts in the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia, is one of the exceptions. He caught the public's attention for his recent frank and funny speech. Zhang's words first went viral (走红) on the internet after he said in late January that he had dispatched (派遣) doctors and nurses who are members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to frontline hospitals to treat coronavirus cases. “When becoming CPC members, we vowed (发誓) that we would always prioritize people's interests. . . in the face of difficulties,” Zhang said. “This is the moment we live up to the pledge (誓言). All CPC members must rush to the frontline. No bargaining.” Such a hardcore declaration of his attitude won widespread applause among internet users. A person's morals are witnessed most in a critical situation. Nothing could win more recognition from the people than the down-to-earth behavior of the CPC members,” said Yang Haiyan, a 32-year-old Shanghai resident. One month later, when Zhang advised local residents to reduce the risk of spreading the virus by staying at home, he said in Shanghai dialect: “If you don't stop seeing friends, you will see them again in the ICU.” Though chased by the media, Zhang described himself as a medical worker who must speak out now, but will return to keeping a low profile after the outbreak ends. “I spoke because of the fear among the public, owing to limited knowledge of the contagion (传染病),” said Zhang on Feb 26. “However, once the curtain of this coronavirus incident falls, it may be hard to find me. I'll just hide myself in a corner, studying complicated patient cases and doing some reading, silently. ” 【1】What has made Zhang Wenhong so popular online? A.The way he treats his patients. B.His honest and humorous speech. C.His pledge to fight against the virus. D.His broad knowledge of the novel coronavirus. 【2】He dispatched CPC members to frontline hospitals because he believed that . A.they would bargain less B.they are more professional C.they should take the lead as they had vowed D.they would be calmer in a critical situation 【3】What can we conclude from Zhang Wenhong's words in the last two paragraphs? A.He doesn't like to speak in public. B.He mainly treats people with complicated diseases. C.He is not a person who is after fame and attention. D.He is looking forward to taking a break after the epidemic. |

E-cigarettes lead to as many lung diseases as tobacco products, a new study has found. The report from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill compared saliva(唾液) samples from tobacco smokers, e-cigarette smokers and nonsmokers. Researchers found that e-cigarette smokers were likely to develop dangerous proteins associated with lung diseases. The study adds to a growing body of evidence proving that e-cigarettes might not be the perfect alternative smokers addicted to tobacco are looking for. Last year a Surgeon General’s report claimed that the use of e-cigarettes among a certain group of people jumped 900 percent from 2011to 2015 and more studies were carried out to research their side effects. That same year, the FDA put e-cigarettes in the tobacco products the administration monitors. Previous research from UCLA has proven that e-cigarettes can cause lifelong damage to one’s heart, and that one puff (吸一口烟) of an e-cigarette is all it takes to increase one’s risk of having a heart attack. For the new study UNC researchers observed 15 e-cigarette users, 14 cigarette smokers and 15 nonsmokers. The study revealed that e-cigarette smokers have raised levels of NET-related proteins in their airways, the increased levels of which can lead to lung illnesses, making it difficult for patients to breathe. Study author Dr Mehmet Keismer said, “There is confusion about whether e-cigarettes are ‘safer’ than cigarettes because the potential adverse effects of e-cigarettes are only beginning to be studied. Our results suggest that e-cigarettes might be just as bad as cigarettes. ” Dr Keismer also stressed that e-cigarettes come with their own harmful risks along with those linked to tobacco, which challenges the concept that switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes is a healthier alternative. A citizen named Dyclna said, “The e-cigarettes probably make you cough less, but nobody gives a warning about your lungs. For producers, it’s just a money thing — it’s just about getting profits from it. The problem is that our government just stands there with its hands behind the back. ” 【1】Why did the FDA list e-cigarettes into monitored products? A.It might have realized the harm of them. B.It wanted to improve their quality. C.It aimed to reduce their illegal sales. D.It might be warned by the government. 【2】What does Dyclna mainly want to express? A.E-cigarettes are safer than regular ones. B.E-cigarettes can only benefit few people. C.Producers make a high profit from e-cigarettes. D.Governments are to blame for e-cigarettes’ consumption. 【3】What is the best title for the text? A.E-cigarettes: A new way of smoking. B.E-cigarettes: A better way than tobacco? C.E-cigarettes: The harmful proteins it produces. D.E-cigarettes: The urgent need of government control. |

UN Humanitarian Chief Mark Lowcock today released US$15 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to help fund global efforts to contain the COVID-19 virus. The announcement came as the World Health Organization (WHO) upgraded the global risk of the coronavirus outbreak to “very high” – its top level of risk assessment. The WHO has said there is still a chance of containing the virus if its chain of transmission is broken. The UN funding has been released to the WHO and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). It will fund essential activities including being aware of the spread of the virus, investigating cases, and putting national laboratories into use. The WHO has called for US$675 million to fund the fight against coronavirus. There is a window of opportunity to contain the spread of the virus if countries take strong measures to detect cases early, isolate and care for patients, and trace contacts. Emergency Relief Coordinator and Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Mark Lowcock said, “We do not yet see evidence that the virus is spreading freely. As long as that’s the case, we still have a chance of containing it, by strengthening surveillance, conducting thorough outbreak investigations to identify contacts and applying appropriate measures to prevent further spread.” “This announcement from the UN’s Emergency Fund will help countries with fragile health systems improve their detection and response operations. It has the potential to save the lives of millions of vulnerable people.” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, said,“The potential spread of the virus to countries with weaker health systems is one of our biggest concerns. These funds will help support these countries get ready for detecting and isolating cases, protecting their health workers, and treating patients with dignity and appropriate care. This will help us save lives and push back the virus.” “At this critical moment, every effort must be made to push back against the outbreak,” said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore. “These funds will support our global efforts to promote weaker health systems and inform children, pregnant women and families about how to protect themselves.” 【1】We can learn from the passage that__________ . A.WHO referred to the COVID-19 as the medium level of risk assessment B.The virus is still hard to contain even if timely measures are taken C.The fund will help people with weak health D.The fund released by UN is much less than WHO originally demanded 【2】According to the passage, the fund can be used in the following aspects except ________. A.The examination of the people concerned B.The monitor of the the spread of the virus C.The operation of the national laboratories D.The establishment of the mobile hospital 【3】What is Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus’ attitude toward the fight against the virus? A.Optimistic. B.Skeptical. C.Cautious. D.Ambiguous. 【4】In which part of newspaper can you most probably read the passage? A.Travel. B.Health. C.Business. D.Lifestyle. |

Why Is 2020 Called a Leap Year? February 29 comes up on the calendar only every four years. A year with a February 29 might be good news if you are paid by the day or the week. But it might be bad news if you were born on a February 29.【1】. American English has a term for the unusual situation. February 29 is called a leap day. And the entire 12-month period with a February 29 in it is called a leap year. This year, 2020, is such a year. In a leap year, the dates jump over one day of the week. Let me explain. In 2017, the last day of the year, December 31, fell on a Sunday. In 2018, it fell on a Monday. In 2019, it fell on a Tuesday. But in 2020, December 31 will fall on a Thursday.【2】. The reason for a leap day or a leap year is because our calendar does not follow the Earth’s orbit around the sun exactly.【3】. So every four years, we put all that time together into an extra day — or, what is officially called an intercalary(闰) day. “Leap” is also an important word for two other common American expressions.【4】. If you want someone to investigate a situation completely before taking action, you might say, “Look before you leap.” The other expression is a phrase of hope. Urging someone to “take a leap of faith” means inviting the person to take action, even if not everything about a situation is known. Interestingly, both phrases are completely reasonable to say to someone who is about to get married. On that note, some people choose to marry on February 29 because it is an unusual date.【5】. Leap years were believed to be difficult, and leap days unlucky and a bad time to begin anything new. Whatever you think about them, the change in the calendar will be gone soon enough. Then we can return to normal, and leap over February 29 as usual. A.One is a kind of warning. B.That’s why we called it a Leap Year C.It just leaped right over Wednesday. D.Each year, we have a little time left over. E.You have to wait three years in between birthdays! F.As a verb, the word “leap” means to jump, or to move quickly. G.Some ancient peoples would likely tell couples not to do it, however. |

Today we can reveal it: always look on the bright side. A huge research project【2】(lead) by scientists at the Boston University School of Medicine concludes that optimists live【3】 (long). Lewina Lee, lead author of the study, said, “A lot of evidence【4】(suggest) that exceptional longevity( 长 寿 ) is widely accompanied by a longer span of good health and living【5】 disability. Therefore our findings raise an exciting possibility【6】 we may be able to promote health and happiness by【7】(develop) positive attitudes such as optimism.” However, the study doesn’t suggest that we should aim for great pleasure. Sadness is【8】 important part of the human condition. Any normal person sometimes experience disappointment, ambitions and the【9】(lose) of loved ones.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。 A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world’s people may not have enough water by the year 2025. A private American organization called Population Action International (PAI) did the new study. It says more than 335 million people lack enough water now. The people live in 28 countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East. PAI researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about 3,000 million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on the Earth stays the same. Mr Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase. The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. Mr Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera which are carried in water. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need large amounts of water when they are beginning. The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water for agriculture. The report also says long-term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth. |
