Yesterday evening, when I went to town with my mother, we met a strange old man. It was raining hard and we had no umbrella. We were trying to get into a taxi when he came up to us. He was carrying a nice umbrella and said that he would give it to us for only a pound. He said he had forgotten his wallet and needed taxi fare to go back home. My mother didn’t believe what he had said at first, and asked him a lot of questions. But she finally gave him a pound. However, the old man didn’t get into a taxi. We follow him and found he went into a pub and bought himself a glass of whiskey with the pound. After he drank it, he put on his hat and took up one of the many wet umbrellas there and went off. Soon after that, he sold it again.

Over the last more than one year, the coronavirus pandemic(冠状病毒疫情) has affected different countries and regions in different ways. Here, we’ll take a look at a few of the most important events that have happened.

On March 10,2020, the Italian government decided to put the whole country on lockdown after the number of cases(病例) in the country started increasing quickly. People were suggested not leaving their home. The first case was detected(检测到) as early as January 31. In the following weeks, the number of cases reached over 10000 by the time of the lockdown. The lockdown affected 16 million people across the country. Italy was one of the first of many countries that carried out lockdowns to prevent the spread of the virus.

On March 11, 2020, World Health Organization(WHO世卫组织) officially characterized(描述) COVID-19 as a pandemic. This was because of a growing number of cases around the world. By this time, there were more than 20000 cases in Europe, including 1000 deaths, as well as 1000 cases in the US.

On March 24, 2020, President of the International Olympic Committee(IOC) Thomas Bach announced the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, which were planned to be held in Tokyo would be delayed until the following year in the interest of protecting public safety.

On April 28, 2020, the US official recorded over one million COVID-19 cases nationwide. This came just four days after it was announced that the virus had resulted in over 5000 deaths across the country. The virus spread rapidly across the country as the first case had been recorded three months earlier.

Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight? Here’s something you can do.

Be calm. Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can’t solve problems. Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you more problems. In the school, everyone involved(卷入) in a fight will be punished, no matter who started it. There are no winners in a fight.

Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack, turn toward the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say “stop” before walking away. Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down. If the person doesn’t slop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.

________ Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not real helpful for him. If you really want to give him a hand, try to ask him to give it up. Also, you can tell him if he gets involve in a fight, he may get hurt and be punished. Then, try to learn why he wants a fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.

As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. Some chemical factories always pour     77     water into the     78    . And they also produce terrible gas. In some places, some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment.

How to protect the environment? First, as a student, we should use cloth bags instead of     79     bags when we go shopping. Second, we’d better reuse the old textbooks as possible as we can. Third, we should, never forget to turn off the lights when we leave the classrooms. In a word, we must try     80     best to protect our environment. I believe we can make the world a     81     place to live in.
