The World Health Organization, or WHO, has the following advice to protect yourself from being infected (感染) with the coronavirus (冠状病毒) or other flu-like diseases.
Wash your hands frequently
Clean your hands often and carefully with an alcohol-based hand cleaner or wash them with soap and water. Washing your hands kills viruses that may be on your hands.
Keep social distancing
Stay at least one meter away from anyone who is coughing or sneezing. When someone coughs or sneezes, they release (排放) small drops of liquid from their nose or mouth which may contain the virus. If you are too close, you can breathe in the liquid, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease.
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth
Your hands touch many surfaces where viruses can survive up to nine days. Once contaminated, hands can carry the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there the virus can enter your body and can make you sick.
Practice respiratory hygiene (呼吸道卫生)
Make sure that you, and the people around you, cover your mouth and nose with your elbow or facial tissue (面巾纸) when you cough or sneeze. Then throw away the used tissue at once.
If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early
Stay home if you feel unwell, even with small signs of infection such as headache and slight runny nose, until you recover.
If you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention, and follow the directions of your local health officer. Calling ahead (朝前地), will allow the health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health place. This will also help to prevent possible spread of the new coronavirus and other viruses.

【推荐1】About ten men in every hundred have the trouble of colour blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about five in every hundred are affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman.
There are different shapes of colour blindness. For example, a man may be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. Only a few unlucky men may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to say clearly. In only one eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”(圆锥细胞). These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”(棒), but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but no colors. People suffer from colour blindness when there is something wrong with the cones.
Some insects have favourite colors. Mosquitoes(蚊子) like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue light will. Human beings also have favourite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the help of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the help of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
1. Which of the following is true?| A．Red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. |
| B．Nobody can tell the difference between green and blue. |
| C．Fewer woman have the trouble of color blindness than men. |
| D．It’s easy for human beings to explain the color blindness clearly. |
| A．Because something is wrong with people’s cones. |
| B．Because there are no differences between colors. |
| C．Because it’s too dark for people to see the colors. |
| D．Because “rods” show people shapes but no colors. |

【推荐2】Snakebite kills up to 140,000 people a year. A further 400,000 people suffer life-changing injuries after being bitten by a snake. These injuries include amputation (截肢) and psychological trauma (心理创伤). At the moment, snakebite is treated using antivenom (抗蛇毒血清). People who get the right antivenom have a very high chance of being saved.
There are about 250 types of snakes around the world that have harmful venom (毒液). The venom from these snakes is very different, and this makes finding the right antivenom very difficult for scientists. Former Secretary General of the UN, Kofi Annan, describes snakebite as “the biggest public health danger you have likely never heard of”.
Scientists are hoping to find a good cure for snakebite. Experts on snakebite venom in India, Kenya, Nigeria, the UK and the USA are working together on a possible cure. They are using the same technology that was used to discover HIV antibodies (抗体). The scientists are trying to find ways of using human antibodies to fight against snake venom. Professor Robert Harrison, from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, said, “We’re studying what we call the ‘next generation’ of snakebite cures, and we hope it will be able to treat bites from any snake in Africa or India.”

【推荐3】In many countries, the novel coronavirus (新冠病毒) has changed the way people saying hello to each other. To help stop the spread of coronavirus, People give up their usual ways of greeting and invent safe ways. Let’s take a look!
No kissing, even if you are French
French people’s favorite way of saying hello is to touch cheeks (脸颊) and make a kissing sound. But when facing the virus, too many kisses are not good.
Now Frenchmen has got a suggestion: simply looking into a person’s eyes can be a greeting. It’s not so romantic. But it’s safe.
Grandma knows best
Italians are also romantic people. When they meet, they always hug or kiss each other. Recently, an Italian grandma made a video to help everyone fight the disease. According to her, if you want to say hello to others, do not hug or kiss. Instead, you can close one of your eyes and give them a wink (眨眼). Isn’t it cute?
Pat (拍打) on the back
It’s a very Australian thing to put your hand out to shake hands. But if you do this, the virus can jump from one person to another. Now Australians are told that a pat on the back would be better. But it also has some problems. For example, it’s a bit impolite if you do this to your teacher. What do you think?
Is the footshake the new handshake?
A video shows that an interesting way to say hello is now popular in Iran, an Asian country. In the video, three Iran men meet and tap (敲) their feet against each other. It looks like they are playing a fun game. If we cannot shake hands, why not try to “shake” feet?

【推荐1】I usually travel with my family every summer. Many people like to travel by plane. But I don’t, because the airport is usually far from the city. We have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off(起飞) and it is often late. People can’t open the window or choose(选择) what they want to eat. Planes are fast(快的), but it takes hours to get from the airport to the place you want to go after you arrive.
I like traveling by train. I think it’s safe(安全的) and comfortable. Railway stations are usually in cities. When I arrive late for a train, I can take another one. I can walk in the train and choose what I like to eat on the train. I can see many interesting things on the way, but it also takes a little more time and the train sometimes isn’t on time.
I also like traveling by car. I can drive and stop my car at any time I want to, and I don’t need to go to a train station or an airport (机场). I can take many things with me in a car, but sometimes there are too many cars on the road. But as the saying goes, “You can’t have everything in life.” What do you think of my ideas for travelling?

It’s long been a scientific dream: to give people a special vaccine(疫苗) before birth to prevent them from getting terrible illnesses. Gene editing(基因编辑) is one way in which we could do this. But this method has also created some discussion. In an online video posted on Nov. 26, 2019, He Jiankui, a researcher at the Southern University of Science and Technology, said that he had helped to make the world’s first genetically edited babies.
The babies are twin girls who were born in November. Their father had HIV. The twins’ genes were edited in order to prevent them from suffering from the HIV virus.
He said he chose to do this because HIV is widespread in China. “I feel such a strong duty not only to be the first to do this, but also to set an example,” he told AP.
But his actions caused many questions. Although gene editing may help to prevent disease, many people are wondering if it is safe and ethical to use it on humans.
Some believe that gene editing could be useful to HIV patients. HIV is “a large and growing public health problem”, according to Harvard Medical School genetic professor George Church. Using gene editing for HIV is “a good idea”, Church told AP.
However, others think that gene editing is still in its experimental periods and could result in terrible changes. “It could cause genetic problems later in life, including the development of cancer,” Julian Savulescu from the University of Oxford told BBC News.
Others fear that people might use gene editing technology to make “designer babies (定制宝宝)”. It would give parents the ability to choose everything from their baby’s eye color to their IQ.
“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades’ for their children, leading to even greater unfairness than we already live with,” Marcy Darnovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics told BBC News.
1. What do we know about He Jiankui?| A．He was the first person to edit genes. |
| B．He made the twins suffer from HIV when he edited their genes. |
| C．He made the world’s first genetically edited babies. |
| A．George Church. | B．Julian Savulescu. | C．Marcy Darnovsky. |

【推荐1】Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised £70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White’s second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out whether he has broken the record or not.
White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June, 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than 1,300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.
The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to get away with the little money he had. The worst thing that had happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometers he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and wants to write a book about his adventures.

【推荐3】Corryvale Farm is in the west of England. Stephen and Jenny Black keep cows and chickens and sell milk and eggs. But most of their money comes from Jenny’s sheep.
She has 50 sheep and each one has enough wool(羊毛) for six sweaters. Every six months, Stephen cuts this wool off the sheep, so they won’t get too warm. Five years ago, Jenny made some sweaters with the wool and tried to sell them at country markets(集市). But it was summer and it was very hot, so people didn’t want to buy sweaters.
