The vaccines China is now using are called “inactivated vaccines”(灭活疫苗). There are no living viruses in these vaccines. They cannot cause the disease, but can show your body what the virus looks like and make you immune(免疫)to it. Studies show that China’s vaccines are 79.34 percent effective. If 79 percent of the whole population becomes immune, the possibility of COVID-19 spreading will be very low.
The vaccine is given by injection(注射). It’s advised to get two doses(剂量). You should wait about two weeks after the first dose to get the second one. The vaccines have been tested among three different age groups: 3 to 17, 18 to 59, and 60 and above. The 18-to-59 age group has the most data—the vaccines have been proven to be safe to this group. Experts suggest people from the age of 18 get vaccinated. But people who have serious diseases such as cancer(癌症)or diabetes(糖尿病), or people who are allergic(过敏的)to any of the vaccine’s ingredients, should not get it. People who want to get the vaccine should not get any other vaccines during the same period. It takes a few weeks for the body to build immunity after vaccination. There’s also a small chance that your body won’t build immunity. So before the population becomes immune to the virus, it’s highly encouraged to keep wearing masks and washing your hands after getting vaccinated.

Now and then we all get ill. Then we usually go to see a doctor. Doctors know a lot about what makes us ill. They may give us something to take. The medicine often makes us well again. But sometimes the doctor’s medicine doesn’t work. A sick person does not get well. The pain will not go away. This happened to one man. He was in hospital, but he was not getting well. Then he found a new “doctor” inside himself. This new “doctor” was his own sense of humor (幽默感). He saw funny films. He read funny books. And something wonderful happened. Laughing took away his pain. Then he was able to sleep and rest. His own happy feeling helped him to feel well again. He said laughing was his best “medicine”. His doctor thought so, too.
Another man was also ill, and he had a terrible pain in his back. The doctors could not stop it from hurting. So the man began to “Picture” his pain. In his head he “drew” a picture of a dog. He imagined it as a real dog. And he made friends with the dog. And his pain went away!
These stories may surprise you. But more and more people are getting well in this way. So visit the “doctor” inside your own head and you can stay happy and well.

【推荐2】You may sometimes notice athletes with purple circles on their skin from cupping. Or maybe you know someone who swears (极其信赖) acupuncture for their back pain. More and more people use practices from traditional Chinese medicine like these not only to fight disease, but also to prevent it.
TCM is short for traditional Chinese medicine. It is an ancient system of health and wellness. It’s been used in China for thousands of years. Western medicine focuses mainly on treating disease. But TCM looks at your entire well-being.
Western medicine tends to view the body a lot like a car. It has different systems that need the right inputs and outputs. It’s very specific (具体的) and logical.
TCM is based on balance, harmony (和谐) and energy. There are two central ideas behind TCM. One is qi, the other is yin and yang. Qi is also called life energy or vital energy. The belief is that it runs throughout your body. It’s always on the move and continually changes. TCM treatments often focus on ways to promote and maintain the flow of qi.
Yin and Yang are opposites that describe the qualities of qi. The belief is that everything in life has a little bit of its opposite, too, and balance is the key. For example, a drug from your doctor might cure disease. But it’s dangerous if you take too much of it.
According to TCM, these ideas play out in our bodies. When you balance the yin and yang of qi, you feel healthy and well. If they’re in disorder, you feel sick. TCM aims to create harmony and a healthy flow of qi.
Experts believe it’s safe, if you go to someone who knows what they’re doing. This is especially true of acupuncture, tai chi, and cupping. With a little background on how it’s used, I believe you can make wiser choices to improve your health.

【推荐1】Is it difficult for you to remember things? I’d like to tell you some ways to help improve your memory, so you shouldn’t feel upset.
My first advice is that if you want to remember something well, you have to review it regularly (有规律地).You might review the material two ways after you learn it, then a week later, then two weeks later, and then a month later. After a month you will find that you can easily remember the material.
(3)My second advice is to use a colored pen to highlight (标注) the important parts on your book. This will help you in two ways. First, it will help you pay attention to the most important parts when you learn the language. It is always easier to remember only the key points. Second, this will make reviewing easier. When you open your book, the colored parts will show you the most important things quickly. In this way, you don’t have to review all the material again.
Another piece of advice is to use the proper time well. First, review all this information in your mind right before you go to sleep. Your brain is working while you are sleeping. If you think about the information before you go to sleep, you might be able to remember it better. (4)Another good time for memorizing information is in the morning, because you have just rested and your brain is clear. So you might also try to review the important information in the morning.

【推荐1】Have you been vaccinated(接种疫苗)? This has been a common question in China since the country began to carry out mass(大规模的) COVID-19(新冠肺炎) vaccinations in December 2020.
According to China Daily, China plans to vaccinate 40 percent of its population by June. At the same time, China has provided other countries in need with vaccines(疫苗). The country is exporting(出口) COVID-19 vaccines to 27 countries and offering free vaccines to 53 countries. “China plays an important role in the production and distribution(分配) of COVID-19 vaccines” said Rasmus Bech Hansen, head of British research company Airfinity.
However, global(全球的) vaccination is highly unbalanced, Zhang Wenhong, a doctor at the Huashan Hospital of Fudan University, said on March 1. Full vaccine coverage(全体免疫覆盖率) can be achieved only in the United States, Europe and a few other countries, such as China and Russia.
In reaching wide vaccine coverage, small developing nations could fall a year behind larger developing nations and developed countries. This is because wealthier nations have reserved(预 留) so many Western vaccines for their own citizens, The Washington Post reported.
For those countries that have not yet got a vaccine, only China may solve the problem, AP reported. China is one of the few nations that can produce a large number of vaccines.
“We must make sure that no country in need of the vaccines is left behind and no people waiting for vaccines are forgotten. Nothing is more valuable than human lives.” Foreign Minister(外交部长) Wang Yi said.
根据上面短文内容,回答下列问题(每小题答案不超过6个单词)。

2. How many countries is China offering free vaccines to?

After the first injection, you have to wait for about three weeks to get the second one. And after the second injection, you have to wait for about 6 months to get the third one.
Is the vaccine bad for human bodies?
Some people are afraid that the vaccines are dangerous and may make them sick. In fact, the vaccines have been tested for a long time. They won’t cause any disease . Instead, they can protect our bodies from being hurt.
Who is suitable?
Medical researchers have shown that Chinese vaccines are suitable for most people. And people aged 18 to 59 would be the first ones to get injection. Our government expects people over 60 who are in good health to get injected as well. You’d better ask doctors for advice at first.
Should we still wear a face mask?

What had he been busy with during those 22 days?
The story started on the eve of the Chinese New Year. Wang was going to sleep. At 10 p.m., he saw an online post from a nurse at Jinyintan Hospital. Many COVID-19(新型冠状病毒肺炎) patients had been admitted(办理入院手续) into this hospital. The nurse had worked for a few days without stopping. She wanted to go home and have a rest, but she couldn’t. No taxi driver wanted to drive to the hospital. And because of traffic control, no bus or subway services were available.
After a moment’s hesitation (犹豫), Wang decided to take on his duty. He bought himself some masks(口罩), got into his own car and then drove straight to the hospital. The nurse seemed surprised. She got into Wang’s car and burst into tears.
That day, Wang drove 30 doctors and nurses home. He didn’t stop there. Wang set up a team of volunteers. They helped nurses and doctors to go to work, return home and order food.
