The battle against the COVID-19 is on. It’s not just a battle for doctors, but also for each of us.     1    , according to the Handbook of COVID-19 Prevention and Treatment.

Wear medical masks

Don’t go to crowded places. If you have to, remember to mask up. Medical surgical masks and N95 masks are helpful in stopping the virus, according to the Center for Disease Control. But not everyone has to wear N95 masks. A medial surgical mask is enough for daily protection or visiting general open areas. But remember to change them every four hours if you keep wearing them.     2     especially those who are coughing or sneezing.

Wash hands properly

Remember to wash your hands before eating, after going to the bathroom, coming home.     3     Your hands might have touched things that could be polluted by the virus. Washing your hands can stop the virus from getting from your hands to the rest of your body. When you wash your hands, use running water and soap, and wash for no less than 15 seconds.

    4    

Do it three times a day for 15 minutes to half an hour each time. You can only get infected if the virus builds up in large amounts. Proper ventilation can stop the virus from building up.

Keep healthy habits

Keep eating a healthy diet, exercising and getting enough sleep.     5    

A．Open windows to let fresh air in

B．And stay at least one meter away from other people,

C．Don’t touch your eyes, nose or mouth before washing your hands.

D．This can improve your immune system.

E．Here are some of the things we can do.

A desert(沙漠) is a difficult place for animals to live, and some have unusual ways of making a living. The Texas lizard has a strange way to keep itself safe. When a predator(掠食动物) gets too close, blood goes out from the lizard’s eyes. Then it breathes in much air to make its body look bigger. Another interesting desert animal is the javelina. To make a predator afraid and run away, the javelina bravely faces the animal. It makes a big noise with its teeth. It raises the hard hairs on its back to make itself look bigger. The javelina also gives off a strong smell as a warning when it is afraid. This smell is so strong that javelinas are also called “smelly pigs”. Javelinas keep safe by staying close to their family, so there’s a good chance they can make a predator change its mind!

You might think a rain forest would be easier to live in than a desert. After all, there's plenty of food and water in a rain forest. But that also means a lot of animals live there. Being able to climb trees is a useful skill in the rain forest. It allows an animal to keep away from predators. The sloth spends most of its life in the treetops. Its strong, curved claws(爪子) help it climb and hang upside down from branches. The sloth also moves very slowly. It does this so it’s not noticed. The aye-aye lives only in the rain forest of Madagascar, near Africa. The aye-aye is a night animal. This helps it to stay safe from daytime predators. However, the number of the aye-aye keeps going down and they may die out. People have hunted it because they think it brings bad luck. Also, much of the rain forest in Madagascar has been cut down, which has destroyed the aye-aye’s home. Today there are laws(法律) to keep people from killing it.

A．What the animals in the desert look like.

B．How the animals in the rain forest find their food.

C．How the animals in the desert and in the rain forest stay safe.

D．What animals are in danger of losing their living environment.

2. How does a lizard protect itself when a predator gets too close?

A．It climbs trees.	B．It makes a big noise.
C．It gives off a strong smell.	D．Blood goes out from its eyes.

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A．The aye-aye is a welcome animal in Africa.

B．There is no food, no water and no danger in the desert.

C．The lizard and the javelina can make their bodies look bigger to keep safe.

D．It is really dangerous for the sloth to live in the forest no matter where it is.
