Dear Tom,
How have you recently been? It is so considerate for you to receive your letter inquired about novel coronavirus in Wuhan. I am writing to tell you about this.
Since the outbreak of a infectious disease in Wuhan in December 2019,the Chinese government had decisively closed down the city to prevent the spread of the disease. At the same time, although cases have found throughout the country, but the Chinese people actively face it, together with Wuhan to fight the epidemic.
At this particular time, we should go out so little as possible. If we go out, we must wear masks to prevent us from getting infected. In addition, we should keep good healthy habits and keep our body cleanly.
As we all know, the Chinese nation has experienced lots of difficulties but it has never been defeated.
Yours,
Li Hua
My father and I haven’t met for more than two months. It is due to the horrible novel coronavirus epidemic (传染病)
3 . Every Monday morning, 73-year-old Li Lanjuan sits in her office, receiving patients. Despite being leading figure in epidemiology（流行病学）in China, Li regards herself as an ordinary medical worker. So when the novel coronavirus（新冠肺炎）broke out in late December, Li, without any hesitation, joined the epidemic expert group on Jan 18 and headed for Wuhan to fight against the disease.
As soon as the team found that the new virus can be passed from person to person, Li bravely proposed（提议）that Wuhan should be immediately locked down. At that time, experts still knew little about the novel coronavirus’ spread; Li’s proposal indicated that a city with over 11 million population would be in a dangerous status. If her judgment was incorrect, both the city and Li’s reputation would suffer greatly.
But Li cared about nothing more than millions of people in the city and the whole nation. She handed her proposal to the government again. It was adopted the next day and proven to be effective later. Yet it was only the beginning of the battle. Since she arrived in Wuhan, Li has been working nonstop.
“We can bring our experience to Wuhan and we hope that seriously ill patients can be treated in a timely manner,” she said. But constant work has done great harm to Li, giving her very little time to sleep. When a picture of her exhausted face was posted on the Internet, many Internet users shed tears, expressing concerns about her health. One wrote, “Li is a real herd who has devoted herself to public health.”
But Li smiled and said, “I’m in good health”, and continued to “race against time”. Any job well done must have been carried out by a person who is filly devoted. Li has been fully committed to her job. No wonder many call her “a female fighter on the frontline”.

4 . A few days after losing his job in March, Paul Gentile was throwing away rubbish outside his Brooklyn apartment building when he noticed a new sign hanging near the front door. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, which has brought life to a near standstill in New York City and caused a number of people to lose their jobs, renters in the building did not need to pay April rent, it read. "STAY SAFE, HELP YOUR NEIGHBOIRS & WASH YOUR HANDS!!!" the landlord, Mario Salerno, wrote on the sign.
New York is made up of millions of renters, many of whom pay most of their monthly income for a place to live. The sudden collapse of the economy has left many New Yorkers stressing about how they can pay their bills, especially rent.
But Mr. Salerno did not care about losing his rental income in April, nor did he care to calculate the amount that he would not be collecting from his 80 apartments. He is likely losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in income by canceling April rent. His only interest, he said, was in alleviating stress for his renters, even those who were still employed and now working from home. "My concern is everyone's health." said Mr. Salerno. "I told them just to look out for your neighbors and make sure that everyone has food on their table."
For the nearly four years. Mr. Gentile has lived in the apartment and Mr. Salerno has been a model landlord. Emergencies are fixed almost immediately, such as a water leak in Mr. Gentile's ceiling that was fixed and painted within several hours. "You don't see that, especially in a landlord-renter relationship in New York City," Mr. Gentile said. "He's amazing."

5 . When Central Bucks South became one of the first Philadelphia-area high schools to close due to fear of novel coronavirus exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.
But still, the change from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring. "I only have three years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted," Chen said.
The coronavirus has upended everyone's lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly acute. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships (实习)，are up in the air.
But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, struggling with misinformation, and figuring out the best ways they can help through online method.
For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Ship-ley School in Philadelphia, the best way to contribute was to create a "social distancing pledge (承诺)" for young people.
"I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention," he said. "They were still going out, hanging out with people. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks, who were probably not watching the news."
Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people who'd signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate sources of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Harycki knows that his peers are worried they can't connect with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing pledge to stress that while everyone might be physically distant, they're still connected.
"Part of what we're highlighting is that you might feel like you're the only one taking this
seriously, but our map shows that you're not alone," he said.

8 . The CoVID-19 and flu are both respiratory infectious diseases，with similar symptoms including fever and cough，but they aren't the same.
Both the CoVID-19 and flu are diseases caused by a virus. In the case of flu the pathogens（病原体）are flu viruses，and for COVID-19，it is a novel coronavirus（新型冠状病毒）.
Common symptoms for flu and novel coronavirus are nearly identical-fever，cough and tiredness sometimes sore throat and diarrhea. In several cases they result in pneumonia（肺炎）and even death in the worst cases. Flu has seasonal ups and downs. Although it can exist all year round，the virus infects more people in winter and spring. As for the novel coronavirus，the median age for the infected is 51.But the novel coronavirus is a brand new virus no one has total immunity no matter their age.
Both the flu and the novel coronavirus are transmitted in the similar ways，by direct contact with infected patients or small droplets from the nose or mouth when a person with virus coughs or breathes.
FIu can be spread by an infected person for several days before their symptoms appear. As for the novel coronavirus，spread might be possible before people show symptoms，but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
For the novel coronavirus，there is also a risk for aerosol transmission（气溶胶传播）In health facilities，people may catch the virus if they breathed in aerosol, the suspension of find solid or liquid particles in the air, which have been contaminated by the virus. The novel coronavirus has also been found in patients’ fecal (排泄物) samples, but fecal-oral transmission does not appear to be a major transmission route.

9 . Even in the best and most loving of times, families can feel impossibly confined (受限制的). Teens are irritable and furious. Parents are annoying and embarrassing. For Esther and her daughter Chaya, the tiny new coronavirus changed all that.
Esther was born in Wuhan-a dynamic and culturally rich place that she deeply loves but moved to the U.S. During the winter holiday, they went to Wuhan to visit Esther’s parents. Gradually at first, then more frequently, they noticed face masks on city streets. To be safe, they wore their own masks and stopped going to public gatherings. Then, suddenly the city was on lockdown. No one could leave. Their reservations home on a China Southern airlines flight were worthless. “I feared for my daughter’s life,” said Esther, “If it got worse, there could be chaos. She doesn’t speak much Chinese.”
For days, Esther repeatedly called and emailed for help. It was nonstop. She stayed online, checking all the time. Chaya felt distressed and helpless. It's awful seeing her mother go through that-without having anything she could do to help in the hotel.
Their luck changed with one email. For the 1,000 Americans stuck in Wuhan, there were 230 available seats on one outbound flight, it said. Esther bought two $1,100 seats. After a 12-hour wait at the airport, they got clearance to leave, and arrived at March Air Force Base, where they were isolated in two small connected rooms with a shared bath for two weeks. There were daily medical checkups, twice daily temperature checks and a 10 a m. briefing (简报). But there was no WiFi, TV or friends. For emotional support, Esther phoned her husband Haim, an engineering manager for Uber, and their two other children, ages 13 and 11.
Now home, they are basking in (沉浸于) the thrill of phone calls, TV interviews and a caring community. They’ve gotten little sleep. Suitcases remain unpacked. But anyhow, they have survived not just the outbreak of a virus but the unforgettable experience of mother-daughter togetherness.

10 . Panic Buying
Shoppers around the world are crazy buying because of fears over the coronavirus(新型冠状病毒), which caused a critical plague in China and even other countries at the beginning of 2020. People in countries such as England, Japan, Singapore and Australia have been emptying supermarket shelves of toilet paper, face masks, hand wash products and dried and canned food. Photos and videos of shoppers in Australia quarreling over the last pack of toilet roll in a supermarket have spread across social media swiftly.
However, governments have advised their citizens that there is no need to “panic buy”. They added that panic buying would only reduce the supply of products needed by patients and medical staff, which could exacerbate the problems the COVID-19 virus is causing. Singapore's prime minister comforted Singaporeans that: “We have enough supplies. There's no need to stock up.” A week after the panic buying fever, things have calmed down and shoppers have gone back to purchasing items in normal quantities.
Psychologists say panic buying is an “unwise” behaviour that is part of a condition called FOMO - the fear of missing out. Dr. Katharina Wittgens said a herd mentality(从众心理) sets in during disasters that causes people to copy the actions of others. People watch the news of items being bought in quantity and immediately rush out to the stores to do the same. She said people were taking on too much the risks of dying from the coronavirus. She said: “Far more people die in car accidents or household accidents per year but we don't panic about these things in the morning before we go to work.”

| B．The shortage of resources and supplies in their nations. |
| C．Their concern about the virus. |
| D．The discount from supermarkets. |

| A．People tend to follow others’ actions in the period of disaster. |
| B．People are wiser in making decisions. |
