2 . “The first shipment of masks and coronavirus test kits (试剂盒) to the US is taking off from Shanghai. All the best to our friends in America.” Jack Ma said on his first tweet (message of twitter).
Chinese billionaire Jack Ma, the co-founder of the online retail giant Alibaba, said he is donating 500,000 testing kits and 1 million masks to the United States to fight the spread of coronavirus. The China-made protective gear and test kits took off from Shanghai's airport in a chartered cargo plane Monday morning, and will be handed over to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) when they arrive.
Up to now, the tweet has received more than 470,000 likes. Meanwhile, the American netizens also actively gave their replies in the comment area. “I feel like we are now a third world country but your kindness is appreciated. Gratitude!” a netizen said.
The Jack Ma Foundation and Alibaba Foundation have donated much-needed materials to regions suffering in the epidemic over the past few weeks, including Japan, South Korea, Italy, Egypt, Iran and Spain, according to a tweet from the Jack Ma Foundation on Friday.
Ma said the outbreak presents “a huge challenge to all humankind in a globalized world,” and that he has drawn from his own country’s experience that quick and accurate testing as well as protective equipment for medical personnel are most effective in preventing the spread of the virus.
The past two months shows us that if we take it very seriously and are proactive, we are more than capable of containing the virus.
Now it is as if we were all living in the same forest on fire. As members of the global community, it would be irresponsible of us to sit on the fence, panic, ignore facts or fail to act. We need to take action now!

5 . According to The Straits Times, many wild animals have recently skipped onto empty streets in many cities.
In Spain, a wild boar climbed down the hills and wandered around Barcelona. Sika deer nosed their way around the deserted metro stations of Nara in Japan. A stag ran in the capital of the northern state of Uttarakhand in India.
“It is certainly great news for species,” Marcelo Giagnoni, the head of Chile’s agricultural and livestock service, told AFP. “This is the habitat they once had and that we’ve taken away from them.”
Hundreds of years ago, people lived in harmony with wildlife. They shared natural resources from sunlight to water and from forests to land. But as human beings evolved and formed their own civilizations, they jostled with animals for more space and resources. Gradually, human beings came to lose connection with nature. More skyscrapers have been built to meet the needs of the flock of people in the cities, which drove away many wild animals from their habitats.
However, the recent lockdown of cities during the pandemic gives a chance of “freeing a space for other animals” and reflecting on our relationship with nature, according to AFP. Stuck indoors, with their worlds reduced to a few square meters, urban people have suddenly become enthusiastic birdwatchers. British ornithologist（鸟类学者）David Lindo, who is known as the “urban birder”, has been posting and livestreaming birds he spots from the roof of the building in Spain where he has been quarantined（隔离）. “The sky is a great arena, anything can fly past and, at the very least, it will give you peace. My message is simple: keep looking up,” he told CTV News.
Just as AFP noted, right now “the most important phenomenon perhaps is our relationship with nature is changing — with people locked up in their homes realizing how much they miss nature”.
Though the lockdown may be temporary, it’s time for us to reflect upon our relationship with the environment. As AFP put it, “people should always have a need of nature”. By missing nature, humans may come to respect — and live in harmony with — nature once again.

6 . American President Trump revealed early Friday morning that he and the first lady, Melania Trump, had tested positive for the coronavirus, throwing the nation’s leadership into uncertainty and worsening the crisis caused by a pandemic that has already killed more than 207,000 Americans and harmed the economy.
Mr. Trump, who for months has played down the seriousness of the virus and hours earlier on Thursday night told an audience that “the end of the pandemic is in sight,” will quarantine（隔离） in the White House for an unspecified period of time.
For months, Mr. Trump has refused to wear a mask in public on all but a few occasions and has repeatedly questioned their effectiveness. And as recently as Tuesday, at their opening debate, he laughed at Mr. Biden for wearing one. It was not immediately clear whether Mr. Trump had already been infected by the virus at the time of the debate with Mr. Biden, 77, although the two stood far across stage and never got within six feet of each other.
The symbolism of an infected American president could frighten governors, as well as business owners trying to assess when and how to reopen or keep open shops, schools, parks, beaches, restaurants, factories and other workplaces. Eager to restore social order before the election, Mr. Trump has dismissed health concerns to demand that schools reopen, college football resume play and businesses return to full operation.
Under the 25th Amendmen（t 宪法修正案）, a medically incapable president has the option of temporarily transferring power to the vice president and can regain his authority whenever he considers himself fit for duty.
In American history, since the amendment was passed in 1967, presidents have done so only three times. In 1985, President Ronald Reagan had a surgery and briefly turned over power to Vice President George Bush. President George W. Bush did invoke（援引）the amendment twice in temporarily turning over power to Vice President Dick Cheney during medical checks in 2002 and 2007.
1. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs?| A．The Trumps feel positive about the coronavirus. |
| B．The end of the pandemic is in sight in America. |
| C．Mr. Trump will continue to perform his duty. |
| D．The pandemic is a blow to America. |
| A．He has never worn a mask in public. |
| B．He repeated the effectiveness of questions. |
| C．He took part in a debate recently. |
| D．He spread the virus to Mr. Biden. |
| A．Business owners are cautious about reopening their business. |
| B．To restore order, Mr. Trump has considered health concerns as unimportant. |
| C．Mr. Trump is the third president to turn his power to the vice president. |
| D．Both President Reagan and President George W. Bush invoked the 25th Amendment. |
| A．In a history textbook. |
| B．In a newspaper. |
| C．In a medical science journal. |

9 . To help contain COVID-19, one of the most important things you can do is wear a mask in public.
Glasses Getting Fogged Up
Why it happens:
How to fix it: Look for a mask with a metal wire in that goes over the bridge of your nose, and pinch it until it fits your nose shape. Another trick: Clean glasses with soap and water to help prevent fogging.
Mask Slipping Down
Why it happens: Faces come in all shapes and sizes.
How to fix it: To make sure a mask fits you correctly, put it on and cup your (washed) hands around the edges. Pull the mask up towards your cheeks, then down towards your chin. Adjust the ear loops.
Difficulty Communicating
Why it happens: Even people with perfect hearing can struggle to understand others who are wearing a mask. It's a physical barrier that blocks sound and can cause speech to be unclear.
How to fix it: People assume that they just need to speak louder, but that's not it—slow down and speak as deliberately as possible. You can buy masks with a clear window to allow for lip-reading as well.
| A．You feel comfortable wearing the mask |
| B．So the mask does not gap at the sides or top |
| C．But small annoyances can discourage mask use |
| D．And some men's facial hair makes getting a good fit difficult |
| E．The hot air from your breath escapes from the top of your mask |
| F．It also blocks visual signals, like whether a person is smiling or not |
| G．However, wearing a mask when you are out and about is essential for your safety |
