    The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) was opened on Oct 24, 2018, which is a huge sea crossing bridge, connecting the Hong Kong SAR, Zhuhai City and the Macao SAR.

    As the world's longest sea-based project, the 55-kilormstre bridge is the result of six years of research and another nine years of building Builders had to make artificial islands in the Pear River Delta to hold up the bridge. There is also a 6.7-kiloametre underwater tunnel in the middle of the bridge. This is to allow ships to sail through the Delta. It has been named as one of the "seven wonders of the modern world "by The Guardian.

    "It is designed with a service life of 120 years. It can stand against a strong wind equal to a maximum Beaufort scale 16," Zhu Yougling, a project manager, told The Guardian. "It can also survive a magnitude-8 earthquake." Meanwhile, the Y-shaped bridge could reduce travel time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai and Macao from more than three hours to about 45 minutes." The bridge will not only be a transport connection. It will be a social, economic, cultural, and tourism connection among the three areas. "Yu Lie, director of the HZMB Authority, said.

    The bridge is open to tourists to drive across it. Most visitors can take a shuttle bus to make the journey with 300 yuan for a single trip. However, local car owners can not cross the bridge unless they have a special permit

    There was a gentle old man who lived with a servant in a small house. One evening, he was sitting by the fire. Suddenly there was a loud knock at the door .A man with long hair and dirty clothes appeared. The man was in his forties and very strong. He carried a beg and a walking stick

    Both seasonal flu, a disease like a very bad cold, and much larger pandemics, like the one caused by H7N9（禽流感） in 2013, are the result of a race between the flu virus  and the immune system which can protect people from illness. Here's how it works.

    Viruses, which cause pandemics, have two important proteins "haemagglutinin(H) and neuraminidase(N).H helps the virus go into a cell .N helps new virus break out of that cell .They are parts of a virus that may be known and dealt with by the immune system

    A flu virus attacks a host cell in order to reproduce itself. But the virus created out of it is quite different now. The virus's genetic material is copied with low fidelity. That difference produces virus which immune system does not always know and deal with immediately. Each year's seasonal virus is therefore a little bit different, and thus requires an updated vaccine to prevent people from getting that disease.

    Pandemics viruses have bigger changes in this process .Many hosts' defences are unprepared for such big changes, which happen three or four times a century .The 1918 pandemics was caused by viruses carrying H1 and N1.Anotber two pandemics in 1957 and 1968 were caused by viruses carrying H2and H3 together with N2.They are numbered by scientists. Much of this change goes on outside humans. A flu is usually from sick binds. Sometimes a bird-flu appears with materiel that enable it to spread among people .The H7N9 is recently worrying scientists in the health center.

    The flu virus sometimes jumps directly from a bird(often a chicken) to a person, but more usually passes through a pig The cells in bird and human are built differently, It means us that the virus needs different sets of material to attack them .Pig cells have features of both so that it can act as a platform in which the virus can fit from one to the other .Even after it has made humans ill, a virus cannot go ca to cause a pandemic unless it also gets the ability to pus easily between people, Luckily, this is something H7N9 has yet to do.
