Animals

   Corona viruses are common in animals. Sometimes, animals get infected (感染的) with these viruses which may then spread to human beings. To protect yourself, you should not visit live animal markets or have direct contact with wild animals. Stay away from raw meat, animal organs and other undercooked animal products.

   When an infectious pet was found in Hong Kong, some may wonder if one can get virus from their pets. Until today, there is no evidence that a dog, cat or any pet can transmit (传播) COVID-19. Please do not kill or give up pets!

Touching surface with virus

   Studies suggest that COVID-19 virus may stay on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. However, the number may change under different conditions such as type of surface, temperature or the environment.

   If you think a surface may be infected, clean it with ethyl alcohol (酒精). After touching it, clean your hands with alcohol or wash them with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, or nose.

Package(包裹)

   Before delivering to your home, a package has been moved, travelled, and exposed to different conditions and temperature. Therefore, the possibility of being infectious because of your package from COVID-19-reported areas is rather low. There is no need to send your package back.

Smoking

   An article posted on Wechat recently says that cigarette can protect smokers from COVID-19 and thus make cigarettes sell very well. It is an online rumor (谣言)! As has been known, smoking harms people's health. It weakens the immune system and worsens diabetes and blood pressure. No smoking is still a must!

Transportation

   According to Feng Luzhao, an expert from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the major routes of transmission are still through respiratory droplets and direct contact. In order to protect yourself in underground station, wearing a mask and keeping your hands clean are good ways. People are also encouraged to use a personal transportation card or pay for the ticket via an app. After taking public transportation, washing hands is necessary.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。

Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space?To travel in space,we first have to work out where our food will come from. 

Today's space travellers don't go to the Moon or Mars. They go to the International Space Station (ISS). There,the spacemen live for weeks to months. 

If you visited the ISS years ago,nearly every kind of food you ate would have come from the Earth. 

In 2014,scientists sent the ISS a space garden with some vegetable seeds(种子). With water and some light, the vegetables in the gardern grew. Those were the first foods being grown on the Iss. But the spacemen couldn't eat them and had to send them back to the Earth. The next year,after scientists made sure they were safe,the spacemen grew a second crop. This time the vegetables were ready for the spacemen to eat. 

Gardening is different in space than it is on Earth. Without gravity,plants don't know which way is up. But they learn how to grow. They send their leaves in the direction of light and their roots into the soil. 

The spacemen also have grown vegetables as well as flowers. That's important to know a plant can flower in space,because flowering is part of how some plants make fruit. 

While the space garden is small for now,hopefully it could one day help provide people with food on long﹣time space trips.

Having a tea party is a kind of custom of drinking. It is a fun way to celebrate a special thing or offer time for friends to have a talk. The ideas you need to prepare a beautiful tea party are all right here. Read the ideas and use the ones that work for you.

It is important to make the tea party invitation. You should make a plan about who you'll invite to your party first. You should make the invitation card special, such as making it in the shape of a teacup or writing the lovely words on the card. Be sure to give the start time, end time, date and address (地址) of the tea party.

Make your home into a fun place. Cover the table with the prettiest clothes. Put cups and flowers in the middle.

Sometimes it's common to have some games or events at the party such as playing musical chairs, dancing to the music, making some art works and so on. It will be something special that helps them remember and share their events with others.

The drinks are the main role at your party. Lemonade, punch (混合饮料) or tea drinks are always top of the list. Well, don't forget to add some delicious cakes, sandwiches and fruit.

Everyone loves party gifts. Give them to your guests and say thank you for coming. It's always much nicer if you see them off your house after party.

①Have you ever wondered why we can't control those sudden "achoo" moments? 

Welcome to the unusual world of sneezes (打喷嚏). Here is some interesting knowledge about it. 

②First, it all starts with a tickle (痒). Whether it's dust, pepper, or a sudden ray of sunshine, as long as your body thinks it might be something harmful, your brain gets a warning that it's time to sneeze. It's like the first sound in a sneezing concert. What's more, a sneeze is like a small pop. It can travel up to 100 miles per hour (160 km per hour)! Imagine your sneeze going past at the speed of a racing car. It's your nose's way of saying, ""

③After a sneeze, we often say "bless you". It's believed to stop you from evil spirits who're trying to get into your body during a sneeze. So, every "bless you" is like a mini exorcism (驱邪) for your nose. Also, one sneeze can start a chain reaction. Sneezes are a bit like a kind of disease which can spread from one to another. For example, once one person starts, it's hard for others not to join in. It's the social side of sneezing!

④Finally, did you know that some people close their eyes without thinking anything when they sneeze? It's like a built-n part of your body, and scientists aren't sure why it happens. 

⑤All in all, after knowing the unusual world of sneezes, we should let it be. The next time you feel a tickle in your nose and the feeling to sneeze, just accept it. It's not just a sneeze. Instead, it's an unusual, uncontrollable performance brought to you by the one and only, your fantastic nose!
