Nearly 7,000 medical workers in the team supporting Central China's Hubei province left the capital, Wuhan, the hardest-hit city in the novel coronavirus outbreak in China, and went back to their hometowns on Tuesday, March 31, marking the largest scale departure (离开) of medics (医学工作者)since the first group left on March 17. The Civil Aviation Administration of China has organized 51 planes to support the departure.

    More than 42,000 medics from other parts of the country have joined the battle with local medics to fight against COVID-19. The support teams came from 21 provinces, cities and autonomous regions(自治区) and some of them worked on several battlefields during the past months. The support team from the First Hospital of China Medical University in Shenyang, was among those in the group. Sixty members were in charge of treating COVID-19 patients in 100 beds in the Union Hospital and treated 174 patients who have been seriously ill since they arrived on Feb 10.

    Wang Zhenning, the leader of its support team, expressed his thanks to the Wuhan people who offered great help to them. "I am proud towitness and play a role in history. We've been here, seen it happen and become better. Wuhan is our second hometown. We will forever care about the city and the people fighting with us." he said.

    Wuhan city government showed great thanks to all medics in a letter, expressing their gratefulness of the medics' efforts to save lives in the battle. "Thanks to your arrival, Wuhan welcomes today's peace and stability. We will always remember your kindness!" the letter said. In it, the city government also invited the medics to visit Wuhan in the future for sightseeing. Local people volunteered to line up and see medics off as the medics left for home after finishing their mission(使命) in Wuhan. Wuhan traffic police led the way for medics to the airport.

The Letter That Changed a Life

A letter changed Levi Strauss's life. In 1849 gold was discovered in California. Thousands of people rushed to California in 1 of finding gold and becoming wealthy. The people hoping to find gold were foolish and greedy. One of those who headed for California was Levi Strauss. Strauss was different. Strauss was a clever, hard-working man. He was 2 a new start in life. Up to this time, Strauss had worked for his two brothers in New York City. The brothers sold clothes and blankets and other goods. Strauss planned to set up a 3 business to his brothers' in California.

Over the years, Strauss's business grew. In 1872 he got a letter from one of his customers, a tailor (裁缝) in Nevada. The tailor, Jacob Davis, had an idea for making better work pants. The pockets on work pants often tore. Jacob Davis 4 metal rivets (铆钉) to the pockets. Rivets are pieces of metal used to join things together. The rivets worked well, and the miners liked them. Davis didn't have enough money to get a patent for his invention. He also needed help making the pants. In his 5 Davis said that if they worked together, the two of them ‘‘could make a very large amount of money.''

Strauss could see that riveted work pants were a good idea. He agreed to help Davis. The two decided to make the pants. They decided to use denim cloth because it is a strong cloth that doesn't tear easily and is long lasting. 6 , the riveted denims were called ‘‘dungarees.'' Dungarees is a word from the Hindi language of India that means "rough cloth". Because they were tough and durable, dungarees were worn by thousands of farmers, miners, builders, and other workers. Later, dungarees came to be called "jeans". "Jeans" is a better name for the pants than "dungarees".

Nearly everybody enjoys chicken, and the most famous name in chicken is Kentucky Fried Chicken. Mr Sanders, the man who started this1 was not always very rich. At one time, he2 a small gas station next to a highway(公路). Many truck drivers3 there to get gas and take a rest. Mr Sanders realized they were often4 , so he began serving sandwiches and coffee.5 the sandwiches tasted good, and didn't6 too much money, more and more7 came to eat at his place.8 Mr Sanders began to serve fried chicken. People9 it very much, and his new business grew quickly. Not long after, however, another highway was open, and many drivers didn't go to Mr Sanders' restaurant. So he had to10 it. Then he traveled around the country trying to sell his idea of opening fried chicken restaurants. He finally made it. By 1967, there were almost 5000 Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants. And now, when you go to any place in the United States, you will see one. If you like chicken, I'm sure, you' ll enjoy eating Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Debbie and Simon looked up when an old lady got into their office. The lady looked at them quickly, and then walked over to Debbie. Debbie greeted(接待) her {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (礼貌地). 

Simon was very sad and took some papers over to the fax machine. Chris, one of the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(职员), was standing there. " What's up，Simon? You look 5{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（确切地）unhappy. " "Customers in all parts of the world always like Debbie better than me. Ⅰ{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (很少)have them. I can't understand it. "

"I can. Whether or not you can do this well depends on the way you communicate. Communicating is not just about speaking. Body language is important, too. "

"Body language?"

"I mean your gestures(姿势)and the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (表情)on your face. Your look communicates things as well as your words. " The way you look at people doesn't give them a good impression (印象), Simon. You often rest your head on your hand. You look shy and you aren't {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (积极的). But look at Debbie. She holds her head up. She always smiles and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(招待)them with warmth and kindness. That's why people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (欣赏) her and go to her for help, and not you. "After that, Simon tried to smile at people. This seemed to work. Minutes later, a beautiful girl with a nice  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(帽子)got into the office. She looked at Debbie and then Simon. Without thinking twice, she went to Sim on and gave him a big smile. A few moments later, she left, still smiling. 

Chris came over at once and said, " Well done, Simon. I'm so {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (骄傲的)of you. You've already made a good impression on her. "

"That was my sister, " said Simon. " She came to remind me that tomorrow is her birthday. "
