1． China is now fighting a war of a different kind. It's (1)        an unseen enemy, which has been named COVID-19 by the WHO, Since its appearance at the end of December in Wuhan, the virus (病毒) (2)       this disease has spread to other cities, infecting (感染) hundreds of thousands of people and (3)        over one thousand deaths. The most effective way to fight against it is to try to contain (遏制) it.
The Chinese people should be praised because they refused to panic (恐慌). They've stayed home as (4)      as possible, worn protective masks and washed their hands frequently (频繁地) and thoroughly (彻底地), The government's response (反应) has also been (5)       . They've made (6)       known about what has been happening and they've (7)        thousands of doctors and nurses to Hubei to treat those who have been infected.
This terrible virus hasn't been defeated (击败) and the fight against it may (8)       for several more months. However, it will eventually (9)      . It's hoped that (10)      the crisis (危机) fades (消除), China and the world will learn that cooperation (合作) and hope, not panic or criticism (批评), is the best way to face a common threat (威胁).

2． Last year, I went to a summer camp in the United States with my classmates. It was my first time going abroad.
I lived with a host family in Los Angeles for five days. My host family was friendly and gave me lots of advice. For example, they said I should say "excuse me "if I have to interrupt (打断) someone or ask for directions.
I also took some classes. They were different from the classes I've had back home. In the US, each class is like a seminar. Students join in groups, speaking freely and creating a cheerful atmosphere (氛围) had to work hard to learn more vocabularies, so I could better communicate with my international classmates. I used to pay little attention to my word usage (使用), but now I pay more attention.
During my visit, I also went to some famous universities in Boston, New York and Washington. We learned about the history behind the universities. At MIT (麻省理工学院), we saw lots of names on a wall in the hall. The tour guide told us they were the names of students who had lost their lives during wars. I was inspired (鼓舞) by the fact that they fought for their country.

3． Can you imagine astronauts everyday life in space? They also need to eat sleep, exercise and relax. They do the same things as us, but they do them differently.
On Earth, we put food on a plate. Gravity holds the food down and keeps it on a place. But there is a almost no gravity in space, so food can float (漂浮) away, and astronauts must eat carefully.
Sleeping is very different in space. Some astronauts like to float in the air but most like to be in a sleeping bag they tie the bag to a wall so that they won't float away at night.
Exercise is very important in space. On Earth. your legs carry your body, but In space, astronauts float, so they do not use their legs often. This is very bad for their legs, so they must exercise for thirty minutes every day.
After a day's work; astronauts relax. They may listen to music, read, watch films, play games, or talk to their friends and families on the radio. Sometimes they just enjoy floating in the air.

4． Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.
Is it possible to be born, shy? Many scientists say yes. They: say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.
Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. The scientists said that these children were often. bullied (欺负) by their older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy at the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.
You may also be shy because of where you were born. When: scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame (责备) themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on 'outside reasons, such as family, teachers
friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don't forget — if you are shy, you are not the only one.

5． Scientists in Britain and the United States have made a new kind of enzyme (酵素) that eats plastics (塑料). With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. Scientists believe that, in the future, it could solve the problem of plastic pollution.
The enzyme is able to break down PET, a form of plastic. PET was first made in the 1940s and is now widely used to make plastic bottles. It can remain in the environment for many years and pollute large areas of land and water. So it has always been a headache to deal with the waste from PET and other plastics.
The researchers made the discovery (发现) while examining the structure of a natural enzyme in Japan. They found that the natural enzyme was helping to break down PET plastics. So, they decided to make small changes to the enzyme by adding some amino acids (氨基酸). It made the natural enzyme's plastic﹣eating abilities work faster and better.
John McGeehan, one of the lead researchers, said, "We've made an improved enzyme. It's better than he natural one. And we are trying to make more improvements to it. "He went on, "The enzyme is not harmful to humans or animals, and it is friendly to the environment. So we are considering putting it into wider use. "
The team is now trying to make the enzyme break down PET in large quantities (大量地). "We'll see that the plastic pollution may be stopped with this technology. However, there is still a long way to go," John McGeehan added.
