　　Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and James Clerk Maxwell, three of the greatest physicists in history, worked by themselves most of the time. They learned from others not by working with them directly, but by reading their papers and books. Here is another example. In 1606, when an epidemic (流行病) hit London, all the theaters in the city were closed. At that time, English play writer William Shakespeare worked as an actor at The King Men Theater. After finding himself without a steady (固定的) job, but lots of spare time, Shakespeare began writing. He wrote King Lear, Macbeth, and Antony and Cleopatra before the year was over.

16．　　Since the beginning of 2020, COVID-19 (新型冠状病毒) has spread across the world. Just at the moment, many people around the world are suffering from the horrible disease.
　　So, what is such a terrible COVID-19? Let's get to know some information about it. First, COVID-19 is a common cause of colds and other respiratory (呼吸的) infections (感染). It can infect humans and certain other mammals like tigers. In fact, COVID-19 gets its name because the virus is like the sharp spikes (尖) on the crown. It first exists (存在) in some wild animals. It can spread from one animal to another. For this time, the coronavirus (冠状病毒) in animals may change suddenly and it can easily spread to people. It has never been met before and we have no experience, so it is quite hard for doctors to cure it.
　　The symptoms (症状) of COVID-19 are similar to those when people get a flu. The patients have a fever, cough and bad headache. They feel tired and can't breathe. Some also have muscle pain. So if you have such symptoms, you must pay more attention to yourself and see a doctor soon.
　　COVID-19 mainly passes by droplets (飞沫). So scientists suggest wearing masks, washing hands with soap and avoiding (避免) touching the eyes, noses, or mouths with hands. When coughing and sneezing, we should cover our noses and mouths with tissue. Also, we should stay away from people with flu-like symptoms. Everyone, please stay away from any public place which might risk infecting you.
