The CoVID-19 and flu are both respiratory infectious diseases，with similar symptoms including fever and cough，but they aren't the same.
Both the CoVID-19 and flu are diseases caused by a virus. In the case of flu the pathogens（病原体）are flu viruses，and for COVID-19，it is a novel coronavirus（新型冠状病毒）.
Common symptoms for flu and novel coronavirus are nearly identical-fever，cough and tiredness sometimes sore throat and diarrhea. In several cases they result in pneumonia（肺炎）and even death in the worst cases. Flu has seasonal ups and downs. Although it can exist all year round，the virus infects more people in winter and spring. As for the novel coronavirus，the median age for the infected is 51.But the novel coronavirus is a brand new virus no one has total immunity no matter their age.
Both the flu and the novel coronavirus are transmitted in the similar ways，by direct contact with infected patients or small droplets from the nose or mouth when a person with virus coughs or breathes.
FIu can be spread by an infected person for several days before their symptoms appear. As for the novel coronavirus，spread might be possible before people show symptoms，but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
For the novel coronavirus，there is also a risk for aerosol transmission（气溶胶传播）In health facilities，people may catch the virus if they breathed in aerosol, the suspension of find solid or liquid particles in the air, which have been contaminated by the virus. The novel coronavirus has also been found in patients’ fecal (排泄物) samples, but fecal-oral transmission does not appear to be a major transmission route.

I earned about the zero waste movement in 2010 after reading a book about it in the library. It was eye-opening and encouraged me to remove as much single-use package as possible.
But as I followed the advice，I met many challenges. It turns out that small town Ontario isn't nearly as progressive as San Francisco when it comes to allowing reusable containers in grocery stores.
That’s when I wished I still live in downtown Toronto which would give me access to many health food store that allowed reusable containers. It took a while, but finally I realized that my location give me one key advantage over city’s people. I now live at the center of food production, which means I can go directly to producers to get ingredients that are not only package-free but the freshest and most delicious.
“Zero waste should be thought as more of an ideal than an hard-and-fast rule. It’s so geographically independent on what is in your area, so I think it is about doing your best to make use of the resources you have.” said Celia Ristow, founder of a website. It is refreshing to see that fact accepted by others. It’s true that the best-known zero waste supporters are city’s people, who have access to many stores and restaurants that are willing to work with them.
However, wherever you are, it is impossible to find a places that meets all the ideals criteria. But that doesn’t mean we should stop trying. The food scene in my small town has changed greatly in the past six years and far more reusable choices have been available than before. We have a food co-op that allows for online ordering and home delivering, many locations for dropping off milk bottles, a growing summer farmer’s market and large pick-your own fruit farm.
I tell people and remind myself to remove what you can. Maybe the farmer’s market share are only seasonal, and you have to be perfect, in fact, as the saying goes, “Perfection is the enemy of progress.”
1.What advantage does the author have over city's people?
A.An access to delicious food B.A chance to avoid wasting food
C.A direct access to farmer D.A chance to refusing food containers
2.What does Celia Ristow say about zero waste?
A.It should be viewed as a rule. B.It requires you to start small.
C.It is more widely supported. D.It has geographic limitation.
3.Which of the following is suggested in the text?
A.Making good use of what you have. B.Finding some more zero waste methods.
C.Trying to improve your surroundings. D.Buying supermarket produce once a week.
4.What might be a suitable title for the text?
A.Zero Waste makes no place perfect B.Zero Waste depends on where you live
C.Zero Waste is a hard-and-fast rule D.Zero Waste calls on you to start small
When Faith Wan jiku graduated from the Technical University of Kenya last year, she immediately enrolled (注册) at the Confucius Institute in Kenyatta University. She wanted to learn Chinese，as she believed that it would help her land a good job.
She has just completed the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) 3 exam. HSK is a test of Chinese language level for non-native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.

Behind the growing popularity of Chinese language leaning is the international community’s positive attitude toward China’s future developments, as well as the peoples longing to learn about Chinese civilization and culture.

I have seen amazing things.
My first visit was to a space station considered the most modern in space. Described as an enormous round plate, it spins slowly in space to imitate the pull of the earth’s gravity. Inside was an exhibition of the most up-to-date inventions of the 31st century. A guide showed us around along a moveable path.
Guide: Good morning to all our visitors from 2008. First we’re going to examine one of the latest forms of communication among our space citizens! Messages can now be sent using a “thoughtpad”. You place the metal band over your head, clear your mind, press the sending button, think your message and the next instant it’s sent. It’s stored on the “thoughtpad” of the receiver. It’s quick, efficient and environmentally friendly. The only limitation is if the user does not think his or her message clearly, an unclear message may be sent. But we cannot blame the tools for the faults of the user, can we?
During the explanation I looked at the pair of small objects called “thoughtpad” on a table. They just looked like metal ribbon. So ordinary but so powerful! While I was observing them, the path moved us on.
Guide: And now ladies and gentlemen, we are in the “environment area”. People used to collect waste in dustbins. Then the rubbish was sent to be buried or burned, am I right?（We nodded.）Well, now there’s a system where the waste is disposed of using the principles of ecology. A giant machine, always greedy for more, swallows all the waste available. The rubbish is turned into several grades of useful material, such as “fertilizer” for the fields and “soil” for deserts. Nothing is wasted, and everything, even plastic bags is recycled. A great idea, isn’t it?
I stared at the moving of the waste machine, absorbed by its efficiency. But again we moved on.
Part 1
Our third stop shows the changes that have happened to work practices. Manufacturing no longer takes place on earth but on space stations like this one.

My mind began to wander. What job would I do? My motivation increased as I thought of the wonderful world of the future.
