    The World Health Organization(WHO)has the following advice to protect yourself from being infected with the coronavirus or other flu-like diseases.

1. Clean your hands often and carefully with an alcohol-based hand cleaner or wash them with soap and water. Washing your hands kills viruses that may be on your hands.

Keep social distancing.  2. When someone coughs or sneezes, he releases small drops of liquid from his mouth or nose which may contain the viruses. If you are too close, you can breathe in the liquid, including the COVID-19 virus if the person coughing has the disease.

Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Your hands touch many surfaces where viruses can survive up to nine days. Once contaminated(弄脏), hands can carry the viruses to your eyes, nose or mouth. 3.

Promote respiratory hygiene(呼吸道卫生). Make sure that you cover your mouth and nose with your elbow or facial tissue when you cough or sneeze. 4.

If you have a fever, a cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early. Stay home if you feel unwell, even with mild signs of infection such as headache and slight runny nose, until you recover. If you have a fever, a cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention, and follow the directions of your local health official. 5. This will also help to prevent possible spread of the coronavirus and other viruses.

A.Wash your hands frequently.

B.Then throw away the used tissue in a specially provided dustbin immediately.

C.If not, you are bound to be in a horrible condition.

D.Stay home and never participate in any social activities.

E.From there, the viruses can enter your body and can make you sick.

F.Stay at least one meter away from anyone who is coughing or sneezing.

G.Calling ahead will permit the health official to quickly direct you to the right health facility.

    Red pandas are native to the high forests of Asia. They are only a little bigger than a house cat and considered to be endangered. Scientists reported last month that not all red pandas belong to the same species. There are two different species of this animal，not just one，a study found. The scientists reported finding major differences in three genetic markers between Chinese red pandas and Himalayan red pandas. Scientists identified the markers after studying DNA from 65 of the creatures. DNA carries genetic information for the development，growth and reproduction of living things. Documenting the existence of two separate species could help guide efforts for protecting red pandas，scientists added.

Chinese red pandas live in northern Myanmar，as well as southeastern Tibet，Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in China. Himalayan red pandas are native to Nepal，India，Bhutan and southern Tibet in China，the researchers said.

Conservation biologists Yibo Hu and Fuwen Wei 1ed the study.  “To conserve the genetic uniqueness of the two species，we should avoid their interbreeding(杂交繁殖)in captivity，”Hu said. “Interbreeding between species may harm the genetic adaptations already established for their local habitat environment. ”

Scientists had earlier suggested there were two species of red panda. But the new study was the first to provide the genetic information necessary to permit such a judgment. International experts estimate a total population of around 10，000 red pandas in the wild. The two species differ in coloration and skull shape. The Himalayan red panda is the rarer of the two.

Major dangers to red pandas include deforestation and habitat loss. While they have similar names，red pandas and giant pandas are not closely related. Giant pandas are one of the world’s eight bear species. Red pandas are sometimes called living fossils because they have no close living relatives. They are the only remaining member of their mammalian family.

1.What is the purpose of recording the existence of the two different species of red panda?

A.To direct efforts for the protection of them.

B.To better distinguish red pandas and giant pandas.

C.To inform people there exist two species of red panda.

D.To confirm there are major differences between them.

2.In which place can we spot Himalayan red pandas?

A.Southeastern Tibet. B.Yunnan Province.

C.Southern Tibet. D.Northern Myanmar.

3.What can we know about the two species of red panda?

A.They belong to the same animal family as giant pandas.

B.Their existence has been known already.

C.They differ mainly in size and shape of skull.

D.To protect them，we should interbreed them.

4.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A.Lifestyle. B.Culture.

C.Entertainment. D.Science.

    I’m going through it right now. Last night one of our three family dogs was hit and killed by a car in front of my mother’s house. The dogs became, more or less, my mother’s surrogate children after her human children grew up and moved out and my father ran with a midlife crisis and left her. The one that was killed had bonded with my mother far more than the others.

She is extremely shocked. I loved the dog, but my true sadness currently results from having to watch my mother bear another tragedy after everything she has been through in her life. In the midst of all of this, I have to sincerely applaud the driver of the vehicle, which feels wrong, but it’s not.

I’ll start by stating it was not his fault. The dog ran after a deer into the road at night. In an effort not to hit the deer with his car, he changed direction, not seeing the dog, resulting in its death. He could have very easily continued on his way, but he did something that I hope I never forget.

In my eyes, he did the right thing. The driver pulled over, carefully wrapped our dog in a blanket he got from his car to preserve its dignity, and carried it up to my mother’s front door.

He was visibly shaking and very upset. He informed my mother of what happened and she broke down immediately. He comforted her the best a stranger could and waited with her while my sister rushed to her house. He left his information and offered assistance in any way he could.

Yes, he is the man who hit and killed our dog accidentally. What he really did was spare my mother, and potentially my sister, from coming across a horrible scene themselves while searching for the dog. He had so many choices that were far easier to make than what he chose. He did the right thing and for that, thank you, Stranger. You restored my faith in humanity.

A.It was killed by the driver on purpose.

B.It lost its life during a fight against a deer.

C.It was a particular favorite of the author’s mother.

D.It got killed by hitting the deer while running after it.

2.What does the underlined part “feels wrong, but it’s not” in Paragraph 2 probably mean？

A.The driver ought to answer for the dog’s death.

B.The author thought it sensible to praise the driver.

C.The author believed it was not the driver’s fault to kill the dog.

D.The driver should not take responsibility for the dog’s death at a11.

3.Which of the following can best describe the driver?

A.Self-condemned and considerate. B.Calm and far-sighted.

C.Reliable and generous. D.Irresponsible and unreasonable.

4.What may the author agree with?
