How to Care for Your Mental Health?

When you’ve been exposed to an infectious illness, it’s important to quarantine (隔离) yourself 1. While you likely don’t need to worry, spending a lot of time in quarantine may have a negative effect on your mental health.

You can participate in enjoyable activities. While you’re in quarantine, try to do things you enjoy, like watching TV or your favorite movies. You might even use this time to catch up on shows you’ve been planning to watch. However, limit yourself to a few hours of TV at a time so you don’t start to feel down. 2. Otherwise, you can have sad feelings or depression.

3. You might have days when you feel like there’s no point in bathing since you are not going out. However, it’s important to maintain good hygiene (卫生), and bathing actually improves your mood. Bathe or shower at least once a day so you’re taking good care of yourself.

4. You probably want to know what’s going on outside your quarantine space, but too much information can add to your stress, especially news about a pandemic (流行病). Set times to check on the news so you don’t get caught in a constant cycle of watching for updates. 5. So you aren’t seeing news updates there.

A.Practicing self care is vital.

B.So you don’t accidentally infect others.

C.It’s best to manage your worries and emotions.

D.Text your friends and family throughout the day.

E.Fortunately, it’s possible to keep these emotions under control.

F.Of course, you should spend time doing other activities as well.

G.Additionally, set time limits for yourself when it comes to using social media.

 

    Over the past decade, drug-resistant diseases have appeared as a major health threat. But where do they develop the drug resistance? One surprising theory: they may have developed the resistance on farms, and not in hospitals.

The crop protection products farmers use to control many plant diseases are almost the same as the drugs doctors use to treat infections, including fungi (真菌). Fungi are continually mutating (变异), and with a life cycle measured in days or weeks, they mutate quickly. When a mutation produces resistance to a chemical-killing fungi, fungi will jump to any host that provides a welcoming environment, such as a human body. And if the treatment for the fungal infection involves a drug similar to the fungicide encountered on the farm, Fungi may develop quickly in the human body-just as they did in the field.

An obvious solution is to use less fungicide in the field. Reducing fungicide use would not only slow the development of the drug resistance, it would help restore diversity to the fungal world. Fungicides are a must in the farming community. Plant diseases pose a major problem for farmers globally-in some crops, disease can reduce harvests by more than 70 percent-and failure to deal with the problem can mean financial ruin.

Just like Fungi-or, indeed, any living thing-plants continually evolve. This is how natural gene editing (基因编辑) works, and without it, we'd all still be single cells in a salty soup. Through natural selection, almost any plant will eventually produce resistance to Fungi. But this can take centuries, so we don't have the time to wait.

On the other hand, advances in genetics have given us an understanding of nature's gene editing process in plants, helping us develop resistance to a disease. Gene editing techniques can then enable us to produce disease resistance-just as nature would do, if given enough time.

1.What can we infer about Fungi from Paragraph 2?

A.They can treat infection sometimes.

B.They don't stop developing new forms.

C.A human body is their favorite place.

D.There are no Fungi in the fields now.

2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word ''pose'' in paragraph 3?

A.Solve. B.Face.

C.Cause. D.Overcome.

3.What makes a plant produce resistance to Fungi?

A.The survival of the fittest.

B.Advances in technology.

C.The use of farm chemicals.

D.A welcoming environment.

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A.Ways to Prevent Drug-resistant Diseases

B.The Source of the Drug Resistance

C.The Popularity of Gene Editing Techniques

D.The New Theory of Natural Selection

 

    Road networks are expanding worldwide at an alarming rate. Although roads can promote economic development and improve human welfare, they can also have severe effects on wildlife populations by worsening habitat and human disturbance. Moreover, traffic disturbance from noise, lights, and motion reduces the quality of habitat near roads.

While roads are now everywhere across much of the earth, the construction of new roads will be concentrated in areas with high biodiversity value. Many of these new roads and highways will likely cross reserves or other highly biodiverse areas. Although roads are one of the most important impacts on global ecosystems, we know little about how patterns in road construction will affect biodiversity in the coming decades.

Here, we use a recently developed global roads data set to investigate the extent and potential influence of road networks across the 1,160,000-km,13-country range of the globally endangered tiger. In the Russian Far East, for example, roads reduce tiger survival rates due to crashes into vehicles. In some regions, tigers avoid areas closer to public roads, suggesting that roads act as important barriers to movement. The emerging impacts of road development on tigers are critical for several reasons.

We calculate road density (), distance to the nearest road, and relative mean species abundance (MSA) to characterize how road networks influence tiger habitats. These systems of measurement provide starting points for range-wide monitoring and impact assessments of road development projects, thus enabling evaluation of progress toward country-level conservation and sustainable (可持续的) development goals.

1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The importance of creating reserves.

B.The destruction to global ecosystems.

C.The effect on biodiversity worldwide.

D.The opinion about road construction.

2.Why is road development attacked?

A.It has bad influence on tigers.

B.It causes more traffic accidents.

C.It covers too many areas.

D.It requires a quantity of funds.

3.How does the author feel about the systems of measurement?

A.Optimistic. B.Doubtful.

C.Concerned. D.Astonished.

4.In which section of a website may the text appear?

A.Entertainment. B.Health.

C.Education. D.Science.
