    As millions of people move indoors to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the World Health Organization suggested that governments should restrict access to alcohol during lockdowns.

Drinking alcohol can affect peoples' immune systems and make them more vulnerable to the bad health effects of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, according to WHO. Alcohol use is also associated with diseases and mental health disorders that can make a person more likely to contract COVID-19.

"At times of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, alcohol consumption can worsen the health vulnerability, risk-taking behaviours, mental health issues and violence," WHO noted in a press release.

The organization encouraged governments to "enforce measures which limit alcohol consumption."

In the US, alcohol sales increased 55% over a one-week span last month, according to market research firm Nielsen.

Excessive drinking can cause alcohol poisoning and increase the risk of violence among intimate partners.

WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned earlier this month that stay-at-home orders and self-quarantining will likely lead to more home violence.

"Women in abusive relationships are more likely to be exposed to violence, as are their children, as family members spend more time in close contact, and families cope with additional stress and potential economic or job losses," Tedros said.

The guidance issued last week came from WHO's European regional entity. The area has the highest alcohol intake in the world, and roughly 1 million deaths are caused by alcohol every year there.

"Alcohol is consumed in excessive quantities in the European Region, and leaves too many victims. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we should really ask ourselves what risks we are taking in leaving people under lockdown in their homes with a substance that is harmful both in terms of their health and the effects of their behaviour on others, including violence," Carin Ferreira-Borges, the program manager for the region's alcohol and illicit drugs program, said in a statement.

1.What did WTO encourage the governments to do during the lockdowns?

A.It encouraged the governments to prevent people from going out.

B.It encouraged the governments to tell people to keep social distance.

C.It encouraged the governments to close the schools.

D.It encouraged the governments to limit the sale of alcohol.

2.Which is not the reason why people are not allowed to drink more alcohol?

A.Drinking more alcohol will affect peoples' Immune systems.

B.Drinking more alcohol will cause more violence at home.

C.Drinking more alcohol will cause more traffic accidents.

D.Drinking more alcohol can cause poisoning.

3.In what area did people like drinking most in the world?

A.Asia B.America

C.Europe D.Africa

4.From what Tedros said who is more likely to be affected by violence at home?

A.Young people. B.Old people.

    If you're looking for a reason to care about tree loss, this summer's record-breaking heat waves might be it. Trees can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit(华氏度), according to a recent study. But tree cover in US cities is shrinking. A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period. If we continue on this path, "cities will become warmer, more polluted and generally more unhealthy for inhabitants," said David Nowak, a senior US Forest Service scientist and co-author of the study. Nowak says there are many reasons our tree cover is declining, including hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, insects and disease. But the one reason for tree loss that humans can control is sensible development.

"We see the tree cover being changed, which means when we look at the photographs, what was there is now replaced with a parking lot or a building," Nowak said. "Every time we put a road down, we put a building and we cut a tree or add a tree, it not only affects that site, it affects the region." The study placed a value on tree loss based on trees' role in air pollution removal and energy conservation.

Nowak says there's a downside to trees too, such as pollen allergies or large falling branches in storms, "and people don't like sweeping leaves." But, he says, there are ways cities and counties can manage trees to help communities thrive. Urban forests especially need our help to replace fallen trees. Unlike rural areas, it is very difficult for trees to repopulate themselves in a city environment with so much pavement and asphalt(沥青). "A lot of our native trees can't actually find a place to drop a seed so they can regenerate," explains Greg Levine, co-executive director for Trees Atlanta. "That's why the community has to go in and actually plant a tree because the areas just aren't natural anymore."

Nowak says the first step is caring for the trees on your own property. "We think we pay for our house, and so we must maintain it. But because we don't pay for nature, we don't need to. And that's not necessarily true."

1.Why does the author mention “trees can lower summer daytime temperatures” ?

A.To tell the temperatures in summer are high.

B.To introduce the topic.

C.To tell trees are helpful.

D.To explain the reason of tree loss.

2.How can humans control tree loss according to Nowak ?

A.Improve climate to let trees grow.

B.Prevent fires form damaging trees.

C.Develop cities in reasonable ways.

D.Decrease insects in citites.

3.Why forests in cities need our help ?

A.Because trees in urban areas can’t regenerate naturally.

B.Because native trees don’t drop seeds any more.

C.Because trees don’t grow in a city environment.

D.Because humans want to plant more trees.

4.What is the purpose of this passage ?

A.Describe the importance of trees in cities.

B.Show the number of trees in the US is declining.

C.Ask people to plant trees with the author.

D.Appeal people to protect trees in their surroundings.

 

    A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family. But Casey Hathaway told his rescuers that he was not alone in the rainy, freezing cold woods. He said he was with a friend–a bear.

The child went missing on January 22 while playing with friends at his grandmother's house in the southern state of North Carolina. When the other children returned to the house and Casey did not, the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police.

Police formed a search and rescue team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods. But two days went by and still-no Casey. Two days later, someone called the police saying they heard a child crying in the woods. Police followed up on the information and found Casey at about 9:30 that night. They pulled him out of some wild bush. He was in good health. Casey told the rescuers that he had hung out with a black bear for two days, a bear he called his "friend."

The police officer Chip Hughes spoke with reporters from several news agencies. He said Casey did not say how he was able to survive in the woods for three days in the cold, rainy weather. "However," the police officer said, "he did say he had a friend in the woods that was a bear that was with him." Hundreds of people helped in the search and rescue efforts, including some 600 volunteers, federal police and members of the military. Officer Hughes told reporters that at no point did he think Casey had been kidnapped.

Doctors at Carolina East Medical Center treated Casey for minor injuries. He was then released to his family on January 25. His mother Brittany Hathaway was on cloud nine and talked with reporters from a local news agency and thanked everyone who joined the search for her son. "We just want to tell everybody that we're very thankful that you took the time out to come search for Casey and prayed for him, and he's good," said his mother. "He is good, he is up and talking. He's already asked to watch Netflix. So, he's good."

1.What did Casey's family do on finding he went missing?

A.They rang up the police at once.

B.They got into a panic and at a loss as to what to do.

C.They didn't call up the police until nearly an hour later.

D.They gathered together and discussed what they should do next.

2.How was Casey when he was found?

A.He was almost frozen to death. B.He simply got some slight injuries.

C.He was badly injured by the bear. D.He was all right as he usually was.

3.Who helped a lot in the process of the rescue work according to the text?

A.The reporters. B.Casey's friends.

C.A bear staying with Casey. D.Some person passing by the woods.

4.What does the underlined phrase "on cloud nine" probably mean in the last paragraph?

A.extremely excited B.terribly frightened

C.mentally troubled D.unusually annoyed

Patience is of great important in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left than the bus had arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then did I realize my problem. Be impatient will probably waste all the effort what we have put in. Now whenever I am about to losing my patience, I will think of this experience.

 

A Game of Light and Shade

It was a sunny day. I had gone up and down the tower when, outside the door at the foot, a blind man came toward me. In a moment, he disappeared up the stairs. I looked at the sign that said “To the Tower”, and decided to _______ him.

I caught up with him in the ticket office. There I was _______ to see the attendant (工作人员) selling him a ticket as if he were any other visitor. Then, with the ticket in one hand and _______ the wall with the fingers of the other, the blind man reached the stairs _________ to the hallway.

“That man is blind. What would a blind man climb up the tower for?” I said to the attendant, expecting him to show some _______, but he didn’t answer.

“Not the _______ certainly,” I said. “Perhaps he wants to _______.”

I bought a ticket and _______ up the stairs. The man hadn’t gone as far as I _______. A third of the way up the tower, I heard his ________. I slowed down and followed him at a little ________. He stopped from time to time. When he got to the balcony, I was a dozen steps ________. As I reached it, I saw him at the corner of the tower.

At last, after ten minutes, I ________ him. “Excuse me,” I said as politely as I could, “but I am curious to know ________ you came up.”

He smiled. “Coming up the stairs, you will notice how not just light but sun ________ into the tower through the narrow windows here and there, so that you can feel the ________ —the cool stairs suddenly become quite warm—and how up here behind the wall there is ________, but as soon as going opposite a window you can find the sun. There is no ________ so good as this for feeling the difference between light and shade. It is not the first time I’ve come up.”

The blind man seemed quite ________ just like a child who was enjoying his favorite games. He told me the truth that blind men can also find the beauty in life ________ they cannot enjoy the sights of the world.

    If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all.1. So challenge the following limits:

1. Figure out what you’re scared of and do it continuously.

If you’re a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call.2. But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eye and say, “Go on. I’m not scared!”

2. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to develop

Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this.3.Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.

3. Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.

4.A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.

4. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.

Don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers—try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class.5.

A.You should do it continuously.

B.Someone may hang up on you.

C.You don’t need to go to the gym.

D.Running in the gym may be a better choice.

E.Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.

F.Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on.

G.You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.

 

    Last week, Education Secretary Arne Duncan declared war on paper textbooks. “Over the next few years,” he said in a speech at the National Press Club, “textbooks should be abandoned.” In their place would come a variety of digital-learning technologies, like e-readers and multi-media websites.

Such technologies certainly have their place. But Secretary Duncan is threatening to light a fire to a tried-and-true technology—good old paper—that has been the foundation for one of the great educational systems on the planet. And while e-readers and multi-media websites may seem appealing, the idea of replacing an effective learning platform with a widely hyped (炒作) but still unproven one is extremely dangerous.

An expert on reading, Maryanne Wolf, has recently begun studying the effects of digital reading on learning, and so far the results are mixed. She worries that Internet reading, in particular, could be such a source of distractions(分散注意力) for students that they may cancel out most other potential benefits of a Web-linked, e-learning environment and while it's true that the high-tech industry has sponsored substantial amounts of research on the potential benefits of Web-based learning, not enough time has passed for longitudinal(纵向的) studies to demonstrate the full effects.

In addition, digital-reading advocates claim that lightweight e-books benefit students' backs and save schools money. But the rolling backpack seems to have solved the weight problem, and the shocking costs to outfit every student with an e-reader, provide technical support and pay for regular software updates promise to make the e-textbook a very pricey choice.

As both a teacher who uses paper textbooks and a student of urban history, I can't help but wonder what parallels exist between my own field and this sudden, wholesale abandonment of the technology of paper.

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Multi-media websites and good old paper are kinds of digital-learning technologies.

B.Digital learning technologies will replace the paper textbooks sooner or later.

C.E-readers and multi-media websites are learning methods that are proved effective.

D.A tried-and-true technology is paper textbooks, long used in educational system.

2.What is the drawback of paper textbooks according to the passage?

A.Their weight. B.Their price.

C.Their content. D.Their appearance.

3.What worries Maryanne Wolf is that ________.

A.paper learning can provide more potential benefits

B.students may not focus on learning by digital reading

C.digital reading can't provide potential benefits for users

D.the results of digital reading effects are understandable

4.What is the author's attitude towards digital-learning?

A.Disapproving. B.Supportive.

C.Positive. D.Objective.
