I watched my Dad close the door. It was a really cold night in dead silence and I was all alone at home. My parents left because they had been running fever for several days and they were showing other symptoms of COVID-19. It was the 9th day of Wuhan lockdown starting on January 23. The virus we now know as COVID-19 is somehow fearsome partly because it does not discriminate (区别对待) in choosing who it infects. But that is only partly true. All the evidence suggest that it can be merciless to older people, so I was wondering whether my parents would make it and whether we would ever take family photos, which my parents and I had talked about during the Spring Festival holiday.. On their second day away my parents called and asked me how I was. We talked using FaceTime, and the moment I saw mom lying there with an oxygen mask and my dad could not talk without breathing heavily, I realized that I had to live on my own. But two weeks later, I came across a fever and had to go into quarantine (隔离) and be put under medical observations for 14 days. Fortunately, my illness turned out to be due to a bacterial infections but not COVID-19. Everything there was hectic, there seemed to be a shortage of medical staff and materials were in short supply. Even though the doctors and nurses were covered from head to toe, I could see how tired they were when I looked into their bloodshot eyes. They would work a whole day preparing for new patients and seemed incredibly apologetic for not having everything that was needed. Most of the patients were really understanding, but of course there were those who were not, and complained loudly, but all the doctors and nurses tried their best to deal with it in a calming way. And they are all from other cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou, and some of them are just three or four years older than me. When the quarantine was over, every patient effusively thanked the workers for what they had done, but the answer they received was exactly the same: “That’s what we’re here for.” 1.When did the author’s parents leave her for the hospital? A.January 23. B.January 30. C.January 31. D.February 1. 2.What does the underlined phrase “make it” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Succeed. B.Join in. C.Arrive. D.Survive. 3.What can we learn according to the passage? A.Both the author and her parents got infected with COVID-19. B.The majority of the patients understood the doctors and nurses. C.The patients apologized to the doctors and nurses because they were too tired. D.The author didn’t get infected with COVID-19 because the virus can only infect the older. 4.What may the author think of the medical workers according to the passage? A.Admirable. B.Outgoing. C.Impatient. D.Thankful.

The novel, tells of a girl whose brother dies in a skating accident and draws from Rijneveld’s own experiences: when they were three, their 12-year-old brother was knocked over and killed by a bus. “Rijneveld’s language renders (重现) the world again, revealing the shocks and violence of early youth through the angle of a Dutch dairy farm. The strangeness of a child looking at the strangeness of the world is in it,” said judges of the work. “The Discomfort of Evening is one of six novels in the running for the International Booker, each of which,” said chair of judges Ted Hodgkinson, “restlessly reinvents （重 塑）received narratives, from foundational myths to family folklore, plunging us into discomfiting and delightful encounters with selves in a state of transition (过渡)”. Hodgkinson chaired a panel （专家组）of five judges who selected the shortlist from 124 submissions. The coronavirus pandemic meant their meeting had to be virtual, but Hodgkinson said he and his panel still managed to discuss the line-up for more than six hours.

The 3D-printing industry is accelerating its efforts to help fight the new coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19. On Tuesday, HP announced it’s working with those who bought its 3D printers to make medical face shields, hands-free door openers and an adjuster for face masks for medical staff who often must wear them for hours. It’s also testing “hospital-grade” face masks meeting the higher-end FFP3 (过滤式面罩) standard and parts for simple emergency ventilators (呼吸机) and it’s looking into nasal swabs to test for COVID-19 infection. HP also is offering free downloads of its 3D-printed medical equipment designs. Carbon, whose 3D printers are used to make everything from bicycle seats to teeth straighteners, said it plans to send face shield designs to its network of customers who’ve bought its 3D printers. Carbon co-founder and Executive Chairman Joseph DeSimone said on Monday the company expects to send the designs by early Tuesday. 3D-printcr makers typically sell their products to others that actually do the 3D printing. One such customer, Ford, said Tuesday that it’s made 1,000 face shields and shipped them to Michigan hospitals, with plans to make 100,000 face shields a week. It is also working with 3M and General Electric on respirator masks and ventilator designs. The effort is one of several to apply 3D-printing technology to the fight against coronavirus. 3D printing isn’t as fast at churning out products as conventional mass production methods. But 3D printers are flexible and able to make many different parts anywhere there’s a printer and raw materials like the plastic resins Carbon printers use. Some 3D-printing efforts have focused on ventilators, which expected to be in short supply with a surge of COVID-19 patients suffering from respiratory (呼吸器官) problems. Also in short supply arc N95 masks that can be useful in reducing the likelihood a wearer will spread COVID-19 to others. Carbon’s DeSimone is cautious about the enthusiasm, though, saying that regulatory approval is important and that 3D-printcr enthusiasts shouldn’t be making components not intended for close human contact that might release unhealthy gases. 1.What is the passage mainly about? A.An introduction about 3D-printing. B.The 3D-printing industry’s efforts to help fight COVID-19. C.The products that 3D-printing makers sell. D.How 3D-printing makers produce medical equipment. 2.HP announced to help its customers to make the following products except for_____________. A.medical face shields B.hands-free door openers C.an adjuster for face masks D.emergency ventilators 3.Which of the following is true according to the passage? A.Carbon’s company will finish its design after Tuesday. B.Ford has made 1,000 face shields end plans to make 10,000 more in a week. C.3D printers arc more flexible than traditional mass production methods. D.Most 3D-printings focus on making ventilators and N95 because of their short supply. 4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.3D-printing may release unhealthy gases. B.DeSimone is cautious about 3D-printing. C.Carbon’s company didn’t gain regulatory approval of making medical equipment. D.3D printers aren’t enthusiastic about making components designed for close human contact.

If we analyze the creative process careful, we might know what it is and what it might work. The creative process has always accepted as the source of all important works in the arts, so we should not think the creativity plays a role only in the arts. Every major scientific discover begins with someone seeing the world differently from the way others sees it. And this is which creativity is all about—imagining the world in the new way. We all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolutely new way. In fact, we are born for it.
