The novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) has already made tens of thousands of people sick. Where did the virus come from? Scientists say it probably came from bats.
Bats can carry and transmit more than 60 viruses that can infect humans， Live Science noted. They include the world’ s deadliest viruses，such as Ebola and HIV. Due to their strong immune systems (免疫系统)，bats are able to host these viruses and not get sick. At the same time，the viruses keep developing inside the bats to create new variants (变体). These variants can then infect new hosts，such as other wild animals.
Pangolins (穿山甲)，for example，might be an intermediate host (中间宿主) for NCP，according to a recent study by Chinese scientists. This means that bats might have given the virus to pangolins，with pangolins then spreading it to humans.
Wild animals like snakes，hedgehogs (刺猬) and bamboo rats also carry various viruses. But since they live in the wild，there should be few chances for humans to come into contact with them and get infected—unless the animals are eaten or used to make animal products. When people hunt， buy and eat wild animals， they can introduce viruses to the rest of the population.
But this doesn’t mean that we should kill wild animals. Each species has a role in the eco-system (生态系统) and all of them are important in keeping a natural ecological balance. The lesson we can learn from disease outbreaks is to respect and protect animals and to live in harmony with them instead of hunting，killing，or eating them.
1.Why can bats host many viruses without getting sick?

B.Because the viruses are kept in balance.
C.Because they have strong immune systems.
D.Because they can spread the viruses to other animals.

Today we started our new school term. We were very happy to see friends again. But the most exciting of all，the new term is the time to plan new hobbies. It is common in Britain for students to plan new hobbies after the Christmas holidays. Deciding to start something new is a common New Year resolution.
Most schools offer different kinds of hobby classes. Students take them in their free time or after school. You have to pay for some classes and others are free. For example，I once took a free Friday evening gymnastics(体操) class my school offered. But when I wanted to learn how to play the drum，my parents had to pay for the lessons.
The most popular extra classes at my school were piano lessons. We also like playing a role in the drama (戏剧) club. Both classes offered exams students could take. Students with many hobbies sometimes felt more stressed than those without any. But the students with hob-bies left school with many extra skills.
I have not stopped any of the hobbies I began at school. Although sometimes I may feel very tired，there are also some good reasons for me to insist on it. And I have never regretted taking them. My best friend today is someone I met in my gymnastics class. We have the same hobby and we spend time a lot.

Long ago，as people got older，there was something wrong with their teeth and it would be very painful. To avoid a toothache，they had their teeth pulled out. Later people learned that cleaning their teeth was important，but they didn’t have toothpaste (牙膏) at that time. They used lemon juice，salt or other things to clean their teeth.
It was only about 100 years ago that someone finally created a mint (薄荷) cream to clean teeth. Not long after that，the toothpaste tube (管子) was invented，so people could squeeze (挤出) the toothpaste right onto the toothbrush! Tooth brushing became popular during the World War I. The U. S. Army gave brushes and toothpaste to all the soldiers，and they learned to brush teeth twice a day. Back then，toothpaste tubes were made of metal；today they’ re made of soft plastic and are much easier to use!
Today there are plenty of toothpaste choices：lots of colors and flavors (口味) to choose from，and some kinds of toothpaste are made just for children. When you’re choosing a kind of toothpaste，make sure it has fluoride (氟化物). Fluoride makes your teeth strong and healthy. When you brush，you don’t need a lot of toothpaste：just squeeze out a bit.
