In early 2020, a new disease called NCP（新型冠状病毒肺炎） hit Wuhan. It is reported that most people infected（感染）with the NPC looked like they had the common flu. They usually had a fever, a cough and shortness of breath. However, it spread so quickly that around tens of thousands of Chinese people were infected, and more than three thousand of them have died so far.
The Chinese government closed down the city to prevent the spread of the disease on 23rd 2020. At the same time, cases have been found across the world, including Korea and Japan.

You may have heard of people who are allergic（过敏）to seafood, smoke or pets. But did you know that some people were allergic to Wi-Fi signals?
Rose White, a 44-year-old woman from Britain, first found herself being allergic to Wi-Fi signals in 2015. She had a cough, heart trouble and great pains in her head when she stayed at the places covered with Wi-Fi signals.
Rose has tried many ways to keep away from Wi-Fi signals. In the past six months, she either slept in her car or in tent which she had put up in the woodland and in the fields.

Because of the hard life, she got a stomach problem.
She is now living in a small house in the countryside in England. There are far fewer Wi-Fi signals. However, the house, which belongs to her friend, will be sold to 'others, so she has to move again soon.
Rose is planning to move to a farther place away from cities. She is also planning to buy a camper van（野营车）so that she can drive away from Wi-Fi signals whenever she is feeling uncomfortable.
