Yesterday, our teacher asked us when a man could be referred to as an old man. David stood up and said people with wrinkles could be called old people. However, Mary didn’t _________ for some people may gain wrinkles at an earlier age owing to their tough life. Then Lily expressed her idea that those reaching their 60s or more could be called old people. However, Emily expressed her _________ and said some old people may still be energetic and trying to pursue their dreams, which makes them appear young. The class was over and we still didn’t reach any _________, so the teacher asked us to think about it after class.
The question has reminded me of the saying of J. Barrymore that a man isn’t old as long as he is _________ something.
My grandma is such a woman who pursues her dream _________ when she’s 70 now. She has _________ her dream of being a painter since she was a little child. _________, because her family was poor, she had to _________ her dream and stepped into the _________ to raise money so as to support her family. Though she has __________ abandoned her dream, she could hardly find any time to realize it because of the tough work. __________, chance came when she retired from her work. She began taking her painting lessons __________ she had all-white hair and lots of wrinkles. At first, I was __________ her idea of attending school at so old an age, but after seeing her paint happily and enjoyably, I began feeling it a good choice. She seems __________ and looks fine.

Social distancing can impact mental health. How shall we handle it?
More than three billion people globally are living under lockdown measures. Many people in recent weeks have begun working at home, if they haven’t been laid off. Schools have canceled classes. 1.. Restaurants, retail stores, gyms, bars, theaters and other gathering places have all been shuttered (关门) in many countries.
Though these closures are all attempts to enforce social distancing, mental health experts still suggest scientific and handy measures to reduce people’s mental problems during isolation. Following are some of their tips:
2.. Engaging in activities that distract you from current events can also be helpful. You can watch your favorite movies and TV shows, pick up a new hobby like baking or DIY crafts, join an online fitness class or enroll in a free online university course. In addition, you can take virtual tours together of museums, national parks and other sites.
Make time for self-care. When stress heightens, please carve out some time for yourself every day, even when you’re hunkered down, to do something that makes you feel good. 3.. Also,don’t forget the critical self-care activities like eating healthy, getting adequate sleep and regular physical activity.
Stay connected with family and friends. Maintaining social networks can foster a sense of normality and provide valuable outlets for sharing feelings and relieving stress. 4.
Be there for others. 5.. In China, some people find self-value by organizing donation activities and volunteering to deliver food and other necessities for the quarantined. In Spain, group exercise classes are being conducted for quarantined residents on their balconies.
A.You won’t get infected with COVID-19 by talking on the phone, texting or chatting with your family members and friends on social media platforms.
B.Move around.
C.And some people will stay connected through phone calls, text message or joining an online community.
D.Helping others is also a good way to improve happiness.
E.Keep yourself busy.
F.Whether it’s journaling, reading a book, playing with your pet or listening to music.
G.Sporting events and religious services have been called off
Today, getting information is as easy as opening a browser on your computer/phone, typing in a question and waiting a nanosecond for a long list of links to load. These websites will promise to answer your question. But actually, they may not be all that trustworthy. Figuring out which site is believable and which is false takes work. It isn’t impossible, though. Actually, it is what every good journalist does daily. And students and other non-journalists also can do it.
To check a new claim, good reporters contact experts on the topic. In journalism, such experts are known as “sources”. This may be a scientist who discovered something new in the lab. Or it could be the witness to a crime.
However, not everything is easy. For instance, if there’s a forest fire, how do you know where it started, when and how? You can ask government officials, but they may not know. You can talk to people near the fire shortly after it started. But unless someone spotted the fire as it happened, people may never know for sure. They may simply offer speculation. Saying something “might have” or even “probably” started that fire isn’t a fact. So you’d have to qualify any statement about the fire’s origins.
I describe such words as “weasel words”. These words and phrases include “might” “could have” “was likely to have been”, etc. Whenever something isn’t known for sure, journalists will highlight their uncertainty by using weasel words. They never over-blow claims to the readers.
A good reporter should be paid for the work he does. Some blogs and even news sites are authored by unpaid writers. Many of these writers are untrained in reporting, and their reports may not provide the depth. Thus, if the news you’re reading is free to the world online, consider what that may mean. Overall, you should be skeptical. That’s acting like a journalist.

C.Writing information. D.Analyzing information.
2.How does the author show the difficulty in looking for sources?

3.What does the author think of weasel words?

C.They are a sign of a good journalist. D.They make a difference to a report.
4.What should be the best title for the text?

C.Check Facts You Can Trust D.Keep in Doubt like a Good Reporter
