The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared (宣布) the new coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak a global public health emergency after the spread of the disease across the world. WHO made the decision in its third meeting about the coronavirus, after it decided not to take such a step in the first two meetings. Officially called a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC),it is considered to be a public health risk through the international spread of disease. It suggests a serious, sudden and unusual situation in which the world must act quickly.
Since 2009, there have been a few global health emergencies, including the 2009 swine flu pandemic (猪流感) and the 2014 outbreak of ebola in West Africa.
The new coronavirus has got attention because of its similarity to SARS which killed about 800 people across the world in 2002-2003. So far, the new coronavirus does not seem to be as deadly as SARS, but there have been more cases.Its declaration could cause trade and travel restrictions (限制). Those who have made holiday plans might have their plans affected (受影响的) in some parts of the world.
The WHO said its greatest worry was the potential (潜在性) for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems, who might not be able to handle (处理) it.“We are all in this together and we can only stop it together,”said the WHO’s Director General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Zhang Dingyu the director of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, leads over 600 doctors and nurses fighting against the Novel coronavirus pneumonia(新型冠状病毒肺炎），which has caused hundreds of deaths in central China's Hubei Province.
As Zhang led over 600 doctors and nurses fighting the disease, his strange way of walking shocked his colleagues. He finally admitted that he had fallen ill with ALS ( 渐冻症) since October 2018 after constant researches. ALS is a disease that gradually blocks the connection between brain and body. People with ALS become partially paralyzed ( 瘫痪的）leading to respiratory（呼吸系统的）failure.While working with handicapped（残疾的）legs,his wife was confirmed to get infected with the virus after working in another hospital. The bad news brought him to his knees,and he cried for the first time after the virus broke out. Zhang could only find time to visit his wife until three days after she was sent to the hospital. Even then he could only stay there for 30 minutes. Fortunately, the good news came that his wife had recovered ten days after treatment.
Zhang,57 years old,has offered medical services along with Chinese medical teams to many areas. Three days after the earthquake hit central Sichuan Province in 2008, Zhang entered the city with his medical team members to offer help.“Life is always short.

On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War（抗击新型肺炎战）, the Ministry of Education issued（教育部公布）a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before March. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.
However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect(影响） children’s studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.
In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform（平台）, where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.
It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection（感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.
Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.
1. Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because _______.
A. children may be infected by virus
B. they don’t like the idea of online learning
C. children’s study may be affected
D. parents have no time to look after children
2. Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?
A. To keep playing online games.
B. To keep touching different people.
C. To do some physical exercises outside.
D. To teach children about health knowledge.
3. The underlined word “suspension”in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.
A. planB. stopC. growthD. change
4. Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Students would rather go to school.
B. The date of going to school is decided.
C. Online teaching will help students study.
D. Parents believe children can teach themselves.
5. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. A Special Way to Learn at Home
B. A New War with a New Chance
C. A Way to Keep Mentally Healthy
D. A Method to Make Parents Worried

I'm very sad these days, because we were going to travel to Guangzhou. Because of the outbreak of this novel coronavirus in Wuhan, we can't play anymore.
Therefore, I stay at home with my grandfather,grandmother,father, mother and brother. I dare not go out. If someone wants to go out to buy food, I will remind him: "don't forget to put on the mask!" I also entrusted my father to donate this year's new year's money to Wuhan.
At present, everyone is responsible for the country. Come on ,Wuhan! Come on,angel in white! Come on, China!
假定你是李华，你的美国朋友Anna来信询问有关新型冠状病毒（novel coronavirus）的情况。请你给Anna回信给她简单介绍一下我国疫情的情况，应对措施以及你的看法。
It is so considerate of you to receive your letter inquiring about novel coronavirus in Wuhan. I am writing to tell you about this.
Since the outbreak of an infectious disease in Wuhan in December 2019, the Chinese government has decisively closed down the city to prevent the spread of the disease. At the same time, although cases have been found throughout the country, the Chinese people actively face it, together with Wuhan to fight the epidemic.
At this particular time, we should go out as little as possible, isolated. If we go out, we must wear protective masks to prevent ourselves from getting infected. In addition, we should keep good healthy habits and keep our body clean.
As many Chinese say, “come on, Wuhan”, we believe we can.
