In the year of 2020, the coronavirus（新冠病毒）out broke（爆发）all over the world. A lot of people suffered from（遭受……折磨）a fever or a cough. Don't be afraid. Here is some advice to help you protect yourself.

Wash your hands. You need to wash your hands with soap and water before you eat, after you use the toilet, and after you touch animals, because your hands may carry viruses (病毒). Cover your nose and mouth. When someone sneezes（打喷嚏）or coughs，the viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air，so you'd better stand a proper distance while talking to someone who has a cold. And always cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough，and then clean your hands. Wear a mask(口罩). Some doctors say that masks can stop the virus as much as 80%, but if you don't wash your hands often, it's no use wearing a mask. So it's necessary to wear the mask in the groups of people.

Do sports often. Exercises will help make your body strong enough to resist（抵抗）the virus.

NEW word in 2020

Coronavirus is this year’s Children’s Word of the Year. This is very interesting given that the 500 Words competition closed on 27 February 2020, the day before the first case was documented in the UK. This shows the influence of important events around the world on children’s creativity.

Highlights

The word coronavirus appeared for the first time in the 500 Words stories in 2020. It is not a word that has been used before.

The word has been used 459 times in the stories in 2020, with 287 of them as coronavirus, 168 as corona virus, and 4 as corona-virus.

It is amazing that many of the themes young writers explored in fiction soon became a reality with the world in lockdown.

Examples

The nurses came running over. I felt a pain in my neck, I started to gasp for air. My body started shaking I couldn’t control myself. My eyes rolled to the back of my head, a mask covered my mouth, my temperature raised and I have the coronavirus.

(The Ex, girl 13)

A few years later he finally landed on earth ... but when he landed he found out a deadly virus had struck earth, the corona virus ...

When we are born, we are given names that stay with us for our whole lives. Some names include good wishes and hopes from parents, while others may be special and easy to remember. But do you know how the new coronavirus got its name?

The task of naming a virus is no less important than naming a person. When a disease breaks out, the official(官方的) naming of a new virus is often late and may lead to many problems. Over the past ten years, some improper names have caused problems. In 2009, the "swine flu(猪流感)" was widely used before the official name, HINI virus, was announced. This led Egypt to kill all of its pigs even though it didn't spread among people who hadn't been near pigs. In 2015, the name MERS(Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, 中东呼吸综合征)made people of this region angry.

So in 2015, the World Health Organization(WHO)announced that the names of viruses should be easy to remember but avoid being named after places, people, animals and foods. Following these rules, the new coronavirus we are suffering from was named "COVID-19" by the WHO on Feb 11, 2020. In this name, "CO" means "corona", "VI" sands for "virus" and "D" means "disease".

1.When our parents name us, they __________.

A.often put their hopes on us B.try to make the names special

C.can easily remember our names D.let the names stay with us longer

2.What does the underlined sentence mean?

A.Naming a virus is not very important.

B.Naming a person or a virus is a difficult task.

C.Naming a virus is as important as naming a person.

D.Naming a person is more important than naming a virus.

3.Which is true according to the second paragraph?

A.MERS killed many pigs in Egypt. B.HINI virus could spread among people.

C.A new virus isn't often named officially in time. D.Improper names caused viruses to spread widely.

4.What do we know about MERS virus?

A.It broke out in 2009. B.It was named after places.

C.It got its name from WHO. D.It made local people angry.

5.Which of the following is the main idea of this text?

A.How does WHO deal with viruses? B.Why does a new virus have a name?

C.What have viruses done to the world? D.How did the new coronavirus get its name?
