How to Prevent New Coronavirus(冠状病毒)?

New coronavirus is a member of the coronavirus family that cause conditions like the common cold, SARS and other respiratory(呼吸的) conditions. While new coronavirus can be serious, taking preventative measures can help you protect your health at home.

Wash your hands with soap and water to minimize your infection(感染) risk. 1. Wet your hands with warm water, then apply a mild soap. Work the soap for 20-30 seconds, and then wash your hands clean under warm running water.

Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth. You may come into contact(接触) with the new coronavirus on a surface, like a door handle or countertop. When this happens, the bacteria can stay on your hands, so you can easily infect yourself if you touch your face with dirty hands. 2.

Stay away from people who are coughing or sneezing. 3. Additionally, coughing and sneezing both release the virus into the air, so they may increase your risk of infection. Keep your distance from people who appear to have symptoms of an upper respiratory infection.

Disinfect high-touch surfaces daily by using a product that kills viruses. Unfortunately, new coronavirus can stay on surfaces, such as door handles and countertops. 4. Make sure the surface stays wet for about 10 minutes so it effectively kills the virus. This limits the risk of the virus staying on the surfaces and potentially causing an infection.

5. Information about new coronavirus has spread on social media, sometimes causing unnecessary fear. It’s helpful to fact-check your information before making any decisions.

A.Try not to worry too much if you’re not truly at risk.

B.Don’t run the risk of handling an animal that might be ill.

C.Use a spray disinfectant or wet wipes to clean the surfaces daily.

D.Call your doctor if you suspect that you are hit by new coronavirus.

E.Avoid touching your eyes,nose and mouth in case the virus is on your skin.

F.The best way to prevent new coronavirus is to wash your hands as often as possible.

G.Since new coronavirus is a respiratory infection,coughing and sneezing are common symptoms.

The secret of successful response

The novel coronavirus(新冠状病毒)is an uncommon threat. We don't know how bad it will be, nor do we know for how long it will spread. But we do know that it has already infected (感染) more than 18,000 people and killed many around the world. It also caused serious global economic damage. We need to adapt our responses to different countries and different parts of the same country in order to limit damage. Using data well is essential to such a successful response.

Data is key to all successful public health programs. In New York City, we raised tobacco taxes and made all indoor public places smoke free. Smoking rates declined at first but then the decline stopped. Because we had a tracking system in place, we realised that progress had stopped. So, we produced strong and direct no tobacco ads to the public. Our programs quickly reduced adult and teenager smoking, preventing more than 10,0000 deaths.

Every country facing the coronavirus disease needs to strengthen their data systems to track diseases, investigate skillfully and respond fast and successfully. Fast action will save lives and save money. But building the capacity to do this isn't free. It will cost about $1 to $2 per person per year for at least 10 years --- at least 30 billion. That's a lot of money for public health, but it's a tiny part of the amount lost when we don't know what we need to know about health threats.

Getting he data right is hardly quick and never easy, but it is always very important if we want to respond successfully, limit spread, and protect our communities and economy.

2.Why does the author talk about smoking in paragraph 2?

A.To warn us that smoking is harmful.

B.To suggest us how to reduce smoking.

C.To show the significant role of data.

D.To protect people's physical health.

3.What is the author's opinion on the building of the capacity of fast response?

A.It is too expensive and many countries cannot afford it.

B.It is worthwhile and necessary to develop such a capacity.

C.It supports communities and saves lives and saves money.

D.It requires a tiny part of the amount lost by heath threats.

4.What is the main idea of this passage?

A.The widespread of novel coronavirus has killed many people.

B.Using Data well is of vital importance to public health programs.

C.The importance of fighting against novel coronavirus.

D.The importance of raising tobacco taxes.

The 3D-printing industry is accelerating its efforts to help fight the new coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19.

On Tuesday, HP announced it’s working with those who bought its 3D printers to make medical face shields, hands-free door openers and an adjuster for face masks for medical staff who often must wear them for hours. It’s also testing “hospital-grade” face masks meeting the higher-end FFP3 (过滤式面罩) standard and parts for simple emergency ventilators (呼吸机) and it’s looking into nasal swabs to test for COVID-19 infection. HP also is offering free downloads of its 3D-printed medical equipment designs.

Carbon, whose 3D printers are used to make everything from bicycle seats to teeth straighteners, said it plans to send face shield designs to its network of customers who’ve bought its 3D printers. Carbon co-founder and Executive Chairman Joseph DeSimone said on Monday the company expects to send the designs by early Tuesday.

3D-printcr makers typically sell their products to others that actually do the 3D printing. One such customer, Ford, said Tuesday that it’s made 1,000 face shields and shipped them to Michigan hospitals, with plans to make 100,000 face shields a week. It is also working with 3M and General Electric on respirator masks and ventilator designs.

The effort is one of several to apply 3D-printing technology to the fight against coronavirus. 3D printing isn’t as fast at churning out products as conventional mass production methods. But 3D printers are flexible and able to make many different parts anywhere there’s a printer and raw materials like the plastic resins Carbon printers use.

Some 3D-printing efforts have focused on ventilators, which expected to be in short supply with a surge of COVID-19 patients suffering from respiratory (呼吸器官) problems. Also in short supply arc N95 masks that can be useful in reducing the likelihood a wearer will spread COVID-19 to others.

Carbon’s DeSimone is cautious about the enthusiasm, though, saying that regulatory approval is important and that 3D-printcr enthusiasts shouldn’t be making components not intended for close human contact that might release unhealthy gases.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A.An introduction about 3D-printing.

B.The 3D-printing industry’s efforts to help fight COVID-19.

C.The products that 3D-printing makers sell.

D.How 3D-printing makers produce medical equipment.

2.HP announced to help its customers to make the following products except for_____________.

A.medical face shields B.hands-free door openers

C.an adjuster for face masks D.emergency ventilators

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A.Carbon’s company will finish its design after Tuesday.

B.Ford has made 1,000 face shields end plans to make 10,000 more in a week.

C.3D printers arc more flexible than traditional mass production methods.

D.Most 3D-printings focus on making ventilators and N95 because of their short supply.

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.3D-printing may release unhealthy gases.

B.DeSimone is cautious about 3D-printing.

C.Carbon’s company didn’t gain regulatory approval of making medical equipment.

D.3D printers aren’t enthusiastic about making components designed for close human contact.

Nurses play a vital role on the front lines of the novel coronavirus(冠状病毒）pandemic. But a shortage of these essential health care workers could pose challenges in countries dealing with a growing number of COVID-19 cases.

"One of the lessons I hope the world learns from COVID-19 is that we must invest in nurses ," said World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus during a speech Tuesday in celebration of World Health Day.

WHO's new "State of the World's Nursing 2020" report has identified a global shortage of 5.9 million nurses. Many of those gaps are found in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Eastern Mediterranean, and parts of Latin America.

Among regions of the world, the Americas have the highest density of nurses at 83.4 per 10,000 people, followed by Europe with 79.3 nurses per 10,000 people. In contrast, there are 8.7 nurses per 10,000 people in Africa, 15.6 nurses per 10,000 people in the Eastern Mediterranean region, 16.5 nurses per 10,000 people in Southeast Asia, and 36 nurses per 10,000 people in the Western Pacific.

But there are also differences within regions. In the Americas, for example, countries such as Brazil, Canada, Chile, and the US have a higher density of nurses at close to or over 100 per 10,000 people, distorting the regional average. Many of the neighboring countries in the region have less than 50 nurses per 10,000 people. In Haiti, there are only 3.8 nurses per 10,000 people.

When based on country income, data in the report shows an unsurprising trend: The higher the income, the higher the nursing density. In low-income countries, the average density of nurses is 9.1 per 10,000 people, while the figure for high-income countries is 107.7 per 10,000 people.

But training more nurses won't solve the problem, said Dr. Giorgio Cometto, WHO coordinator on human resources for health policies and standards.

"If the country lacks the economic capacity to employ them or to create economic opportunities for them to work as nurses ... training more nurses can just go into the direction of making labor market imbalances, resulting in unemployment among nurses. And that's a huge wastage of human capital as well as financial resources," Cometto said.

The key is balancing training with the creation of employment opportunities in rural areas where there are known health worker shortages.

That may be easier said than done, especially among countries that are suffering from chronic or complex emergencies, in active conflict, or struggling in the wake of conflict. But in these settings, the international aid community can arrange its assistance with national priorities and covering recurrent costs, such as salaries, within a specified period of time, Cometto said.

1.How many nurses are needed according to WHO's new" State of the World 's Nursing 2020" report?

A.6 million. B.8.7Million.

C.3.8 Million. D.5.9Million.

2.From the figures in the passage , where are nurses most needed?

A.Africa. B.Haiti.

C.Eastern Mediterranean region. D.Southeast Asia.

3.Based on the country income what does the data in the report show?

A.The higher the income ,the more nurses are.

B.The higher the income,the more doctors are.

C.The lower the income ,the more doctors are.

D.The lower the income, the more nurses are.

4.From what Cometto said, we know that___.

A.It is easy to solve the problem of shortage of nurses.

B.It is not easy to solve the problem of shortage of nurses.

C.Training more nurses is a way to solve the problem.

D.The international aid community can arrange its assistance all the time.

The sudden outbreak of the novel coronavirus（新冠状病毒）left an uncommon threat. We don’t know how bad it will be, nor do we know for how long it will spread. But we do know that it has already infected more than 11,998,020 people and killed many around the world. It has also caused serious economic damage. We need to adapt our responses to different countries and different parts of the same country in order to limit damage. Using data well is essential to such a successful response.

Data is key to all successful public health programs. In Arrian, we raised tobacco taxes and made all indoor public places smoke-free. Smoking rates declined at first but then the decline stopped. Because we had a tracking system in place, we realized that progress had stopped. So, we produced strong and direct no tobacco ads to the public. Our program quickly reduced adult and teenager smoking, preventing more than 100,000 deaths.

Every country facing the coronavirus disease needs to strengthen their data systems to track diseases, investigate skillfully and respond fast and successfully. Fast action will save lives and save money. But building the capacity to do this isn’t free. It will cost about $1 to $2 per person per year for at least 10 years-at least $30 billion.

The World Health Organization (WHO), in cooperation with the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations(FAO), has identified best practices for the naming of new human diseases, with the aim to minimize unnecessary negative effect of disease names. “We now have a name for the disease and it’s COVID-19, “ WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters in Geneva.

COVID-I9, which has now spread to many countries, has much in common with seasonal flu. They are both viral infections(病毒感染) ,share similar symptoms and seriously can spread from human to human. In the midst of flu season in much of the northern hemisphere, telling the difference between the two will be vital in stopping its spread.

Human coronaviruses (冠状病毒), of which there are four, can cause lung problems similar to flu. However, COVID-19 is more serious than a “typical one,” says Ian Jones, a professor of virology at the University of Reading. “There is no antibodies (抗体) in the population so it has potential for a global spread, “warns Jones.

As with the Ebola epidemic (埃博拉病毒)，which peaked in the middle of the last decade, fears around the new coronavirus are rising due to a lack of knowledge over its nature. Medical advice is similar across those countries with confirmed cases of the infection. In many western countries, authorities are asking those who think they are infected to call an ambulance rather than visiting a hospital, where they could potentially pass on the virus. Similar advice has been issued in China and other Asian countries.

1.What’s the aim of confirming the name for the disease?

A.To reduce the bad influence of misusing name.

B.To make the disease known to all of us.

C.To raise awareness of this disease.

D.To minimize the risk of global spread.

2.COVID-19 has much in common with seasonal flu EXCEPT that_____.

A.they are both viral infections

B.they have similar symptoms

C.they can spread from human to human

D.they have potential for a global spread

3.According to paragraph 4, what is the main reason for the panic focused by COVID-19?

A.Shortage of drugs. B.A lack of knowing it.

C.Weak control measures. D.Speed of spreading.

4.What’s Ian Jones’s attitude towards the spread of COVID-19?

A.Indifferent. B.Confident.

C.Worried. D.Discouraged.
