What can be both red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone? Yes, the answer is chilies(辣椒).

Many of us in China enjoy adding chilies to our food, but did you know that this spicy(辣的) vegetable could also be dangerous? A 34-year-old US man recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili people have ever known so far. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following days, reported BBC News.

In fact, eating spicy food causes stomachaches and headaches. But if chilies are harmful, why do people like to eat this vegetable? So what makes people love chilies so much? The human body is influenced by natural chemicals that produce “a sense of happiness”, noted BBC News.

And chilies are good to people in another way. Scientists found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is 14 percent lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. This encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and bring less death risk at an early age. So, don’t worry if you love spicy food. It seems that chilies are actually good for us.

What is a hero? We may think of the fictional characters with supernatural powers or great people who can influence world events. Now, as the nation continues its all-out efforts to fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia(新冠肺炎), medical staff have become heroes in the eyes of the public.

As of Feb 19, a total of 32, 000 medical staff outside Hubei province have been working to treat patients around the center of the outbreak.

Zhang Dingyu, the president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, is one of these heroes, since the hospital received the first seven patients in December, Zhang has been so busy that he barely gets any sleep. Even suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(肌萎缩侧索硬化), the 56-year-old doctor is doing his best to quicken his pace to save precious time for infected patients.

“I have to run, racing against time to save more patients from the deadly disease, because I don't have much time left in my life, ” Zhang told Xinhua News Agency.

With the duty of saving lives, many medical professionals like Zhang have been working long hours for days, despite their fear and worries.

Lu Jingjing from Wuhan Children's Hospital also works at a temporary mobile hospital. She does not let her parents know that she is now working with novel coronavirus-infected patients.

When her parents ask for a video chat, Lu says she is working and lets her husband and children chat with them instead.

“It’s dangerous but we should win the battle with the virus as soon as possible, so that medical staff and patients can go back home, " she told China Daily.

US writer Khalil Gibran (1883- 1931) once wrote, "Tenderness(温柔) and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair(绝望), but the manifestations of strength and resolution. " It’s true for the medical workers.

Everyone has fear, especially when it comes to deadly diseases. But for medical staff, saving lives comes first and is enough for them to be brave and stay on the front. They may look like ordinary people in daily life, but in these extraordinary(不同寻常的) times, they are heroes.

1.What do we learn from Zhang Dingyu's words?

A.His illness has turned him into an impatient man.

B.His illness makes him work without any fear.

C.He feels sorry for himself because of his illness.

D.He wants to help as many patients as possible.

2.Why doesn't Lu Jingjing answer her parents' video calls?

A.She is too busy and has no time for video chats.

B.She doesn't want her parents to worry about her.

C.It's not allowed to make a video call from the hospital.

D.There is no network signal at the temporary mobile hospital.

3.The underlined word "manifestations" in the second-to-last paragraph probably means　　　　　 .

A.results B.differences C.symbols D.advantages

4.What is the author's main purpose in writing this article?

A.To explain what makes a modern-day hero.

B.To praise medical staff for their efforts to fight the NCP.

Many people have argued about which is more important—reaching our destinations or enjoying the view along the way. 1. For a whole journey, there is nothing more important than enjoying the beautiful sights on the way.

Most of us know the saying “All roads lead to Rome”. However, few of us know the second half of this saying: “... though some are born in Roman.” 2. The first half of the expression explains that there are many ways of achieving the same goal. However, the second half forces us to acknowledge（承认）that someone will always achieve it more easily than others. They stand right there where we try our best to get. 3.　 I don’t feel any worse about myself than those who were “born in Rome”. I can get a lot from the journey I take to reach my goal.

4. Is it because we like the challenge? Do we just want to have an unforgettable adventure? However, whatever our original motivation（原始动机）is, we shouldn’t miss enjoying the view along the way. 5. So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now.

A. What does it mean?

B. I agree to the second opinion.

C. It might just be as important as reaching our goals.

D. But we should also understand why we want to reach our goals.

E. No one will remember the joy and sadness along the way.

F. Does it mean that the efforts spent in reaching Rome are a complete waste?
