The novel coronavirus outbreak has greatly affected the lives of people across the world. It has challenged and changed people' lifestyles. It has also helped us think about our relationships with others.

Changing our lives

①COVID-19 has made people think harder about their relationship with nature. It has also raised questions about urban lifestyles. The sharing economy, working in open offices, living in crowded apartments and the food industry's use of reusable products have made the perfect storm for a pandemic.

②Although the sharing economy might be good — it's cheaper to rent than to own — sharing spaces and objects are great ways to spread the virus. How does one do “social distancing" when they are expected to share cars, bikes, apartments and even the same offices?

③The trend of using open offices, which can save space, is working against us. In this type of office, workers don't have their own desk - everything is shared. Sometimes, computers and chairs are also shared, which is not hygienic (卫生的). Fortunately, more workers are working from home during the pandemic, but that won't last forever.

④Reusability is a common practice in the restaurant industry. Reusable cups and chopsticks are often used. Unfortunately, reusable products increase the chance of spreading disease. For example, Starbucks recently stopped refilling customers' reusable cups in order to stop the spread of the virus.

⑤People like to be social. But the virus has made this more dangerous. We have to be careful about how we interact with others for now. Perhaps we need to rethink about our lifestyles to reduce the spread of future pandemics.

1.According to the author, the strong point of the sharing economy is that________.

A.it lasts longer B.it costs less

C.it's popular D.it's hygienic

2.Paragraph 4 is mainly about________.

A.how working at home won't last long B.how shared offices can save space

C.the hygienic problems of open offices D.the sharing economy trend

3.According to the author, restaurants can spread the virus easily because________.

A.everything is shared in many restaurants B.they use too much disposable tableware

C.many restaurants have poor hygiene D.cups and chopsticks are often reused

4.The author probably agrees that________.

A.we need to change some of our lifestyles B.the sharing economy won't last forever

C.no one can stay out of the sharing economy D.we shouldn't say away from shared products

During the outbreak of novel coronavirus, cities are locked down and borders are closed. Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open. And this “open science” is already making a difference.

Soon after the epidemic started in China, a research team from Fudan University in Shanghai successfully sequenced (测定序列) the DNA of the virus. But they didn’t keep the information to themselves. Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open-access data platform, so researchers around the world could　 download them for free and start studying the virus.

Due to this openness, pharmaceutical ( 制 药 的 ) companies across the globe are now able to work simultaneously (同时地) to develop a vaccine. “There may be room for multiple different vaccines for different purposes and different age groups,” Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security in the US, told Al Jazeera. “The bigger menu we have of vaccines, the more resilient (有适应力的) we’ll be against coronavirus outbreaks in the future.”

Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their study results. Remdesivir, a drug originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, is found to be promising in fighting against the novel coronavirus. Currently, two trials of the drug are already underway in China, and the results might be available as soon as April, according to The Verge.

1.Which of the following statement is not the main things the epidemic has caused?

A.Cities are locked down.

B.Borders are closed.

C.Borders is becoming more open to fight against it.

D.“Open science”plays an important role.

2.What are mentioned as the examples of “open science” in this part?

a. A research team from Fudan University placed the sequences of the virus onto an open access data platform.

b. Companies across the globe share their developed vaccine.

c. Major drug companies share their study results.

d. US company Gilead Sciences developed drugs to treat Ebola.

A.ab B.ac C.bc D.cd

3.What if Chinese scientists kept the information to themselves?

A.The research process could be delayed and the chance of defeating the virus would be lessened.

B.They could let the world download the information for free.

C.The world could develop the vaccine more quicker than now.

D.Chinse scientists could work to help the world.

Using these cigarettes requires small power from battery and these cigarettes are also available in various flavors and varied nicotine levels.
