Many ordinary people ranging from volunteers to media workers have dedicated (奉献) themselves to fighting the novel coronavirus. They prove that ordinary people can still do their part during difficult times.
On Feb 12, Dalian (not his real name) was taking a train to Changsha, Hunan, for a business trip. While on the train, he went into a carriage (车厢) to have lunch and chose to remain in the carriage. He did not realize that the carriage was only for people heading to Wuhan.
Several hours later, when the train arrived in Wuhan, Dalian was asked to get off, as he was in the special carriage. Although he was surprised, he didn’t want to cause trouble and got off the carriage with just a single bag.
As Wuhan had been locked down because of the epidemic (疫情), Dalian couldn’t find a hotel to stay in. Feeling at a loss, he saw a notice online looking for volunteers to work in hospitals. The payment was 500 yuan a day. Dalian decided to give it a try.
He soon became a volunteer at Wuhan No. 1 Hospital. He was responsible for taking out trash, mopping (拖) the floor, disinfecting (消毒) the hospital, dealing with used protective suits and bringing meals to patients.
The young man, reportedly from northeast China, had to work 12 hours every day, changing his protective suit three times a day. While working, he couldn’t drink anything or go to the bathroom. He also had to have close contact with infected patients, which is risky.
Dalian was afraid of getting infected at first. “When I entered the wards (病房), I was kind of frozen (僵硬的) and felt like I couldn’t move,” he said. But after seeing more patients get better, his fear gradually went away.
Dalian’s story has since gone viral (走红的) online. People were surprised by his experience, but also described him as having “a heart of gold”.
1.Why did Dalian have to get off in Wuhan?
A.Because he went there for a business trip.
B.Because he was in the wrong carriage.
C.Because he chose to have lunch in Wuhan.
D.Because he bought the wrong train ticket.
2.What made Dalian decide to work at a hospital?
A.He had volunteer experience.
B.He ran out of money.
C.He wanted to become a doctor.
D.He had nowhere to go.
3.Dalian’s job includes ________.
a. taking out trash and mopping the floor
b. disinfecting others’ protective suits
c. dealing with used protective suits
d. bringing meals to doctors
A.ab B.ac C.bd D.cd
4.What does this passage try to tell us?
A.Everybody should volunteer.
B.We must protect ourselves at all times.
C.Everyone can fight the virus in their own way.
D.We should be grateful for medical workers.

Many children spend a lot of time watching or playing with electronic media –from televisions to video games, computers and other devices（设备）.
So, it is natural that parents should wonder about the time children spend looking at a TV or computer screen. Americans say “screen time” when they talk about any time children spend in front of an electronic device.
Perhaps parents can stop worrying so much about screen time, at least for older boys and girls. In October 2016, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) listed several suggestions for parents and child care workers. Here are some of the suggestions.
Avoid(避免) digital media use in children younger than 18 to 24 months.
For children aged 18-24 months, avoid letting the child watch media alone. And avoid using media as a way to comfort your child.
For children two to five years of age, allow one-hour screen time on “high-quality（质量）programming” a day and watch it with your child.
For children aged 6 and older, don’t spend too much time using media. Also, make sure that screen time does not take the place of healthy sleep, exercising, doing homework and other activities.
Make sure to have media-free time together as a family, such as dinner or driving. Also make some areas of the home media-free. Turn off you child’s electronic devices an hour before bedtime.
1.What is “screen time” according to Americans?
A.A kind of timing system（系统）.
B.A survey on electronic media
C.Any time children spend in front of electronic media.
D.Any electronic device children like to play with
2.What did AAP do in 2016?
A.They gave some practical suggestions.
B.They told parents how to make their children’s screen time less.
C.They trained many child care workers.
D.They raised much money to stop children using electronic devices.
3.How do parents deal with the screen time for children two to five years of age?
A.Choose proper programs and watch with them. B.Play with them for at least one hour.
C.Avoid letting them watch TV. D.Don’t worry about them.
4.How does AAP show too much screen time?
A.An hour or more every day. B.Using too many electronic devices.
C.Screen time takes the place of other activities D.Using electronic media to comfort the children.
