26、Pang Hui placed a few more pairs of chopsticks on the table for a family dinner, though she did not expect her big family of seven would use them as serving chopsticks.

Surprisingly, her 75-year-old father, who used to shrug off the idea of serving chopsticks, became a firm supporter this time, said Pang, 40, from Beihai, a coastal city of South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Chinese people often share dishes, and diners use their own chopsticks to serve themselves food from the shared dishes, a tradition now being challenged by the outbreak of COVID-19.

"We feel a sense of crisis as well as the urge to desert our old habits when we see reports of family infections, " Pang said, pointing to the reports of the virus spreading via droplets and close contact.

Local governments are helping to encourage a shift, too. On Feb. 13, 2020, local authorities of Beihai started a campaign promoting serving chopsticks and spoons, which will avoid cross infection caused by the use of personal chopsticks.

Similar measures were also adopted in other cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. Taizhou city in East China's Jiangsu Province even standardized the colours of serving chopsticks and spoons to help diners differentiate (区分) them from personal ones.

The practice of eating wild animals has been targeted by the government, which remains present in certain areas.

China stopped the illegal trading and transportation of wild animals shortly after the outbreak. The move became a permanent ban on Feb. 24, 2020, when the country made a decision on thoroughly prohibiting (禁止) the illegal trading of   wildlife and the consumption of wild animals.

Li Bo, with the Hainan International Center for wildlife Protection, said wild animal consumption could lead to the faster extinction of particular species, damage the ecological balance and harm people's health.

" The epidemic(流行病) could become a turning point to eliminate the bad habit, " Li said.

28、   It’s been a long, wet winter. As thousands of people died from coronavirus disease, improving our immune system has rarely felt more urgent.

“When you come into contact with a virus you’ve never met before,” says Sheena Cruickshank, a professor of immunology at the University of Manchester, “you’ve got various barriers such as skin, microbiome and so on to try to stop it getting into your body.” If a virus breaks these defenses, it has to deal with our white blood cells, or immune cells.

“However, our immune systems may have blind spots, where our immune response might won’t recognize certain bugs,” says Cruickshank, “Personally, my immune system is not necessarily very good at seeing colds.” But a healthy lifestyle will secure solid defenses.

Cruickshank recommends “eating a more varied diet with lots of high-fiber foods”. Being vegetarian isn’t a necessity for microbiome health, but the more plant foods you consume, the better.

To be immunologically fit, you need to be physically fit. “White blood cells can be quite inactive,” Says Prof Arne Akbar, the president of the British Society for Immunology, “Exercise mobilizes them by increasing your blood flow, so they can do their security jobs.” Apart from this, exercise can reduce stress, which is next on our list of immune-improving priorities. Stress hormones(激素) can weaken immune function. If you have had it, the virus never completely goes away. “During periods of stress,” says Akbar, “it can reactivate and then we get sick.”

Exercising and eating well will have the likely knock-on effect of helping you sleep better, which is a bonus because a tired body is more sensitive to bugs. “If you’ve got a regular sleep pattern, you have natural body rhythms and everything’s fine. If they go out of order, then you’ve got problems.” says Akbar.

【1】According to paragraph 2, when the barriers fail in preventing a virus entering your body, _________ will come up next.

A.skin B.blood

C.microbiomes D.immune cells

【2】Why does the author mention by “my immune system is not necessarily very good at seeing colds”?

A.To emphasize that our immune system is not always reliable.

B.To tell us that Cruickshank doesn’t lead a healthy life.

C.To stress that a healthy lifestyle helps improving immune system.

D.To indicate that catching a cold is not a terrible thing.

【3】What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 5 refer to?

A.Microbiomes B.White blood cells

C.People doing exercise D.Stress hormones

【4】This text mainly introduces _________ ways of improving our immune system.

A.2 B.3

C.4 D.5

【5】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.How to boost your immune system to avoid coronavirus?

B.Why does coronavirus have a bad effect on our health?

C.Coronavirus: Improving our immune system

D.Immune system: the best way to deal with coronavirus

A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York City has tested positive for the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus, becoming the first known case of human-animal 【1】, the zoo's chief veterinarian said on Sunday.
