Nwadays, we are very wrried abut such COVID-19 variants as Delta and Omicrn. T relieve ur anxieties, we shuld have a lk at ur wn cell and the riginal COVID-19 virus.
First f all, ur cell isn’t stupid. If any virus wants t enter ur cell, it must figure ut a way fr its spike (触手) t hld tightly t the spike n the cell’s surface. Yu can imagine this cnnecting as a secret handshake.
At the early stage, the COVID-19 virus figured ut a way t cnnect t a specific spike n the surface f human cell, called ACE2. But the cnnecting wasn’t perfect. Hwever, it was gd enugh t trick the ACE2 t let it in.
Once the virus was inside the cell, it kept cpying itself in rder t find mre cells t infect. During this time, the immune (免疫) system started making antibdies t fight back. Sme f thse antibdies acted like little caps that stick t the ends f the virus’s spike. Once “capped”, the infectin culdn’t mve frward, and the bdy wn!
But every time the virus cpies itself inside a cell, it has the chance f changing its spikes slightly. Mst f the variatins are actually harmful t the virus. S these variants disappear. Hwever, nce the virus hits upn a set f variatins that actually help the virus t cnnect mre tightly t the cell r mre quickly, a persn’s cell gets infected mre easily.
Then what abut the antibdies? Aren’t they cming t save us again? Well, yes... and n.
Scientists fund that a persn wh was infected with the earlier versin f the virus may nt be prtected as well against these new variants. He still can be infected, again. Hwever, the antibdies’ spikes cme in different shapes, t. S even thugh sme antibdies becme less useful, thers will get the jb dne—r at least, hld back the infectin lng enugh s the bdy can make new antibdies that fit perfectly n the changed spike.
4．What des the underlined wrd "it" in paragraph 2 refer t?
A．The virus.B．The cell.
C．The spike.D．The cnnectin.
5．What is the fifth paragraph mainly abut?
A．Hw a virus enters the human cell.
B．Hw a virus cpies itself inside a cell.
C．Why the immune system can fight back.
D．Why virus variants have different infectin rates.
6．What can be learned frm the text?
A．COVID-19 variants will becme mre and mre infectius.
B．It is unlikely fr COVID-19 patients t get infected again.
C．Old antibdies might be less effective against new variants.
D．It is hpeless t get rid f the COVID-19 in the near future.
7．What is the best title fr the text?

Owning a smartphne may nt be as smart as yu think. It may let yu surf the Internet, listen t music and snap phts wherever yu are... but it als turns yu int a wrkahlic, it seems.
A study suggests that, by giving yu access t emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mbilephne adds as much as tw hurs t yur wrking day. Researchers fund that Britns wrk an additinal 460 hurs a year n average as they are able t respnd t emails n their mbiles.
The study by technlgy retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK wrking day is between 9 and 10 hurs, but a further tw hurs is spent respnding t r sending wrk emails, r making wrk calls. Mre than 90 percent f ffice wrkers have email-enabled phnes, with a third accessing them mre than 20 times a day. Almst ne in ten admits spending up t three hurs utside their nrmal wrking day checking wrk emails. Sme wrkers cnfess they are n call almst 24 hurs a day, with nine ut f ten saying they make wrk emails and calls utside their nrmal wrking hurs. The average time fr first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with mre than a third checking their first emails in this perid, and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight.
Ghadi Hbeika, marketing directr f Pixmania, said, “The ability t access literally millins f apps, keep in cntact via scial netwrks and take phts and vide as well as text and call has made smartphnes invaluable fr many peple. Hwever, there are drawbacks. Many cmpanies expect their emplyees t be n call 24 hurs a day, seven days a week, and smartphnes mean that peple literally cannt get away frm wrk. The mre cnstantly in cntact we becme, the mre is expected f us in a wrk capacity. “
