Here are the main points.Individual diners’ food should be served to customers in separate tableware.Each shared dish should be served with a separate pair of serving chopsticks(公筷).Each diner should have two pairs of differently colored chopsticks. One is to get food from shared dishes to place into individual bowls, and the other is for eating from individual bowls.The above new standards aim to protect the public health in a scientific and practical way. Over 200 companies have followed the guidelines. In order to encourage customers to follow the standards, some restaurants offer parking coupons(优惠券) to those who use serving chopsticks.According to a survey about separate dining, nearly 89% of 100,000 interviewees believe it’s more hygienic(卫生的) because it reduces the risk of infection via saliva(唾液传染).For Chinese, it is not easy to change their dining behavior, because they think the grouped dining system is a tradition. When they share the food, they are building up a close relationship among diners. Besides, it is difficult to divide Chinese dishes into separate parts.Eating separately is a break from tradition, but it is helpful to prevent diseases and improve health. People can still sit at the same table, sharing the same food and the same culture in a new way.1．What is the purpose of the new standards?A．To protect the public health.B．To change the dinning traditions in China.C．To completely stop the pandemic.D．To encourage separate dinning at home.2．How do some restaurants encourage customers to use serving chopsticks?A．By offering free meals.B．By putting up posters in the restaurant.C．By giving customers small gifts.D．By reducing customers’ parking fees(费用).3．The following are the reasons why it’s not easy to change Chinese dinning behavior EXCEPT ________.A．Dining together is a tradition in China.B．People believe a close relationship can be developed when dinning together.C．Dividing Chinese dishes into separate parts is not easy.D．People care little about the public health.4．What’s the best title for the article?A．New Dinning Standards B．How COVID-19 Changes UsC．Chinese Dinning Culture D．Eating Together, Separately【答案】1．A   2．D   3．D  4．D  As the novel corona-virus (新型冠状病毒) spreads throughout China and the rest of the world, an important question has yet to be answered: where did the virus come from?The latest study showed that pangolins (穿山甲) may be an intermediate (中间的) host of virus, according to Xinhua. However, bats are suspected to be the original cause."We don't know the source yet, but there's pretty strong evidence that this is a bat origin corona-virus," said Peter Dazsak, president of Eco-Health Alliance, an environmental nonprofit (非营利机构), according to The New York Times. "When you look at the genetic sequence (基因序列) of the virus, and you match it up with every known corona-virus, the closest ones are from bats," Dazsak also told CNN.So why are bats the source of so many deadly kinds of viruses and why don't they suffer from any symptoms (症状)? Bats are mammals (哺乳动物) that have a long lifespan (寿命) and live with millions of other bats in caves, where they can potentially spread the virus far and wide. As the only lying mammal, their body temperature is high, similar to a fever It's this fact that may contribute to bats' unique immune system (免疫系统) in protecting from the ill effects of viruses.But are bats truly to blame for the virus or should we be blaming ourselves? It's the fault (错误) of humans for decreasing (减少) the distance between us and virus-carrying bats. Bats are an important animal in our ecosystem (生态系统) when it comes to pollinating (授粉) many fruits such as mangoes, bananas and avocados. We need to allow them to continue pollination and keep them away from our markets and mouths.1．What can we learn about the origin of COVID-19?A．Bats have been discovered to be its original cause.B．Pangolins are now considered the most likely source.C．It's confirmed by comparing sources of several different viruses.D．The virus was found to be genetically similar to those see in bats.2．Why don't bats suffer from the corona-virus?A．Their low body temperature protects them.B．Bats have a unique immune system.C．Bats are the only flying mammal to live in groups.D．Living in caves helps bats fight against viruses.3．What is the main point the author makes in the last paragraph?A．Virus-carrying bats should be killed.B．Humans should stay away from bats.C．Bats benefit but also harm our ecosystem.D．Bats could spread Viruses during pollination.【答案】1．D  2．B  3．B  Latest advice on novel coronavirus(新型冠状病毒)If you had been in Iran, China, Italy or South Korea in the past 14 days, you’re advised to:— stay at home— avoid public settings.Do this for 14 days after landing in Australia (other than when looking for medical care).If you have been in close contact with someone who has coronavirus, you should:— stay at home— avoid public settings for 14 days after you last came into contact with them.If you have fever, cough, sore throat or have trouble in breathing, you ought to:— go for medical treatment as soon as possible.What else can you do?Wash your hands regularly with soap and water.Cough into your elbow and sneeze (打喷嚏) into a tissue.If you are worried about your health condition, call the Department of Health and Human Services coronavirus hotline 1800 675 398.Please keep Triple Zero (000) for emergencies (紧急情况) only.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。1．Who is the text written for?A．People in Italy. B．People in China.C．People in Australia. D．People in South Korea.2．What are you advised to do if you just came back from Iran?A．Go to the hospital at once. B．Call the hotline immediately.C．Don’t meet anybody for two weeks. D．Call your family as soon as possible.3．What does the underlined word “contact” mean in the text?A．联系 B．接触 C．观察 D．援助4．What should you do if you are worried about your health condition?A．Go to the Department of Health and Human Services office.B．Call and tell about your condition first.C．Wash your hands and clear your nose.D．Get some help from Triple Zero.5．In which section of a newspaper would you probably read the text?A．Science & technology. B．Business & markets.C．Health & life. D．Books & arts.【答案】1．C  2．C   3．B  4．B   5．C  Although most of us are now stuck at home because of the coronavirus (新型冠状病毒) outbreak, there are till many people trying to do some creative things not only to kill time, but also to help themselves and others stay positive during this difficult time.
