Passage 1
Disturbed by reprts f rising dmestic vilence under crnavirus lckdwn, a Plish high schl student launched a fake nline shp t ffer a lifeline t victims trapped in their hmes. Her idea wn a Eurpean Unin prize that came with €10,000（$12,120）.
"I heard abut a French initiative(计划), where peple g t the pharmacy (药房) and ask fr a special mask that lets the pharmacist knw they are a victim f dmestic vilence," Krystyna Paszk explained. "I thught it was s brilliant!" In April, she decided t pen her shp "Cammiles and Pansies" t sell thse csmetics. When a victim writes asking t buy a cream, a psychlgist respnds instead f a salespersn and asks hw lng the "skin prblems" have been ging n fr. If smene places an rder and leaves an address, it is actually a cde asking fr authrities t visit their hme.
After Krystyna penly wrte abut her plan n her wn Facebk page, she was flded with questins. "I thught it wuld nly be fr my friends, but the shares n Facebk were big and it became a hit," she said.

"There are arund 70,000 dmestic vilence cases annually in Pland, f which 56, 000 are treated as family cnflicts rather than crimes."
Krystyna credits her interest in human rights t her rle in the scuts（童子军）—she leads a Warsaw scut grup and created its Facebk page. After she wn the prize, she claimed t put the mney t gd use and was pleased that a sptlight was being shne n the prblem f hme abuse.

In nrmal times, Parisiens and turists frm arund the wrld wuld be lking arund Jérôme Callais’s gds casually, and 230 ther pen-air bksellers g alng the left and right banks f the Seine fr nearly fur miles.
But as lckdwn bans t cntrl the COVID-19 pandemic keep visitrs in truble, the bksellers’ livelihd is rapidly being put in danger. Many are wrrying it may be the final perid fr a centuries-ld métier that is regarded as a landmark t Paris as the Luvre and Ntre Dame.
Sales have decreased an average f 80 percent this year, Mr. Callais said, thrwing many bksellers int dangerus straits. But sme bksellers want t wrk. They are eager t keep a traditin that dates t the 16th century. Many f tday’s bksellers are retired peple living n pensins (养老金) wh are cllectrs f literature and magazines.
A grwing number f peple in their 30s and 40s have jined their ranks, wh are attracted by the freedm f wrking utside an ffice in rain r shine.

Passage 3
We tuch ur faces all the time, and it had never seemed t be a big prblem—until COVID-19 arrived. Tuching ur faces—the "T-zne" f ur eyes, nse and muth in particular—can mean giving urselves the deadly virus.
This is why rganizatins like the Centers fr Disease Cntrl and Preventin (CDC) have suggested that we avid tuching ur faces. "Just stp this simple behavir," William Sawyer, funder f Henry the Hand, a nnprfit rganizatin that prmtes hand hygiene (卫生), tld The Washingtn Pst. "It's the ne behavir that wuld be better than any vaccine (疫苗) ever created."
Yet, stpping this "simple" behavir might be harder than yu think because it's already hardwired (固定存在于) int ur system.
Sme face tuching is an autmatic reflex (反射) —like when there is an itch (痒) n yur nse, yu'll scratch (挠) it withut thinking. Accrding t CNBC, a 2014 study fund that tuching yur face als helps t reduce stress and regulate emtins. Fr example, yu're mre likely t d it when yu feel awkward r embarrassed. Accrding t Dacher Keltner, a psychlgist at the University f Califrnia Berkeley, US, this actin may als cme with a scial functin: When yu are talking t smene and want t change the subject, fr example, tuching yur face is like "the curtains n a stage, clsing up ne act f the scial drama, ushering (引导) in the next," Keltner tld the BBC．
Mrever, face-tuching in almst all f these ccasins is subcnscius, which means it's very hard t change "because yu dn't even knw yu're ding it", said Sawyer. But yu're nt alne. In a 2015 study, where a grup f medical students were filmed in class, it was fund that they tuched their faces an average f 23 times an hur—with 44 percent f the tuches being in the "T-znes". That was particularly surprising since medical students were suppsed t knw better.
Since it's s hard t shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is t wash ur hands mre ften. This way, we can be sure that ur hands are free frm the nvel crnavirus.

Passage 4
The starting pint f herd immunity (群体免疫) fr COVID-9 is still uncertain , but many epidemilgists (流行病学家) believe it will be reached when between 60 percent and 80 percent f the ppulatin has been infected and develps resistance. A lwer level f immunity in the ppulatin can slw the spread f a disease smewhat, but the herd immunity number represents the pint where infectins are generally less likely t turn int large utbreaks.
Studies that use the tests t examine nly a small quantity f ppulatin, ften called serlgy (血清学) surveys, are being undertaken arund America and the wrld. The purpse f these new studies is t lk fr antibdies (抗体) in peple’s bld, prteins prduced by the immune system that indicate a past infectin.
An advantage f the tests is that they can pick ut peple wh may have been infected and didn’t knw they were sick. A disadvantage is that the tests are smetimes wrng---and several studies, including a ntable ne in Califrnia, have been criticized fr nt taking the pssibility f inaccurate results int cnsideratin r fr nt representing the whle ppulatin.
While these studies are far frm perfect, many cuntries, including parts f Sweden, are n track t achieve s-called herd immunity frm the nvel crnavirus-caused COVID-19 disease within weeks. In general, they give a better sense f hw far the crnavirus has truly spread and its ptential fr spreading further.

Older high schl students, like thse wh will be graduating in 2022, may n lnger have grades clleges will like. Sme high schls even changed the way they give grades. Classes where the best students nce received an A grade have been changed t what is knwn as "pass/fail".

Sme strng universities in the U.S. als decided they wuld nt require students t take the SAT, ACT r Advanced Placement tests.

Even with the prblems f the last year, Hver said clleges want t see that students fund a way t take n difficult prjects. Als, he said, they shuld nt give up n getting gd grades.
