Several months ago, Chinese COVID-19 vaccines(疫苗)were put to use widely. Our government offers free vaccines to Chinese people. Here is some information you need to know.
How is the vaccine given
It is given by injection(注射). There are several ways to get injected. For the most common way, you are supposed to get it twice. After the first injection, you have to get the second one.
Is the vaccine bad for human bodies
Some people are afraid that the vaccines are dangerous and may make them sick. In fact the vaccines have been tested for a long time. They won't cause any disease. Instead, they can protect our bodies from being hurt.
Who is suitable
Medical researches have shown that Chinese vaccines are suitable for most people. And people aged 18 to 59 would be the first ones to get injection. Our government expects people over 60 who are in good health to get injected as well. You'd better ask doctors for advice at first.
Should we still wear a face mask
Yes. It takes a few weeks for the body to build the ability to fight the COVID-19 after injection. Sometimes the vaccines might not work well in the body. So it's best to keep wearing face masks in public and wash your hands often.
( )4. can get the COVID-19 vaccines first in China.
A. People of all ages
B. People aged 3 to 17
C. People aged 18 to 59
D. People aged 60 and above
( ) 5. The underlined word "disease" means in the passage.
A. illness B. trouble

C
The natural world is colourful with humans, plants and animals showing different colours.
Human skin can be many different colours and it changes with the sun, our feelings or our health. This is because of pigments(色素), which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colours. So, when we feel excited or angry, our heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red. This is why we have the expression that someone "sees red" when they are angry.
Plants also have pigments. Colour is important for them to llve on. The bright colours of flowers catch the attention of insects(昆虫), which then carry their pollen(花粉) from one flower to another. Bees can see colours we cannot, and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.
Animals also use colour for their own need. They protect themselves with different colours so as not to be seen by predators. The snowshoe hare for example, a type of wild rabbit, changes colour with seasons for this reason. During summer it is brown, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use colour as a warning to make predators stay away. Bright colours such as yellow and red are often used in this way. Nature, however, is very clever, and predators also use colours to attract(吸引) the animals they feed on.
So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colours in the natural world. Some uses of colour in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure, colour not only makes our planet beautiful but it is also necessary for our planet to live on.
( ) 7. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that is/are the cause that makes human skin
change colour.
A. feelings B. pigments
C. blood D. sunshine
( ) 8. According to Paragraph 3, plants can use to attract insects.
A. leaves B. fruits
C. pollen D. colour
( )9. The underlined word "predators" in Paragraph 4 refers to animals which_________.
A. hide in secret places B. kill other animals for food
C. change colour with the sun D. protect themselves from danger
( )10. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To describe animals' ways of life.
B. To encourage us to study colour in nature.
C. To introduce the uses of colours for life on the Earth.
D. To explain the importance of protecting our planet.

What to Do During an Earthquake
As we all know, an earthquake is a kind of terrible disaster. So what should we do when an earthquake comes
As soon as an earthquake starts, students who are in the classroom should get under the desks immediately and wait until the teacher tells them it is safe to come out. However, for those who are at home, get immediately under the table in the living room or kitchen. Don't go anywhere near the window and don't go out onto the balcony. If you are in the street when an earthquake happens, do not stand near buildings, fences or walls. Move away as quickly as possible and try to find a large open place to wait in. What's more, standing under trees could also be dangerous.
