"Who loves pizza " is a question you almost never have to ask an American. A better question might be "Who doesn't love pizza " Now, there is a place for all pizza lovers to gather: the Museum of Pizza. It can be found in America's pizza capital — New York City.
A company called Nameless Network came up with the idea for the museum, known as "MoPi" for short. "It's often the case that the simplest ideas are the best. And we want to use pizza's special attractiveness to get people looking at art and hearing about history in a different way," said Alexandra Serio, chief content officer at Nameless Network.
Located on the street level of Brooklyn's William Vale Hotel, the museum is a large, one-floor space that houses all kinds of art, from huge photographs to large sculptures(雕像). More than 6, 000 people toured the museum when it opened. So far, the museum has had lots of visitors. Visitors seem to love MoPi's bright colors, which make it perfect for taking selfies(自拍照) and other photographs for social media.
Lydia Melendez, a self-described "pizza enthusiast", bought her ticket in April. For her, the experience was worth the wait. "I thought it was going to be kind of boring," she said. She imagined walking in and finding books on how to make pizza. But she was very pleased when her actual experience was different from what she had imagined.
While pizza may be the hook that draws those interested in the museum, the focus of MoPi is to expose people to the fine art world.

答案:
Dear Anderson,
From TV I know there are still novel coronavirus cases reported in New York and some people have even been killed as a result. I'm so worried about you. So I am writing to get some information about you. Are you all right Are there any novel coronavirus cases in your school Are you still afraid of this widespread disease
To stay away from the disease, I strongly suggest you do the following things. Firstly, you'd better stay at home as much as possible and not go to places where there are many people. Then it is a good idea to wash your hands more often to keep them clean. Besides, open the window to let in more fresh air. Last but not least, eat more fruit and vegetables to keep yourself fit and strong.
So far the disease has been controlled in our country. Do be at ease! Take care and you'll be OK.
Yours,
Li Hua
