Staying-at-home proves to be effective in slowing the spread of the virus, but loneliness can be tough for
many. Luckily, in the age of social media, we are never truly alone. And with the extra time spent indoors, artists
are stepping up to help us all with the following clubs.

Let’s shine some light during this trying time and encourage social distancing! I’m starting this tomorrow

Because of COVID-19, in many places, large gatherings of people aren’t allowed. In some areas, the rules are
more strict, and people aren't allowed to leave their homes unless going out is ly necessary.
These steps are very important for slowing the disease down. By doing this, governments can make sure
doctors and hospitals are better able to deal with all the sick people, and that fewer people suffer in all. Usually,
it's called “flattening the curve”.
But if no one can go out, that means businesses which depend on visitors struggle. Many singers, bands, and
other musicians would normally be giving concerts now. Instead, they have to find new ways to share their music
and connect with their audiences. The Metropolitan Opera in New York has canceled(取消) its season, but it is
showing a special live stream of a different opera each day on its website. Other opera companies have made
similar moves. Several theater companies are either offering recorded versions of their plays online or posting
videos of their actors performing.
Nick Green wrote a musical play that was canceled because of the virus. He set up a website with links that
allow people to enjoy the work of artists around the world who have had their projects canceled. He called his
project the Social Distancing Festival. He sad it was a time when he should be doing something new, rather than
feeling disappointed.
Even TV shows have to find new ways to film their shows. Some late night TV shows have continued, but
without audiences. Others are showing reruns.
While their shows are on pause, some TV stars like Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon have been filming short
videos at home. Mr. O’ Brien plans to bring his show back on the air soon by filming with his own phone and
talking with guests over the Internet.
4. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Keeping patients staying at home anytime. B. Speed up the spread of disease.
C. Stopping people from often gathering up. D. Slowing down the spread of the disease.
5. What are opera companies’ new ways? A. Stopping sharing music with audience. B. Providing live stream services.
C. Trying to attract live audiences. D. Sharing their operas with each other
6. What did the cancellation of Nick Green's play bring him?
A. Disappointment. B. Annoyance . C. Creativity. D. Anxiety.

I truly thought thatI might die that day. Had I not seen three bears and a few wolves over the last couple of
days near the road, I might have just lain down and called it quits. What in the world was I thinking, dragging my
bike up to Yellowstone and thinking I could ride from West Yellowstone to Old Faithful in the snow? No less!
I had planned this trip for more than two months, and I wasn't about to give up so easily. The first few miles
were beautiful. Ten miles in, I started sucking wind. Fifteen miles and my legs felt like they were made of lead. By
twenty miles, my lungs were burning and felt like there was nothing left in the tank. That was when I turned
around and saw my husband and three children cheering me on in the van behind me. I knew I couldn't quit

I started working with my hands at a young age. The youngest of five brothers, I took on the role as a
“maintenance (维修) man” at an early age for our family’s small grocery store. Often my dad wouldn’t give me a
clear idea of how something shouldbe done, so I just had to figure it out by researching or through trial and error.
Fast forward to 2016 and those problem-solving skills would become the focus of Tippecanoe High School’s
Homebuilding class. I knew I wanted to teach the students skills that went beyond just being able to hammer nails
or cut pieces of two-by-fours. The problem was that we didn’t have the resources at the time to do much else.
The idea of attracting some type of funding seemed very important. Designing, building and selling a tiny house on

Best Places to Visit in July

Most travelers prefer to visit Norway's famous fjords (峡湾) in July because Norway has about 23 hours of
daylight, giving travelers lots of time to take in the spectacular views of blue water, glaciers and mountains. July is
also whenNorway's weather is at its warmest, about18℃, so travelers might include a light sweater in their
luggage.

Getting your kid to bed at night is seriously one of the most challenging things you'll ever have to do. Most
kids are just so full of energy that they'll tire you out before they're halfway through their store of energy. An easy
thing to calm down your child to get into bed is giving in and allowing some iPad screen time. However, it's really
not a great idea, just like you thought.
Researchers at theArizonaStateUniversityconducted a study with 547 kids between the ages of 7 to 9. Their
parents tracked how much screen time the kids were allowed along with their sleep patterns. The study found
that kids who did not engage in screen time before bed slept for 23 more minutes every week and also went to

my head. That's where the International Space Station orbits the earth, with six astronauts living and working on
board, for months at a time.
How do they sleep? They spend the night floating in a sleeping bag inside a small cubicle (小隔间) on the
ceiling. American astronaut Sunita Williams explains, “It's like a little phone booth, but it's pretty comfortable and
it doesn't matter if I turn overand sleep upside down. I don't have any sensation (感觉) in my head that tells me
I'm upside down.”

Try one of these amazing destinations on your next vacation.
Mallorca
On the popular Spanish island of Mallorca, farmhouse inns focus more on providing isolation and quietness
than offering hands-on farming experiences. With millions of visitors staying on the beaches of Mallorca and the
other Balearic Islands each summer, a little bit of isolation is a good thing for aloneness-seeking travelers. Mainly
located in the hills of inland Mallorca, these inns range from rustic century-old farmhouses to luxury(奢侈的) villas
with spas and swimming pools.
Hawaii
People who don't want to dig out their passport but still want their farm adventure can head to the island of
Hawaii. The 50th state talks much about the well-developed farm tourism industry that can hold people with
