A special pet-care center in Shenzhen has been highly praised by people. It is China’s first pet-care center to take care of pets while their masters are in quarantine（隔离）because of COVID-19.
Because of COVID-19’s Omicron variants（奥密克戎变）, many people have been taken into quarantine, leaving their pets at home alone. Such a small pet-care center in fact is a big step for love, which shows the city’s care for people’s needs during pandemic（疫情）. It’s common that most pet owners see their pets as members of their family. Besides, pets are also people’s private things. So, taking good care of pets will show the government’s respect both to life and private things of people.
Shenzhen has set a good example. Some pets even received certificates（证书）of “Little heroes against COVID-19”. One of these certificates was awarded to Fu Zai, a British short-hair cat. He spent about 20 days at this special pet-care center. The certificate said: “Dear Fu Zai, in view of your excellent performance at the pet center, doing pretty well in eating, walking and other tasks, and successfully fighting against the pandemic, we have decided to award you the title Anti-pandemic Little Hero. This certificate is for you and we hope that you will grow up healthy and happy!”

Over the last five months, the COVID-19 pandemic has taken the world by storm. It has affected different countries and regions in different ways, from damaging their economies to creating new social orders. Here, we’ll take a look at a few of the most important events that have happened during the outbreak.
Italy shuts down
On March 10, the Italian government decided to put the whole country on lockdown (封锁) after the number of cases in the country started increasing too fast. The first cases were confirmed as early as January 31. In the following weeks, the number of confirmed cases (确诊病例) exploded, reaching over 10,000 by the time of the lockdown. The lockdown affected 16 million people across the country. Italy was one of the first of many countries that carried out lock downs to prevent the spread of the virus.
WHO declares pandemic
On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus officially declared COVID-19 as a global pandemic. This was due to a growing number of cases around the world. In his announcement, Ghebreyesus called on governments to slow down the spread of the virus by taking “immediate and urgent actions”. By this time, there were more than 20,000 cases in Europe, including 1,000 deaths, as well as 1,000 cases in the US.
Summer Olympics delayed
On March 24, President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach and Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo held a video conference in which they agreed that the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, which were planned to be held in Tokyo, would be put off until the following year for public safety.
The event has hardly been cancelled or delayed-usually only in times of war. However, the leaders agreed that the Olympic flame would remain in Tokyo until the games can start again in order to stand as a “light at the end of the tunnel”.
US hits over 1 million cases
On April 28, the US officially recorded over one million COVID-19 cases nationwide. This came just four days after it was announced that the virus had led to over 50,000 deaths across the country. The virus spread rapidly across the country, as the first case had been recorded three months earlier.
Despite this, many US states have announced that they will gradually relax lockdown requirements, which is against the advice of many medical workers. US President Donald Trump has been criticized by the press and members of the public for his government’s slow and ineffective response to the outbreak.

When a virus changes, it becomes a “variant(变种)”. The World Health Organization (WHO) names and grades COVID-19 variants for the problems they may cause. The Delta variant is now common around the world. Now, there’s a new variant and it’s causing new problems.
The variant, named Omicron(奥密克戎), was first found in South Africa on November 9th. Omicron can make people sick more easily. Our antibodies(抗体) are not so good at stopping it, reported Newsweek.
The WHO has warned that Omicron can put the world at “very high” risk and is likely to spread all over the world. Over the past weeks, countries including Belgium, the UK and Italy have also reported their first cases of the Omicron variant.
Will the current vaccines(疫苗) protect people against the new strain of virus? Although not much is known about the variant, many people who already recovered from COVID-19 can still catch Omicron, said the WHO. Vaccinations have already started in some parts of the world. However, the effects don’t meet the requirement. According to CGTV, vaccine makers are working to upgrade(升级) their COVID-19 vaccines against Omicron.
Governments around the world moved fast to keep out the new variant. On November 26th, the US brought out travel restrictions(限制) to eight African countries including South Africa and Zimbabwe.

This year, April 5 is Tomb Sweeping Day, a day when Chinese people remember family members and friends who have passed away. And this year will also include a national mourning (哀悼) period that offers people a chance to remember those who have lost their lives in the fight against the COVID-19.
Starting at 10 a.m. people across the country will observed (遵守) three minutes of mourning. Cars, trains and ships sound their horns (喇叭) and air defense warning sirens (防空警报) will go off. National flags will lower to half-mast (下半旗) across the country. Public recreational (娱乐) activities will be canceled across China.
“I will mourn in my heart,” said community worker Deng Linghao from Wuhan. “We who are alive must stay strong.”
National mourning periods are not commonly held. Only a few such mourning periods have been held since 2000, including one for the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan.
Besides being a time to remember the dead, many people also suggested that the national mourning period is a good time to teach students about the meaning of death.
It is believed that Chinese students don’t know much about the topic, as it is a taboo (禁忌) to discuss it in Chinese culture. According to a study from People’s Daily, about 90 percent of children who were born after 2010 said their parents had never discussed death with them.
But in Western countries, kids learn about death in a natural way. In the US, for example, if one of their older relatives has died, children will attend their funeral. Kids can also learn about death after one of their family pets dies. They might even learn about it from watching movies or TV shows.
“Facing the epidemic, each one of us feels that life is vulnerable (脆弱的),” Yuan Weixing, the headmaster of Shenzhen Xin’an Middle School, told The Paper. “The key is to respect and cherish (珍惜) life and keep living with a brave and positive attitude (态度).”
38．Why will the mourning period be held this year?
A．To teach students about death.
B．To take the place of sweeping tombs.
C．To remember family members and friends.

How did you learn the facts about COVID-19 and the coronavirus that caused it? You probably read newspaper articles, searched for information on the internet and listened to online lectures. These methods, however, may not work well for children younger than you.
Some medical researchers in Memphis, Tennessee, wanted to help these little children deal with the COVID-19 crisis (危机). They have designed a special coloring book.
Kristin Canavera is one of the researchers. “We have seen a lot of misinformation about COVID-19. People, especially children, are feeling worried,” she said. “We really wanted to do something for them, to correct the misunderstandings.”
At first, Canavera and her colleagues wanted to produce resources for parents to use when they talk to their children about COVID-19. Then, they decided to make them directly for children. Children often learn best through play, so coloring is a great way to help them understand the disease.
The ten-page book gives kids the “real facts” about COVID-19. It also offers ways for parents to have open and honest discussions with their children about their fears. The book is available in English, Spanish and Arabic (阿拉伯语). Canavera and her colleagues first printed 750 paper copies for children in local hospitals. Later, they put the book online so that it could reach more readers during this special period. People around the world can now download it for free.
