The continuous increase in the number of CO VID-19 cases worldwide has had a deep and broad effect on how we live and interact with one another, resulting in many changes that are

likely to be long-lasting.

For example, to reduce contact during C0VU-19, shaking hands, a standard style of greeting used by officials and businessmen has been replaced. In the US, the country hardest- hit by the outbreak, with over 36 million confirmed cases of C0VID-19 and more than 610, 000 deaths > the top health official said such social gatherings should end, even when CO VID- 19 is over. Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Dis­eases , told The Wall Street Journal , "I don't think we should ever shake hands ever again, to

be honest with you. " Neel Gandhi, a professor at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, told ESPN, a US sports broadcaster» "When we talk about transmission, the hands are the place that I focus on the most. "

If such advice from health experts is followed, it will produce a big shift in human behavior. However, some people are finding alternative ways to greet one another at a time when direct contact is disapproved of  In South Korea, bowing deeply has become popular. In Aus­tralia? officials have suggested that people pat each other on the back instead of shaking hands.

Handshakes are just one form of contact that has largely ended during COVID-19, along with hugging and high-fives. As many people worldwide rebuild their social lives, experts are  predicting that some degree of social contact will disappear for good.

Chen Xuefeng,  deputy director o£ the Institute of Psychology at the Chinese Academy of

Sciences, said, “In the post-COVID-l9 era, people are likely to behave more discreetly for a while. They will pay more attention to themselves, such as caring for their health, spending more time alone, moving offline activities online, socializing less and saving more. " Chen add- ed, “This new way of life means that some industries where old habits are deep-rooted will face challenges in upgrading.

28. What does Anthony Fauci suggest doing in the face of CO VID-19?

A. Avoiding handshakes.    B. Ending social gatherings,

C Moving offline activities online.   D. Using a standard style of greeting.

29. How does the author show the big change in human behavior in paragraph 3?

A. By example, B. By data. C. By experiment.  D. By imagination.

30. What does the word discreetly in the last paragraph probably mean?

A. Confidently, B. Carefully. C. Technically, D. Roughly.

31. What is the text mainly about?

A. Old unnecessary habits worldwide.

C. The disasters in the post-COVID-19 era.

D. The social contact changes caused by COVID-19,

D

A new study suggests lightning strikes that hit Earth after its formation may have un­locked a necessary chemical element to support the beginning of life. Researchers say the light­ning may have supplied enough phosphorus （磷）to Earth during the first billion years after the plan­et was formed Scientists believe life started on Earth about 3. 5 to 4.5 billion years ago.

Phosphorus is an important element for the formation of life. It helps form cell structures and supports DNA, the material present in nearly all living organisms. But on early Earth, phosphorus is believed to have been first locked inside minerals that cannot dissolve in water.

Until now, it was widely believed that meteorites （陨石）that struck Earth were mainly responsible for the presence of "bioavailable" phosphorus. Some meteorites contain a phos­phorus mineral called “schreibersite^ a highly reactive mineral that can form organic molecules.

But when lightning strikes the ground, it can create glassy rocks called “fulgurites" by super-heating and sometimes vaporizing rocks on the surface. This process frees the phos­phorus locked inside. As a result, these “fulgurites” can contain "schreibersite", which can be dissolved in water, where life is thought to have formed.

The researchers say levels of phosphorus minerals caused by lightning strikes were found to have been higher about 3. 5 billion years ago. The researchers think this was about the age of the earliest-known fossils widely accepted to be those of microorganisms. Scientists believe the earliest bacteria-like organisms were formed in Earth's early waters. But there is a debate   over when this happened and whether it happened in warm and shallow waters or in deeper waters.

New research does not completely cancel the theory that meteorites could have been another source of life-giving phosphorus. Meteor （流星）strikes around the time of the appearance of life are far less than thought a decade ago.

32. Where did the phosphorus first exist on early Earth?

A. In meteors,   B. In water.  C. In lightning.       D. In minerals.

33, What happens just when lightning strikes the ground?

A. Meteorites are broken.   B. Phosphorus is released

C. Life is born.     D. Rocks become soil.

34. Which of the following do scientists disagree about according to paragraph 5? .

A. The number of lightning strikes.

B. The age of the earliest-known fossils.

C. The time of the disappearance of life on Earth,

D. The depth of the earliest life forms on Earth in water.

35. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Life Might Have Begun from Three Sources

B. Life Needs an Important Substance to Get Started

C. Lightning May Have Helped Life Develop on Earth

D. Scientists Have Discovered the Earliest Meteor Strike

Ask what is going on in the story as you read. 40    When you reach the end, ask how they feel about the story and what they like and dislike about it. Don't stop with books, either.
