1、   As the world is trying hard to fight COVID-19, how do we protect ourselves from the virus? The most important thing is to keep in good health. So do you have good hygiene (卫生) habits? 1. As far as we know, people’s health is closely connected with their hygiene habits in their everyday life. Under the influence of COVID-19, health experts are reminding people to wash their hands properly.

2. Although some may fail to notice this daily habit, hand washing actually has a long history. More than 2,500 hundred years ago, Chinese people had to wash their hands before taking part in ceremonies (仪式) and follow some strict rules.

In the 19th century, 3. 医生们发现洗手对他们的病人有帮助。The habit quickly became common among doctors and nurses, and later the public.

4. Also, more attention should be paid to a healthy dining habit. In the West, it is more culturally proper to eat your own meals. However, people in the East are exactly the opposite. For them, eating a meal alone is very impolite during social meetings. Instead of eating alone, they like eating common dishes. 5. 这是一种表达他们友好和温暖的常见方式。Some even share their utensils (餐具), which is risky. According to the WHO, saliva (唾液) is quite easy to spread illnesses through air.

Developing good hygiene habits can help people stay healthy. So why not start by washing your hands often and eating alone?

25、Yuan Longping was a great scientist who was the first person to develop hybrid rice（杂交水稻）. His research greatly solved the problem of the food shortage in the world.

Yuan Longping started the research in 1964. He put forward the idea of hybrid rice, did experiments on the farm, and succeeded in 1973. The new technology was tested in many areas of South China in 1974, and then he continued to test it in other areas. China has become the first country that can produce hybrid rice. Yuan made it possible to grow hybrid rice in large amounts, and he was called “Father of Hybrid Rice”.

Besides being a respected scientist, he was also a romantic（浪漫）husband and a caring grandfather.

Yuan’s granddaughters remembered that when he traveled to Hong Kong, he wanted to buy his wife a new watch, but it was too expensive, so he bought a candy instead. When he was 90 years old, his family held a birthday party. Hundreds of people came to the party. There was a moving moment: Yuan cut the first piece of cake and immediately gave it to his wife. They also said that their grandfather paid much attention to their English and math studies. No matter how tired he was after work, he would still ask about their studies.

Yuan Longping loved playing the violin, swimming and driving. What’s more, he had a special habit-playing Mahjong（麻将）with friends for an hour every evening to train his brain. Just like common people, the scientist laughed when he won and didn’t hide his disappointment when he lost. When his requirement to build a research center was agreed to, he was very excited.

This is Yuan Longping: an ordinary person who made great achievements.
