21、   People read books less often these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.

Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a lower price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.

Everything in today′s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.

Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.

Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don′t read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen(加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.

With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books.

24、Since the beginning of 2020, COVID-19 (新型冠状病毒) has spread across the world, just at the moment, many people around the world are suffering from the horrible disease.

So, what is such a terrible COVID-19? Let’s get to know some information about it. First, COVID-19 is a common cause of colds and other respiratory (呼吸的) infections (感染). It can infect humans and certain other mammals like tigers. In fact, COVID-19 gets its name because the virus is like the sharp spikes (尖) on the crown. It first exists (存在) in some wild animals. It can spread from one animal to another. For this time, the coronavirus (冠状病毒) in animals may change suddenly and it can easily spread to people. It has never been met before and we have no experience, so it is quite hard for doctors to cure it.

The symptoms (症状) of COVID-19 are similar to those when people get a flu. The patients have a fever, cough and bad headache. They feel tired and can’t breathe. Some also have muscle pain. So if you have such symptoms, you must pay more attention to yourself and see a doctor soon.

COVID-19 mainly passes by droplets (飞沫). So scientists suggest wearing masks, washing hands with soap and avoiding (避免) touching the eyes, nose, or mouth with hands. When coughing and sneezing, we should cover our nose and mouth with tissue. Also, we should stay away from people with flu — like symptoms. Everyone, please stay away from any public place which might risk infecting you.
