26、Americans are now allowed to get a COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗). But the process in America is not going as smoothly as some had hoped. Many people are still facing a wait for their first shot. Moreover, the vaccines aren't available to kids under 16 yet. That's because scientists have only tested if the vaccine works in adults.
The good news is that there are two companies, Moderna and Pfizer, making COVID-19 vaccines. They are now running clinical trials (临床实验)to test their vaccines in teens and kids. Volunteers are given a treatment plan and then evaluated after.
Clinical trials are designed with safety in mind and usually done in adults first. They work like this: volunteers get placed into one of two groups. One group receives the vaccine. The other group gets a placebo. This is a shot given in the same way as the vaccine but with no effect. Scientists can compare the effects of the real vaccine against the placebo to see if the vaccine works. Researchers want to know everything that a person experiences when they get the shot, so they can detect any harmful effects. If anything did happen, the trial would stop immediately.
Some teens are eager to volunteer because they want to help people. Maybe you're the right age to be part of a clinical trial for the COVID-19 vaccine. Why not volunteer For A Vaccine Trial? Interested kids should read about the trials because every trial has risks. They should talk to their doctor and weigh the benefits and risks. Every vaccine has rare side effects in a few patients.

27、Dr Dian Fossey, one of the world’s leading women scientists, had a remarkable career. The work she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Africa—has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady (平稳的) increase of this most endangered great apes.
Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963. Three years later, she returned to Africa to begin a long term study of the mountain gorillas. She set up camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967. She established her “Karisoke” Research Centre camp on September 24,1967.
Fossey’s aims were to study gorilla ecology(生态学) and social organization. She found that in order to achieve this, she needed to recognize individual gorillas, which required that the gorillas get used to her presence(出现). By copying gorillas’ behaviour and sounds, Fossey began to gain their trust, and in 1970 an adult male gorilla she had named “Peanuts” reached out to touch her hand.
Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas’ trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour. Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.
In 1977, one of Fossey’s favorite gorillas, Digit, was killed by poachers and she established the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.
On December 26, 1985, Fossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke. Her body was discovered near the research centre. Most probably? Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she’d fought against. On her tombstone (墓碑): “No one loved gorillas more...”
In 1988, the life and the work of Fossey were made into a movie based on her book.

【2】The underlined word “poachers” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to people who .

A. Fossey was the person who loved gorillas most
B. after Fossey died, no one loved gorillas

28、4 Things that Can Help to Boost Your Immune System During the Coronavirus Outbreak
There is an exception to the general rule that supplements (补充剂) won’ t really help prevent illness, and that’ s vitamin D. Research has shown that the immune system needs vitamin D to fight off viruses-while it won’t protect you from getting the virus. It could reduce the severity of the illness and help make recovery easier. 【1】. It’s also found in some foods, including fatty fish like salmon and in small amounts in beef liver, eggs, cheese, and mushrooms.
【2】While you’ re asleep, your body uses that time to do recovery and repair of essential functions, including your immune system. Just one night of poor sleep can reduce your immune cells by as much as 70%, research shows.
Exercise can keep your body functioning well, since research shows that it reduces inflammation (炎症) and supports infection-fighting cells. 【3】 Body movements like burpees, lunges, push-ups and more can give you a quick full-body workout with no equipment.
Stress can also make a big difference for your immune system, particularly when there are alarming or uncertain events happening in the world around you. Yes, this means managing fears — good strategies include taking breaks from social media and relying on trustworthy media sources for information. 【4】
There are many ways to get relaxed. 【5】 Maybe that’s taking a walk outside, curling up with a favorite book, or taking time to reflect or practice yoga or another comforting habit each day.
