21、After ruling the tennis world for almost five years,Roger Federer is adjusting to life at NO.2.But,like any king whose throne has been taken away,the Swiss star is already planning secretly bis return to power,beginning at this week's US Open.
The problem is,many experts think he will never do it.They blame everything from age and tough competition to his racket and psychology.
For years Federer,had enjoyed the view from the top.Competitors saw him as undefeated,and for the most part he was.However,before the 2008 season began,Federer had an illness that stole his strength and clearly affected his play on the court.Ever since,he has struggled to return to form,winning just two of his last 14 tournaments.
"Twenty-seven is an age when your body starts talking back to you."tennis great John McEnroe told the New York Times.
Pancho Sefura,another tennis great,noted that Federer is also facing a maturing crop of young talents."There are too many great players now,"he said,naming Britain's Andy Murray,21,and Latvia's Ernests Gulbis,20.
US magazine Sports Illustrated tennis columnist Jon Wertheim suggested that part of Federer's problem could be his insistence on using a small racket.He says that the smaller head demands ball control.But we see time and again that racket makers try to get players to use a certain stick-one they would like to market to consumers and it has a negative effect on the professional game.
Sports psychologist Jim Loehr told the Times that Federer is probably feeling "a sense of doubt"after being considered as undefeated for so long.If Federer is to recover his state of being undefeated,Loehr said he must overcome his doubt."Federer doesn't need fame and money.But he has to get better.He has to go t.o a whole new level.That's the only way he stays in the game,"he said.
As for beginning his first Grand Slam in ages as the NO.2 seed,Federer said it might be for the best."Five years almost,I was expected to win every tournament I entered,"he said,"so maybe Rafael Nadal now feels what I had to feel for a very long time.It will be interesting to see how he handles it."

22、 Many people wake up in the morning and watch their mobile phones first and then they watch their mobile phones last before they go to bed. Our mobile phones are never far away from us. Data show that we watch them every 12 minutes on average. Since we are bound to be inseparable from mobile phones, we should obey the relative “cell phone manners”. The following five things are best avoided.
● Talk on the phone at mealtimes
An absolute no-no for most (81%) of us. Yet half of us have been with others who've done it. And more than a quarter of young adults admit to it.
Even looking at the screen at the dinner table is not acceptable — for some. More than four in five people aged 55and over think it's unacceptable to check messages, compared with around half (46%) of 18 to 34-year-olds.
● Listen to loud music on public transport
Three-quarters (76%) of us object to watching videos and playing video games loudly on public transport, as well as listening to music, but it doesn't stop us doing it.
● Be on the phone when you should be listening
You’re at the cashiers but on the phone mid-conversation. Do you hang up, say a polite “hello” and pack away your bread and goods — or chat on regardless?
It's a source of frustration for many a shop worker, receptionist and waiter. One hotels checkout worker was so annoyed when a customer refused to end her call that she refused to serve her.
● Walk while looking at your phone
They are always getting their head down, eyes fixed on the screen — and they're right in your path. Twitter user @tiredhorizon has a public warning for them. Put away your phones in public buildings, hospitals and near reversing lorries.
● Play with devices while watching TV with others
Four 10 (41%) adults think is unacceptable to use a phone while seated with he family on the sofa in front of TV.
For the older generation (those over 55) it's more of an issue — 62% object to it — than for younger adults — only one in five are against it.

23、During the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide, misinformation has fueled the spread of fear. Some people might fail to tell facts from rumors (谣言),so improving the public’s health knowledge is a vital step to help people take the right protective measures and avoid unnecessary panic.
As the battle against the epidemic continues, some people may feel panic to some extent because they are not aware that there are effective prevention and protection measures they can take. So it is urgent that people’s public health awareness should be raised. The education authorities should strengthen science popularization, especially among teenagers. For example.primary and middle schools should emphasize scientific education, and they could invite medical professionals to teach students about the scientific protection measures they should adopt.
Governmental departments can carry out projects to popularize health knowledge and encourage people to participate in the improvement of the public scientific literacy, including in different townships, districts and communities.
Relevant science and technology institutions also have the responsibility to innovate measures and set up systems to carry out a health-awareness campaign to make more people aware of the benefits of scientific prevention and protection measures.
Since the improvement of public scientific literacy is of great significance and concern, medic and healthcare departments should learn the lessons of this epidemic and continue to build well-established and professional teams, particularly grassroots units that are devoted to promoting the public health literacy should be formed.
Science and healthcare institutions should pool their resources to meet the public’s knowledge needs. They should establish ways to spread the public’s health knowledge, diversify the channels for spreading scientific public health knowledge, and hatch effective policies to upgrade facilities to deal with emergencies, so as to ensure that it can swiftly respond to a public health emergency and provide authoritative information on the situation and the appropriate response.
Keeping the public informed of scientific public health knowledge in a timely manner will help prevent public panic and contribute to the prevention of public health crises.
