After all, who says you can’t spread a little joy and laughter while trying to keep people from spreading a virus? Here are some of the best ones we’ve seen so far.In Barcelona, Spain, a poster by Italian artist Salvatore Benintende shows Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa wearing a protective face mask and holding a mobile phone.Vietnamese singers Min and Erik produced a music video called “Jealous Coronavirus” to help inform the public on how to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The song starts by giving the background of the outbreak. Then it goes into the importance of preventing the spread of the diseaseand exactly how to do so. The lyrics are accompanied by cartoon images of dangerous green virus cells and people wearing face masks. Shortly after the song’s release, Quang Đăng, a Vietnamese dancer, picked up the song and designed a dance to it.In Singapore, content creators are using humorous skits to slow the spread of COVID-19. By exhibiting a panicky character that always makes mistakes and a calm one that behaves properly, the video addresses ways the public is incorrectly reacting to the virus, and then shows what they should be doing instead. The video was uploaded by a channel called “meWATCH”. The channel has uploaded at least four other videos about COVID-19 and how to prevent it, including a humorous step-by-step guide on how to properly wash your hands.It’s nice to see that even during such a troublesome time, people are still using their creativity and humor, not only to help out but also to provide a little amusement.24.

How does the author feel about these humorous ways?A. Confused. B. Happy. C. Angry. D. Disappointed.CAs we grow older,it can be easy to fall into the trap of feeling like your best days are behind you. Don’t be fooled! For certain skills,that is the case. But as each birthday rolls around, there’ s reason be excited,too,because you’re getting one year closer to your highest happiness, or math skills,or body satisfaction. Be happy!People hit different “peaks”throughout their lives. Your first one starts around second grade, when foreign language skills are most likely to take off. It’s a lot easier for kids to pick up new languages than it is for adults,so the ability to learn a new language alone peaks at age seven,or at least before puberty(青春期).According to a 2010 study, your ability to remember new names, however,peaks later,at age 22.Unfortunately, your ability to remember faces doesn’t happen at the same time as that skill. It’ll be another decade before you’re at your peak for that. People remember faces best around age 32.For the most part,these peak ages are the same regardless of gender, but the age at which you’ll earn your highest salary has a very large gender difference-- women will reach their peak salary at age 39, while men do so at age 48. yet both genders reach peak maths skills at age50.The following year, at51, is when people are best at understanding the emotions of others. Peak vocabulary occurs at age 69. Peak happiness with your body at 74,and last on the timeline is peak psychological well being,which is reportedly at age 82. There’s one quality that peaks twice in yourlife,and that’s happiness. A study found that that peaks at age 23 and again at age 69. Well, that’s something to look forward to!28. What is the best age for people to learn foreign languages?A. Age 7 B.Age 22 C. Age 32 D. Age 4229. What are women best at when they turn 50？A. Understanding people’s emotionsB. Feeling happy with their body.C. Getting the highest salary.D. Dealing with numbers.30. What do we know about age and happiness according to the text?A. People at age 69 are happiest.B. People peak at happiness twice in life.C. There is no connection between them.D. People are less happy when they get older. 31.What may be the best title for the text?A. The younger, the better?B. What is the best age for people?C. People of different ages think differently?D. These are the ages you peak at something.DUrban farming is the growing of crops and raising of animals within and around city boundaries. These crops or animals may be food. Some urban farmers can grow vegetables in their backyards, plastic containers or boxes. Others keep small animals on their rooftops or balconies . Other growing trends include plant factories that involve growing vegetables indoors.So can you be an urban farmer? Individuals, families and companies practice one or more types of urban farming systems. The reasons range from growing food for one’s family to large commercial urban farms producing food for money. Here are some known types of urban farming.Institutional gardens are carried out by private and public institutes like schools and hospitals. The method of farming may be intensive on large areas of land or simplified farming on a small piece of land to introduce young learners to modern farming. Students farm this way for examinations or learning in ability-based training.Vertical farming is also referred to as soil-less farming. It is practiced indoors and focuses on controlling the light and nutrient supply to grow plants and sometimes fish.Zero-acreage farming does not use land to grow food. It uses various forms and technologies to help one grow crops on rooftops, balconies, windows or in containers.Anyone with space whether rented or owned can practice urban agriculture. You can produce enough food for your family and sell the surplus for extra income. We will explore common challenges and suggest practical solutions in urban farming. We also give guidelines on efficient production and techniques to make sure you get the most benefits. And common crops you can grow and animals you can raise are covered later in a series of articles.32. Why do some families develop urban farming?A. To follow the trend. B.
