Bats can carry and transmit more than 60 viruses that can infect humans， Live Science noted. They include the world’ s deadliest viruses，such as Ebola and HIV. Due to their strong immune systems (免疫系統(tǒng))，bats are able to host these viruses and not get sick. At the same time，the viruses keep developing inside the bats to create new variants (變體). These variants can then infect new hosts，such as other wild animals.

Pangolins (穿山甲)，for example，might be an intermediate host (中間宿主) for NCP，according to a recent study by Chinese scientists. This means that bats might have given the virus to pangolins，with pangolins then spreading it to humans.

Wild animals like snakes，hedgehogs (刺猬) and bamboo rats also carry various viruses. But since they live in the wild，there should be few chances for humans to come into contact with them and get infected—unless the animals are eaten or used to make animal products. When people hunt， buy and eat wild animals， they can introduce viruses to the rest of the population.

But this doesn’t mean that we should kill wild animals. Each species has a role in the eco-system (生態(tài)系統(tǒng)) and all of them are important in keeping a natural ecological balance. The lesson we can learn from disease outbreaks is to respect and protect animals and to live in harmony with them instead of hunting，killing，or eating them.

As the saying goes, “A hero is known in the time of misfortune(不幸)”. Zhong Nanshan is a hero like 【1】. He is a doctor in Guangdong, who saved many people’s lives in 2003.

In 2003, SARS broke out in Guangdong. Later, it spread across China and other parts of the world. Patients 【2】 a lot and got fevers. Hundreds of patients 【3】 died from the disease. Even many doctors and nurses got SARS when they treated patients. So everyone was afraid of it. But Zhong was brave enough 【4】 the disease. Zhong 【5】 days and nights finding the cause of the disease. And with his way of treating, many patients began to get better. Zhong 【6】 won people’s trust.

In early 2020, a disease called NCP hit Wuhan. It spread quickly. Around tens of thousands of Chinese people were infected(感染). Zhong, 84, led his 【7】 to Wuhan to fight the illness. Zhong’s team took many measures to cure the patients with NCP. He advised people to wear 【8】, wash hands frequently(頻繁地), stay at home and not to go to 【9】 places.

Zhong likes sports very much. When he was 67, he could still play basketball. Now at the age of 84, Zhong 【10】 treats patients in the hospital and teaches young doctors. “I am just a doctor.” Zhong says. But we think he is a hero and a fighter.

After people have been used to their new work situation. But what if your job was to control a multi-billion-dollar space rover (探測車) located on a planet nearly 200 million km away from Earth?

A team of NASA scientists is doing just that. In order to follow social distancing rules, these scientists have had to work from home. But they’ve still found ways to work together and take care of the complex (復(fù)雜的) tasks that are needed to keep the Curiosity rover working on Mars.

Their work-from-home setups (裝配) as seen in photos provided to CNBC and ScienceAlert, look much like home office setups. They use ordinary computers. But instead of working on spreadsheets (電子制表), these scientists are programming complex sequences (序列) of instructions that are then sent to the rover. These instructions allowed the rover to find a rock sample (樣本) in a location on Mars called “Edinburgh”.

Usually, the team’s 20 scientists work together by communicating through apps or video meetings. One scientist might have to follow 15 message channels (通道) at once.

NASA gave the scientists headsets (耳機(jī)) monitors and other equipment to allow them to do their jobs from home. However, the goggles (眼鏡) they usually use to analyze (分析) pictures from Mars could not be sent out. So they have to depend on red-and-blue glass lenses (鏡片) instead.

But difficulties like these have not been a problem for the scientists. In fact, getting used to changing situations is “classic, textbook NASA,” according to the head of science operations Carrie Bridge. “We’re presented with a problem and we find out how to make things work. Mars isn’t standing still for us; we’re still exploring,” she said.
