“Coronavirus, Social Distancing and Self-Quarantine
Now that the new coronavirus and COVID-19, the illness it causes, are spreading among communities in the United States and other countries, phrases such as ‘social distancing’, ‘self-quarantine’ and ‘flattening the curve’ are showing up in the media.
What is ‘flattening the curve’?
Flattening the curve refers to using protective practices to slow the rate of COVID-19 infection so hospitals have room, supplies and doctors for all of the patients who need care.
A large number of people becoming very sick over the course of a few days could overwhelm a hospital or care facility. Too many people becoming severely ill with COVID-19 at roughly the same time could result in a shortage of hospital beds, equipment or doctors.
On a graph, a sudden surge in patients over a short time could be represented as a tall, narrow curve.
On the other hand, if that same large number of patients arrived at the hospital at a slower rate, for example, over the course of several weeks, the line of the graph would look like a longer, flatter curve.
In this situation, fewer patients would arrive at the hospital each day. There would be a better chance of the hospital being able to keep up with adequate supplies, beds and health care providers to care for them.”

TEXT VI
Why are animals important to human beings?
There are a number of reasons why animals are important to human beings. The main
reason is that animals benefit us personally, socially and economically.
Since the time of our cavemen ancestors, there have been interactions between humans and
animals. Animals can be our friends, companions, protectors, benefactors and comforters.
Research studies indicate that people who own pets and have close bond with them have
higher self-esteem. They are also generally happier and healthier. There are many reported
cases in which pets protected their owners and family members. In the United States, a pet
dog alerted its owners that their babysitter was abusive. A couple who hired a babysitter to
take care of their baby noticed that their pet dog was aggressive to the babysitter. Upon
investigation, they discovered that their child was abused by the babysitter.
Animals provide many other benefits to humans. Insulin, a hormone in our body which
controls the amount of sugar absorbed by our blood, could not be artificially produced
previously. It had to be derived from cows and pigs. Nowadays, even though animal
insulin has largely been replaced by artificial human insulin, the former is still available on
prescription. Trained guide dogs are available to serve as loyal companions and ‘pairs of
eyes’ for the blind. In the past, hunters took along hunting dogs to track, sniff out and catch
wild game. When night fell, the canines were the hunters’ companions and protectors. In
rehabilitation centers, animals are used to help the sick recover. For instance, petting a
pony helps to lift a sick child’s spirit.
Throughout history, animals have helped humans. We use animals to work for us. In the
agricultural sector, oxen pull ploughs before seeds are planted in the soil. We use horses
for transportation purposes. They pull carriages and covered wagons for us. Even though
oxen and horses are rarely used for farming and travelling purposes respectively today, the
horses are still being used for riding and racing. They are also used to participate in
contests in order to win awards. Farmers depend on animals such as cattle, poultry, sheep,
goats, among others, for their horses are rarely used for farming and travelling purposes
respectively today, the horses are still being used for riding and racing. They sell the
animals’ meat, milk and eggs to earn money. In the fishing industry, although the use of
modern equipment and technology have replaced the use of animals to catch fish,
fishermen in some parts of the world still use animals like dolphins, otters and cormorants
for the purpose.
Another indirectly way in which animals help us is that they assist in the reproduction of a
variety of fruit and vegetable crops, which are an important part of our healthy diet.
Without animals to help disperse seeds and pollinate plants, many of them would have
become extinct.
In conclusion, animals are important to human beings because they benefit us socially,
personally as well as economically. Since they are of great benefit to us, we should treat
them well.

Organ Donation and Transplant
At this moment, more than 113,000 people in the U.S. are waiting for an organ.
One more person is added to the national waiting list every 12 minutes.
Each of these people is in desperate need of a kidney, liver, heart, or other organ.
More than 6,500 people a year -- about 20 a day -- die before that organ ever
becomes available.
Organ donors are always in short supply. There are far more people in need of a
transplant than there are people willing to donate an organ.
Most of the organs that are available come from deceased donors. When you fill
out an organ donor card with your driver's license, you're agreeing to donate all or
some of your organs if you die.
A smaller number of organs come from healthy people. More than 6,000
transplants from living donors are performed each year.
You might have wondered about donating an organ -- either to a friend or relative
who needs an organ right now, or by filling out an organ donor card.
Just about anyone, at any age, can become an organ donor. Anyone younger than
age18 needs to have the consent of a parent or guardian.
For organ donation after death, a medical assessment will be done to determine what
organs can be donated. Certain conditions, such as having HIV, actively
spreading cancer, or severe infection would exclude organ donation.
Having a serious condition like cancer, HIV, diabetes, kidney disease, or heart
disease can prevent you from donating as a living donor.

TEXT I
The time to embrace change in education is right now! In fact, it’s long overdue.
Did you know that the model for modern-day public education was created by the
need for on-time mechanical workers during the industrial revolution? That was
certainly a technological disruption, but it happened 250 years ago. It’s what we
call the front-lead method, and it’s not the best model for addressing the learning
needs of many students: divergent thinkers, neurodiverse minds, creatives,
scientists, and the list goes on. Which brings us to our next point: it’s time for the
next wave of disruption. Luckily for us, it’s here. And it’s been here since 1989,
when Tim Berners-Lee — a British scientist from CERT — invented the World
Wide Web. We know, you use the internet every day, and it’s great, but maybe
you’re skeptical that it can revolutionize education. Well, if you didn’t know, it
already is. A large body of evidence-based, peer reviewed work points to the web
as one of the central hubs for positive educational change today. It’s our
connection to others, our access to a world of educational resources, it’s a format
that works for many learners, it’s at the heart of countless services (that don’t work
in an unconnected world), and it’s driving access to education.

Answer the question according to the text
bellow
THE CREATIVE BRAIN IS WIRED
DIFFERENTLY
Scientists studying brain scans of people who were
asked to come up with inventive uses for everyday
objects found a specific pattern of connectivity that
correlated with the most creative responses.
Researchers were then able to use that pattern to
predict how creative other people's responses would
be based on their connections in this network. The
study is described in a January 15 (2018) paper
published in the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences.
"What this shows is that the creative brain is wired
differently," said Roger Beaty, a Post-Doctoral
Fellow in Psychology and the first author of the
study. "People who are more creative can
simultaneously engage brain networks that don't
typically work together. We also used predictive
modeling to show we could predict, with some
degree of accuracy, how creative people's ideas
were (based on brain scans) that had already been
published." Beaty and colleagues reanalyzed brain
data from previous studies and found that, by simply
measuring the strength of connections in these
peoples' brain networks, they could estimate how
original their ideas would be.
While the data showed that regions across the brain
were involved in creative thought, Beaty said the
evidence pointed to three subnetworks -- the default
mode network, the salience network and the
executive control network -- that appear to play key
roles in creative thought.
The default mode network, he said, is involved in
memory and mental simulation, so the theory is that
it plays an important role in processes like mindwandering, imagination, and spontaneous thinking.
"In terms of creativity, we think that's important for
brainstorming," Beaty said. "But you're not always
going to stumble onto the most creative idea that
way, because you might be drawn to something
unoriginal from memory, so that's when these other
networks come online."
The salience network, he said, detects important
information, both in the environment and internally.
When it comes to creativity, researchers believe it
may be responsible for sorting through the ideas that
emerge from the default mode network.
Lastly, Beaty said, the executive control network
works to help people keep their focus on useful
ideas while discarding those that aren't working.
"It's the synchrony between these systems that
seems to be important for creativity," Beaty said.
"People who think more flexibly and come up with
more creative ideas are better able to engage these
networks that don't typically work together and
bring these systems online."
To identify the brain network involved in creativity,
Beaty and colleagues recruited a total of 163
volunteers, and used functional magnetic resonance
imaging (FMRI) technology to scan their brains as
they tried to conceive of creative ideas for everyday
objects, like a brick or a knife or a rope.
The team then trained "raters" to review the
responses from participants and evaluate how
creative their ideas were.
"Creativity is typically defined as the ability to come
up with new and useful ideas," Beaty said. "We
correlated the connectivity strength in this network while they were thinking creatively with the quality
of their responses."
Based on the results of that test, Beaty and
colleagues developed a predictive model and tested
against brain scan data collected for earlier studies
on creativity.
"We used already-published data. we found that
based on how strong the connections are in this
network, we could guess pretty accurately how
creative you're going to be on a task," Beaty said.
Ultimately, Beaty said he hopes the study dispels
some myths about creativity and where it comes
from.
"One thing I hope this study does is dispel the myth
of left versus right brain in creative thinking," he
said. "This is a whole-brain endeavor."
It's also not clear that this can't be modified with
some kind of training. "It's not something where you
have it or you don't," he added. "Creativity is
complex, and we're only scratching the surface here,
so there's much more work that's needed."

GEORGE FLOYD, FROM ‘I WANT TO TOUCH THE WORLD’ TO ‘I CAN’T BREATHE’
Mr. Floyd had big plans for life nearly 30 years ago. His death in police custody is powering a movement against police brutality and racial injustice.
HOUSTON — It was the last day of 11th grade at Jack Yates High School in Houston, nearly three decades ago. A group of close friends, on their way home, were contemplating what senior year and beyond would bring. They were black teenagers on the precipice of manhood. What, they asked one another, did they want to do with their lives?
“George turned to me and said, ‘I want to touch the world,’” said Jonathan Veal, 45, recalling the aspiration of one of the young men — a tall, gregarious star athlete named George Floyd whom he had met in the school cafeteria on the first day of sixth grade. To their 17-year-old minds, touching the world maybe meant the N.B.A. or the N.F.L.
“It was one of the first moments I remembered after learning what happened to him,” Mr. Veal said. “He could not have imagined that this is the tragic way people would know his name.”
The world now knows George Perry Floyd Jr. through his final harrowing moments, as he begged for air, his face wedged for nearly nine minutes between a city street and a police officer’s knee.

An interview with Paolo Kwan, 20, from Hong Kong, who is improving his English while studying Business Administration at Sierra College in northern California.
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO STUDY IN THE USA?
It provides a nice education in a beautiful country. When I
was younger I used to watch American movies and I
wanted to visit the United States. They always talked about
the American dream, and I wanted to come and see it.
HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR INTENSIVE ENGLISH PROGRAM?
Sierra College is one of the biggest community colleges in northern California. It is in a quiet location but has a beautiful campus.
The college has a good business program. I can study for two years at Sierra College and then two years at my transfer school to earn my degree.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST?
I also enjoy the quality of the teaching at the college. There is a writing center where I can go at any time. The teachers can make suggestions to improve my essay, regarding grammar and my vocabulary. At the Math Center, they can explain in detail the problems.
WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST?
I miss the food and also my family.
WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST SURPRISE?
I was surprised by the cultural difference. The taste and style of food is very different. The amount of food is a lot larger. A small portion in the USA is a large portion in Hong Kong. When people from America find out that I am from another country they ask a lot of questions. They are very interested in you and finding out about Hong Kong.
... YOUR BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT?
I have not had any since I came here.
HOW HAVE YOU HANDLED:
... LANGUAGE DIFFERENCES?
It is important not to be shy, as that does not help you when you are trying to improve your language. I make sure that I study, practice and speak as often as I can—that is the only way to improve. ...
FINANCES?
I am being supported by my family.
... ADJUSTING TO A DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM?
The American system is much more open. In Hong Kong you just learn what the teacher writes on the board. In America, you discuss the issues and focus more on ideas
WHAT ARE YOUR ACTIVITIES?
I am interested in traveling around the USA. I have been to San Francisco, which you can reach by train from Sierra College. In my free time I go out with friends.
