21、 Children have been thought to be largely spared from the worst of the new coronavirus, but doctors in the U. K. are now warning of a possible connection between CO VID-19 and an unusual inflammatory(发炎性的)syndrome(综合症)in children. However, experts stress that serious illness related to CO VID-19 in children is still very rare overall.
The warning came over the weekend, when the National Health Service (NHS) England issued an alarm informing doctors of a small but growing number of cases of "multisystem inflammatory" disease in children that required intensive care, according to the U. K. Paediatric Intensive Care Society. Some of these children have tested positive for COVID-19, although others have not.
Some of the symptoms in the U. K. cases included fevers, severe pain and skin rashes(皮疹),along with markers of severe inflammation in the blood, The Guardian reported. Some of these children have also needed treatment for heart inflammation. So far, the inflammatory syndrome appears rare-only about a dozen children in the U. K. have been reported to have the syndrome, according to The Guardian, Similar cases have also been reported in Spain and Italy, according to CNN. And in the United States, doctors at Stanford University recently published a case report in the journal Pediatrics describing a 6-month-old infant who was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease and COVID-19.
However, it’s still too early to say that COVID-19 is behind this inflammatory syndrome in children, Gidengil said. More data will be needed to show this. Indeed, the NHS alert noted the possibility that another, yet-to-be-identified pagothen is associated with the inflammatory syndrome. Still, “it’s great that they’re raising an alarm about this so people can be aware," Gidengil said. Although this news might sound worrisome to parents, reports of serious COVID-19 complications remain uncommon in children. "It’s really important to just keep in mind that it’s still really rare for kids to have complications from CO VID at this point," Gidengil added.
【1】What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.Children are free from the COVID-19.
B.COVID-19 has no effect on children,

【2】Why did NHS England issue the alarm over the weekend?
A.To fight against COVID-19 for children.
B.To require doctors take good care of children.
C.To try to seek for a positive choice to treat children.
D.To inform doctors of the possible relationship between the syndrome and COVID-19.
【3】What can the symptoms contain?
A.Cough, fevers and breast pain.
B.Fevers, severe pain and skin rashes.

22、THE TIME MACHINE
It was at ten o’clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last check, and sat myself in the leather seat. I pushed the starting lever (操纵杆) on the main panel forwards an inch then immediately backwards again. Looking around, I saw my laboratory exactly as before. Had anything happened? I thought my mind had tricked me. Then I saw the clock. A moment before, it was a minute or so past ten; now it nearly half past three!
I drew a breath, gripped(紧握) the lever and pushed it forwards. The laboratory went hazy around me. My niece came in to fetch something, maybe her handkerchief, apparently without seeing me. It probably took her a minute, but to me she moved like a rocket! I pushed the lever further. Night came as if a lamp was being turned out, and in another moment came the day. Tomorrow night came, then skipped to day, again and again, faster and faster still.
It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling. It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road. As my pace grew faster, the walls of the laboratory fell away, and I was left in the open air. The sun and moon looked as if they were being thrown across the sky, but soon there was division between night and day. Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of smoke; they grew, spread, and died in moments. I saw huge buildings rise up, then disappear like in a dream. The whole surface of the earth was being changed, melting and flowing before my eyes. I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute.
I had a strong urge to look at the random things that were being flashed before my eyes! I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times. So long as I travelled at maximum speed, it didn't matter. But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb! Like an impatient fool, I pulled the lever backwards hard. With a sudden jolt, the Time Machine was flipped on its side, and I was thrown through the air.
I was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound of thunder. I was sitting in the rain in some mud next to the machine. “A fine welcome,” I said, “for a man who has travelled thousands of years to be here!”
(Adapted from the novel The Time Machine written by H.G.Wells, a novelist famous for the science fiction)

23、 Here on Earth where most of us live, we spend about a third of everyday lying down sleeping and two-thirds standing or sitting in an upright position.
That's not really how it goes in space when people are weightless and the zero gravity environment causes more liquid to shift to the head. Faces get swollen, legs lose volume and appear to be smaller. Many astronauts have complained of eye and back problems after coming back down to Earth and its gravity.
And now scientists say they have discovered some new risks with long-term space flight. A study published recently in JAMA Network Open, a medical journal, examined 11 healthy astronauts who had been on the International Space Station for six months. Eight of them had unusual characteristics observed in their blood. For instance, six of the astronauts had reverse (反向的)blood flow from their heads.
The lead author of the study says he doesn't know if that's actually harmful. The blood is still leaving the head from other pathways, so flowing backwards through a jugular vein(颈静脉) may not be dangerous. But he says it does show a change in how blood moves through the body while in space.
Another issue the study found was blood clots (凝块). One astronaut had one. Another showed signs of a partial blood clot. That is potentially harmful as the clots can block the flow of blood to the lungs. The astronaut who had one was treated for the rest of the spaceflight and made it home safely.
What does all this mean? Well, one researcher says these issues have probably been oc- curring since humans first went into space and that they would likely resolve themselves when astronauts came back down to Earth. Knowing about them now gives doctors something else to monitor when people leave our atmosphere.
【1】What causes the physical problems for astronauts?
A.Sleeping for a long time.
B.The zero gravity environment.
C.Staying in the spaceship.
D.The shift in their bodies.
【2】How many issues did the study newly find?

B.Three.
C.Two.
D.One.
【3】What can we know about the blood clot?
A.It is a common problem.
B.It is a new kind of disease.
C.It is a threat to people's health.
D.It was first found by astronauts.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A.Doctors have a new task for astronauts
B.Zero gravity stops astronauts flying in space
C.It's dangerous for astronauts to fly into space
D.New risks are found in long-term space flight
