Many things can be shared these days, such as bikes, cars and chargers(充电宝). A “sharing bookstore” also came out last year.

Sanxiaokou Xinhua Bookstore, the world’s first sharing bookstore, opened on July 16 in Hefei, Anhui province, according to China News. It sells books as normal bookstores. But at the same time, it allows readers to take books home for free to read after paying a 99 yuan deposit(押金). They can borrow two books in 10 days by scanning a QR code(扫描二维码) on the book.

The bookstore is quite popular among the cily’s readers. By Aug 26, more than 100,000 books had been borrowed. The number of visitors to the bookstores has also grown by 50 percent. The bookstore is going to open nine more stores in other places of the city.

But some people question that these sharing bookstores are just like a library.

“Although the two both rent books, sharing bookstores have more kinds of books," Xu Xinwei, the store’s deputy manager(副店长),told China News. “We also renew(更新) our book selection more often than libraries.”

Archimedes and the golden crown

One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very__________ with it.

“It’s a nice crown, isn’t it?” he asked his men. Later, however, he began to doubt __________ it was a real golden crown. “Is it made completely of gold?” he wondered. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth.

“This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” thought Archimedes.

Archimedes was still thinking about this problem __________ he filled his bath with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over.

“That’s it!” shouted Archimedes. “I know __________ to solve the king’s problem!”

Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king. First, he __________ the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight.

Next, he put two pots into two big bowls and filled __________ pots with water. He put the gold into one pot, and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into __________ pot. This time, even more water ran into the bowl.

“Look at this,” said Archimedes to King Hiero. “A crown __________completely of gold displaces __________water than a crown made of gold and another metal. This crown displaced more water than gold of the same weight, so I’m certain that it is not __________ made of gold. ”

“The crown maker tricked me, didn’t he? What a bad man he is!” shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison.

用所给单词的适当形式填空

The fear of the novel coronavirus(新冠病毒) has turned into discrimination (歧视) against certain groups of people,1.(include) people from Wuhan, Chinese people or Asians in general. However, the outbreak of the disease can’t be an excuse to isolate these groups. What we should do is 2.(get) rid of (消除) discrimination and show sympathy (同情) instead.

Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), many people 3.(live) in fear. This is normal, as the disease is infectious (传染性的) and dangerous. However, some people turn pale at the mention of “people from Wuhan or Hubei province”, the center of the outbreak.

Ding Baixing, a doctor at Huashan Hospital in Shanghai, has seen this himself. He treated a suspected (疑似的) patient 4.(name)Chen Hui who traveled from Wuhan to Shanghai. Chen appeared desperate (绝望的) and avoided 5.(keep)in touch with other patients, as he worried that they would be afraid of him.

Chen is not alone. Chen Xue, an editor 6.(work) in Beijing, went to Chongli in Hebei for a ski trip on Jan 23. Though her temperature was fine and she hasn’t been to her hometown – Hubei province – since October last year, the hotel she was in told her that it 7.(will not) receive Hubei guests from the next day.

However, the real enemy is the virus – not the patients or people from Wuhan or Hubei province. Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong echoed this idea in a speech at the Chinese New Year dinner. “Even though the virus started in Wuhan, it doesn’t respect nationality or race (种族). It does not check your passport (护照) before it goes into your body. Anybody can be infected,” he said.

It is not the 8.(patient) fault that they have been infected. There is no reason to blame them. If patients didn’t go to the hospital for fear of discrimination, the virus 9.(spread) to more people. “Protecting them is just as important as protecting ourselves,” Ding said.

Poem that inspires

At the CCTV Spring Festival Gala (春节联欢晚会), six hosts read a poem to inspire people across the country. It called for greater respect for medical workers, as well as called on everyone to work together to fight the virus. One of the lines – “we isolate (隔离) the virus, but we don’t isolate love” – has been 10.(wide) posted online.
