Every year thousands of young people in England finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to university. Some young people go to other countries and work as volunteers (志愿者). Volunteers give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they do something helpful for the environment.

Pauline Jones, 18, lives in Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to university to study Chinese, but now she’s living in Belize. Pauline says, “I’m working with other people here to save the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is very polluted (污染), the coral dies. I’m helping to do research on the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about the problem before it’s too late.”

“I’m staying with a family here and I help do some housework. I don’t get any money, but that’s OK. I love my work here, and I’m learning a lot about the people of Belize—and myself!

When I finish my work, I want to stay here for another three months. I want to travel around Belize and Central America.”

“China is always well protected by the bravest of them” former (从前的) US secretary of state Henry Kissinger once wrote. Indeed, in the fight against the novel coronavirus, it is medical workers who are risking their lives on the frontlines of the epidemic (流行病).

Many doctors and nurses were infected (感染) during the earliest period of the epidemic because of knowing less about the virus, as well as shortage (短缺) of medical supplies (供应). Some of them were treated, got well and went back to work. Some of them unluckily lost their lives.

According to China’s National Health Commission, a total of 1,716 medical workers in China were infected with the new coronavirus as of Feb 11, while six passed away.

With the help of the central government, the working conditions for medical workers in the cities like Wuhan have been improved. They are confident that they will win the battle (战役) against the virus.

People know the dangers of fires. It’s good for a family to learn how to prepare for a fire. Here are some suggestions:

Make escape plans. They should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.

Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.

Practice for a fire. They do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:

① Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door. ② Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke rises. ③ What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll (打滚)! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket around you to keep air away from the fire that still be on you.
