The COVID-19 has affected the world. Recently scientists have been meeting online. But not all of them are discussing the virus. Some are discussing climate change. The use of fuel, like oil and gas, is causing the earth to warm up. The rising temperatures change weather patterns across the earth. This causes climate change.

Pollution Levels Drop During Lockdown(封锁期)

Right now, people are not using as much fuel. They are driving and flying less. Pollution has decreased in many countries, such as the United States, India and China. This is because of the COVID-19 pandemic. A pandemic is a worldwide outbreak of a disease.

The changes in pollution levels won’t last long. This is because factories stopped running during the lockdown. As the country reopens, though, the pollution is expected to increase again.

________

Some people say that the outbreak is a reason to make changes in how we deal with climate change. They say progress that was made with the environment could be lost.

Kenneth Gillingham is a professor at Yale University. He says the pandemic has affected renewable(可再生的) energy. Scientists hope people can realize that the energy problem is also serious and pay more attention to renewable energy.

Changing Human Behavior Is the Key

People know that the pandemic is a threat(威胁). But scientists want people to understand that climate change is a big threat, too. Scientists see a connection between humans and natural disasters. But most people feel disconnected from climate change.

On Nov. 29th, Chinese traditional tea processing skills were added to the UNESCO cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea.

Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different fruits. People can enjoy a quiet time by doing that. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method become more popular steeping (冲泡).

▲ On the app Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, there are over 40,000 posts on the topic of “stove-boiled tea” (围炉煮茶). People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times.

29、A Smile Is Good Medicine

At 5:00 p.m. I stopped at the market to pick up a few essentials — cream for coffee, eggs for breakfast and medicine for my terrible ____.

Having been rushing all day, I was ____ out and did not want to shop with crowds of other tired ____ . But I told myself it was my last stop ____ going home to put my feet up and watch my husband make dinner. So I gritted my teeth, took a deep breath and entered the ____.

That’s when I saw her, a baby ____ in a shopping cart (购物车), who looked around 9 months old, with blond hair and large blue eyes. We stared at each other. Then I did what I always do with children: I gave her my best smile. That’s a ____ I formed long ago when I became a mother. It ____ my first child, in that unforgettable, life-changing moment when he was ____ on my body and I watched him turn his tiny face up to find me.

The baby and I smiled at each other. That got a smile in return from every shopper I passed. I waved goodbye and ____ blew me a kiss.
