Unfortunately, all over the country, Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help. Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic

18、e.In one Beijing primary school we visited, students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink. They look up at the blackboard often to stud

19、y their teachers examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper. “If adults can survive without using handwriting, why bother to teach it now?” we ask the calligraphy teacher, Shen Bin. “The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture,”

24、冠状病毒) exposure in early March, 16-year-old sophomore Andrew Chen knew that things were not going to return to normal as quickly as some of his peers hoped.But still, the transition from seeing his friends on the swim team during daily practices to learning alone at home was jarring.“I only have thre

25、e years here at South, and it pains me to see one of them being wasted,” Chen said.The corona-virus(冠状病毒) has upended (颠倒) everyones lives, but for students, the disruption feels particularly acute. Schools closed and graduation ceremonies were canceled. Summer plans, like camps and internships (实习)

26、, are up in the air. And for recent college graduates, entering the job market in a time of unprecedented unemployment rates is no easy task.But right now, many students are trying to stay connected, grappling (斗争) with misinformation (假消息), and figuring out the best ways they can help through onlin

27、e method.For Josh Harycki, 17, a senior student at the Shipley School in Philadelphia, the best way to contribute was to create a “social distancing pledge (承诺) ” for young people. “I saw a lot of younger generations not paying attention,” he said. “They were . still going out, hanging out with peop

28、le. I thought that there had to be a way to reach younger folks, who were probably not watching the news.”Harycki launched a call to action on social media and then built a website with a map that tracked the locations of people whod signed the pledge. The site also shares links to accurate sources

29、of information like the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.“Going from being around with friends for eight hours a day at school to being isolated at home all day wasnt easy,” said Harycki. “Weve definitely had times when we feel kind of bored at home,” he said. “Were very social beings,

30、and were used to having that school experience.”Harycki knows that his peers are worried they cant connect with their friends in the same way, so he created the social distancing pledge to reinforce (强调) that while everyone might be physically distant, theyre still connected. “Part of what were high

31、lighting is that you might feel like youre the only one taking this seriously, but our map shows that youre not alone,” he said.28. What does the underlined word “jarring” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. natural B. disturbing C. necessary D. reasonable29. Why does the author describe Andrew Chens ex

32、perience in the text?A. To illustrate the appropriate reaction to the closure of school.B. To present the different views of students toward the corona-virus.C.

35、, but there are limits to where rigid solar panels (刚性太阳能电池板)can go. A new kind of solar cell made with a mineral called perovskite (钙钛矿)can go almost anywhere, says physicist Olga Malinkiewicz. We can use perovskite cells on the surfaces of the building, on the roofs of the buildings, on the roofs

36、of the cars and on the electronic devices. We can use it on the sails. We can use it in the balls, tents and unlimited applications. Malinkiewicz says perovskite has become a favorite among solar panel researchers. Because it can be printed, everyone can use it on every surface.Malinkiewicz develope

37、d a way to print perovskite panels like an inkjet printer. She co-founded a company to produce them, called Soleil Technologies, after the Baltic sun goddess. Construction company Skanska is testing the panels at their Warsaw headquarters. Adam Targowski is sustainable (可持续的)development manager for

38、Skanska. They work perfectly, even whentheyare not well exposed to sunlight. So we can use them in all surfaces of the building. Soleil calculates that about one square meter of panel can supply a days worth of power for one workers computer and lights. And they keep getting better as research conti

39、nues, says the companys scientific director Konrad Wojciechowski.For other technologies, it took decades to really enter markets. Perovskite has been around only for few years in scientific research, so there is still a lot to be done, but potential is basically pretty much unlimited, I think. There
