NEW word in 2020
Coronavirus is this year's Children's Word of the Year． This is very interesting given that the 500 Words competition closed on 27 February 2020， the day before the first case was documented in the UK． This shows the influence of important events around the world on children's creativity．
Highlights
•The word coronavirus appeared for the first time in the 500 Words stories in 2020． It is not a word that has been used before．
•The word has been used 459 times in the stories in 2020， with 287 of them as coronavirus， 168 as corona virus， and 4 as corona﹣virus．
•It is amazing that many of the themes young writers explored in fiction soon became a reality with the world in lockdown．
Examples
The nurses came running over． I felt a pain in my neck， I started to gasp for air． My body started shaking I couldn't control myself． My eyes rolled to the back of my head， a mask covered my mouth， my temperature raised and I have the coronavirus．
（The Ex， girl 13）
A few years later he finally landed on earth …but when he landed he found out a deadly virus had struck earth， the corona virus …
（Bob's Trip Around the Universe， boy 10）

Hi， Tom，
Thanks for your message and I am glad that you wrote to me for ideas．
I remember when I was learning English， I felt uncomfortable about speaking． I could remember lots of words and knew grammar rules， but speaking was difficult． I now feel a lot more confident about speaking， so here are some ideas that I have taken from my own experience．
Don' t worry about making mistakes．Other people will still know your meaning and they probably won't notice your mistakes．
Use every chance you get to speak． For example，it's a good idea to use only English in class and not to speak to your classmates in your own language． At home， you should also try practicing new words and grammar learnt in class．
Think about extra speaking practice outside the classroom． You can join a conversation group，such as the chat groups in the study centre． They are free to join．
Practice speaking online． There are lots of websites where you can communicate with someone from all around the world．
I hope this helps you and please come to me if you have other problems．
Best wishes，
Eliza

Do you like Physics or Chemistry？ Matter （物质） is always changing， either physically or chemically． If a material goes through a physical change， it is still the same material． During a chemical change， one kind of matter changes into another completely different kind of matter． For example， when we burn wood or cook fish， materials change． People use chemistry every day in the kitchen． The food we eat has many different natural chemicals． Many of the chemicals in food are necessary parts of a healthy diet．
Much of the food we eat has been changed in some way from its original form． The changes that food undergoes may be chemical or physical． If a change does not affect the food's chemical composition， we call it a physical change． For example， melted （溶解的） cheese has gone through a physical change． It gets softer when it is heated but it is still the same type of material． Any change that changes the chemicals in the food is a chemical change． Bread contains carbohydrates， which are chemicals made up of carbon， hydrogen， and oxygen． When bread is baked （烘焙）， the carbohydrates break down into black carbon and water． The carbon gives the bread a dark color and a crunchy texture （质地）． The water goes into the air．
To get a closer look at the chemistry of baking， let's watch how a carrot cake is made． The main steps of baking any cake are mixing the ingredients （材料） and baking them together． In the course of making cakes， the dry ingredients are mixed first． They are flour， sugar， salt， baking soda， baking powder and spices． Flour gives the cake structure． Sugar helps to make it sweet． Salt strengthens the cake batter． Baking powder and baking soda make the cake rise．
Next， the carrots may be added to the cake． These help give the carrot cake its flavor， texture， and color． The other ingredients in the carrot cake are oil and eggs． The oil makes the cake tender and moist． Eggs serve two purposes﹣the whites help the cake to rise， while the yolks （蛋黄） give it a creamy texture． All of these ingredients form a mixture． This mixture can be separated into its different components （成分） although it is very difficult． Once the cake mixture is formed， it's poured into a cake pan and baked in an oven． The heat from the oven has caused chemical changes to take place． The cake is finished and the ingredients cannot be separated．
（1）The material doesn't change when we ．
A． melt ice cream
B． burn paper
C． bake apple pies
D． cook beef
（2）What's the correct order of baking a carrot cake in the passage？
a． Carrots， oil and eggs are added．

c． The mixture is baked in an oven．
d． Baking powder and soda make the cake rise．
e． Preparing some dry ingredients．
f． The heat from the oven causes chemical changes．
g． The ingredients cannot be separated．
h． The mixture is poured into a pan
A． b﹣a﹣h﹣f﹣g
B． b﹣h﹣c﹣d﹣f
C． e﹣d﹣c﹣a﹣g
D． e﹣c﹣a﹣g﹣d
（3）After reading the passage， we know that ．
A． water and carbon can give the cake a dark color and a crunchy texture
B． people can separate the mixture of eggs and oil into different components
C． chemicals in different kinds of food that people eat are bad for their health
D． sugar and salt can't be put into the mixture to make a cake at the same time
（4）The passage mainly helps us to ．
A． look at the steps of baking cakes closely
B． learn how to make carrot cakes at home
C． have a healthy diet with natural chemicals
D． understand physical and chemical changes
LIFE is AWKWARD．What should you do when your parents are embarrassing（使尴尬）you in front of your friends？Or what if you see what looks like a classmate stealing someone else's headphones？ In our social Q's column（专栏），the teenager Harper Ediger and the adult Philip Galances give their best advice to kids looking for help navigating real﹣life situations，Now it's your turn：Do you have a question about an uncomfortable social situation at school，at home，on social media or among friends？Email it to us at Kidsqs@njpost．com and Harper and Philip may answer it in a future issue．Please include your age and hometown．Come on，we know you have one．
To inspire（激励）you， here are reader﹣submitted questions we've published in previous issues：
My mom signs me up for camps and activities without asking what I want to do．I only learn what I'm doing at the last minute．I don't like that it's a surprise，and I feel that I should be able to help plan my time．How can I have more of a say？
At my school， fourth graders need to learn different dances，then dress up for a fancy party where we ask partners to dance with us．This makes me nervous，and I'm not looking forward to it．How should I handle this situation？
My sister is home for college break，and lucky me，she's my roommate．As I'm 12 and she's almost 19， we both want our own space．I know she doesn't mean it personally， but she always complains that she doesn't have a home， which makes me feel as if I'm intruding in my own room．Do I tell her how l feel or let it go？

Looking at art should be like walking in the countryside．You may not know exactly where you are，what bird is making that strange sound， or what the hill ahead of you is called，but that's part of the fun of it．You don't need to know these things to feel the beauty of nature．
Of course， if you do know your birds， trees and local history， a walk can be more attractive． Yet such knowledge comes slowly． It is picked up through experience．A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone．Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen． Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin（毁灭） it？
Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge， for example， about baroque（巴洛克风格的） paintings． In fact， apps in museums try to provide on﹣screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings．
It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon﹣fed（灌输） amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate（欣赏） it． Our first experience of a work of art should be raw（自然状态的），unguided，and a bit puzzling， like following a path in the woods． Later， you might choose to do some personal research into the work． It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it． Yet it is best done when you're away from the art itself， so that even when you return， the work still feels fresh．
Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong． We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art． Let the paintings flow in； let your intuitions（直觉） fly off． Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all．
（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？
A． Art is best with the help of apps．
B． Art is best when hidden in mystery．
C． Art is nothing compared with nature．
D． Art is nothing when details and facts are known．
（2）The underlined word "braggarts" refers to（指） ．
A． people who like showing off
B． people who like baroque paintings
C． those who are good at appreciating art
D． those who are good at painting with phones
（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 4？
A． How to appreciate a work of art．
B． How to personal research into a work of art．
C． How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh．
D． How to be spoon﹣fed amazing facts about a work of art．
（4）what can we infer（推断） from the passage？
A． Because of apps， art will be ruined in the future．
B． A good piece of art is usually made about nature．
C． Research work and intuitions can both help understand art．
D． Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones．
With so much free time on our hands during lockdown， many of us have entertained the idea of knowing more about the world． Learning a foreign language is a good choice． Here are a few examples， in order of time it takes people to learn them．
Latin languages （about 600 hours）
The popular Latin languages ﹣ Italian， French， Spanish and Portuguese ﹣ require about 600 hours to learn． Of these， Spanish and Italian are the easiest for English speakers to learn． They are followed by Portuguese and finally French．
Latin languages share many words with English．However，those shared words look or sound similar， but have different meanings over time．
Greek （1，100 hours）
Modern Greek is maybe the easiest language to learn that uses a different alphabet（字母表）．It is also a language that has contributed many words to English． Indeed， the president of Greece once gave two speeches at an international meeting that included just Greek loan words（外来词） as well as the unavoidable basic English．
Japanese （2， 200 hours）
Counting objects in Japanese depends on whether they are long and thin （like "roads"）， small and round （like "apples"）， thin and flat （like "sheets of paper"）， and hundreds more examples．
What Japanese you speak also depends on your gender（性别）． There's a "rough" language for men and a more "ladylike" language for women， but you must understand both．
Chinese （2， 200 hours）
Each Chinese written word is hardly understandable when spoken between a Mandarin （普通话） speaker in Beijing and a Cantonese speaker in Guangdong． If you think that's strange， consider our number system： the symbol "2" is widely understood but it's pronounced "two" in English and "duex" in French．
（1）For an English speaker， which of the following is the easiest to learn？
A． Japanese．
B． French．
C． Greek．
D． Italian．
（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A． The same word in two languages always has the same meaning．
B． The English language and the Greek language use the same alphabet．
C． Objects are counted differently in Japanese according to their shapes．
D． A Mandarin speaker and a Cantonese speaker write Chinese differently．
（3）The purpose of this passage is to tell English speakers ．
A． how to learn some foreign languages
B． why they must learn a foreign language
C． some information on the difficulty of foreign languages
D． not to choose an Asian language to learn as it is too hard
（1）One of my friends sometimes takes aside another friend to talk to her about something she doesn't want me to hear． It makes me feel sad． What should I do？
（2）Some of my friends are in a fight． like them all equally（同样地）， but they say I have to choose sides． Help!
（3）I look up to my sisters． They're both intelligent（聪明的） feel that I'll never be as good as them．
（4）I am the shortest person in my class， and my classmates call me "Tiny Mouse． " How can I make them stop？
（5）I always use the computer and can't stop I feel that I'm not getting any smarter and the computer is warping（扭曲） my brain．
A． It's wonderful that you admire them． but try not to compare yourself to them． Instead of trying to be like them， just try to be the best you possible． You will find that you will be much happier when you try to be true to yourself， rather than when you try to be like someone else．
B． The only way to break a habit is to force yourself to do something different． A world of exciting and interesting activities is just waiting for you． Write a list of things you've always wanted to do， learn， make， or try． When you feel like playing it， do something else．
C． Discuss this with her． Try not to suppose that she talks about you unless you actually hear what she says． But let her know that you are unhappy when she tells secrets around you． If you feel uncomfortable talking to her in person， you could write her a note instead．
D． We often hear from kids who are laughed at about their height． They probably don't mean to hurt your feelings． There are advantages and disadvantages to being any size． You might play along and come up with a funny reply． However， if you feel hurt， try talking to a parent or teacher．
E． Explain to your friends that you like all of them． You can play with each person or group separately． If they don't like this， then you may want to focus on other friendships until these friends work things out． Another idea is to offer to help your friends solve their problems．
Can you imagine walking in， sitting next to a stranger and asking for the latest news or putting a recent novel down next to someone's coffee and asking for their opinion before giving yours？
But more than 300 years ago， this kind of behaviour was encouraged in thousands of coffeehouses all over London． In 1712， the Starbucks site（位置） today was occupied（占据） by Button's coffeehouse Inside， poets， writers and members of the public gathered around long wooden tables drinking， thinking， writing and discussing literature into the night． On the wall， near where the Starbucks community notice board now stands， was the white marble（大理石） head of a lion with wide﹣open mouth． The public was invited to feed it with letters and stories． The best of the lion's digest（文摘） were published in a weekly edition of Joseph Addison's Guardian newspaper， named "the roaring of the lion"．
Today， few people know Button's． It's just one of London's forgotten coffeehouses．
London's first coffeehouse was opened by a Greek named Pasque Rosee in 1652． While a servant for a British merchant in Turkey， Rosee developed a taste for the exotic（异国情调的） Turkish drink and decided to import（进口） it to London． People from all walks of life came to his business to meet， greet， drink， think， write， and joke．

Time Management
Do you ever wish you had more time？ Everyone gets the same amount of time each day， But here are some ways to use those hours better．As a popular saying says， "Work smarter，not harder．"
The most important way to manage your time is to set priorities（优先权）（1） Also，consider whether or not they are urgent﹣if they need to be done right away．It can be easy to forget important tasks that aren't urgent， so make time for them．
Decide ahead of time what you're going to do at certain times each day．Schedule times not only to meet people but also to do things alone． Then you can make sure every thing gets done．
（2） Are you smarter in the morning，afternoon or evening？ Schedule difficult tasks for times you feel good，saving easy ones for when you're tired．
Write down what you need to do and when．I keep two to﹣do lists： one for the present tasks and one for larger projects I'm working on．（3） And I don't get discouraged by looking at a long list of items I can't finish． I focus on the shorter list of each days tasks．
（4） When someone wants to give you a task，think carefully．Is it really important enough to spend your precious（ 宝贵的） time on？ Could someone else do it instead？
（5） If you're in charge of running a meeting，keep it short．Reading articles or talking to friends online can also use up much of your time．Don't allow it．
In the end，using time well is about making a good plan and sticking to it．
A．Think about the time of day you work best．
B．That way I can make sure I don't forget anything．
C．Figure out （弄明白） which of your tasks is the most important．
D．Often，managing time means saying no to things that aren't so important．
E．Meetings also tend to be a waste of time， so avoid them whenever possible．
At some point in life，many people develop a mental（精神） problem．While most people get over it，for others it doesn't go away easily．
The WHO says that about 20 percent of teenagers worldwide suffer from mental illness．It's thought that the number of teenagers with mental illness around the world will increase by half by 2020．It will become one of the main causes of illness，and even death．
In China，the picture isn't bright，either．About one tenth of teenagers under the age of 17 have a mental health challenge．
The world is changing fast．Study and relationships have always caused stress，but today the stress is much higher than before，the WHO said．
A research centre in Oxford University says that young people today have big stresses at school．For example，they experience bullying（欺凌）．In a 2017 report，the centre noted that the Internet was a special source（渠道）of stress．Online，young people often see "messages about perfection" and this causes the young "great uncertainty about their futures"，says the centre．
Also，according to China Daily，Chinese people don't ask for help with their mental problems．They fear that others will think less of them if they say that they are in mental trouble．Elaine Peng，a US mental health educator，makes a similar point．And in the UK，over three quarters of young people believe their mental problems have a social stigma．It is reported in 2017 that a quarter of young UK people wouldn't ask for help if they developed a mental problem．
Young people who don't ask for help for their condition may be creating problems for themselves in the future．Elaine Peng warned that，"If we hide our mental health，it may remain a problem forever．"
"My message for young people is，if you feel something is wrong with you﹣ask for help，"he told China Daily．
（1）Which of the followings is NOT the cause of stress according to the passage？

D．Certainty about the future．
（2）Why don't Chinese people ask for help with their mental problems？
A．They don't think them serious．
B．They can get over them in time．
C．They can keep their mental health secret．
D．They are afraid of being looked down upon．
（3）What does the underlined word "stigma" most probably mean in Chinese？
A．羞耻
B．印象
C．援助
D．危害
（4）Elaine Peng advised the teenagers with mental illness to ．
A．think less of themselves
B．avoid being bullied
C．ask for help as soon as possible
D．stay away from the Internet
（5）The main purpose of the passage is to ．
A．ask research centres for help

Did you take part in a camp this summer？ There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same To choose which camp is best for you， first you must do a bit of research．
Maybe you've never thought about it before， but every great summer camp has the same main goals﹣opportunity， challenge and growth．
Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special． It also makes you special because other kids don't have the same opportunity． For example， if you interested in writing， then you can choose to join a journalism（新闻）camp． You may have the opportunity of meeting famous journalists there．
Challenge means you are given a task． You must finish the task and succeed in dealing with the challenge． Then you will have a sense of achievement． For example， you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps． If you pass the exam， then you will receive a certificate（证书） to become a real lifeguard．
This also leads to the third and most important goal of every great summer camp﹣personal growth． It doesn't mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful．It means seeing yourself improve， learning something new and doing something you didn't know or believe you could do before． It also means becoming more confident in yourself．
So in the future when choosing your next summer camp， remember to ask yourself：Is it a special opportunity？ Is it a challenge？ Will i grow？
But what about friendship， fun and joy？ These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camps!
（1）Which is the writer's opinion？
A．Different camps have different goals．

B．grow more beautiful
C．become better and more confident
D．learn new life﹣saving skills

A．It's not important to have fun at a camp．
B．It's hard to make real friends at a camp．
C．You can get more joy with more goals at a camp．
D．With the right goals，you can have fun while learning at a camp．

A．What makes a camp great？
B．Which is the best goal？
C．How to be a successful camper？
D．How to do research work？
Do you want to improve your physics and chemistry grades？ Well， maybe you should first lean something about the struggles（奋斗）of great scientists．
The American Psychological Association did an interesting study． More than 400 students from schools in New York City took part in it． The students were divided into three groups． Group I read a typical textbook that describes the achievements of great scientists． Group 2 read about those scientists' personal struggles． For example， as a Jew， Einstein（爱因斯坦） ran away from Nazi Germany to avoid persecution （迫害）． The last group read about the scientists' intellectual struggles，such as Marie Curie's failed scientific tests． These stories about struggles also told students how the scientists dealt with these obstacles（障碍）．
The students took a science exam before the study． After the six﹣week study， they took another Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades． Students in Group I didn't see a grade increase． Some of them even had lower grades after the study．
The study was led by Xiaodong Lin﹣Siegler， a teacher at Columbia University．According to Xiaodong， kids often think Einstein was truly intelligent． They believe they will never match him． Many of them fail to realize that any success requires a long journey． Along the way， there are many failures（失败）．
Students who read the struggle stories more probably said that great scientists were like themselves． The "great minds" also had to overcome obstacles to achieve success．
Xiaodong says today's science textbooks fail to bring science to life． As a result，students seldom regard science as part of their everyday lives． Instead， they just see a long list of facts that they have to remember． Xiaodong thinks textbooks should include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed． And students should focus more on how these scientists dealt with the obstacles they met along the way．

Most of you will enter high school this autumn． By that time， you'll find yourself immersed in
（沉浸于） traditional Chinese culture．（3）The traditional Chinese culture can help students build cultural confidence． Nowadays， the education focuses more on the traditional Chinese culture．
