However, you might also have a lot of questions. Don’t worry. We’re here to help.Should I wear a mask and keep social distance(社交距离) after I’m vaccinated? Yes, when you’re in public — at least for now. Scientists are still learning how COVID-19 vaccines work to protect people. So for right now, it’s still safest to do these while you’re in public. Keep wearing your mask, stay at least 1.8m away from other people, and wash your hands often. Also, try to avoid(避免) crowded places and areas that don’t have good ventilation (通风).Can I go to a restaurant after I’m vaccinated? It may be best to avoid it for now. Scientists aren’t 100% sure whether you can pick it up and spread it to other people. If you do choose to go to a restaurant or other public places, you still need to wear a mask, wash your hands often, and stay at least 1.8m away from others.Can I travel after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine? You should probably still avoid traveling for a while. When you travel, it’s harder tocontrol your environment, so you may still be at risk of getting or spreading COVID-19, even if you have been vaccinated. If you can, it’s probably better to stay close to home until the pandemic is better under control.What are the most common side effects(副作用) of the COVID-19 vaccine? You might have the flu. When you receive the vaccine, you might feel tired or get a headache, muscle pains or a fever. You might also get pain, redness, or swelling (肿胀) in your arm where you received the shot.36.If you go to a restaurant after you’re vaccinated, youshould .A. go with a friendB. ask a doctor firstC. choose a crowded oneD. wear a mask37.You should not travel even if you have received the COVID-19 vaccine, because .A. you may have serious side effectsB. you can’t control the environmentC. scientists are not sure if traveling is safeD. other people may get COVID-19 because of you38.Which of the following is not the side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine according to the passage?A.

The answer to these questions is yes.However, there are growing facts that fast food is one of the worst parts of modern life. And studies have shown that burgers and fried chicken, which we enjoy so much, can cause a lot of health problems.In spite of (尽管) this, why are fast food restaurants so attractive (吸引人的)? The first and most important reason is that their service is fast. Their staff (员工) are friendly and very smart-looking in their clean and bright uniforms (制服). Moreover, most fast food restaurants are near places that people always pass by. It is so easy to grab a burger and eat it on the way to work.Fast food is often so conveniently packed (包装方便) that it will not cause a mess even if you stand and eat it. Fast food restaurants are also very clean. A lot of clever ads (广告) have made them the coolest places in town, but none of them has ever told and will never tell you that too much fast food is not good for your health.Such attractive places are selling junk food! Isn’t it a pity? Is there a way to change the fast food restaurants into special places where you get the best possible, healthy and fresh food?Well, why not?As people realize the health problems that fast food causes, it is quite likely that fast food restaurants may go out ofdate. It may happen sooner or later. Therefore, instead of resisting (抵制) fast food restaurants, a better idea may be to persuade (说服) them to change their menu! Fast food restaurants can be places to go to when you want to eat something that will be good for your body. If they could combine (结合) healthy food with their speed of service, delicious tastes and comfortable feelings, that will be the next best thing on theearth for the human beings!46.What does "this" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. fast food is deliciousB. people enjoy fast foodC. fast food restaurants are coolD. fast food can cause health problems47.Fast food has many advantages(优点) EXCEPT thatit’s .A. deliciousB. fastC. convenientD. healthy48.Which word can replace the word "grab" in Paragraph 3?A. move suddenlyB. get quicklyC. throw quicklyD. carry carefully49.According to the passage, ads about fast food .A. show you all the factsB. don’t tell you the whole truthC. make it hard to buy fast foodD. make fast food restaurants out of date50.The author advises .A. changing tastes of fast foodB. resisting fast food restaurantsC. making fast food good for healthD. making the service of fast food restaurants faster三、书面表达假设你是赵华,Susan 是你的美国笔友,她两周前来中国学习。
