But recently, it has caught uncommon attention: It can be a sign of catching COVID-19. Whatever the cause, here are some things you should remember if you develop a fever.Don’t drink certain drinks. Alcohol, soda and coffee should be avoided when you have a fever. They can cause your body to lose water when it really needs a lot of water.Do not dress too warmly or put yourself in a place that is too hot. This can influence the body’s ability to regulate(调节) its temperature and make your fever worse.Don’t take medicine without the doctor’s advice. Although fever-reducing medicines are very useful for treating fever, taking more than the recommended amount can lead to serious harm to your health and even death. For children, the amount should be smaller.Don’t stay hungry. The old saying “Those with a cold should eat, while those with a fever should eat nothing” is wrong and dangerous. Fever speeds up your metabolism(新陈代谢). Hunger also reduces the body’s ability to fight off disease. So you need to get more energy from food.Don’t forget to drink water. A fever will increase the number of breaths, causing water loss. The body also sweats more as it regulates its temperature. In addition, people usually drink less water when they have a fever, which will finally cause the body to lose water faster.21. Alex has a fever, his temperature must be ________.A. below 36.8B. above 36.8C. below 37.3D. above 37.322. According to the passage, you can’t drink ________if you have a fever.A. waterB. milkC. coffeeD. juice23. According to paragraph 4, we know that eating too much fever-reducing medicines ________.A. can help the patients get better soonB. do great harm to the patientsC. slow down the patients’ metabolismD. bring no differences to the patients24. Eating enough food is important to treat fever because it can ________.A. protect the patients from losing waterB. provide energy for the patientsC. speed up the patients’ metabolismD. regulate the patients’ temperature25. The article is written to tell people ________.A. how to deal with feverB. when to take medicineC. what makes fever worseD. why the body loses water fasterBDriving a car, buying clothes, using heating in winter—lots of things you do send out CO2 into the air. But do you know that the food you eat every day plays a big role in your carbon footprint, too?According to the survey of The Conversation, an Australian website, about one-third of the world’s carbon emissions(碳排放) come from agriculture. To create fewer carbon emissions from food systems, the whole agriculture process should be thought about, including growing, processing, transportation and waste. The Conversation provides some useful ideas that can help cut down carbon emissions in food system. Here are two examples.Smart fertilizers(农药) When people make traditional fertilizers, they need to burn lots of coal(煤). That causes lots of carbon emissions. At the same time, fertilizers are often overused, creating greater land pollution. Now, some companies are making smart bio-fertilizers. They let microorganisms(微生物) live together with crops. This not only reduces carbon emissions but also helps the ecosystem become healthier.Vertical farming(垂直农业) Vertical farms make good use of room in the air above. It will help farmers save the land and grow more crops. Some new vertical farms also use energy-saving LED lights to produce year-round crops. Compared with traditional farms, these new types of farms use less water and labor. They can save both resources(资源) and manpower.26. The following activities give out CO2 into the air EXCEPT ________.A. driving a carB. using heat in winterC. buying clothesD. planting trees27. The Conversation helps to reduce carbon emission by ________.A. setting up a websiteB. providing some ideasC. creating smart fertilizersD. using vertical farming28.

New Projects to Record Carbon FootprintB. New Ideas to Protect the LandC. New Types of FarmingD. New Ways to Reduce Carbon EmissionsC配对阅读。左栏是五个人遇到的问题，右栏是七个手机应用程序及介绍，请为每个人选择一个合适的手机应用。____31____ Tom is under great pressure these days, he can’t sleep or eat well.
