The coronavirus（冠狀病毒）outbreak has sparked panic buying of toilet paper and cleaning products in countries across the world，but one UK businessman is determined to spread some happiness among the anxiety and confusion．
   Rob Braddick，48，who owns Braddick's Holiday Park in Westward Ho，Devon，in the southwest of England，has filled the toy grabber machines in his amusement park with two of the country's most sought-after cleaning products．
   Customers could previously try their hand at grabbing "Frozen 2" or "Peter Rabbit" toys from the machines，but no more． "They got removed this morning，" Braddick said of the toys，replacing them with toilet roll and hand sanitizer （洗手液）．Visitors can now pay 50 p for three goes on the toilet roll grabber，or ￡1 a go for Carex，which Braddick described as the "Rolls- Royce of hand sanitizers．"
   Braddick said that his decision was born of a desire to make people feel less stressed in uncertain times． "It's a bit of light relief with everything that's going on，" he said． "Hopefully it will raise a smile，which I think everybody needs．"
   Around the world，travel plans have been severely affected，and tens of millions of people remain at home as part of global efforts to fight against coronavirus．Supermarkets have seen shortages of toilet paper and hand sanitizer as anxious consumers stockpile the products．
   Braddick said the family business，which has been running since 1932，has received more than a dozen calls from potential customers who say they don't want to travel abroad for their holidays and would rather stay in the UK．As for his own measures against coronavirus，Braddick said staff have been told to wash their hands every half hour，which is particularly important for those handling money．

1．A hybrid electric vehicle （混合動(dòng)力車） or HEV is a vehicle driven by the combination of petrol engine and electric motor．Terrence has been driving a HEV for five years．He really doesn't understand why more people aren't accepting them． "I probably spend about ＄7 a day on petrol，" the taxi driver told news．com．a(chǎn)u．In his previous conventional vehicle Terrence said he was spending up to ＄30 a day on petrol，meaning he saves almost ＄6000 every year．
   The Toyota spokesman said this was quite a high saving and official tests estimate （估計(jì)） an average driver would only save about 33 percent off their current bill．This means a driver paying ＄30 a day on petrol would see their bill drop to about ＄20 using the hybrid． "A taxi driver that drives in built-up areas and spends little time on highways will notice a higher fuel saving，" he said． "Low speeds allow the electric motors to be used more and the petrol engine used less．"
   While some people are skeptical about how reliable hybrids are，Terrence said he had never run out of power．His Camry cost about ＄34，000 and so after five years，it's nearly paid for itself． "For cab drivers，it's a real advantage because of the cost-effectiveness，" he said．Terrence has no complaints about the car． "I love it，the calm and quietness of it，the simplicity of it-you just jump in and go．The maintenance（保養(yǎng)）is really low．But the only difficulty is finding someone to service the car as there are not many experienced mechanics（機(jī)修工）．"
   Terrence said it's "extraordinary" that more drivers aren't buying more hybrid electric vehicles and that governments are not encouraging this more． "I think people have a view that you have to plug it in，which is not true．A lack of information about the cars may be stopping people from taking the plunge．It's not promoted at all for the public to understand-it's simplifying the actual owning of a car-you don't have to do so many things to own it and run it，it's just so much simpler．Why wouldn't the government promote such a thing？"

（1）How much does an average driver save each day by driving a hybrid，according to the Toyota spokesman？

A．＄30．
B．＄20．
C．＄10．
D．＄7．
（2）Terrence's problem with his HEV at the moment is about the

．
A．speed
B．power
C．price
D．service
（3）When saying "extraordinary"，Terrence thinks it is

．
A．understandable
B．wonderful
C．doubtful
D．unbelievable
（4）What does Terrence think prevent the popularity of hybrid cars？

A．The difficulty in servicing the car．
B．The restriction of the government．
C．The lack of information about HEV．
D．The inconvenience with charging the car．

2．For many kids，the Internet is at their fingertips．From computers to smartphones，a web of information is open to them．According to a new report，about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect the Internet using a mobile device from time to time．Many younger kids are online too．
   Julian Zeitlinger，9，from New Jersey，uses his computer to watch videos and play games．To keep him safe online，his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him． "I ask my parents whether something is nice or bad，" Julian says．
   Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information．The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands．A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience．
   Have you ever had to enter a parent's e-mail address when signing up for a website？That safety measure is there because of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act （COPPA）．The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information，such as a phone number or full name，without a parent's permission．
   This July，the Federal Trade Commission（FTC） will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smart phones．The nature of the way kids get online has changed，F(xiàn)TC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said．
   When the changes take effect，COPPA will apply to mobile devices and newer forms of advertising．It will expand what falls under "personal information" to include videos，photographs，and services that give users location．
   COPPA doesn't cover everything that can go wrong online．That is why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online．
   "There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA，it is totally safe，" says privacy expert Shai Samet．He runs kidSAFE，which checks whether a site meets kidSAFE standards and is safe． "It's important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it also can be dangerous if you are not careful．" he adds．

（1）Julian's parents check his web use to make sure

．
A．he doesn't watch too many videos
B．he doesn't play computer games
C．he controls his online time
D．he stays safe on the Internet
（2）What's one of the changes with COPPA？

A．It broadens the concept of personal information．
B．It prevents users from making their location public．
C．It covers everything that goes wrong online．
D．It says no to any kind of advertising．
（3）People often hold the wrong idea that

．
A．formal websites are always safe
B．the Internet is becoming safer and safer
C．COPPA can ensure their complete safety
D．daily checks prevent future online problems
（4）Why does the author write the passage？

A．To ask parents to look out for their kids．
B．To talk about online safety for children．
C．To introduce a new law．
D．To sell an online product．

3．The Hadza hunter-gatherers of Tanzania live a life that has not changed much over ten thousand years.They have no crops，no house animals，no permanent shelters.In spite of long exposure to agriculturalist groups around them，the Hadza have maintained their lifestyle.
   The story of the spread of agriculture is the story of growing population density （密度）.Villages formed，then cities，then nations.Agriculture's rise，however，came with a price. It introduced infectious diseases，social inequality，occasional famines （饑荒） and war.Professor Jared Diamond of UCLA （University of California，Los Angeles） has called the adoption of agriculture "the worst mistake in human history"— a mistake from which we have never recovered.
   Looking at the Hadza，you can see why he came to this conclusion.They do not engage in warfare.They do not live densely （稠密地） enough to be threatened by an infectious outbreak.They have no known history of famine （饑荒）.The Hadza diet is more stable （穩(wěn)定的） and varied than that of most of the world's citizens.They live almost entirely free of possessions.They enjoy an extraordinary amount of leisure time， "working" — actively pursuing food — only four to six hours a day.
   The chief reason the Hadza have been able to maintain their lifestyle so long is that their homeland is not an inviting place.Recently，however，population growth has brought a flood of people into Hadza lands.The region has generally been viewed by outsiders as unused，a Place in need of development.The Hadza，who by nature are not a combative （好戰(zhàn)的） people，have almost always moved away instead of fighting.
   There are many things to envy about the Hadza，mostly what free spirits they appear to be.Free from schedules，jobs，bosses，bills，traffic，taxes，laws，social duties and money.But who of us could live like them？It's incredibly risky.Medical help is far away.One bad fall from a tree，one bite from a snake，and you're dead.The fact is that it's too late for us to go back to the Hadza lifestyle.Of greater concern is that soon it may be impossible for them to maintain theirs.

（1）What does the underlined word "It" in paragraph 2 refer to？

A．Agriculture's rise.
B．The growth of population.
C．The formation of village.
D．The appearance of a city.
（2）What's the characteristic of the Hadza？

A．They are always busy in all seasons.
B．They like fighting with the other nations.
C．They are often in hunger because of fight.
D．They are always leading a free life without fight.
（3）What can be learned from the last paragraph？

A．It's convenient for the people of Hadza to get medical care.
B．It's worth visiting the beautiful scenery of the Hadza.
C．Visitors can be welcomed warmly by the people of the Hadza.
D．The author is worried about the current situation of the Hadza.
（4）Which is the best title for the text？

A．Agriculture of the Hadza
B．The Unique Hadza Lifestyle
C．The Attractive Diet of the Hadza
D．The Medical Care of the Hadza
