11、n the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station.

17、oping ones. Their experience, however, will be worse. In poorer countries, where fewer jobs can be done remotely, distancing measures wont work as well.

25、pic germs, whether we like it or not.The best analogy(类比）for today might be November 10th 1942.Britain had just won its first land victory of the war, and Winston Churchill declared in a speech: “This is not the end.
