The world is currently experiencing a pandemic of an infectious disease

newly discovered coronavirus. Most people (36)
are infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience cold or flu-like
symptoms and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those
with underlying medical problems like heart disease, chronic respiratory disease,
diabetes, and cancer are more likely to (37)
serious illness. COVID-19 impacts the elderly and those with pre-existing
health conditions most severely.

The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed

yourself and (38) people from infection by washing your hands or using an
alcohol-based rub frequently and not touching your face,

The COVID-19 virus spreads (39) through droplets of saliva or discharge

from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it's important that
you minimize the potential that you infect someone else. At this time, there are no
specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. (40) there are many ongoing
clinical trials evaluating potential treatments. WHO will continue to provide updated
information as soon as clinical findings become available.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer to
indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 46 to 50.
The thing I like most about living on a farm when I was small was the change
of seasons spring, summer, autumn and winter. I could see them all come and go
and each one was completely different. If I hadn't been born and raised in the
country, I would have never been able to tell the difference. Now in the city, you can
buy summer flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables all year round. Whereas,
in the country I could only eat things at certain times of the year. For example,
strawberries in June and turnips in winter lived my childhood with the seasons.
Also we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food.
Everything was fresh, so it must be better than the type of food I am eating now in
the city. City people think that people in the country miss a lot of good things about
modern life, but in my opinion they miss a lot more than them. They miss real life.

seasons in a year for the city people?

B. It may be hard to tell the seasonal difference.
