On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War(抗击新型肺炎战)，the Ministry of Education issued (公布) a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before February 17. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.
However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect children’s studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.
In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform (平台) where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.
It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection (感染)of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.
Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.

Although I have grown up, I act like a small child sometimes. I don't like growing up to be an adult.1.
One day, I went to buy a Christmas card. After I went into the shop, the shopkeeper showed me where to find the cards. I met a young mother and her baby there.2.The young mother passed by the shelf closely so that the little girl was able to pick up a toy. However, it seemed too difficult for the little girl to pick up a toy. Then the young mother stopped.3.
The big smile on the face of the little girl made me think of my childhood. When I was a small child, my parents came along whenever I needed them. They solved almost every problem for me.4. Suddenly, the young mother's words brought me back to reality(现实）."Dear, one day, when you become an adult, I hope you can manage your own life," she said to the little girl.
The words woke me up. I was no longer a small child. I should learn to be independent and face problems bravely by myself.5.

B.Things become more difficult in the world of adults
C.She picked up a toy for her child and made her happy.

Bananas are the perfect snack. Not only they are sweet and delicious, but they are easy to carry around, so you can take them anywhere. Best of all, bananas provide different things that the human body needs!
Bananas grow best in warm places that get lots of rain. They grow on plants that look like trees .The banana plant, however, is considered a herb rather than a tree because it doesn't have a strong, woody stem. The plants can grow as high as 30 feet. When they reach their full height, flowers grow out from the stem. These flowers produce bananas.
Two or three times each year, the plants produce fruit. The bananas grow together, which seem like "hands". A hand is made up of 10 to 20 bananas. Growers sometimes call bananas“fingers". Each bunch (丛)of bananas has about 15 hands, and so a whole bunch may have as many as 200 bananas and can weigh more than 100 pounds.
After about three months, the bananas are ready to be picked. At this point, they still aren't the sunny yellow color of bananas. Farmers pick them when they’re green. That's how they're shipped to stores. They turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold.
If you love bananas, you've got a lot of company. Americans have been enjoying bananas since the first shipment arrived in the United States in 1876. Today, Americans eat more bananas than any other fruit. More bananas are sold than apples and grapes together. Every American eats over 26 pounds of bananas each year!
