Monkeys are clever, but they are very greedy (贪婪的) as well. They have suffered (吃亏) a lot because of this. But they never change this way.

    In India, people use monkeys' greed to catch them. Do you know how they can catch monkeys? Here are some instructions.

    ●Make a hole（洞）in a big pumpkin. The hole must be just right—not too big or too small.

    ●Put some jujubes (枣) in the hole.

    ●Leave the pumpkin under a tree. Make sure there are some monkeys in the tree.

    ●Hide yourself and watch the monkeys.

    When you leave, the monkeys come down to the pumpkin. When they find a hole in the pumpkin,they don't know what's in it and one of them puts its hand into the hole to find out what is inside. When it touches the jujubes, it will clench (攥紧) some of them in its hand. So it isn't able to take its fist (拳) out of the hole. You can't come close at this time. Will the monkey drop off the pumpkin? Don't worry. It seems it likes the pumpkin better than its life. It will run with the pumpkin, clenching its fist more tightly. Finally,people can catch it easily.

    The past few months were unusual for everyone. The novel coronavirus pneumonia(新冠肺炎) has greatly affected (影响) the lives of people across the world. However, people in China worked together and helped each other to fight against the novel coronavirus. Even if we are not doctors, we can also do something to help fight the virus. People from different walks of life have set examples for us.

Hua Yuchen is a music teacher in Wuhan. She has been fighting the virus as a volunteer(志愿者) for over a month. "At first, I had no idea what kind of work I was going to do," Hua told China Daily. "But as I was born in Wuhan, I knew I must do something for my hometown, even though I am just an ordinary (普通的) person and cannot save patients as doctors do." She does a lot of work. She sends medical workers to and from work. She takes the temperatures of drivers on the highway.

Hua said all of the volunteers are working hard. "There's always someone who arrives earlier than me, does more work and leaves later," she said. "We are just humans. No one can say they are not afraid. But the volunteers are brave (勇敢的) enough to stand up and do what they can."
