NEW word in 2020
Coronavirus is this year’s Children’s Word of the Year. This is very interesting
given that the 500 Words competition closed on 27 February 2020, the day before
the first case was documented in the UK. This shows the influence of important events
around the world on children’s creativity.
Highlights
The word coronavirus appeared for the first time in the 500 Words stories in
2020. It is not a word that has been used before.
The word has been used 459 times in the stories in 2020, with 287 of them as
coronavirus, 168 as corona virus, and 4 as corona-virus.
It is amazing that many of the themes young writers explored in fiction soon
became a reality with the world in lockdown.

“Look at Amy’s picture!” Mom said, too loud. She does that when she’s excite,
because she can’t hear herself. Some kids turned to stare at us and I wanted to
hide.
I led my family into my classroom and looked around. Other kids and parents
were there, but I didn’t see Evelyn.
Ms. Jennings walked over to us. I introduced her to my family and explained
that my parents are deaf.
“Oh,” she said. “Well, how do you say ‘Welcome!’ in sign language?”
“Like this.” I swept my open right hand in toward my body, palm (掌心) up.
She repeated the movement.
“Thank you,” Mom said, smiling. “It’s nice to meet you.”
Ms. Jennings looked surprised. “You speak very well,” she said.
In sign language, I repeated what Ms. Jennings had said in case my parents hadn’
t read her lips (嘴唇).
Mom nodded. “I lost my hearing as a child, after I’d learned to talk. Amy’
s father was born deaf. He can talk, too, but he’s shy about his voice.”
Dad smiled in agreement.
Some of my classmates were watching us and whispering. Then I noticed Evelyn
and her mom standing by the door.
“I sit over there,” I told my family and quickly walked toward my desk.
“Hi, Amy,” Evelyn said suddenly.
I turned around. “Hi.”
“I didn’t know your parents are deaf,” she said.
“Yeah.” I couldn’t think of anything else to say.
“And you can talk to them with your hands? That’s so cool.”
“You think so?” I asked. I exhaled with relief.
Evelyn nodded. “It’s like a secret code. Would you teach me some words
sometime?”
I smiled. “Of course.”
“One of my dad’s neighbours uses sign,” she said. “Maybe I can surprise
her with a greeting next time I visit my dad.”
“Your dad doesn’t live with you?” I said.
She shook her head. “My parents are separated.”
“Oh, I...” I’d been so worried about my family that I hadn’t thought about
Evelyn’s family. “Hey, if you come over tomorrow, we can practice some sign language
then.”
1 got my parents’ attention. “Mom, Dad,” I said, signing, “I’d like you
to meet my friend Evelyn and her mom.”
31. How is Welcome!’ said in sign language?
A.
B.
C.
D.
32. When Amy exhaled with relief, she most probably felt ________.
A. worried
B. proud
C. relaxed
D.
nervous
33. What can we infer from the passage about Amy?
A. She learned sign language by herself.
B. She didn’t want her parents to
come.
C. She won’t share Evelyn’s family secret.
D. She won’t be so shy about her
family.

Last month, the artist Christo opened his new art sculpture. It is made up of
7,506 colorful barrels (桶) floating on a lake in Hyde Park in London. Christo calls
it TheLondonMastaba. It is his first major outdoor art sculpture in Great Britain.
The artwork is in the shape of a mastaba. It looks somewhat like a pyramid with
a fat top. TheLondonMastabais about 65 feet high, 98 feet wide and 130 feet long,
and it weighs about 1.3 million pounds. The metal barrels can be seen from hundreds
of feet away.

Everyone who looks at it will see something different. Many will think the
barrels are barrels of oil in the heart of one of London’s oldest parks. They might
wonder if Christo was making an announcement against pollution. Others will see
a prism or giant pixels or simply a shape. However, everyone must decide for
themselves, the 83-year-old artist said. Christo said he had nothing special in
mind when he created TheLondonMastaba. “There are no messages,” Christo said.
“There is something in it to discover yourself. I cannot direct you.”
“A Stairway To The Sky”
“It’s created a giant invitation, like a stairway to the sky,” Christo said.
The artist was standing on the banks of the Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park where his
artwork floats. Swans are swimming nearby. Some barrels are red with a white candy
