Gulangyu,a beautiful island in Xiamen,Fujian,was successfully listed in the UNESCO World Heritage（世界文化遺產(chǎn)）on July 8th,2017.It’s not only the pride of my hometown,but also the pride of the whole nation.

Gulangyu is separated from Xiamen by the 600-metre-wide Egret River（鷺江）, with an area of 1.91 square kilometers. It’s like a garden on the water. You can go there only by ships. Cars, buses and bikes are not allowed to run on the island. It is so quiet that wherever you go, you can hear the sound of playing the piano. As a result of this, it is called “the island of music”．

The first name of the island was Yuanzhouzi. In the Ming Dynasty it was changed as Gulangyu, meaning “drum waves”.Because the holes in the southwestern reefs （暗礁）hit by the waves make sounds like the drum beating.

Today, Gulangyu is listed as one of the nation’s major travelling places of interest here include the Sunlight Rock,Shuzhuang Park,Gangzihou Bathing Beach and Memorial Hall to Zheng Chenggong,which are visited by millions of people from all parts of the country and the world.What’s more,the buildings and food are popular with visitors.

Therefore, I hope our government can protect the fairyland well,especially the environment.

Infrared thermometers（紅外溫度計）, or temperature guns, have been widely used to detect（檢測）the early symptoms of COVID-19. They allow us to measure（測量）temperatures quickly. How do these thermometers work?

They determine temperature by measuring the energy coming from your skin （皮膚）. Everything in nature has molecules （分子） inside of it that are always moving around. This include our skin. The higher the temperature is, the faster the molecules move. The molecules give off infrared light while moving.

This kind of light can be focused or absorbed（吸收）. The thermometers use a lens（鏡頭）to focus infrared light from the skin onto a detector called a thermopile（熱電堆）. The thermopile absorbs the infrared radiation and turns it into heat. The electronic sensors inside the thermometers can measure the heat and read the temperature of the skin after making some calculations （計算）.

However, you might sometimes find that the results aren’t always accurate （準(zhǔn)確的）. It depend on how these devices are used. For example, how far away they are held from the body, how steadily they are held and for how long. Factors such as make-up and sweat will also affect the results.

1.Temperature guns, have been widely used to detect （檢測）the early symptoms of____________.

A.COVID-17. B.COVID-18. C.COVID-19. D.COVID-20.

2.They determine temperature by measuring the energy coming from your____________.

A.skin B.head C.face D.foot

3.The electronic sensors inside the thermometers can measure the heat and read the____________ of the skin.

A.color B.temperature C.light D.structure

4.Which one of the following might not affect the accurate results?

A.The thermometers is too far from the body.

B.The thermometers is held for very long.

C.Make-up and sweat.

D.The thermometer is held steadily at the right time.
