看了解释后也觉得有趣。
In English language punctuation, a serial comma or series comma (also called an Oxford comma or a Harvard comma) is a comma placed immediately before the coordinating conjunction (usually and or or) in a series of three or more terms.

British English allows constructions with or without this comma, while on the other hand it is common and even often considered mandatory in American English.
英式英语允许结构上有或没有连续逗号,反而在美式英语中却被普遍使用,甚至通常被认为是强制使用的。

例句
They went to Oregon with Betty, a maid, and a cook.
理解：蓓蒂，女佣，厨子，三人。女佣蓓蒂，厨子，二人。
They went to Oregon with Betty, a maid and a cook.
理解：女佣兼厨子的蓓蒂，一人。

这个连续逗号有也麻烦，没有也麻烦。

谁的出生率低谁着急

谁的出生率低谁着急
发达国家出生率低发达国家最着急
据说法国就急得不得了，英国也急得火烧眉毛，就直接脱欧了。

出生率低与教育挂钩了。（断章取义法）
One of the most powerful tools in stemming population growth will be education
A more-educated workforce also makes poverty eradication and economic growth easier to achieve.”
Of course, economic growth brings with it another problem: increased consumption.
living the lifestyle of the average American, for example, would require five times the resources we have available on Earth
教育阻止人口增长。教育可以摆脱贫困促进经济发展。发展唤起人的物质需求。平均美式生活水平需要五倍地球资源。
多养一个小孩，要多付五倍的金钱，只有国家全包，估计芬兰才有人口增长的希望。
所以说，谁的出生率低谁着急簇，下放到个人，还是个人吃亏。

这雨天，就是闲。

重温一下语法

"There ARE a lot of animals" is incorrect. "Lot" is the subject of the sentence and it ...

也重温一下语法：
A lot of, lots of with a noun
We use a lot of and lots of in informal styles. Lots of is more informal than a lot of. A lot of and lots of can both be used with plural countable nouns and with singular uncountable nouns for affirmatives, negatives, and questions:

That’s a lot of money.
There weren’t a lot of choices.
Are there a lot of good players at your tennis club?

It is not the phrase a lot of or lots of which determines singular or plural,
but the noun of the sentence (here: water and computers).
Singular
A lot of water is wasted.
Lots of water is wasted.
Plural
A lot of computers are needed at schools.
Lots of computers are needed at schools.

12: Is there going to be any cure for the coronavirus?
Currently, however, there is no cure for this coronavirus, and treatments are based on the kind of care given for influenza (seasonal flu) and other severe respiratory illnesses, known as "supportive care," according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC疾病控制和预防中心).
There is no vaccine for the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. Scientists are working to develop one,
"If everything moves as quickly as possible, the soonest that it could possibly be is about one-and-a-half to two years. That still might be very optimistic,"

第一题属必答题？
1: When and where was the first COVID-19 cases recorded?
From Wikipedia：
The first known patient started experiencing symptoms on 1 December 2019. He had not been to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market of Wuhan. No epidemiological link could be found between this case and later cases.
From BBC：
这是该名早期病患的信息首次获得公开。他被认为于12月1日发病，比武汉官方此前通报的12月8日发病的患者提早了近一周。值得关注的是，他没有华南海鲜市场的暴露史。

Australia will close schools and cancel sporting events in the event of an uncontained coronavirus outbreak, Minister for Health Greg Hunt said on Wednesday, as the government accelerates plans to cope with a possible pandemic.
