After a new-type coronavirus was detected in viral pneumonia cases in Central China's Wuhan city a month ago, more cases have been reported in recent days. To prevent catching the infection, here's what you can do:
1. Wear masks outdoors
• Wearing a mask is one of the most effective ways to protect you from getting infected as the virus is predominantly spread in droplets.
• Make sure to wear it properly by tightening up the nose clip and pulling the bottom of it over your chin so that your nose and mouth are both covered.
• If you're not feeling well or have symptoms such as cough, fever, fatigue and trouble breathing, a mask is also needed to prevent you from spreading germs to others.
• Medical masks used by medical workers are not recommended for common people as they may lead to oxygen deficient if worn for long periods.
2. Cover your coughs and sneeze with tissue
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or you can cough or sneeze into your sleeve, but avoid covering with your hands directly.
(A healthy adult can release around 300,000 microbes including bacteria and viruses when coughing or sneezing.)
3. Wash your hands frequently and properly
Wash your hands with soap and running water thoroughly for at least 15 seconds, especially:
• Before eating and after using the toilet
• After returning home
• After touching trash or garbage
• After contacting with animals or handling animal wastes
4. Strengthen your immune system and exercise regularly
• Exercise regularly is one of the most important ways to help you stay away from catching any infections.
• Make sure that shared spaces have good air flow and avoid going to crowded places such as hospitals, railway stations and airports. Wear a mask if transport or movement is necessary.
• Seek prompt medical attention if you have symptoms of fever and respiratory infection.
• Avoid close contact with people who have flu or cold-like symptoms.
• Eat thoroughly cooked meat and eggs. Avoid contact with wild animals or farmed livestock without any protection.

C. Wash your hands frequently and properly
D. Protect yourself and others from getting sick
E. If transport or movement is necessary
F. If you’re not feeling well or have symptoms of fever
G. To prevent catching the infection, here’s what you can do
【思路點撥】做題順序為：2，4，1，3，5
2，4空有逗號，所以從AEF中選。
【詞的角度】A選項代詞為we，2空後代詞為you，故A排除；4空上下句的代詞為you，或沒有，故4也不能選A。
F選項代詞為you，not feel well 與逗號後spreading germs(細菌) 近意替換。故2空選F
【詞的角度】（正選法）E選項出現 transport 和movement，都和動相關，上一句話，出現了：hospitals, railway stations and airports，這些地方都是去一下就離開的，故選E。（排除法）AEF中，A不對，F已經選了，故選E。
1空，【篇的角度】總分結構，G選項彙總here’s what you can do（總） 與下文分結構對應。
3空，【句的角度】BCD中選，下文是wash hand，故選C。
5空，還剩下ABD，A是半句話，排除，還剩BD。【詞的角度】B選項沒有代詞，暗含代詞為you，D選項代詞為yourself and others，上下文要們沒有代詞，要麼代詞為you，未出現others，故選B
故答案為：GFCEB
