【2】Having a house guest can be a positive experience for all involved, if both are considerate. That means, hopefully, you and your house guests will agree upon the dates and duration of their visit and other relevant details before their arrival.

If it's too late for that, start dropping hints now. 【3】For example, you can say, “It has been so lovely having you stay with us.” If your guests don't seem to be getting the message, a little white lie may be necessary.

Next time, set clearer boundaries from the start. That means your house guests should ask for permission to stay with you, not just assume they can. Make it clear that you need advanced notice, too—no last-minute surprise visits. 【4】

During a visit, encourage house guests to do some stuff on their own. Let them know they're welcome to grab a snack when they're hungry. 【5】It empowers them to be self-sufficient—and you get a breather, too.

A.They are not paying for the room

B.Hopefully, your guests will understand

C.Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days

D.Ideally, settle the details before not during the visit

E.And if the dates they suggest don't work for you, say no

F.Establish healthy boundaries with loved ones is essential

G.Make themselves a cup of coffee or leave the house when they please

The Chinese Doctor Who Beat the Plague (鼠疫)

In October 1910, 【1】 mysterious illness appeared in the city of Manzhouli, 【2】 the Russian and Chinese border. It spread swiftly, killing 99.9% of its victims.

The Qing Imperial court had sent Malayan-born, Cambridge-educated Dr. Wu Lien-teh north to stop the epidemic (流行病) 【3】 it spread to the rest of the empire.

Dr. Wu set up special quarantine (隔離) units and ordered blockades to stop 【4】 (infect) persons from traveling and spreading the disease. He had teams 【5】 (check) households for possible cases, and even managed to convince Russian and Japanese authorities to 【6】 (complete) close the railways in the early weeks of 1911.

The pneumonic plague outbreak of 1910-1911 lasted nearly four months, 【7】 (affect) five provinces and six major cities and accounted for over 60,000 deaths. It is clear that without the brave and decisive action taken by Dr. Wu it could have been much 【8】 (bad).

If the epidemic 【9】 (go) unchecked, allowing holiday rail passengers to spread the disease to the rest of China, it could have meant a catastrophic loss of life and possibly caused a global health crisis.

For a time, Dr. Wu was the world’s most famous plague 【10】 (fight).

The world is quickly realizing what much it depends on China. Apple is worried about its supply chains. Ikea is closing their stores and paying staff members when they staying home. Starbucks is warned for a financial blow by some authorities. The coronavirus has virtually shut down one of the world's most important growth engine. Desperate to slow the fast-moving virus, the Chinese authorities had extended the country's national holiday, and crippled land, rail or air transport. The full extent of the hit to the broader business world is not yet clearly. "Our the members are dealing with the present trouble,”saying the senior vice president of the US-China Business Council, Jake Parker.

Childhood is an unforgettable time full of funny and amazed stories. Be a child, I wrote my last will. All my toys are to go to our cat, my room—to Tom, the local beggar who always said “hi" to me kind. My textbook about politeness was to go to my brother, so we had had a fight not long before. I brought the list to my aunt, who was the lawyer. She sent copy of my list to all our relatives and then put the original on her desk in to a frame. That way, I laughed at by not only my family but all my customers.
