This is a song millions of Americans will hear this New Year’s Eve. It is called Auld Lang Syne (《友谊地久天长》)。 It is the traditional music played during the New Year’s celebration. Auld Lang Syne is an old Scottish poem. It tells about the need to remember old friends.
The words “Auld Lang Syne” mean “old long since”. No one knows who wrote the poem first. However, a version (版本) by Scottish poet Robert Burns was published（出版）in 1796. The words and the music we know today first appeared in a songbook three years later.
The song is played in the United States mainly on New Year’s Eve. The version you are hearing today is by the Washington Saxophone Quartet.

On Feb 12， Dalian（not his real name）was taking a train to Changsha， Hunan， for a business trip． While on the train，he went into a carriage（车厢）to have lunch and chose to remain in the carriage．He didn't know that the carriage was only for people heading to Wuhan．
Several hours later， when the train arrived in Wuhan， Dalian was asked to get off， as he was in the special carriage． Although he was surprised， he didn't want to cause trouble and got off the carriage with just a single bag．
Because of the epidemic， Wuhan had been locked down． So Dalian couldn't find a hotel to stay in． Feeling at a loss， he saw a notice online looking for volunteers to work in hospitals． Dalian decided to give it a try．
He soon became a volunteer in Wuhan No.1 Hospital． He was responsible for（对……负责）taking out rubbish，sweeping the floor，disinfecting（消毒）the hospital，dealing with used protective suits（防护服）and bringing meals to patients．
The young man， reportedly from northeast China， had to work 12 hours every day， changing his protective suit three times a day． While working， he couldn't drink anything or go to the bathroom． He also had to have close contact with infected patients， which is risky（冒风险的）．
Dalian was afraid of getting infected at first． "When I entered the wards（病房）， I was kind of frozen（僵硬的）and felt like I couldn't move，" he said． But after he saw more patients get better， his fear gradually went away．
Dalian's story has gone viral（走红的）online． People were surprised by his experience， and described him as having "a heart of gold"．

I caught a cold． It was really a bad cold． Actually， the doctor later told me that I had the flu （流感）．
My head was pounding． My throat was hurting． My body was aching．My voice became hoarse and I could hardly speak．I never experienced anything like this before．Worst of all， my sore throat was so serious that I couldn't even swallow（吞咽）!
I knew I should drink more fluids﹣water， soup or juice ﹣ and maybe take some medicine． But I couldn't． Each time I tried to swallow， it hurt so much． So my dad took me to the hospital．
A doctor came in．He checked my throat．He then checked my lungs．After his examination，he said，"Nothing to worry about． You have the flu．"
"Why is it so serious？" I asked．"Can you give me some medicine so that I don't suffer as much？"
"No，" the doctor said．"No medicine can cure （治愈） your flu． Don't be sad． Your body is an amazing thing． It will cure itself without any help．""What？ My body will fix things on its own？"I cried in disbelief．
Yes， your body's immune system （免疫系统） will fight the virus （病毒） for you． No doctor or medicine will cure you．" repeated the doctor．
My tears rushed out．I had not realized this in the past．Everything had always seemed so natural．I've had my meals every day for thirteen years． I drink water like taking a breath﹣without thinking about it at all．
Now， I understand that even a simple thing like swallowing is like a miracle （奇迹）． The parts of my body do their jobs amazingly well一and yet quietly， without me even noticing．
I don't remember how many days it took me to be well again， but I do remember what my father told me． He said that we should all appreciate our bodies and the miracle of how they are built．
