The UK physicist Isaac Newton once said “Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy（傻子）.”Indeed，Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow he rules. But if we break the rules，she is likely to be cruel and lash out at（抨击）us.
The outbreak of COVID-19 in China and some other countries at the beginning of this year is an example. According to some experts，the novel coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host（中间宿主）.
It’s once believed that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan , Hubei Province where live wild animals were sold.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr. Peter Daszak，president of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said. “ This outbreak is a lesson to us. On a global scale（规模），human population density（密度），wildlife diversity，and land use change are what drive new pandemics（流行病）.”
In ancient times，people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe（敬畏）. For example，the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans Ancient Chinese people always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings. However，as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools，people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings，genetically modify（改变）plants，capture some wild and rare animals to suit their own needs. In this process，humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance. For example cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build up in the atmosphere and it contributes to global warming。
Although we don’t know for sure what first caused the COVID-19 outbreak. Brian Lamacraft said it’s time to “reflect on our relationship with our planet” and “reconnect with this world and everything that we’ re been given”. After all, according to the US poet Gary Snyder, “Nature is not the place to visit. It’ s our home.”

A. Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals.
B. It’s impossible to prevent new pandemics globally.
C. We should stop the wildlife trade around the world.
D. Humans should live peacefully nature.
2. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5
A. How human beings become their own masters.
B. How human activities cause global warming.
