During the novel coronavirus outbreak, hospitals all over China have used smart technology to care for patients and make work easier for doctors. The outbreak will help smart healthcare develop faster in China, according to Xinhua.

Robots lend a hand

Robots are being used to fight the virus. For example, medical workers at the Third People’s Hospital of Shenzhen are using robots to do routine (常规的) medical tasks.

Developed by Chinese AI company UB Tech, these robots can offer medical advice, deliver (递送）medicines and disinfect (消毒) wards (病房) and other areas. They can also check temperatures, according to China Daily.

Liu Yue, head of the hospital’s fever outpatient services (发热门诊), said the robots have made work much easier. “It greatly reduces our burden (负担), and it can also prevent us from missing infected patients,” Liu said.

Remote (远程的) healthcare services

It can be dangerous for medical workers and patients to come into contact ( 接 触 ) with each other. But with remote medical services, doctors at different hospitals can share photos and videos to come up with the best treatment. China’s three biggest telecom companies are providing hospitals across the country with 5G support. This allows them to transfer(传送) large amounts of data (数据) quickly.

For example, on Feb 27, doctors in the cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou used 5G technology to treat a severely (严重地) ill 67-year-old patient in Wuhan, according to China Daily. By diagnosing (诊断) patients remotely, doctors can protect both themselves and their patients.

AI makes work more efficient (高效的)

Ask Bob is an AI-powered consultation ( 咨 询 ) platform. Developed by Ping An Smart Healthcare, it can provide users with information about the virus, help people do medical self-checks, check their mental ( 心 理 的 ) health and choose the right face masks, according to China Daily.

Ping An Smart Healthcare has also developed AI software that can read CT images and provide accurate ( 准 确 的 ) analyses (分析) to doctors. This can speed up the diagnostic process and allow doctors to give faster treatment.

You might be surprised, as in China and other Asian countries, almost everyone wears a mask during outbreaks. Why do the East and the West have different ideas about wearing masks?

In the West people are taught to wear masks only when they get sick. Some European, American people say wearing a mask in public makes them feel "worried", "shy", and "afraid of being looked at differently."

But as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to grow around the world, people in the West are changing their attitudes. In the US, for example, many healthy people are staring wear masks now to protect themselves.

In Asian countries like China and Japan, wearing masks is common. In 1910, Chinese doctor Wu Liande invented the modern medical mask. Many Chinese also like to wear masks stay warm in winter or protect against air pollution.

In Japan, wearing masks shows your politeness when you get a cold. Many pop stars in Asia also use masks to protect their privacy(隐私). This cultural and historical background have made in the East wear masks more willingly when epidemics(流行病) break out.

People all over the world are now taking action to fight against the novel coronavirus. But how they behave may depend on their own culture and traditions. Let's take a look.

When everyone in China is wearing masks to stop the novel coronavirus, many people in Western countries don't seem to want to do the same. For example, an Italian lawmaker was criticized (批评)by his coworkers when he went to work with a mask. They said he was "causing panic"(恐慌). But why do the East and West have different ideas about wearing masks? Let's take a look.

Western ideas about masks

In the West, people should wear masks only when they get sick—chronic allergies(慢性过敏) or infectious(传染的)diseases. People see masks as a tool to protect sick people and stop disease from spreading, so healthy people don't　 need to wear them. Therefore, during the novel coronavirus outbreak, people would be "treated as a virus spreader" if they go out with a mask.　 Some European and American people say wearing a mask outdoors makes them feel "worried", "shy", and "afraid of being looked at differently."

But as the number of COVID-19 cases is growing around the world, people in the West are changing their ideas. In the US, for example, many healthy people are starting to wear masks now to protect themselves.

Mask culture in the East

In Asian countries like China and Japan, wearing masks is common. In 1910, Chinese doctor Wu Liande invented the modern medical mask during the pneumonic plague(肺鼠疫). Since then, masks have been a symbol of China's position as a modern, scientific nation，according to Scottish medical anthropologist(人类学家)Christos Lynteris. During the 2003 SARS epidemic(传染病), people in China and East Asia also used masks to protect themselves.

In Japan, wearing masks shows your politeness when you get a cold or flu. Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion. They have different colors and patterns to choose to match their clothes. Some young women wear masks when they don't have their makeup on. Many pop stars in Asia also use masks to protect their privacy(隐私). This cultural and historical background has made it easier for people in the East to wear masks when epidemics break out.

1.What did the coworkers think of the Italian lawmaker?

A.He was too worried to work. B.He made other people nervous.

C.He was unwilling to go to work. D.He was just trying to protect himself.

2.From the story, what might people use masks to do in Japan?

a. Show politeness.　 b. Protect privacy.　 c. Look fashionable. d. Protect their makeup.

A.abc B.bcd C.acd D.abd

3.From the story, we know that________.

A.healthy people in the West will never wear masks

B.wearing masks is the only way to protect ourselves

Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia, many people are wearing mask to reduce the risk of infections (感染). It’s a very simple but incredibly useful method to protect oneself from a variety of harmful things. In fact, masks have been helping mankind for centuries.

1st century

In that era, many people in Roman Empire work underground in mines to support their families. But most of them suffered from and even died of respiratory (呼吸的) illness. To solve this problem. Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) a Roman naturalist, recommended the use of animal skins to stop dust from being breathed. His ideas was considered the very first recorded mask inventions.

16th century

Many centuries later, the artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) in Italy, suggested using a wet cloth over the face to protect against the poisonous chemicals.

19th century

The design of the mask took a big forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to patent (注册专利) a protective mask for miners. Masks at this stage were similar to gas mask Later. in 1897. Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikulicz Radecki designed a simple mask with one layer of gauze (纱布), recommending medical workers to wear it to prevent infection. That was the first recorded use of masks for surgeons.

20th century

In 1910, a terrible disease broke out in Northeast China Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called “Wu’s mask”. Made of two layers of surgical gauze, it could be fixed around the back of the head and tied in a knot. This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was simple to make and had a low production cost.

Modern exploration

With several outbreaks of infectious diseases and the flu and the rise of pollution caused by industrial waste, the materials in masks have continued to evolve ( 进 化 ) to better protect its wearer. For example, in 2012 when China suffered from smog, mask models such as N95 and KN90, which can filter out this fine particulate (微粒) matter, become highly popular.
