People all over the world are now taking action to fight against COVID-19. But what they do may depend on their own culture and traditions.

On Feb 26, when an Italian lawmaker (议员) went into the country’s Lower Chamber with a mask to prevent the novel coronavirus, he was criticized (批评) by his workmates for “causing panic (恐慌)”. Articles from Western media carry headlines such as “No, you do not need face masks to prevent coronavirus.” You might be surprised, as in China and other Asian countries, people have willingly put masks on during the outbreak.

Western thoughts about masks

In the West, people are taught to wear masks only when they get sick. Masks are seen as a tool to protect sick people and prevent the disease from spreading, so healthy people don’t need to wear them. Therefore, during the novel coronavirus outbreak, overseas Chinese students said that they would be “stared at like a virus spreader” if they go out with a mask. According to a survey done by Global Times among some European and American people, wearing a mask in public can make 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, many people in the West are changing their attitudes (态度). In the US, for example, the need for masks is very high now. The US surgeon general (卫生局局长) has been asking people to avoid hoarding (囤积) masks, as they are more needed in hospitals than by the general public.

Mask culture in the East

In Asian countries like China and Japan, there has been a long tradition of mask-wearing. In China, for example, when doctor Wu Liande invented the modern medical mask during the pneumonic plague (肺鼠疫) in 1910, the mask became a symbol of China’s position as a modern, scientific nation. The 2003 SARS epidemic again led to the wide use of masks as a form of anti-viral (抗病毒的) protection in China and elsewhere in East Asia.

In Japan, wearing masks has long been seen as a manner to reassure (使安心) others when one catches a cold or flu. Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion accessories (配饰), with different colors and styles to match their clothes. Wearing masks is also a way to “hide” for young women when they don’t have their makeup (化妆) on.

In more collectivist (集体主义的) cultures in Asia, wearing masks might also be a symbol of solidarity (团结) during the outbreak, according to Christos Lynteris. “Mask culture in Asia creates a sense of a fate (命运) shared, common obligation (责任) and civic (公民的) duty.” People wear masks “to show that they want to stick together” in the face of danger, Lynteris wrote.

1.Why don’t healthy people in the West wear masks?

A.They don’t think masks can prevent disease. B.They think masks are for sick people to wear.

C.Only medical workers need to wear masks. D.Wearing a mask looks funny.

2.Masks have been widely used in China since ________.

A.the invention of the modern medical mask B.the pneumonic plague in 1910

A.They wear masks to reassure others when catching a cold or flu.

B.Some Japanese wear masks as fashion accessories.

C.Some young women wear masks when they don’t make up.

D.They wear masks to make others feel worried.

4.What does Lynteris mean in the last paragraph?

A.People have no sense of duty if they don’t wear masks.

B.Mask culture creates a sense of collective obligation.

C.Asian people are more united in the face of danger.

D.We are a community with a shared future for mankind.

请阅读下面材料，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。

During the outbreak of COVID-19, it's true that medical staff is worth our respect and admiration. However, ordinary people are doing their parts in their own way. According to reports, many families try to do whatever can help stay healthy and safe at home.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in mid-January, most places across the country have started emergency（紧急的）rules calling on all the people to stay at home. Following the government's rules, most Chinese people have given up their Spring Festival family gatherings to stay at home. They all wear masks when they have to go out. It's not easy, specially for teenagers.

“Staying at home for more than 25 days is quite challenging, which means I can't have fun with my friends face to face and I feel quite bored and lonely," said Zeng Jingxian, a senior high student. “But as a citizen, I have the duty to do so to protect myself and slow the spread of the virus（病毒）.”

In an interview on Jan 28, the famous Chinese respiratory（呼吸系统）expert Zhong Nanshan suggested that people should not hang out around their cities. This way, it will reduce the risk of infection（传染）. Chinese internet users even sent a video, which translates to “Stay at home until Zhong allows us to go out”.

Actually, following the rules not only control the spread of virus, but also helps people develop a healthier habit in daily life. Since we were very young, our parents and teachers have told us to wash our hands regularly. ln truth, many people forget or don't bother to wash their hands before eating. With the outbreak of the virus, they have started to keep it in mind and practice it with more patience.

Indeed, everyone can't live well without the group. As we deal with a public crisis（危机）, everyone should follow the advice of medical organizations and professionals.

4.Why couldn't we wash our hands regularly?

A.Because there wasn’t virus when we were young.
