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

C.masks can be used in many different ways

D.masks are not useful during a serious epidemic

The fear of the novel coronavirus（新冠病毒） has turned into discrimination (歧视) against certain groups of people,1.(include) people from Wuhan, Chinese people or Asians in general. However, the outbreak of the disease can’t be an excuse to isolate these groups. What we should do is 2.(get) rid of (消除) discrimination and show sympathy (同情) instead.

Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), many people 3.(live) in fear. This is normal, as the disease is infectious (传染性的) and dangerous. However, some people turn pale at the mention of “people from Wuhan or Hubei province”, the center of the outbreak.

Ding Baixing, a doctor at Huashan Hospital in Shanghai, has seen this himself. He treated a suspected (疑似的) patient 4.(name)Chen Hui who traveled from Wuhan to Shanghai. Chen appeared desperate (绝望的) and avoided 5.(keep)in touch with other patients, as he worried that they would be afraid of him.

Chen is not alone. Chen Xue, an editor 6.(work) in Beijing, went to Chongli in Hebei for a ski trip on Jan 23. Though her temperature was fine and she hasn’t been to her hometown – Hubei province – since October last year, the hotel she was in told her that it 7.(will not) receive Hubei guests from the next day.

However, the real enemy is the virus – not the patients or people from Wuhan or Hubei province. Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong echoed this idea in a speech at the Chinese New Year dinner. “Even though the virus started in Wuhan, it doesn’t respect nationality or race (种族). It does not check your passport (护照) before it goes into your body. Anybody can be infected,” he said.

It is not the 8.(patient) fault that they have been infected. There is no reason to blame them. If patients didn’t go to the hospital for fear of discrimination, the virus 9.(spread) to more people. “Protecting them is just as important as protecting ourselves,” Ding said.

Poem that inspires

At the CCTV Spring Festival Gala (春节联欢晚会), six hosts read a poem to inspire people across the country. It called for greater respect for medical workers, as well as called on everyone to work together to fight the virus. One of the lines – “we isolate (隔离) the virus, but we don’t isolate love” – has been 10.(wide) posted online.

Fighting an enemy that we cannot see is terrible. The novel coronavirus（新型冠状病毒） is one of these invisible（看不见的） enemies and it brings us a great disasters. It has infected（感染） 435,519 people in China and other places in the world as of（截至） March 25. It was reported that it killed 3,281 people in China.

But even if we cannot see the virus, we know how it behaves and spreads around. It is just like most other viruses. To prevent any respiratory（呼吸系统）illness, what we can do is to have good personal hygiene（卫生）. And that includes wearing a mask and washing hands. By wearing a mask, we keep ourselves away from the droplets （飞沫）that infected people coughed and （打喷嚏）. These droplets can spread the virus — as far as two meters! But these droplets don’t stay in the air for long. They quickly fall and land on surfaces, like tables or clothes. They can also be passed on to elevator buttons（电梯按钮）and door knobs（把手）by our hands. The novel coronavirus can stay alive for quite a long time on smooth surfaces, so washing hands becomes important.

A new discovery about the virus makes it even more necessary to keep these hygienic habits even if we don’t think we’ve interacted（接触） with anyone infected. According to People’s Daily , there is evidence that the virus might be contagious（有传染性的） even before patients start showing symptoms（症状）. And these people don’t even know that they’re ill yet.

"However, this epidemic（传染病） brings us a positive（积极的） change. It’s that we’ve developed better hygienic habits. After all, washing our hands is really what we should do every day.

Experts hope an experimental drug can be as effective against the novel coronavirus in people as it has been on cells in a controlled lab environment.

The US drug, remdesivir (瑞德西韦), began clinical trials（临床试验）on patients in Wuhan, Hubei province on Thursday. Other medications, including chloroquine, arbidol and darunavir have also recently been found capable of arresting viral growth in lab cells, but like remdesivir, they require more clinical trials to confirm their safety and potency on humans.

The Phase III trials for remdesivir have been approved by China’s National Medical Products Administration and is conducted by the China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing and the Chinese Academy of　 Medical Sciences on patients at the Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital.

“A total of 761 patients will participate in two trials-one trial to assess the drugs' potency on 308 cases with mild or moderate infection, and the other on 453 severely infected patients”, Cao Bin, head of the clinical trial and vice-president of the friendship hospital, said on Wednesday.

Cao said studies have shown remdesivir is effective in inhibiting the growth of the novel coronavirus in vitro(在生物体外), meaning the procedure was done on cells in a controlled environment outside of a living organism, typically in a petri dish or test tube.

But the drug has yet to show convincing clinical evidence that it can translate its positive in vitro results into actual human patients. So, it will require strict clinical testing, Cao said.

A 35-year-old patient from the United States infected with the virus was reported seeing noticeable improvement with no obvious side effects after taking the drug, according to the New England Journal of Medicine.

Gilead Sciences, the maker of remdesivir, said in a recent statement that it has been working with government agencies on the novel coronavirus response efforts.

However, the company stressed that remdesivir is an experimental medicine that has only been used in a handful of patients, “so we do not have an appropriately full understanding of the effect of this drug ”.

1.Why does the US drug, remdesivir, began clinical trials?

A.To replace the traditional medicine.

B.To confirm their safety and potency on humans.

C.To show whether remdesivir is effective in inhibiting the growth of the novel coronavirus in vitro.

D.To see how it takes effect.

2.What is true according to the passage?

A.After taking the drug, a 35-year-old patient was infected with the virus.

B.Doctors had seen noticeable success treating a 35-year-old patient infected with the virus.

C.Remdesivir can cure those who are infected with the novel coronavirus.

D.Chinese Hospital does The Phase III trials independently.

3.What’s the author's attitude towards the clinical trial of remdesivir?

A.Negative. B.Critical. C.Positive. D.Gloomy.

4.Where is this text most likely from?

A.A diary. B.A guidebook. C.A novel. D.A magazine.

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.
