27、all over the world are now taking action to fight against COVID-19. But what they do maydepend on their own culture and traditions.On Feb 26, when an Italian lawmaker went into the countrys Lower Chamber with a mask toprevent the novel coronavirus, he was criticized by his workmates for “causing pan

28、ic”. Articles fromWestern media carry headlines such as “No, you do not need face masks to prevent coronavinus.” Youmight be surprised, as in China and other Asian countries, people have willingly put masks on duringthe outbreak.Western thoughts about masksIn the West, people are taught to wear mask

29、s only when they get sick. Masks are seen as a tool toprotect sick people and prevent the disease from spreading, so healthy people dont 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 o

30、ut with a mask. According to asurvey done by Global Timesamong 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 theWest are

31、 changing their attitudes. In the US, for example, the need for masks is very high now. The USsurgeon general has been asking people to avoid hoarding masks, as they are more needed in hospitalsthan by the general public.Mask culture in the EastIn Asian countries like China and Japan, there has been

32、 a long tradition of mask-wearing. In China,for example, when doctor Wu Liande invented the modem medical mask during the pneumonic plague(肺鼠疫) in 1910, the mask became a symbol of Chinas position as a modern, scientific nation. The 2003 SARS epidemic again led to the wide use of masks as a form of

33、anti-viral protection in China andelsewhere in East Asia.In Japan, wearing masks has long been seen as a manner to reassure others when one catches a coldor flu. Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion accessories, with different colours and styles tomatch their clothes. Wearing masks is also a w

34、ay to “hide” for young women when they dont have theirmakeup on.In more collectivist cultures in Asia, wearing masks might also be a symbol of solidarity during theoutbreak, according to Christos Lynteris. “Mask culture in Asia creates a sense of a fate shared,commonobligation and civil duty.” Peopl

35、e wear masks “to show that they want to stick together” in the face ofdanger, Lynteris wrote.41. Why dont healthy people in the West wear masks?A. They dont think masks can prevent disease.B.

According to recent studies, the answer is yes:Music helps develop certain .language abilities in the brain.A study from Northwester University shows that playing a musi

40、cal instrument can improveapersons hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in anoisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had nomusical training. The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking

41、person more clearly.Musicians hear better, says study leader Nina Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certainsounds. For example, when the violinists play in an orchestra, they must listen closely to what they areplaying and ignore the other sounds. In this way, musicians can hear certain

42、sounds better, even in aroom with lots of noise.Gottfried Schlaug, doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to fi

43、nd singing words helped his patientsfinally speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isnt sure. Music seems to be able to make different partsof the brain active, including the bad parts. In some way, this helps patientsuse those parts of the brain again.So, music is not only enjoyable, but also good for
