Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teache

In fact, many people have experienced feelings like W
22、u.Nearly 80 percent of people are deeply worried about the outbreak, while 40percent strongly fear it, according to a survey released on Jan 27 by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. These emotions ( 情 绪 ) are normal for people who are going through stressful events, according to Wang Weihua, an
23、 expert on positive psychology (积极心理学). Some stressful reactions ( 反 应 ) can help us fight the virus, Wang said. We take more protective actions, such as wearing masks and washing hands often, for example. But if these feelings last too long, it will be bad for our mental health, Wang added. So how
24、can we stay positive? First, we should learn to accept unexpected changes in life,wrote Xiong Kewei, a psychological consultant (咨询师) at Beijing Normal University. We might learn new lessons from these changes, like respecting (尊重) nature and being more responsible (有担当的). Another useful way to stay
25、 positive is to stick to a normal routine (正常作息). The key is to take good care of the body, arrange a reasonable schedule, ensure adequate sleep and diet, and get the necessary rest and relaxation, Zhang Hong, deputy chief physician of Wuhan Mental Health Center, told China Daily. 4.

29、event the novel coronavirus, he was criticized ( 批评) by his colleagues 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
30、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 dont need to wear them. Therefore, during the novel coronavirus outbrea
31、k, 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. Bu
32、t 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 i
33、n 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 symb
34、ol of Chinas position as a modern, scientific nation, according to Scottish medical anthropologist ( 人类学家) Christos Lynteris. 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 bee
35、n 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 patterns to match their clothes. Wearing masks is also a way to hide for young women when they dont have their makeup (化妆) on. In more c
36、ollectivist (集体主义的) cultures in Asia, wearing masks might also be a symbol of solidarity ( 团 结 ) during the outbreak, according to 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

41、el coronavirus epidemic when a great number of people are falling ill all at the same time. The conditions in the US are getting worse quickly, which is largely due to the fact that theres no universal healthcare system. According to the 2019 US Census, 28 million people are not covered or do not ha
42、ve adequate health insurance, meaning that they would probably avoid getting tested for the virus, for fear of the cost of being hospitalized. There is a strong financial incentive (动机) to conceal (隐瞒) symptoms, to try to keep working and caring for children, and by consequence, theyre spreading the
43、 virus simply because they have no other choice, wrote reporter James Hamblin on The Atlantic. Germany, on the contrary, has one of the worlds best-developed and most expensive public healthcare systems that covers every citizen. People in Germany who have high levels of job security, according to t

The conditions to deal with the virus in Germany are am
45、ong the best in the world, said German Chancellor Angela Merkel, according to the Los Angeles Times. Japan also has universal public healthcare, but it brings another kind of problem: People tend to seek more medical care than necessary. According to Yusuke Tsugawa, a physician at Harvard University
46、, Japan has three times more outpatient visits than in the US, and patients also stay in hospital for three times longer than in the US. This often wastes medical resources, which are even more critical and precious during a global pandemic. It isnt good to do tests just to ease public anxiety, Kent
47、aro Iwata, an infectious ( 传 染 的 ) disease expert at Kobe University, Japan, told Reuters. If they test everyone with light symptoms, the medical system will puncture (破损).
