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 “ca using pa nic” (制造恐慌). But why do the East and West have different ideas about wearing masks? Let’s take a look.
In the West, people should wear masks only when they get sick. People see masks as a tool to protect sick people and stop disease from spreading, so healthy people don’t need to wear them. 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.
In Asian countries like China and Japan, wearing masks is common. During the 2003 SARS epidemic(流行病), people in China and East Asia also used masks to protect themselves. Many Chinese also like to wear masks to stay warm in winter or protect against air pollution.
In Japan, wearing masks shows your politeness when you get a cold or flu. Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion accessories. They have different colors and patterns to choose to match their clothes. Some young women wear masks when they don’t have their makeup (化妆) on. Many pop stars in Asia also use masks to protect their privacy. This cultural and historical background has made it easier for people in the East to wear masks when epidemics break out.
67. 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.
68. In the past, people in the West wore masks when .
A. they themselves were sick
B. they were talking to doctors
C. they were shy or worried
D. they went outdoors
69. From the story, what might people use masks to do in Japan?
a. Show politeness.
b. Protect privacy.
c. Look fashionable.
d. Protect their make up.
A. abc
