Almost everyone in China now wears masks to stop the COVID 19(新冠肺炎), many people in Western countries don't seem to want to do the same. For example, an Italian lawmaker was criticized by his coworkers when he went to work with a mask. They said he made them nervous. 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, for example. People see masks as a tool to protect sick people and stop disease from spreading(传播), so healthy people don't need to wear them. But as the number of the COVID 19 cases is growing around the world, people in the West are changing their ideas.
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 2003 SARS epidemic(流行病), 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 accessories(配饰). 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. 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.In the past, people in the West wore masks when ________．
A．they were sick B．they were talking to doctors
C．they were shy or worried D．they went outdoors
3.Where was the modern medical mask invented
A．In the UK. B．In Japan. C．In China. D．In the US.
4.The reasons why Asian people like to wear masks do NOT include ________．
A．stopping disease from spreading
B．protecting against air pollution
C．looking fashionable
D．protecting their privacy
5.What is the story mainly about
A．Why masks are popular in Asian culture.
B．The importance of wearing masks during epidemics.
C．Why Western people don't wear masks during epidemics.
D．Masks mean different things in different cultures.
B
China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilogram of beef at a time.
However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.
The difference could be due to different climates.
Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet climate in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.
1. In southern China, people usually buy ______ at a time.
A. a small amount of food B. a large amount of food
C. enough food for a week D. a lot of meat and vegetables
2. If you buy fruits in the south, the shop owners may _______.
A. peel and cut them for you B. laugh at you
C. only sell them in boxes and baskets D. only sell a single apple or pear
3. Many northern Chinese have the habit of keeping food because ________.
A. the climate is hot and wet B. food goes bad quickly
C. the climate is cold and dry D. they live far away from markets
4. The underlined words “due to” mean “_____” in Chinese.
A. 所以 B. 但是 C. 然而 D. 因为
5. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Different Climates in China
B. Different Living Habits in China
C. Southern Chinese and Northern Chinese
D. Southern China and Northern China

After a busy morning at work, lunchtime gives me a chance to do many things, such as exercising, reading or watching TV. One cultural difference I’ve noticed 1. Britain and China is what we do during lunchtime.
Here in China, workers have longer lunch breaks, which gives them enough time to take a short nap(午睡). Therefore, Chinese people usually use lunchtime to have a break. I often see office workers 2. their heads on their desks. The room turns into a quiet “bedroom”. Once, I even 3. workers in a restaurant taking short naps as well. This is also very common for students in China. After lunch, they will go back to their dormitories(宿舍) or classrooms to take a nap.

九、阅读理解
A
Almost everyone in China now wears masks to stop the COVID 19(新冠肺炎), many people in Western countries don't seem to want to do the same. For example, an Italian lawmaker was criticized by his coworkers when he went to work with a mask. They said he made them nervous. 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, for example. People see masks as a tool to protect sick people and stop disease from spreading(传播), so healthy people don't need to wear them. But as the number of the COVID 19 cases is growing around the world, people in the West are changing their ideas.
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 2003 SARS epidemic(流行病), 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 accessories(配饰). 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. 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.In the past, people in the West wore masks when ________．
A．they were sick B．they were talking to doctors
C．they were shy or worried D．they went outdoors
3.Where was the modern medical mask invented

4.The reasons why Asian people like to wear masks do NOT include ________．

C．looking fashionable
D．protecting their privacy
5.What is the story mainly about
A．Why masks are popular in Asian culture.
B．The importance of wearing masks during epidemics.
C．Why Western people don't wear masks during epidemics.
D．Masks mean different things in different cultures.

B
China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilogram of beef at a time.
However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.
The difference could be due to different climates.
Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet climate in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.
1. In southern China, people usually buy ______ at a time.
A. a small amount of food B. a large amount of food
C. enough food for a week D. a lot of meat and vegetables
2. If you buy fruits in the south, the shop owners may _______.
A. peel and cut them for you B. laugh at you
C. only sell them in boxes and baskets D. only sell a single apple or pear
3. Many northern Chinese have the habit of keeping food because ________.
A. the climate is hot and wet B. food goes bad quickly
C. the climate is cold and dry D. they live far away from markets
4. The underlined words “due to” mean “_____” in Chinese.
A. 所以 B. 但是 C. 然而 D. 因为
5. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Different Climates in China
B. Different Living Habits in China
C. Southern Chinese and Northern Chinese
D. Southern China and Northern China
