Because of the novel coronavirus, it is useful for many people to wear masks to avoid illness. In fact, masks have been helping humans for centuries. Let’s take a look at something about masks.

1st century

During that period, many people in Roman Empire lived a hard life and had to work underground in mines to support their families. But after several years’ work, most of them had difficulty breathing normally and finally died. To solve this problem, Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD), a Roman philosopher and naturalist, recommended the use of animal bladder ( 膀 胱 ) skins to stop dust from being taken in. After that, his idea was considered the very first recorded mask invention.

16th century

Early inventions did not stop with Pliny. Many centuries later, Italian artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), put forward a suggestion of using a wet cloth over the face to protect against the harmful chemicals.

19th century

The design of the mask took a big step forward in the 19th century. In 1848, American Lewis Hassley started to patent (注册) a protective mask for miners, which was a landmark. Masks at this stage were similar to gas masks. Later, in 1897, Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikulicz-Radecki designed a simple mask made of one layer of gauze ( 纱 布 ), recommending medical workers to wear it to prevent infection. Since then, surgical masks have appeared.

20th century

In 1910, an epidemic broke out in Northeast China. Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called “Wu’s mask”. Made of two layers of surgical

gauze, it could be wrapped (缠绕) around the back of the head and tied in a knot. This mask was praised by experts around the world, as it was easier to make and had a lower production cost.

Modern exploration

With the development of science technology, the materials in masks have been improved to better protect its wearer. For example, in 2012 when China suffered from smog, mask models such as N95 and KN90 became highly popular. In the future, masks will continue to improve, hopefully so will the habits of humans.

It is also kind of overseas Chinese to___________ (捐献) a lot of things to Wuhan.

Many people give a helping hand to those in need___________ (没有) leaving their names.

—Every day I need to take some online lessons. But now I can’t find my mobile phone.

—Don’t worry. My sister’s phone is here. You can use___________ (她的) phone.

__________(锻炼) has become part of my daily life while staying at home.

Thanks to the doctors and nurses, I can be safe and become a___________(幸运的) man.

    People have many different ways to relax during break time at work or school. Smartphones are probably the number one choice for a quick mental vacation. Although it might seem like a good time, looking at your cellphone may harm your mental power, according to a recent psychological study from Rutgers University in the United States.

For the study, more than 400 students were asked to finish a set of 20 word puzzles. Halfway through the task, the students were divided into three groups. Group one was allowed to take a break and use cellphones to buy things online. Group two was asked to have a rest and buy things using a computer. The last group didn’t take any break at all.

Interestingly, the group that used their cellphones during the break went back to work feeling the most tired and did not want to continue. They also had the hardest time solving the remaining word puzzles. The cellphone group took 19 percent longer to finish the rest of the task, and solved 22 percent fewer problems than those in the other break conditions combined.

Terri Kurtzberg, co-author of the study, explained that they assumed looking at cellphones during a break would be no different from any other break---but instead, the phone may increase levels of distraction that make it difficult to pay attention to work tasks.

“Cellphones may have this effect because even just seeing your phone remind you of checking messages, connecting with people and more, in ways that are different from how we use other screens like computers, and laptops,” Kurtzberg told Science Daily.

So, during your next break, try putting your smartphone away. Go out for a walk, get to know your classmates or even take a little sleep. You may be surprised by the results!

C

I was at a dinner in London given in honor of one of the most celebrated English military men of his time, General Scoresby. I cannot describe my excitement when I saw this great and famous man. There he sat, the man himself, in person, all covered with medals. I could not take my eyes off him.

Next to me sat a man, who was an old friend of mine. During the first half of his life he was a teacher in the military school at Woolwich. There was a strange look in his eyes as he leaned toward me and whispered --- “Privately-he is a complete fool.” He meant, of course, the hero of our dinner.

This came as a shock to me. I looked hard at my friend. But I was sure of two things about my friend. He always spoke the truth. And, his judgment of men was good. Therefore, I wanted to find out more about our hero as soon as I could.

These are his exact words:

About forty years ago, I was a teacher in the military school at Woolwich, when young Scoresby was given his first examination. I felt extremely sorry for him. Everybody answered the questions well, intelligently, while he— why, dear me— he did not know anything. Well, all through his studies, I stood by him, with the feeling a mother has for a disabled child. Then, the Crimean War broke out. He joined the army. I said to myself that I must go with him and protect the nation and him as far as I could. So, I joined up with him. And away we went to the field.

The battle grew hotter. One mistake now would bring total disaster. And what did Scoresby do this time—he just mistook his left hand for his right hand... that was all. An order came for him to fall back and support our right. Instead, he moved forward and went over the hill to the left. And what did we find? A large and unknown Russian army waiting! And what happened—those surprised Russians thought it must be the whole British army. They turned tail, away they went over the hill and down into the field in wild disorder, and we after them. In no time, there was the greatest  turn around you ever saw. We turned defeat into a sweeping and shining victory.

Scoresby became famous that day as a great military leader-honored throughout the world. That honor will never disappear while history books last.

1.At first, the writer ___________General Scoresby a lot.

A.disliked B.admired C.helped D.taught

2.The writer felt ___________when his friend whispered something to him.

A.proud B.guilty C.excited D.surprised

3.Young Scoresby did     at his school work in his class.

A.the worst B.well C.commonly D.the best

4.How did the British army turn defeat into a sweeping and shining victory?

A.The weather was too hot then.

B.The whole British army came.

C.The Russians mistook them for the whole army.

D.The Russians could not tell the right and the left.

5.From the story, we can learn that Scoresby is a man full of ___________.

A.cleverness B.honesty C.kindness D.luck
