On Feb 26, when an Italian lawmaker went into the country's Lower Chamber with a mask to prevent the novel coronavirus£¨Ð¹ڲ¡¶¾£©, he was questioned and criticized by others as they thought that wearing masks would cause unnecessary fear and panic. The articles from Western media carry headlines such as ¡°No, you do not need face masks to prevent novel coronavirus.¡± You might be surprised, as in China and other Asian countries, people have willingly put masks on during the outbreak.

In the West, people are taught to wear masks only when they get sick. They thought masks are seen as a tool to protect sick people and prevent the disease from spreading, so healthy people don't need to wear them. Therefore, during the novel coronavirus outbreak, overseas Chinese students said that they would be ¡°looked 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¡± and ¡°afraid of being looked at differently.¡±

But as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to grow in the world, things start to change. In the US, for example, the need for masks is very high now. The US surgeon general has been asking people not to buy too many masks, as they are more needed in hospitals than the public.

In Japan, wearing masks has long been seen as a manner to comfort others when one catches a cold or flu. Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion, with different colors and patterns to match their clothes. Wearing masks is also a way to ¡°hide¡± for young women when they don't have their makeup on.

In more cultures in Asia, wearing masks might also be a symbol of solidarity£¨ÍŽᣩduring the outbreak, according to Lynteris. People wear masks ¡°to show that they want to stick together¡± in the face of danger.

2.Westerners refuse to wear masks because they ________.

A national survey was carried out in Australia on how children aged eight to sixteen read news. The survey found children as young as eight were interested in news. However, the spread of wrong information makes it difficult for children to understand events. The survey also found only one-third of young people felt they could tell whether news they read was real or not.

Here are what adults can do to help children critically (ÅúÅеØ) think about the news.

To help decide if a source (À´Ô´) can be trusted, they can ask the following questions. Is it clear who created this news? Viewers need to be able to ask the person or organization about why and how they created the story. Does it present facts straight or does it include opinions? If opinions are presented as facts, this may lead to wrong ideas. Does it include all the important people? If a story speaks up for organizations or groups of people, they should have the chance to reply to these opinions.

Some media may make use of people¡¯s feelings. Discussing how children feel about news helps them decide which news programs to watch. Research shows sensationalist (ËÊÈËÌýÎŵÄ) news titles can receive more clicks online. Adults can also talk to children why people spread wrong information, such as changing people¡¯s mind on who to vote for or attracting more clicks.

News media talk about events in different ways. Parents and teachers can help children be careful while reading stories. In some stories people can¡¯t present their ideas honestly. In these cases, it¡¯s best to find other news sources to consider how they are reporting the story. Discussing what children think of the news can help build their critical thinking skills.

News that can be trusted is important to society. People depend on it to help make decisions in lives. Seeing how wrong information is different from real news is a challenge for everyone at present. Listening to children¡¯s experiences is a valuable starting point for improving their critical thinking abilities.
