PARIS — Until a few weeks ago, Asian tourists were 1 only mask wearers in Paris, 2(cause) puzzlement or suspicion from French locals or even hostility as the coronavirus began sweeping across Europe.

Four days into a national lockdown to stem the outbreak, the French government spokeswoman, Sibeth Ndiaye, warned that face masks were so 3 (familiar) that wearing them was too difficult technically and could even be “counterproductive (适得其反).” Even Thursday morning, when 4 (ask) whether she wore a mask or made her children wear one, she said, “Oh, no, not at all.”

This taboo is falling fast, not only in France but across Western countries, after increasing 5(cry) from experts who say the practice is effective in curbing the coronavirus pandemic.

The shift for Western nations is profound and has had to overcome not merely the logistical challenges of securing enough masks, which are significant enough, but also a deep 6 (culture) resistance and even stigma (污名) associated with mask-wearing, 7 some Western leaders described flatly as “alien.”

8 (seem), it won’t be for much longer. After discouraging people from wearing face masks, France, like the United States, has begun urging its citizens 9 (wear) basic or homemade ones outside. And some parts of Europe are moving faster than the United States by requiring masks instead 10 simply recommending their use.

But so far the novel coronavirus3( create) an almost parental leave-like situation for many people.

"There's no doubt4animals provide incredible comfort and companionship, especially during times of crisis- and they5(certain) appreciate the attention- so we encourage people 6(continue) to adopt animals in need," said Malt Bershadker, president and chief executive of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

【题目】 I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010.We were in financial trouble,so she said politely,"Sorry,son,but we can't now.”

I googled the measurements for a keyboard,drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk.I would click notes on an online keyboard and"play"them back on my paper one-keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head.I spent 6 months playing without touching a real piano.Once my mom saw that I was serious,she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.

I still remember the first one.I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was.I sat my Grade 1 after 8 lessons.Once I started secondary school,we couldn't afford lessons again.I passed Grade 3,and then Grade 5,practicing only on my piece of paper.One evening,when I was about 13,my mom said she had a surprise for me-it was an electronic keyboard,bought with more borrowed money.It was the first time that I'd played for her and she was in shock.

My school didn't offer music A-level.I found the Purcell School for young musicians,but the tryouts were difficult.Some of the questions even involved an evaluation of the composer.I was at a loss.But to my amazement,I was offered a place.At Purcell,I spent 2 years working as hard as I could.I performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano.When I left Purcell,I was awarded the senior piano prize and academic music prize.I'm now at the Guildhall School in London.I feel proud-it's been 10 years since I drew my paper piano,and I'm at one of the world's leading music schools.

Surprisingly,I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano:what we call mental practice.The paper piano helped motivate my curiosity about how music works.
