22、
We touch our faces all the time, and it had never seemed to be a big problem–until COVID-19 arrived. Touching our faces–the "T-zone" of our eyes, nose and mouth in particular–can mean giving ourselves the deadly virus.
This is why organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have suggested that we avoid touching our faces. "Just stop this simple behavior," William Sawyer, founder of Henry the Hand, a nonprofit organization that promotes hand hygiene (卫生), told The Washington Post. "It's the one behavior that would be better than any vaccine ever created."
Yet, stopping this "simple" behavior might be harder than you think because it's already into our system.
Some face touching is an automatic reflex (反射) – like when there is an itch on your nose, you'll scratch (挠) it without thinking. According to CNBC, a 2014 study found that touching your face also helps to reduce stress and regulate emotions. For example, you're more likely to do it when you feel awkward or embarrassed. According to Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California Berkeley, US, this action may also come with a social function: When you are talking to someone and want to change the subject, for example, touching your face is like "the curtains on a stage, closing up one act of the social drama, leading to the next," Keltner told the BBC.
Moreover, face-touching in almost all of these is subconscious, which means it's very hard to change "because you don't even know you're doing it", said Sawyer. But you're not alone. In a 2015 study, where a group of medical students were filmed in class, it was found that they touched their faces an average of 23 times an hour–with 44 percent of the touches being in the"T-zones". That was particularly surprising since medical students were supposed to know better.
Since it's so hard to shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often. This way, we can be sure that our hands are free from the novel coronavirus.
Tips for keeping your hands away
Tie up your hair so your face won't be tickled (使发痒) by stray strands (松散的发缕).
Keep your hands occupied, eg. with a stress ball.
Ask a friend to keep an eye on your hands.
【1】It's hard to stop touching faces because people ________.
A．don't take it seriously
B．do it without awareness
C．are born with the behavior
D．feel happier while doing it
【2】What does the underlined word "subconscious" mean?
A．Obvious.
B．Natural.
C．Strange.
D．Impolite.
【3】Which of the following is a social function of touching faces, according to the text?
A．Bringing a conversation to an end.
B．Making others feel relaxed while talking.
C．Showing an interest in the ongoing subject.
D．Using it as a sign to change the topic.
【4】What is the author's purpose in mentioning a 2015 study on a group of medical students?
A．To give tips on how to stop touching faces.
B．To prove that it is common for people to touch their faces.
C．To show how hygiene awareness helps people avoid touching their faces.
D．To show it is impossible to shake the habit of touching your face.
23、Gifts of the heart
A young man was walking in the desert, feeling thirsty. Just then, he came across a spring（泉）. The water was very sweet. He filled his leather container（皮革容器）so he could bring some to his teacher.
After a four-day journey, he brought the spring water to his teacher. The old man took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked his student for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart.
Later, another student of the old man tasted the water. He took a drink, but he spat（吐）it out right away. The water became stale because of the old leather container. The student asked his teacher, “Master, the water isn’t fresh any more. Why did you say it tasted sweet?”
The old man replied, “You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water is just the container for an act of love and kindness. Nothing could be sweeter.”
Sometimes we only see the gift, not the love in it. We should always remember that gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.

A．Some sand.

D．A beautiful container.
【2】How long did it take the young man to bring the gift to his teacher?

【4】Why did the old man like the gift?
A．Because it tasted sweet.

Dear Ming,
Glad to hear from you. You said at present only a few students do some reading in their free time. I’m very surprised to hear that. Why don’t they have enough time to read books? What do they often do after class? Do they spend much time playing computer games? How much time do you spend on reading? What types of books do you like best? In your opinion, why do the students need to read books?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best wishes!
Peter
