Face Masks May Not Protect from Super-flu

1 If a super-flu strikes,face masks may not protect you.Whether widespread use of masks will help,or
harm,during the next worldwide flu outbreak is a question that researchers are studying furiously.No results
have come from their mask research yet.However,the government says people should consider wearing them
in certain situations anyway,just in case.
2 But it's a question the public keeps asking while the governments are making preparations for the
next flu pandemic. So the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) came up with（提出）prelimi-
nary guidelines（初步指导方针）." We don ' t want people wearing them everywhere , " said the CDC. " The
overall recommendation really is to avoid exposure."
3 When that's not possible,the guidelines say to consider wearing a simple surgical mask if you are in
one of the three following situations.First,you're healthy and can't avoid going to a crowded place.Second,
you're sick and think you may have close contact with the healthy,such as a family member checking on
you.Third,you live with someone who's sick and thus might be in the early stages of infection,but still need
to go out.
4 Influenza pandemic can strike when the easy-to-mutate flu virus shifts to a strain that people never
have experienced.Scientists cannot predict when the next pandemic will arrive,although concern is rising
that the Asian bird flu might trigger one if it starts spreading easily from person to person.
5 During the flu pandemic,you should protect yourself. Avoid crowds,and avoid close contact with the
sick unless you must care for someone.Why aren't masks added to this self-protection list?Because they can
help trap virus-laden（含有病毒的、充满细菌的）droplets flying through the air with a cough or sneeze.
Simple surgical masks only filter the larger droplets.Besides,the CDC is afraid masks may create a false
sense of security.Perhaps someone who should have stayed home would don an ill-fitting mask and hop on
the subway instead.
6 Nor does flu only spread through the air. Say someone covers a sneeze with his or her hand,then tou-
ches a doorknob or subway pole.If you touch that spot next and then put germy hands on your nose or
mouth,you've been exposed.It's harder to rub your nose while wearing a mask and so your face may get
pretty sweaty under masks.You reach under to wipe that sweat,and may transfer germs caught on the outside
of the mask straight to the nose.These are the problems face masks may create for their users.
7 Whether people should or should not use face masks still remains a question.The general public has
to wait patiently for the results of the mask research scientists are still doing.

The CDC is afraid that the public may________________.
A:overuse face masks
B:deal with the mask problem seriously
C:rub their faces and noses in the subway
D:protest against the mask guidelines
F:help protect people from being attacked by a flu

资料：Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pingeon can learm to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s peronality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allports, an American psychologist, found nearly18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types——people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words person and persoality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

Which of the following is NOT true?

A.People differ from each in appearance
B.Different people may have different personalities
C.People can learn to recognize faces
D.People can describe all the features of others

1.If a super-flu strikes,face masks may not protect you.Whether widespread use of masks will help,or harm,during the next worldwide flu outbreak is a question that researchers are studying furiously.No results have come from their mask research yet.However,the government says peoph should consider wearing them in certain situations anyway, just in case.
2.But it's a question the public keeps asking while the government are making preparations for the next flu pandemic.So the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions(CDC)came up with preliminary guidelines."We don't want people wearing them everywhere,"said the CDC."The overall recommendation really is to avoid exposure."
3.When that's not possible,the guidelines say to consider wearing a simple surgical mask if you are in one of the three following situations.First,you're healthy and can't avoid going to a crowded place.Second,you're sick and think you may have close contact with the healthy,such a, a family member checking on you.Third,you live with someone who's sick and thus might be in the early stages of infection,but still need to go out.
4.Influenza pandemics can strike when the easy-to-mutate flu virus shifts to a strain that people never have experienced.Scientists cannot predict when the next pandemic will arrive,although concern is rising that the Asian bird flu might trigger one if it starts spreading easily from person to person.
5.During the flu pandemic,you should protect yourself. Avoid crowds,and avoid close contact with the sick unless you must care for someone.Why aren't masks added to this self protection list?Because they can help trap virus-laden droplets flying through the air with a cough or sneeze. Simple surgical masks only filter the larger droplets.Besides,the CDC is afraid masks may create a false sense of security.Perhaps someone who should have stayed home would don an ill fitting mask and hop on the subway instead.
6.Nor does flu only spread through the air. Say someone covers a sneeze with his or her hand, then touches a doorknob or subway pole.If you touch that spot next and then put germy hands on your nose or mouth,you've been exposed.It's harder to rub your nose while wearing a mask and so your face may get pretty sweaty under masks.You reach under to wipe that sweat,and may transfer germs caught on the outside of the mask straight to the nose.These are the problems face masks may create for their users.
7.Whether people should or should not use face masks still remains a question.The general public has to wait patiently for the results of the mask research scientists are still doing.

The scientists are trying to find out if masks may or may not________.
A:overuse face masks
B:deal with the mask problem seriously
C:rub their faces and noses in the subway
D:protest against the mask guidelines
E:help protect people from being attacked by a flu
