After four years Chinese study in Peking University, she learnt that the University of Granada would open a de

20、Chinese classic literature, Relinque was granted(授予)a special prize by the Chinese government in 2017. “Spain should pay more attention to China, and on the other hand, I ask my students to study Chinese history because the countrys today and future lie in history,” said Relinque. 24.

23、 never seemed to be a big problem-until COVID-19 arrived. Touching our facesthe “T-zone” of our eyes, nose and mouth can mean giving ourselves this virus (病毒). This is why some scientists have suggested that we should avoid touching our faces. William Sawyer, from Henry the Hand, told The Washington
24、 Post, “Just stop this simple behavior (行为),and that would be better than any vaccine (疫苗).” However, stopping this “simple” behavior might be harder than you think because we are used to it. Some face-touching is an automatic behaviorlike when there is an itch(痒) on your nose, youll touch it again
25、and again without thinking. A 2014 study found that touching your face also helps you to have less stress (压力). For example, its possible for you to do it when you feel uncomfortable. According to Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California Berkeley, US, this action may also have
26、a social use: when you are talking to someone, for example, touching your face means you want to talk about another thing. Besides, its very hard to change this face-touching “because you dont even know youre doing it”, said Sawyer. But youre not alone. In a 2015 study, it was found that a group of
27、medical students touched their faces about 23 times an hourwith 44 percent of the touches in the “T-zones”. That was very surprising because medical students should know better. Since its so hard to shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often. This way, we can be sure that

Good and bad points of face-touching. B. Stopping face-touching might be hard. C. Face-touching may bring us vi
30、rus. D. Ways of avoiding face-touching. D These days, teenagers are heavily influenced (影响) by the media. Many of them have watched thousands of hours of TV. Thats more time than they spend with teachers at school. And we havent yet thought about the hours they spend using the Internet and reading n
31、ewspapers. However, several studies have shown a serious problem: todays teenagers lack media literary(媒体素养). In other words, they have difficulty thinking about the information they see. One study that was done on middle school students showed that more than 80 percent of them couldnt tell the diff
32、erence between real stories and ads that looked like news. 5 / 10 Standford professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn media literacy. The professor gave an example that shows why media literacy is important. In the example, two news stations repor
33、t a snowstorm. One focuses on(关注) the terrible road conditions. The other focuses on kids playing in the snow. “With a news story, news stations tell you what they feel are the important details (细节). These details mostly depend on the opinions of the news director,” said John. “A person who has med
34、ia literacy would realize that each story is about one side at this time. There is more going on.” Some experts think the school is the best place to teach media literacy. Others believe everyonefrom parents to reportersshould help teenagers learn the skills. As for the best time to start learning m
35、edia literacy, many experts suggest the age of 12. But some basic ideas can be taught even earlier. “Its never too early to start learning media literacy,” John said. 30.
