3．Until a few weeks ago，Asians were the only mask wearers in Western countries，causing even unfriendly responses from the Westerners.But this taboo（禁忌） is falling apart fast after more and more evidences from experiments say that the practice in effect in protecting human beings from infectious diseases.Now，an increasing number of Western countries，including Italy，France，the United States and Australia，have finally decided to recommend their citizens to wear masks in public places to protect one another from the deadly COVID-19 viruses.
For Western nations：the simple change is really difficult and the debate over the face mask has even developed into a larger discussion over the role of the individual in society.In the West，mask-wearing was seen through an individual's perspective.It runs like "I am free to decide whether to wear a mask to protect myself or not".However，in Asia，mask-wearing was seen through a social perspective.It runs like "If all individuals wear masks，the society will be protected".The logics are fundamentally different and the change would require a big cultural adjustment because mask wearing in public places was even considered "strange and frightening" to the Westerners.
But mask-wearing in public places was also new to the Asians until it was struck by SARS in 2003.After that，mask-wearing has become such a part of daily life that it now plays a role in giving the public a sense of being "protected" in Asia.
"I'm convinced that pretty soon everyone in a Western family will have two or three reusable face masks，" said Jean Francois Mattéi president of France's National Academy of Medicine.

9．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was a kid，I came across a basic series of questions every time I was introduced to a person.Most were easy："How old are you？" "What grade are you in？" "What do you want to be when you grow up？" But there was one question that troubled me： "What do your parents do？"
Dad was a computer programmer，so that one was easy enough. "My dad works on computers，" I would say.But mom's job was hard to explain.She called herself a "nurse practitioner（从业者）".Mom explained it easier to make me understand. "You can say I teach nursing，" she said. "My mom teaches nurses，" I would repeat what she had said to me.
When that answer led to even more questions，my response became simpler，"My mom is nurse，" though I was finally left wondering what it was she actually did.It definitely demanded a lot of time and energy and was important to the injured.I got my first clue（线索） about what mom actually did when having a late-night trip with her to the hospital in Central Phoenix.
Mom was called in to make rounds unexpectedly that night.It was dark outside and almost time for me to go to bed，so I was shocked when she asked if I wanted to come along with her.I loved the way the light from the streetlamps passed through the car.Being amazed at the view from the front seat，I didn't say much.Some soft music was played on the radio in the car，which made me feel relaxed.When we arrived at the hospital，mom guided me through the parking garage and led me to a small emergency waiting room.There was only a row of white chairs along each wall and a TV which weighed roughly three hundred pounds.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1：
My mom handed me a bag of chocolate and left the emergency room to make her rounds.______
Paragraph 2：
On the drive home，I asked mom if she had seen a man whose arms were injured badly.______组卷：4引用：3难度：0.5
