三、閱讀測驗:  1.A year ago, if anyone was seen wearing a mask on the street in America or in Europe, people would think that the person was very sick. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, most people in America and Europe didn’t believe that masks could be of any help. But they soon learned their lessons as the number of deaths kept increasing in their countries.
    To stop COVID-19 from spreading, people finally put on their masks before going out. Besides, they’re also asked to stop kissing or hugging each other. A man said, “I’m not going to stop kissing and hugging my friends when this is all over.”
    Most cold viruses will go away if we give our bodies time to fight them. Many people with the flu can get
well in 5-7 days without medicine if they get enough rest and water. However, it’s still hard to end the threat of COVID-19 at present.
