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 eye， nose and mouth ﹣ can mean giving ourselves this virus．
This is why some organizations have suggested that we should avoid touching our faces．William Sawyer， from Henry the Hand． told The Washington Post， "Just stop this simple behavior，and that would be better than any vaccine （疫苗）lever created，"
However， stopping this "simple" behavior might he harder than you think because we are used to it．
Some face﹣touching is an automatic reaction： like when there is an itch （痒） on your nose，you'll touch it again and again without thinking． A 2014 study found that touching your face also helps you to have less stress．For example． it's possible for you to do it when you feel embarrassed．According to Dacher Kelmer， a psychologist an the University of Califormia Berkeley， Us． this action may also have a social use： When you are taking to someone， for example， touching your face means you want to talk about another thing．
Besides， it's very hard to change this face touching "because you don't even kn6w you're doing it"，said Sawyer．
But you're not alone． In a 2015 study． it was found that a group of medical students touched their faces about 23 times an hour ﹣ with 44 percent of the touches in the T﹣zones" ， That was very surprising because medical students should 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 safe from COVID﹣19．

During my second year of nursing school, our teacher gave us an exam. I was a hardworking student and I did well in all the subjects. I finished the questions successfully until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”
Of course this was a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She is short and about 60 years old. She has dark hair. But how would I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, I’d never even thought about talking to her. I stared at my paper and started to feel rather guilty. Finally, I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.
Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade.
“Certainly,” the teacher said. “In your life, you will meet many people. All are important. They deserve(值得) your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello.”
I’ve never forgotten that lesson. Everyone deserves my attention and I should get to know all of the people who work and live around me. That was, perhaps, the most important lesson of my life. I also learned the cleaning woman’s name was Dorothy.At the nursing school, the writer .

As a student, you must have homework every day. How do you deal with your homework? When do you usually finish your homework? Here is some advice for you to help you finish your homework well.
Homework should be done as soon as you get home from school. If you have after-school activities, the homework should be done first. At the same time, it is fine to allow for a snack break and also to allow for stretching(伸展) breaks.
Also, you should remember that it is your duty to do your homework. Don’t depend on Mum and Dad for help. Please try to find the answer yourself because you will learn much more that way.
When you have a question, especially something about a science or maths, don’t always turn to your teacher! It is a good idea to try to find the answer yourself. If this doesn’t work, you can also look at your textbooks carefully. They may help you understand the problem.
Finally, while doing homework, don’t think about or do other things. Keep working. Setting a time limit(限制) often helps with this. Different ages decide different amounts of time. 10-15 minutes is good for a child that’s aged 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is about right for a child aged 9-12. Kids can keep studying for 30-45 minutes at the ages of 13-15. This, of course, depends on your ability to pay attention and stay on tasks.
