Food picked up just a few seconds after being dropped is less likely to contain bacteria than if it is left for longer periods of time, according to the findings of research carried out at Aston University's School of Life and Health Sciences. The findings suggest there may be some scientific basis to the '5 second rule' --- the belief about it being fine to eat food that has only had contact with the floor for five seconds or less. Although people have long followed the 5 second rule, until now it was unclear whether it actually helped.

The study, undertaken by final year Biology students and led by Anthony Hilton, Professor of Microbiology at Aston University, monitored the transfer of the common bacteria from a variety of indoor floor types such as carpet, cement floor to toast, pasta, biscuit and a sticky sweet when contact was made from 3 to 30 seconds. The results showed that: Time is a significant factor in the transfer of bacteria from a floor surface to a piece of food; and the type of flooring the food has been dropped on has an effect, with bacteria least likely to transfer from carpeted surfaces and most likely to transfer from cement flooring surfaces to moist foods making contact for more than 5 seconds. Professor Hilton said: "Consuming food dropped on the floor still carries an infection risk as it very much depends on which bacteria are present on the floor at the time.”

The Aston team also carried out a survey of the number of people who employ the five-second rule. The survey showed that: 87% of people surveyed said they would eat food dropped on the floor, or already have done so. 55% of those that would, or have, eaten food dropped in the floor are women. 81% of the women who would eat food from the floor would follow the 5 second rule. Professor Hilton added: "Our study showed surprisingly that a large majority of people are happy to consume dropped food, with women the most likely to do so. But they are also more likely to follow the 5 second rule, which our research has shown to be much more than an old wives tail."

1. Eating food dropped on the floor still carries an infection risk because it relies on________ at that time.

A. the type of bacteria B. the carpet

C. the cement floor D. the surface of table

2.The passage is developed probably by __________.

A. time B. space C. contrast D. example

3.How did Professor Hilton feel after analyzing how many people chose to eat dropped food?

A. Satisfied B. Astonished

C. Puzzled D. Upset

4.What is the main idea of this passage?

A. The food which is dropped on the floor can be eaten safely.

B. The bacteria have no negative effect on the safety of food.

C. A research on the safety of food dropped on the floor is undertaken.

D. People surveyed in the research are willing to accept the idea.

Here’s something that might make you feel a little better the next time you have a serious case of hanger - you’re not being irrational or unreasonable, it’s just science.

The concept of being ‘hangry’ - angry because you’re hungry - comes up among ScienceAlert staff.But there’s nothing wrong with being hangry - there’s a scientific reason why having low blood sugar can make some people aggressive.

According to a study published earlier this year, blood sugar levels directly related to how married couples were likely to treat each other.Working with 107 couples over three weeks, the researchers, led by psychologist Brad Bushman from the Ohio State University in the US, found that when individuals experienced lower than usual blood sugar levels, they became increasingly aggressive and mean towards their significant others.

This was measured through the use of a good old-fashioned voodoo doll — the volunteers were each given one, along with 51 pins, to represent their spouse-a partner in marriage.Each person’s aggressive impulses(冲动)were then measured based on how many pins they stuck into their spouse-dolls every night throughout the experiment.

Aggression, on the other hand, was measured by volunteers blasting(炮轰)their spouse with a loud and unpleasant noise in the headphones they had to wear.

Turns out that the volunteers who experienced the lowest blood sugar levels stuck more pins into their voodoo dolls, and forced louder and longer blasts of noise on their spouses than those who had plenty of glucose(葡萄糖) in their system.

"People are often the most aggressive against the people to whom they are closest — intimate partners,” the researchers concluded."Intimate partner violence might be partly a result of poor self-control.Self-control of aggressive impulses requires energy, and much of this energy is provided by glucose from the food we eat."

As Susannah Locke explains at Vox, glucose is the only molecule(分子) that our brains will accept as fuel.This means, quite simply, that when we’re not producing enough glucose, our brains won’t function properly.It also means that we lack the energy we need to maintain self-control, which is why we’re more likely to hit or criticize others suddenly in an uncharacteristic manner when we haven’t eaten in a while.

1.According the passage, what can make you feel better?

A.Knowing that your are being irrational.

B.Knowing that your are being angry

C.Knowing that you are being hungry

D.Knowing that you are angry for a reason.

2.How did the researchers get the final result of the experiments in various ways?

A.By making good use of a doll to represent their spouse.

B.By using voodoo dolls , pins and headphones to measure their aggression.

C.By measuring aggression based on how many pins they stuck into their dolls

D.By measuring aggressive impulses in terms of their blasting their spouse with a noise.

3.Which of the following is right according to Susannah Locke?

A.Glucose is our brain's fuel.

B.We lack energy to control ourselves.

C. Without glucose, our brain will function properly.

D.We are more likely to lose control if we produce enough glucose.

4.From the passage, in which condition will you be more likely to feel angry?

A.At 8:00 a.m, you are driving a car alone after having breakfast.

B.At 11.00 a.m, you are in your office with colleagues waiting for the lunch.

C.At 5:00 p.m, you are cleaning the house at home while your wife is cooking.

D.At 6:00 p.m, you are taking a walk with your family after having dinner.

5.What did researchers conclude from the research?

A.Lower blood sugar level had less pins stuck than higher blood sugar.

B.Poor self-control could cause aggression between intimate partners.

C.People are often the most aggressive against the strangers.

D.People with more glucose force louder blasts of noise

6.What does the underlined word “aggressive” in the second paragraph mean?

A.有进取心的

B.好争斗的

C.积极的

D.乐观的

Nearing the age of 101 has not slowed down one Japanese woman.In fact,in the swimming pool—she is only getting faster.

Recently,a 100-year-old Japanese woman became the world’s first centenarian to complete a 1,500-meter freestyle swimming competition in a 25-meter poo1.

Her name is Mieko Nagaoka.Ms.Nagaoka set a world record for her age group at a recent Japan Masters Swimming Association event in the western city of Matsuyama.She swam the race in 1hour,15 minutes and 54 seconds.

By comparison,the overall female world record holder completed the same distance in just under 15 and a half minutes.But that swimmer,Katie Ledecky,is only 17 years old.And Ms.Nagao.ka was not competing against her.In fact,Ms.Nagaoka was the only competitor in the 100-104 year old category.Her race was not a race of speed but of endurance,or not giving up.

Breaking swimming records is nothing new to Ms.Nagaoka.So far she has broken 25 records.But she began competing when she was much younger—at 88.

Ms.Nagaoka sufferred a knee injury in her 80s,so she began swimming to help her body recover.Since her first international swimming competition,she hasn’t looked back,except maybe to see if her competition is catching up.

In 2002.at a masters swim meet in New Zealand,Ms.Nagaoka took the bronze medal in the 50-meter backstroke.In 2004,she won three silver medals at an Italian swim meet.

Masters swimming is a special class of competitive swimming to promote health and friendship among participants.Swimmers compete within age groups of five years.

Japan has a large number of people who live beyond 100 years old.Until she passed away this month,the oldest person in the world was also from Japan.Misao Okawa was born in 1 898.She said her secrets for longevity,or long life,were good genes,regular sleep,sushi and exercise.

1.The underlined word“centenarian”refers to someone who is____.

A.from Japan

B.100 or older

C.an old competitor

D.a new swimmer

2.Which is possibly the age category of the masters swimming competition?

A.82 to 87 years old.

B.93 to 97 years old.

C.95 to 99 years old.

D.106 to 110 years old.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that_____.

A.some people are born with longevity genes

B.people who like swimming live longer

C.the Japanese are interested in swimming

D.woman usually live much longer than men

4.Which can best explain the spirit of Ms.Nagaoka?

A.Not to advance is to go back.

B.After a storm comes a calm.

C.The early bird catches the worm.

D.Keep on going,never give up.

For centuries, medical pioneers have refined a variety of methods and medicines to treat sickness, injury, and disability, enabling people to live longer and healthier lives.

“A salamander (a small lizard-like animal) can grow back its leg. Why can't a human do the same?” asked Peruvian-born surgeon Dr. Anthony Atala in a recent interview. The question, a reference to work aiming to grow new limbs for wounded soldiers, captures the inventive spirit of regenerative medicine. This innovative field seeks to provide patients with replacement body parts. These parts are not made of steel; they are the real things --- living cells, tissue, and even organs.

Regenerative medicine is still mostly experimental, with clinical applications limited to procedures such as growing sheets of skin on burns and wounds. One of its most significant advances took place in 1999,when a research group at North Carolina’s Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine conducted a successful organ replacement with a laboratory-grown bladder. Since then, the team, led by Dr. Atala, has continued to generate a variety of other tissues and organs 一 from kidneys to ears.

The field of regenerative medicine builds on work conducted in the early twentieth century with the first successful transplants of donated human soft tissue and bone. However, donor organs are not always the best option. First of all, they are in short supply, and many people die while waiting for an available organ; in the United States alone, more than 100,000 people are waiting for organ transplants. Secondly, a patient’s body may ultimately reject the transplanted donor organ. An advantage of regenerative medicine is that the tissues are grown from a patient’s own cells and will not be rejected by the body’s immune system.

Today, several labs are working to create bioartificial body parts. Scientists at Columbia and Yale Universities have grown a jawbone and a lung. At the University of Minnesota, Doris Taylor has created a beating bioartificial rat heart. Dr. Atala’s medical team has reported long-term success with bioengineered bladders implanted into young patients with spina bifida (a birth defect that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord). And at the University of Michigan, H. David Humes has created an artificial kidney.

So far, the kidney procedure has only been used successfully with sheep, but there is hope that one day similar kidney will be implantable in a human patient. The continuing research of scientists such as these may eventually make donor organs unnecessary and, as a result, significantly increase individuals'chances of survival.

1. In the latest field of regenerative medicine, what are replacement parts made of?

A. Cells, tissues and organs of one’s own.

B. Rejected cells, tissues and organs.

C. Donated cells, tissues and organs.

D. Cells, tissues and organs made of steel.

2.What have scientists experimented successfully on for a bioartificial kidney?

A. Patients. B. Rats. C. Soldiers. D. Sheep.

3.Why is generative medicine considered innovative?

A. It will strengthen the human body’s immune system.

B. It will provide patients with replacement soft tissues.

C. It will make patients live longer with bioartificial organs.

D. It will shorten the time patients waiting for a donated organ.

4.What is the writer’s attitude towards regenerative medicine?

A. Doubtful. B. Reserved. C. Positive. D. Negative.
