There are two types of people in this world: those who regularly wash their office coffee cup. And those who only take it off their desk to cover up the coffee mark at the bottom with a fresh pour, driving away their shame with the reasoning that the heat must kill the bacteria or spine thing.

Depending on which type of person you are, this will be either mildly annoying or more-than-mildly exciting. As Heidi Mitchell wrote in a recent Wall Street Journal column, it’s fine to never wash your cup, as long as you’re not sharing it with anybody else.

There are two warnings to that statement, infectious-disease expert Jeffrey Strake, a professor at Baylor College of Medicine, told Mitchell; One, it only applies if you’re not sharing the cup with anybody else. And two , if you leave cream or sugar in your cup over the weekend, that can certainly cause mold(霉) to grow – in which case, wash it out.

Otherwise, though, there’s not really much to worry about. “If I went and cultured the average unwashed coffee cup, of course I would find bacteria.” Starke said. “But remember the vast majority came from the person who used the cup.” Even if you drink from it while sick, it’s pretty hard to re-infect yourself with the same cup; most viruses don’t live long outside the body, which means that just letting your cup live in its own dirt may be a safer bet than the alternative; cleaning it with the disgusting sponge(海绵) in the office kitchen “The sponge in the break room probably has the highest bacteria count of anything in the office.” Starke said if the idea of not washing horrifies you , just stick the sponge in the microwave before using. Otherwise, though, reel free to continue your lazy ways without guilt.

1.What does the passage intend to tell us?

A. It is harmful to drink coffee with sugar.

B. It’s okay not to wash your coffee cup regularly.

C. The hot water contributes to the bacteria growing.

D. Drinking from unwashed coffee cups causes diseases easily.

2.What do we know from Stark’s words?

A. The coffee cup in the office must be put in the microwave to clean.

B. It’s easy to get infected if you often use the same unwashed cup.

C. The coffee cup shouldn’t be shared in the office.

D. It’s good way to grow bacteria in an unwashed cup.

3.What does the underlined part “your lazy ways” refer to ?

A. Leaving your coffee cup unwashed. B. Sticking the sponge in the microwave

C. Using Paper cups only in the office D. Cleaning your coffee cup with sponge.

4.Where does the passage probably come from?

A. A travel brochure. B. A science magazine.

C. An official statement. D. An entertainment program.

I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as ￡600 a month.

And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.

But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)

My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.

Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.

1.The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ________.

A. most families chose to go car-free B. the cost of a new car was too much

C. he was hurt in a terrible car accident D. the traffic jam was unbearable for him

2.What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?

A. Disapproving. B. Supportive.

C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned.

3.What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?

A. Argue against it. B. Take their advice.

C. Leave it alone. D. Think it over.

4.What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?

A. Life cannot go without a car.

B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.

C. His life gets improved without a car.

D. A car-free life does not suit everyone.
