In the rush to get to school, you drop a piece of toast on the floor. Do you throw it away or dec ide it’ s still OK to eat? If you’re like most people, you eat it. Maybe you follow the “5-second rule”, which claims foods are safe to eat if you pick them up within 5 seconds after dropping them. But you might want to think again. Scientists now say that 5 seconds is all it takes for foods to become polluted with enough bacteria（细菌） to make you sick.
Bacteria can cause many kinds of illnesses. Some kinds of bacteria can grow on food. If you eat foods on which these bacteria are growing, you can become sick.
One of these food-borne bacteria is Salmonella. It makes 1.4 million people sick every year. Salmonella is often found in raw eggs and chicken. Cooking kills these bacteria, which is why it is so important to cook eggs, chicken, and other foods thoroughly.
But how long does it take these bacteria to pollute food? A team of scientists in South Carolina did an experiment. First, they placed an amount of Salmonella on three surfaces; wood, tile (瓦片), and carpet. They placed a piece of bread and a piece of bologna（大腊肠） on each surface for 5,30, or 60 seconds. After just 5 seconds, both the bread and the bologna picked up enough bacteria to make you sick.
So forget the 5-second rule. If your toast drops on the floor, throw it away and get another piece of clean toast. This time, be careful not to drop it!

     Erik Weihenmayer was born with an eye disorder. As a child his eyesight became worse and then,
at the age of 13, he lost his sight completely. However, he did not lose his determination to lead a full
and active life.
     Erik became an adventurer. He took up parachuting, wrestling and scuba diving. He competed in
long-distance biking, marathons and skiing. His favorite sport, though, is mountaineering.
     As a young man, Erik started to climb mountains. He reached the summit of Mount McKinley in

mountaineering challenge of all. He climbed Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world.
     Erik invented his own method for climbing mountains. He carries two long poles: one to lean on
and the other to test the way ahead of him. The climber in front of him wears a bell to gu ide him.
Erik is a good team member. He does his share of the job, such as setting up tents and building
snow walls.
      Although he could not enjoy the view, Erik felt the excitement of being on the summit of Everest.
