Question

7．October 15^th is the Global Handwashing Day．Activities are planned in more than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap．For example，donators will give 150，000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia．
Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day，but very few use soap at so-called important moments．These include after using the toilet，after cleaning a baby and before touching food．
Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap．Partners include the United Nations Children's Fund，American government agencies，the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble．The organizers say all soaps are equ ally effective at removing disease-causing germ．They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap．Rub it into all areas，including under the fingernails．Rub for at least twenty seconds．Then rinse well under running water．Finally，dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air．
The Partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands．Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs．And it usually leaves a pleasant smell．The Partnership for Handwashing also says washing with soap before eating or after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine（疫苗）or medicine．Hand washing could also prevent the spread of other diseases．When people get germs on their hands，they can infect themselves by touching their eyes，noses or mouths．Then they can infect others．

Answer 1

分析 10月15号是"世界洗手日"，这一天人们要提倡洗手用肥皂，并且要养成饭前便后洗手的好习惯．研究表明，洗手可以去除手上的细菌和病菌，减少传染病的发生几率；如果用肥皂的话，效果会更好．

解答 28．C 主旨大意题． 洗手成了一件很重要的事，但是对于我们也很有必要，所以专门设立了一天宣传洗手--"世界洗手日"．故选C．
29．B词义猜测题．上文中提到了在手上涂抹肥皂的注意事项，后面又说怎样弄干手，因此这里是怎样把手上的肥皂冲洗掉．故选B．
30．B主旨大意题．最后一段讲了用肥皂洗手可以减少传染病的发病，效果好于用药物和疫苗．故选B．
31．C推理判断题．文章讲了怎样洗手、怎样正确的用肥皂洗手的问题，并提到了"世界洗手日"，因此应该刊登在健康报告一栏中．Medical care医疗护理；Public service 公共服务；Health report健康报告；Advertisement广告．故选C．
