14．In 1988，a company in Ohio invented an alcohol-based hand cleaner，which was meant to be used by health-care worker； when soap and water were unavailable．Joe Kanfer，the company's C．E．O．，told me recently，"there were a couple of other alcohol products out there，but they were really ugly．Either they were greasy （油腻的） or they burned your hands white．"Kanfer took a year and a half to develop this product which is visually appealing and does almost no harm to one's skin．Still．Kanfer lost money on it for mare than a decade because people couldn't get what it was for．
The product was called Purell．Today，you see it everywhere．My doctor uses it several times during every office visit．You can aer it in almost every office in the U．s..and school picnics would be impossible without it．The former president Grorge W．Bush was called a racist for using hand cleaner after first shaking hands with Barack Obama，but Bush also gave some of it to Obama and recommended it as a cold preventative （预防药）．What was once barely even a product is now a growing product category，worth hundreds of millions per year．
The rise of Purell makes some health professionals uneasy，Some claimed that promoting hand cleaner may worsen"our culture's irrational （非理性的） fear about bacteria．"Still，the clear agreement among experts is that unclean hands pose a serious health risk，and are one of the main reasons in the spread of infectious in hospitals．A 2007study estimated that，in America in 2002，such infections resulted in more than a million and a half patient illnesses and caused or contributed to nearly a hundred thousand patient deaths-about double the number of U．S．deaths currently caused each year by AIDS and guns combined．
However，I asked a food microbiologist whether clean hands might have a medical drawback．He said．"We might have a much healthier population if we adopted the kinds of condition that we see in many Third World countries，with poor-quality food and poor-quality water and lots of bacteria．If we did that，we would have adults who were very healthy and have very strong immune systems．Unfortunately，the price that we would pay would be extremely high child death rate．"

10．"All right then-Just one more piece…"Words every girl has said when faced with That ail-too delicious cheesecake．Of course，many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end．
     It isn't just girls．Most of us find it hard to hold back．However，scientists now say that willpower （意志力） is the key to success and a happy life．
     Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people's lives for a long time．The results are alike，according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian．
     In one experiment，scientists told young children that．they could either have a marsh-mallow （圆形软糖）now，or two marshmallows in 15 minutes．Waiting obviously needed more willpower．Scientists then tracked the children as they grew up．They wanted to see if certain children always had stronger willpower．They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives．
     Years later，scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier，happier and richer adults．In contrast，the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs，to be overweight，to have drug or alcohol problems，to divorce or to commit crimes．
     But there is hope，Roy F Baumeister，an American social psychology professor told the Guardian．Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles．Even a little practice can strengthen our overall self-control as long as we do it regularly and frequently．
     You could start by making yourself stand up straight，speaking in complete sentences，or using a computer mouse with the other hand．Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much．better in lab willpower tests．
     Like muscles，willpower can"get tired"．You should avoid trying to do too many things at the same time，or when you don't have enough energy for example when you are ill．If you already feel tired，you can try to recharge （恢复） your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well．
57•Thee example of a girl eating cheesecake is used toA．
     A•introduce the issue of willpower     
     B．show how easily people give in to their desires
     C．prove most girls lack willpower．
     D•indicate the connection between willpower an success
58．What can we infer from the experiment？B
     A•The scientists did not expect the results to turn out as they did．
     B•The children who chose to wait were likely to succeed in their future careers and lives．
     C•It indicated that willpower is the most important factor for success．
     D•The children who only accepted one marshmallow at that start had stronger willpower．
 59．Why can we say that willpower is like our muscles？D
     a．You shouldn't overuse it．．
     b．Rest and good food are good for it．
     c•Setting goals is good for it．
     d•It needs regular exercise．
     A．abc            B．acd               C．bcd             D．abd         
60．What is the article mainly about？C
     A•What the effect of willpower is．
     B•How willpower and muscles are similar．
     C•The significance of willpower and how we can strengthen it．
     D•How willpower is linked to success．
