5．London's Chinese community （社区） dates back to the 18th century，when a small number of Chinese sailors （水手） moved to the city to work in Lime house，east London．As time went on，other Chinese people came to this area and Lime house began to be known as"Chinatown"．At the start of the 20th century，there were just 545Chinese people in Britain．However，this situation changed greatly after the Second World War．At this time，many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs，and decided to move to London．
In the 1950s，a small Chinese restaurant opened in central London．Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful．Suddenly，Chinese restaurants started opening in every part of the city．Instead of too little work，the new Chinese immigrants （移民） now found that they had too much．Most of the new immigrants enjoyed their life and the chances they were offered．Many asked their friends and relatives to join them from their hometowns，and a lot of families were reunited again at this time．
As time went by，London's Chinese community became more and more successful．The sons and daughters of the first restaurant workers，encouraged by their parents，studied very hard at school and university．And most of them could get highly-paid jobs．As a result，increasing numbers of Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive places．Chinatown，however，is still as lively as ever，and a must see place for every visitor to London．

4．October 15^th is the Global Handwashing Day．Activities are planned in more than 20countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap．For example，donators will give 150，000bars 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 equally 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  rinsewell 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．

3．W：Hi，Mr．Lee，I am （41）a reporter from the New York Times．It will be great（42）if you can tell me some information about chopsticks，（43）such as their origin and the materials they are made from．
M：Good question．Chopsticks originated in China，but they are（44）widely （wide） used in many Asian countries．Chopsticks may be made of any of the （45）following（follow） materials：bamboo，wood，gold，silver，ivory，or plastic，and they may be（46）either either round or square．Some chopsticks are decorated （47）withcolored pictures．Ordinary chopsticks used in Chinese homes are made of wood or bamboo．In ancient times，the rich used jade or gold chopsticks to display their wealth．Many kings and emperors used silver chopsticks to see if their food had been poisoned．
W：OK，thank you．And I'd like to know why Chinese people use chopsticks．（48）Why not knives and forks，like Americans？
M：Oh，that is a good question．I think Chinese people choose chopsticks，rather than knives and forks，because Chinese people，under the influence of Confucianism，have traditionally （49）considered
（consider） knives and forks as symbolizing a type of violence．On the other hand，chopsticks reflect （50）gentleness（gentle） and kindness．And maybe Chinese food simply seems to taste better when eaten with chopsticks．
