William Franklin came to my class half a year ago. But from his first day here, he   36   himself in his own world and he never spoke to others. As his teacher, I tried to start a talk with him but   37  . It seemed as if he just didn’t want to break his   38  .

After the Thanksgiving holiday, we received the news of the   39   Christmas collection of money for the   40   in our school. “Christmas is a season of   41   ,” I told my students. “Some poor students in our school might not have a   42   holiday. By giving a little money, you will help   43   some toys, food and clothing for these needy students. We will   44   the collection tomorrow.”

The next morning,   45   , I found out almost everyone had   46   this matter except Willard Franklin. He came up to my desk with his head down.   47   , he dropped two coins into the small box. “I don’t need milk for lunch,” he said in a   48   voice.

After school I couldn’t help sharing what had   49   in the morning with our headmaster. “I may be wrong, but I   50   Willard might be ready to become part of our class.” “ I am   51   to hear that,” he nodded. “And I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need   52  . Here, take a look at it.”

As I sat down to   53   , I found Willard Franklin was at the top of the list. At that moment, I felt I really   54   Willard for the first time: a cold face with a warm heart. From this   55   , I also learnt that whether rich or poor, every child has a kind heart.

October 15^th 2008 is the first Global Handwashing Day, whose goal is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.

150,000 bars of soap were given to schools in Ethiopia, where the Education Ministry asked 1,000,000 schoolchildren to wash their hands for the event. 

Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at critical moments such as after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.

The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs(细菌). 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 20 seconds.

Then, wash your hands well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.

They say soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps to break up the grease(油脂) and dirt that hold most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which encourages people to wash again.

They say washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine or medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea(腹泻) by almost half. And it could reduce deaths from pneumonia(肺炎) and other breathing infections by one-fourth.

Diarrhea is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than 1,500,000 children a year. Pneumonia is the leading cause, killing about 2,000,000 children under five each year. Hand washing can also prevent the spread of other diseases.

When people get germs on their hands, they can infect themselves by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Then they can infect others.
