I used to be ashamed of my grandma. I know that's a 1　thing to say, but it was true until today, so I have to　2　it.

The  3 started when my friend Katy found Grandma's false teeth floating in a glass on the bathroom sink. I was so used to seeing them that I 4　 took notice of them. But Katy shouted, laughing and　 5　 to talk to them. I had to get down on my knees and　 6　　her to shut up so my grandma wouldn't　 7　  and get hurt.

After that happened, I　 8　 there were a million things about Grandma that were embarrassing（令人窘迫）.

Once she took Jill and me out to Burger King.　 9　  ordering our hamburgers well-done, she told the person behind the counter, "They'll have two Whoppers (巨无霸) well-to-do. " Jill burst out laughing, but I almost　10　 　.

After a while, I started wishing I could　 11　 Grandma in a closet. I even complained to my parents. Both my parents said I had to be careful not to make Grandma feel　  12　 in our home.

Then last Wednesday, something happened that　 13　 everything completely. My teacher told us to help find interesting old people and　 14　  them about their　 15　 for a big Oral History project. I was trying to think of someone when Angie pushed me gently.

"Volunteer your grandmother," she whispered. "She's　 16　 and rich in experience."

That was the last thing I ever thought Angie would say about my grandma.

This is how I ended up on　  17　 today interviewing my own grandmother before the whole school assembly (集合). All my friends and teachers were listening to her　  18　 she was a great heroine. I was　  19　　of my grandma and hoped she would　 20  know that I had been ashamed of her.

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered the blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

The World Bank, the United Nations and the London School Of Hygiene and Tropica1 Medicine did a study to urge hand-washing around the world. They found that one million lives could be saved each year if people washed their hands with soap often. They said that programs to increase hand-washing with soap could be among the most effective ways to reduce infectious disease.

     Doctors say, many diseases can be prevented from spreading by hand-washing. These include pinworms (寄生虫), influenza (流行性感冒), the common cold, hepatitis (肝炎) A, meningitis (脑膜炎) and infectious diarrhea (腹泻).

    Hand-washing destroys germs from other people, animals or objects a person has touched. When people get bacteria on their hands, they can infect themselves by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Then these people can infect other people.  

   The experts say the easiest way to catch a cold is to touch your nose or eyes after someone nearby has sneezed or coughed. Another way to become sick is to eat food prepared by someone whose hands were not clean.

   The experts say that hand-washing is especially important before and after preparing food, before eating and after using the toilet. People should wash their hands after handling animals or animal waste, and after cleaning a baby. The experts say it is also a good idea to wash your hands after handling money and after sneezing or coughing. And it is important to wash your hands often when someone in your home is sick. The experts say the most effective way to wash your hands is to rub them together while using soap and warm water．They say you do not have to use special antibacterial soap. Be sure to rub all areas of the hands for about ten to fifteen seconds. The rubbing action helps remove germs. Then rinse (冲洗) the hands with water and dry them.
