Around half of all teenagers in the UK are putting themselves at risk of food poisoning because they don't wash their hands before eating or after visiting the toilet, a new survey indicates, To coincide with National Food Safety Week, researchers from the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) conducted a survey of over 500 people aged between 11 and 19 about their hygiene and eating habits. Their survey showed that 57 percent of teenagers admitted to not always washing their hands after visiting the toilet or before lunch at school. Of these, over two-thirds ate lunch, such as sandwiches or a burger, with their hands.
Furthermore, 40 percent of those who do wash their hands do not always use soap. And 75 percent said they dry their hands on their clothes when in a hurry—damp hands spread around 1,000 times more germs (病菌) than dry ones. Excuses that teenagers gave for not washing their hands ranged from not having enough time (24 percent) to dirty and unhygienic facilities (26 percent) and forgetfulness (22 percent).
Food safety expert Hugh Pennington, professor of Microbiology at Aberdeen University, said, "The best news about food safety is that one doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to do it properly. The had news is that even a simple and obvious thing like hand washing—which protects incredibly well—is seen by many people as good health theory, but not actually put into practice."
Martin Paterson, deputy director general of the FDF, said that teens' hygiene habits before eating were a recipe for disaster, adding that although most know how food poisoning could occur, the majority do not take simple measures to prevent it. "Of course teenagers don't want to be overprotected," he said, "but with up to 5.5 million cases of food poisoning a year, we clearly need to keep informing people of simple food hygiene messages in fun and imaginative ways, to remind people of all ages how they can continue to enjoy their food safely."

C．it's not a must to practice food safety
D．practicing food safety isn't terribly difficult
55．Educated about food poisoning, most teenagers      .
A．still get food poisoning at least once a year

56．What is the main message conveyed in the text?

One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to the chirps of birds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo(竹子) trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their upright or original position after the wind had died down.
When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability to bounce back or return to its original position, the word resilience （恢复力）comes to mind.  When used in reference to a person, this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person’s emotions.
Have you ever felt like you are about to snap（突然折断）? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
　　During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, mentally exhausted and you most likely endured（忍耐） unpleasant physical symptoms（症状）.
　　Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
　　If the going gets tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don’t break!
60．When the writer talks about the bamboo trees, he wants to tell us          .
A．he can’t forget those bamboo trees
B．he used to watch them bend under pressoure and return to their upright position
C．he still remembers the good days as a child
D．he admires the character of the bamboo trees
61．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．When you have overcome some depression, you show resilience.
B．When you are about to snap, we say you are resilient.
C．If you feel like you are at your breaking point, you are fortunate.
D．If you feel mentally exhausted, you are likely to experience pleasant physical symptoms.
62．What does the writer mean by saying “Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you?”
A．You should make the best of the situation.
B．You should try your best to get the best situation.
C．You should try your best not to be defeated by the situation.
D．You should try your best not to give up the best situation.
63．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．My fondest memories     B．Good times and bad times
C．Enjoy the peace and quiet       D．Bend, but don’t break
