Certain animals and plants develop characteristics that help them deal with their environments better than others of their kind.This natural biological process is called adaptation.Among the superior characteristics developed through adaptation are those that may help in getting food or shelter, in providing protection, and in producing and protecting the young.That results in the evolution(进化)of more and more organisms(生物体)that are better fitted to their environments.
Each living thing is adapted to its way of life in a general way, but each is adapted especially to its own special class.A plant, for example, depends on its roots to fix itself firmly and to absorb water and inorganic chemicals.It depends upon its green leaves for using the sun’s energy to make food from inorganic chemicals.These are general adaptations, common to most plants.In addition, there are special adaptations that only certain kinds of plants have.
Many animals have adaptations that help them escape from their enemies.Some insects are hidden by their body color or shape, and many look like a leaf or a little branch.The coats of deer are colored to mix with the surroundings.Many animals have the ability to remain completely still when an enemy is near.
Organisms have a great variety of ways of adapting.They may adapt in their structure, function, and genetics, in their development and production of the young, and in other aspects.An organism may create its own environment, as do warm-blooded mammals(哺乳动物), which have the ability to adjust body heat exactly to maintain their ideal temperature despite changing weather.Usually adaptations are an advantage, but sometimes an organism is so well adapted to a particular environment that if conditions change, it finds it difficult or impossible to readapt to the new conditions.

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.
