The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has declared October 15 as Global Handwashing Day in 2005．The first Global Handwashing Day is on October 15 of 2008.Activities are planned over twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap. Partners include the UN Children's Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unilever and Procter and Gamble. The goal is to create a culture of hand washing with soap.

Hand washing can prevent the spread of disease. Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.

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

The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs. 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, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air. Soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. It also helps to break up the grease and dirt that hold most of the germs.And it usually leaves a pleasant smell,which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.

Washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea(痢疾) by almost half. And it could reduce deaths from pneumonia and other breathing infections by one-fourth. Diarrhea is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year. Pneumonia is the leading cause, killing about two million children under five each year. Hand washing can also prevent the spread of other diseases.

I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in  26  for 17 years, I had no  27  about my ability to hold their attention and to  28  on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “  29  !”

The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat  30  about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly  31  my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect --- perhaps  32  their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement.

   My students  33  diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually  34  by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.  35  her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a  36  theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical  37  for all the works we will study in class,” I complained. “How  38  they say I didn’t teach them anything?”

It was a long term, and it  39  became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as  40  of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise     41  questions and provide enough background so that students could  42  their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide  43  information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
