Ⅱ. 阅读理解
October 15th is Global Handwashing Day. Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.
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.
Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Global Public-Private Partnership
for Handwashing(PPPHW). The goal,they say,is to create a culture of handwashing with soap.The organizers say all soap is equally effective in removing disease-causing germs ( 细菌 ).They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a little water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas,including under the fingernails. Then,wash well under running water. Finally,dry your hands with a clean cloth.
The PPPHW says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend
washing. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs.And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the chances that people will
wash again.
It also says that washing hands 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), which is the second biggest cause of child deaths, killing more than one and
a half million children a year.

A.To keep healthy by washing hands.
B.To wash hands with soap.
C.To take action to wash hands.

a. Washing hands well under running water.
b. Covering hands with soap.

e. Wetting hands.
A. a－c－b－e－d
B. e－d－a－b－c
C. a－c－b－d－e
D. e－b－d－a－c
3． Which fact can't explain why soap is important?
A. It gives people a longer handwashing time.
B. It helps to remove a lot of germs from hands.
