　　Passage Two

　　Hand washing reduces the spread of germs from one person to the next. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hand washing is one of the most important means of preventing the spread of infection. If you track when you wash your hands you may find it is not as often as you think. (19) A recent survey found that 94% of Americans say that they always wash their hands after going to the bathroom but observations in public restrooms show that only 68% of adults did so.

　　Why should you wash? Germs are so small that you cannot see them. A few of them can cause serious and life-threatening diseases. Washing your hands correctly greatly reduces the chances of spreading germs. (20) Disease-causing germs can enter your body when your unwashed hands touch your nose, mouth, and open wounds. Some of those germs may have changed to protect themselves against an antibiotic, which is called antibiotic resistance. While your health care providers have a professional responsibility to wash their hands, it is important that everyone make hand washing a personal priority.

　　How you wash your hands is important, especially when it comes to eliminating germs. Just washing them quickly is not enough. (21) When you wash your hands: Use soap and warm, running water. (22) Wash all surfaces thoroughly, including wrists, palms, back of hands, fingers and under the fingernails. Rub hands together for at least 10-15 seconds. When drying, use a clean or disposable towel if possible, and pat your skin rather than rubbing. Apply hand lotion or cream after washing to soothe your skin and help prevent drying.

　　19. What does the recent survey reveal about hand-washing?

　　20. Which is the way that germs can enter peopled bodies when people don't wash hands?

　　21. What kind of water is preferred when people wash hands?

　　22. What can be learned about hand washing mentioned in the passage?

　　参考答案：

　　【小题19】D

　　【小题20】B

　　【小题21】C

　　【小题22】A

　　习题解析：

　　【小题19】短文中提到 A recent survey... observations in public restrooms show that only 68% of adults did so，由此可知，只有大约三分之二的人在使用过公共卫生间后洗手。因此答案为选项 D。选项 A和 B不属于调查的新发现，排除;虽然短文中也提到有 94%的美国人使用过卫生间后洗手，但后面提到的 68%的人是限定在公共卫生间范围内，所以不能表明美国人说谎，排除选项 C。

　　【小题20】短文中明确提到 Disease-causing germs can enter your body when your unwashed hands touch your nose, mouth, and open wounds，由此可知，选项 B为答案。

　　【小题21】短文中明确指出，洗手时应该使用 warm, running water，而由水龙头里流出的温水符合这一表述。因此答案为选项 C。

　　【小题22】短文最后提到要彻底把手的各部位洗干净，所以答案为选项 A，同时排除选项 D;文中提到的搓手是至少 10 到 15 秒，而不是分钟，排除选项 B;擦干时，最好是轻拍，而不是揉搓，排除选项 C。
