15、eed electric hand dryers because paper towels do a better job of containing germs when people do not wash their hands properly, researchers say. A study found that the dryers left more contamination (污染) on poorly washed hands when compared with old-fashioned paper towels. They also caused virus par
16、ticles to be blown on to clothing and people who used them left a trail of microbes (微生物) when they touched surfaces. The findings are relevant, the authors of the study said, because even healthcare workers often take shortcuts when washing their hands. A previous survey found that only 40 percent
17、stuck to recommended hand-washing practices. The study involved an experiment where volunteers dipped their hands in a liquid containing a harmless virus and dried them using either an air dryer or paper towels. The participants also wore aprons to measure how contamination had spread to their cloth
18、ing. They were then asked to walk through a hospital while touching surfaces such as lift buttons. Samples were collected from surfaces that volunteers had touched and from the aprons. On average, the levels of contamination to surfaces volunteers touched were ten times higher after hands were dried
19、 with an air dryer than with paper towels. Researchers also saw greater transfer of microbes to the apron when volunteers used the air dryer. “The study was performed in a healthcare setting and has important lessons for health institutions that still have high-speed air dryers, but the results are
20、also relevant for public restrooms,”Dr Ines Moura, a research fellow at the University of Leeds and an author of the study, said. “Based on the contamination observed, we question the choice of air dryers.” The study was published in the journal Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology.8What findin

24、e thunder storms hit our area recently, causing flash flooding and knocking down tree branches and even trees. I had spent the afternoon picking up branches out of my yard and throwing them away. Then just before I was getting ready to take my dogs for their last walk of the day, the warnings came o
25、n my television and over my phone that another of these storms was heading our way. I quickly took my dogs outside. Huge clouds were rolling in while thunder boomed over the hills. I knew that the stars were shining but I certainly couldnt see them. The darkness seemed darker and scarier than usual
26、because I knew what was on the way. That was when I saw it. The tiniest blink of light, up high, at the far end of the grassland behind my house. I smiled. The first of the fireflies had appeared for the summer at just the time I needed to see his light. Soon a few others were blinking their lights
27、as well. It amazed me how far their light traveled in the darkness of the night and how they didnt seem bothered at all by the approaching storm. I spent an extra few minutes watching my lightening bug friends and taking in their message of light before heading in to get ready for the storm. As I di
28、d, though, I noticed that the darkness no longer seemed so scary and that my fear had been replaced with joy. Life does have its share of storms, some caused by nature and some caused by us. We cant go through life being scared of them, however. Take a lesson from the fireflies then. Let your light
29、shine. It may seem tiny but you will be amazed at how far it can be seen and how easily it can drive the dark away.12What happened when the author was about to walk the dog?AHis house was heavily damaged.BHe was encouraged to pick up the branches.CHe was broadcasting a bad weather warning.DAnother b

They are free, but theyre worth so much to the receiving person. _16_ Your members didnt follow you because of salaries but for more altruistic (利他的) reasons.

33、praise that is due for their efforts. _17_ Dont say, “You look good today.” when you could have said, “You look amazing today!” Dont say, “Thanks for your effort.” Instead say, “Im so thankful for your being on this project, we couldnt have finished it without you!”Of course, with what I have mentio
