New York — Wednesday, October fifteenth, is the first Global Hand Washing 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 Hand Washing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap. The goal, they say, is to create a culture of hand washing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs (病菌). They say the correct way to wash hands 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. Then, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.

The Partnership 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 likelihood that people will wash again.

It also says 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), which is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year, by almost half.

64. The most suitable title for the text would be _____.

A. Hand Washing Brings Good Health B. Hand Washing Gets a Day of Its Own C. It Is Soap That Matters D. Partnership for Hand Washing Takes Action 65. The Partnership creates Global Hand Washing Day to _____.

A. call on people to wash hands B. help the developing countries C. promote the importance of soap in hand washing D. make a culture of hand washing in the third world

66. The following facts can explain why soap is important EXCEPT that _____. A. soap gives people a longer hand washing time B. soap helps to get rid of more germs off hands C. soap attracts people to do more hand washing D. soap gets people into the habit of washing hands

. According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that _____. A. kills half of the kids in developing countries B. causes the greatest number of child deaths C. can be prevented by washing hands with soap

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 36 .

So, you have to give a speech ─ and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble (结结巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”

Cheer up! 37 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many example as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 38 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don't talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief, 39 . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.

If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? 40 . A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.

B. Take several deep breaths before your speech.

C. This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech. D. Say what you have to say and then stop. E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with. F. Never forget your audience.

G. Give it a try and see what happens.

I feel bad to trouble you, but I am afraid that I have to make a complain about the new mobile phone that I purchased from your store.

I buy a Sum sang Note III from your store at about 4,500 Yuan early this month. It was less than a week before I used it that I found anything wrong with it. I couldn’t turn on the phone. I tried many times and failed. Although I have repaired twice, it still doesn’t work.

This problem has affected my normally life. Would you please to let me know whether I could return the phone to you for a replacement or get my refund? I hope that my problem will get your kind considerations.

Sincerely yours,

Stephen
