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 socalled 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 PublicPrivate 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 diseasecausing 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.

proposal to employ dogs as classroom assistants.
At the annual conference of the Professional Association of Teachers in Southport, northwest of
England, one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools. They
can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate "accidents". Wendy Dyble, a
Shetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven, made it clear to her fellow friends that
she was not "barking mad". They obviously believed her, supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13, with a
total of 63 abstentions (弃权).
She said big dogs could help round up children, keep them in line, lick up the milk they spill on the
floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order."A big dog would also be helpful in
breaking up fights and looking for lost property, like gym shoes or dolls, " Dyble said at the conference.
"The dog will also be useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to, " she added. "It
would be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit (犯错的人)."
The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions. A spokesman
for Education Secretary David Blunkett, who is blind, said his guide dog was always popular with pupils
when he visited schools.The Professional Association of Teachers, with around 35,000 members, is the
smallest teaching union in Britain.It has an honour for occasional strange ideas.
Earlier this week, its annual conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress
and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of
hand.

C. would employ dogs as teachers
D. benefited much from dogs
B. shows there are too many exams in British schools
C. provides further facts about the teaching union
D. shows the writer"s anger to the union
the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day which fell on Friday.
More than 15 percent of Chinese youths have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shanghaibased Wenhui Daily reported.The
World Health Organization estimates that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will
increase to 50 percent, and mental problems will become a major factor behind deaths and illness in the
young worldwide.
Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, said rapid social
changes are one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems.If
these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence of crimes, drugtaking and other dangerous
behavior are expected to rise.Experts said mental diseases could be caused by many factors, such as the
inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable emotions and pressures from an overload of
studies.A number of experts have also said the onechild policy is another reason leading to poor mental
health in the young.Children are said to be too "spoiled" and "selfish" in a onechild family.
It"s reported that schools in many cities are rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental
wellbeing.Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No.105 Middle School, told China Daily that the
school invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month."Students can be
arranged to have 40minute counseling sessions, " Yin said.The school also gives lectures on mental health
to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams to help ease any anxiety
arising from the tests.

risk of pancreatic cancer (胰腺癌),an unusual but deadly cancer,researchers reported on Monday.
People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have the same risk,the study of 60,000
people in Singapore found.
Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other poor health
habits,said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota,who led the study.
"The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin (胰岛素) in the body,which
we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth," Pereira said in a statement.
Writing in the journal Cancer Epidemiology,Biomarkers & Prevention,Pereira and his colleagues
said they followed 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study for 14 years.
Over that time,140 of the volunteers developed pancreatic cancer.Those who drank two or more
sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got pancreatic
cancer.
Pereira said he believed the findings would apply elsewhere.
"Singapore is a wealthy country with excellent healthcare.Favorite pastimes (消遣) are eating and
shopping,so the findings should apply to other Western countries," he said.
But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious.
"Although this study found a risk,the finding was based on a relatively small number of cases and it
remains unclear whether it is a causal (因果的) connection or not," said Mayne,who serves on the board
of the journal,which is published by the American Association for Cancer Research.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer,with 230,000 cases globally.In the United
States,37,680 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a year and 34,290 die of it.
B.Scientists from Singapore.
C.Researchers in Yale.
D.Susan Mayne.
B.2 soft drinks a day are considered harmful to health
C.87 out of 140 volunteers developed pancreatic cancer
D.sugar might not be the only cause of pancreatic cancer
B.Doubtful.
C.Worried.
D.Hopeful.
B.Drink Fruit Juice Instead of Sodas
C.A Study in University of Minnesota
D.Sugary Soft Drinks Lead to Cancer
to Houston on Monday to advertise the benefits of offshore drilling at a national conference. He told
reporters before he left that he does not want to postpone drilling but to learn from the accident off
Louisiana"s coast.
"What we do as Americans is that we find out what went wrong and how can we do things better,"
McDonnell said. "I think that"s the spirit of American people. "
President Obama announced in March that Virginia will become one of the first East Coast states to
drill offshore for oil and natural gas. Companies could conduct exploratory drilling in Virginia"s waters
50 miles off the coast late next year or early in 2012.
In Virginia Beach, the state"s largest city and one that relies heavily on tourism, Mayor Will Sessoms
said he would be worried if the timetable was not changed. Sessoms supported drilling and helped the
city pass a resolution (决议) in favor of it, in part to help the tourism industry by keeping the cost of gas
down. But, he said, the Louisiana accident was a wakeup call.
"It"s alarming to me, " Sessoms said. "It gives me great concern. "
Obama swore Friday that no expansion of offshore oil drilling would take place until investigations
into the Louisiana accident were complete.
Virginia"s officials, who support drilling, said they agree that drilling should be delayed. Sen. Mark
Warner said it was "appropriate" for Obama to delay offshore projects. McDonnell said he wants to
see a full investigation into the Louisiana accident, but he still thinks that drilling could begin off Virginia"s
coast as soon as next year or early 2012.
McDonnell has also said that drilling off Virginia"s coast would create thousands of jobs, as well as
lessen US dependence on foreign oil.
A recent explosion and fire on an exploratory well in the Gulf (海湾) of Mexico left 11 workers
missing and dead. Crude oil (原油) has been leaking into the gulf since, inching closer to the coasts of
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.
The accident confirmed the worst fears of environmental groups and people already worried that
possible spills (溢出) could harm plants, animals, and tourism.
B. It should be delayed due to the gulf oil accident.
C. It has a lot of benefits, and thus shouldn"t be delayed.
D. It could make the US dependent on foreign oil.
B. It could help recover the economy.
C. It met the spirit of American people.
D. It partly helped the tourism industry.
B. The leaked crude oil may affect the coasts of 3 states.
C. The investigation into the accident has been completed.
D. Officials who support drilling off Virginia"s coast are not in favor of the investigation.
B. It is dangerous to drill oil off the coasts.
C. People should learn from oil accidents to reduce damage to our environment.
D. Investigations should be carried out immediately after oil accidents.
2010 will be treated to a socalled blue moon.According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second
full moon in a month.But don"t expect it to be blue-the name has nothing to do with the color of our
closest space neighbor.
A full moon occurred on Dec.2,2009.It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year"s
countdown.
"If you"re in Times Square, you"ll see the full moon right above you.It"s going to be that brilliant, " said
Jack Horkheimer, director of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium and host of a weekly astronomy TV
show.
The New Year"s Eve blue moon will be visible in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America
and Africa.For partygoers in Australia and Asia, the full moon does not show up until New Year"s Day,
making January a blue moon month for them.
However, the eastern hemisphere can celebrate with a partial lunar eclipse (月偏蚀) on New Year"s
Eve when part of the moon enters the Earth"s shadow.The eclipse will not be visible in the Americas.
A full moon occurs every 29.5 days, and most years have 12 ones.On average, an extra full moon in
a month-a blue moon-occurs every 2.5 years.The last time there was a blue moon was in May 2007.
New Year"s Eve blue moons are rarer, occurring every 19 years.The last time was in 1990.
Blue moons have no astronomical significance, said Greg Laughlin, an astronomer at the University
of California, Santa Cruz."" Blue moon" is just a name in the same sense as "a hunter"s moon" or "a
harvest moon", " Laughlin said in an email.
The popular definition of blue moon came about after a writer for, Sky & Telescope magazine in
1946 misinterpreted (误解) the Maine Farmer"s Almanac (历书) and labeled a blue moon as the
second full moon in a month.In fact, the almanac defined a blue moon as the third full moon in a season
with four full moons, not the usual three.Though Sky & Telescope corrected the mistake decades later,
the definition caught_on.
