阅读理解     SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND-A British teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported
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.

     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 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. 1. 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  2. 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 3. 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 hands4. According to the last paragraph, diarrhea is a disease that________. A. kills half of the kids in developing countries
