People are more likely to wash their hands properly after using the toilet if they are shamed into it or
think they are being watched, scientists said on Thursday.
Hand-washing is the cheapest way of controlling disease but less than one third of men and two thirds
of women wash their hands with soap after going to the toilet, a British study by the London School of
Hygiene and Tropical Medicine showed.
But when prompted by an electronic message flashing up on a board asking: "Is the person next to you washing with soap?," around 12 percent more men and 11 percent more women used soap.
Health authorities around the world are stepping up efforts to persuade people t
o be more hygienic and wash their hands properly to help slow the spread of H1N1 swine flu, which was declared a pandemic(大流行病) by the World Health Organization in June.
"Hand-washing with soap has been ranked the most effective way for the worldwide control of
disease," the study"s authors wrote.
"It could save more than a million lives a year from diarrhoeal diseases, and prevent respiratory(呼吸)
infections -- the biggest causes of child mortality(死亡) in developing countries."
In developed nations, hand-washing can help prevent the spread of viral infections like flu and sickness and diarrhea bugs like norovirus and rotavirus, as well as hospital-acquired infections like MRSA and
C-difficile, the authors said.
The researchers studied the behavior of a quarter of a million people using toilets at motorway service
stations in Britain over 32 days. Use of soap was monitored by sensors.

Working from home is more and more popular as a means of escaping the ninetofive office life.Why do you work under the eye of your boss when you can work in front of the TV in your slippers?Armed with
all the necessary things-telephone, computer, email and fax, many workers believe they can work as
effectively as their colleagues in the office.Being able to work wherever you like:from a busy city to a
village, and not having to stand the daily things, make working from home an attractive choice.If you wish, you can even work on a river boat.

creating a new wave of virtual(虚拟的) offices.To minimize office in innercity areas, companies will have a work force made up of a network of home workers linked by an advanced communication and
information system.A central processing computer would be controlled by the manager who sends out
work schedules and oversees(监视) the activity of each employee.
A video screen would be created, as the need for email or telephone becomes greater.Seeing the
mood and expressions of work colleagues, managers would have the ability to view several employees at
once on their screen.Employees would be encouraged to feed any information that may be useful to fellow workers into the computer to make the company work more effectively.As the company"s lifeblood, the
computer would contain a record of all conversations and communication for future reference and hold

Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends.Is this a good thing?
Sometimes, when Mr.Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.
"I would never have said to my mom, "Hey, the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like
it?""says Ballmer."There was just a complete gap in taste."
Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier
generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.
Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families.
Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago.Now they
are comfortable and common.And parentchild activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, "To my mother, my best friend."
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.
"There"s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents, but there is a change happening, "
says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College."In the middle of that change, there is a
lot of confusion among parents."
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s
as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.
"My parents were on the "before" side of that change, but today"s parents, the 40yearolds, were on the "after" side, "explains Mr.Ballmer."It"s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because
life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent
now."

3. The change in today"s parentchild relationship is ________.
A. more confusion among parents
B. new equality between parents and children
C. less respect for parents from children
D. more strictness and authority on the part of parents
4. By saying "today"s parents, the 40yearolds, were on the "after" side, "the author means that today"s
parents ________.

B. can set a limit to the change
C. fail to take the change seriously

People from all over the world like to travel to the US.Millions of people visit it each year, and they
spend billions of dollars.Tourism is actually one of the leading industries.Many people like to visit famous
US cities, such as New York City, Washington D. C., Miami, Chicago, Dallas, New Orleans, Denver,
Los Angeles, or San Francisco.Each of those has many tourist attractions.For example, New York has
Broadway plays, and it also has some of the tallest buildings in the world, such as the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center. The World Trade Center that was 411 metres high and had 110 storeys with a twin tower used to be an office building for 1,200 firms. But it was destroyed completely by the
planes of the terrorists on Sept.11,2001. Washington has government buildings as well as monuments and museums. Dallas has the site of President Kennedy"s murder. New Orleans has jazz music and the cities
in California have many ethnic groups with lots of good food.Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida are very popular attractions for tourists with children.The space centers in Florida and Texas are
popular sites for people at all ages to visit. Some tourists prefer to find sites with natural beauty in rural
settings. The mountains in the east and the west are very popular with campers, hikers, and climbers.Some come just to ski and stay in fancy ski resorts like Aspen or Vail. Other come just to golf at nice golf
resorts like Pinewest, which is now partly owned by the Japanese who love golf. Some come to watch
sports, but tickets can be expensive.It costs $100 just to get a back row seat to see a Chicago Bulls game.Two of the most popular places for tourists to visit are the Grand Canyon(大峡谷) and Yellowstone
Park.At times Yellowstone is so crowded with tourists that it almost seems like a city.With the growing
