The Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors(年長者) have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.
1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?
·Finding:A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.
·Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria(細菌) in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.
2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?
·Finding:Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their
hands only 4 times a day---half of the number which doctors recommend.
·Step:We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs(病菌)to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.
3. How often do you think about fighting germs?
·Finding:Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.

Millions of British people have ditched the traditional “thank you” and took the place of it with the less formal “cheers”, according to a survey.
Although the common person will say “thank you” nearly 5,000 times a year, one in three are more likely to add a “cheers” or “ta” where it’s needed to show they are fashionable.
One in twenty now say “nice one” instead, while the younger are more likely to offer a “cool” than a “thank you”.
“Merci”, “fab” and even “gracias” were also listed as common phrases to use, as “much appreciated(感激)”.
One in twenty who took part in the survey of 2,000 people by the Food Network UK for Thank You Day, which is marked on November 24, 2011, said a formal “thank you” was now not often needed in everyday conversation. More than one in ten adults said they regularly won’t say thank you if they are in a bad mood. Most people stated that saying thank you was something that their parents trained them. A huge 70 percent of those questioned will say thank you to a person’s face without even meaning it, while one fifth avoid(避免)saying it when they know they should.
It seems our friends and family get the stress of our bad manners. Half of them admit (承認) they’re not good at thanking those closest to them. Many of them explain that they don’t say thank you because their family “already know I’m grateful”.
When spoken words won’t do, it falls to a nice text to do the job for most people.
One third will still send a handwritten thank-you note---but 45 percent admit it’s been more than six months since they tried to send one.
A quarter of British people say “thank you” with food, with 23 percent cooking a meal to show their appreciation to someone. Another 15 percent bake a cake.
It follows that 85 percent of people will be angry because of not getting the gratitude (感激)
they feel they should receive.【小題1】Most of the people who took part in the survey say that they say “thank you” _______.
| A.when they are in good mood |
| B.completely out of habit |
| C.when they feel truly grateful |
| D.purely out of politeness |
【小題2】 The underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 means “________”.| A.gave up | B.used |
| C.shared | D.knew |
【小題3】It can be learned from the passage that _______.| A.different ways of expressing gratitude are all fashionable |
| B.people should avoid saying “thank you” nowadays |
| C.a(chǎn) thank-you note is still appreciated by most people |
| D.people in a bad mood never say “thank you” |
【小題4】 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?| A.Most people express their gratitude to others by buying food for them. |
| B.About fifty percent of people try not to say thank you when they should. |
| C.Most people may feel natural when they fail to receive others’ gratitude. |
| D.Many people think it unnecessary to say thanks to their family members. |

Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern airliner(客機), you can travel in one day to places which needed a month or more to get to hundreds of years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but you can see the places you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They even make the longest journey enjoyable(令人愉快的).
Some people prefer to travel by sea. You can visit many other countries or different parts of your country. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.

You can stop if there is something interesting, for example, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night.

People mountain people sea? Yes, this means too many people at a place. This is a photo taken in Shenzhen.
Shenzhen’s fast development has made it become China’s most crowded city! There are about 15 million people living on its 1,991 square kilometres. On average (平均) 7,500 people live on each square kilometre. It is 1,080 more than that in Hong Kong, and nearly 800 more than that in Guangzhou.

People with disabilities make up a large part of the population. It is reported that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are “developmental", that is to say, they happen before people’s twenty-second birthday, often from born conditions, and are hard enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as movement, communication, occupation, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious" (偶然的), i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces.
Before the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Improvements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic (基本的) needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unluckily, these basics are often not available. Human rights such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and achieve work have traditionally been not agreed on the basis of disability.
In recent ten years, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these disagreements of human rights. Congress(國會) replied by passing important laws recognizing(承認) people with disabilities as a protected group under human rights laws.
It is reported that more than half of qualified(有資格的) Americans with disabilities don’t have work, and a lot of those who do work are out of work. About two-thirds live at or below the official lowest level.
Obvious difficulties, especially in communication and public awareness(意識), prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer stopped by law from marrying, a person unable to communicate is excluded(排斥) from society and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.
Only when public attitudes(態(tài)度) advance as far as laws have, disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.
【小題1】. A “developmental" disability ______.
| A.is caused by forces |
| B.happens in youth and affects development |
| C.develops very slowly over time |
| D.is getting harder and harder |
| A.they were not very well looked after |
| B.disabilities destroyed body functions terribly |
| C.they were too poor to get right treatment |
| D.medical treatment were not available |
| A.One | B.Two |
| C.Three | D.Four |
| A.The public tend to(傾向) look down on the disabled people. |
| B.Many disabled people may remain single(保持單身) for their whole life. |
| C.The disabled people feel inferior(不及) to those common people. |
| D.Discriminatory(歧視性) laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others. |
| A.The Causes for Disabilities |
| B.Medical Treatments for Disabilities |
| C.The physical difficulties of the Disabled |
| D.Disadvantages of People with Disabilities |

Have you been asked for money by some disabled beggars while you’re enjoying shopping? Do you have any pity on them who are so poor and lonely or do you just feel afraid of their terrible shapes? As one of the most special groups, disabled people’s living conditions — not only their material (物質(zhì)的) conditions, but their mental (精神的) world — really need improvement.
The treatment for disabled people should go like this: First, don’t look down upon them. Don’t be afraid of looking at the terrible shapes of the disabled. Try to treat them equally.

If you can be a volunteer and do some work for the disabled people, that would be very nice.
