Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash

11、 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 Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public Private Partnership for handwashing wit

12、h soap. The goal，they say，is to create a culture of handwashing with soap. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing diseasecausing germs (细菌)They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas，includ

13、ing under the fingernails. Then，wash 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.

14、 smell，which increases the chances that people will wash again.It also says that washing hands with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine.

18、ing handsMany people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well. Listening well a

19、lso requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as bracketing. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone elses world from the inside, stepping int

20、o his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the ener

21、gy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listenin

22、g selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us.

24、 psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patients sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for t

25、he first time ever.5The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _.A. preparing a topic list firstB. focusing on ones own mindC. directing the talk to the desired resultsD. experiencing the speakers inside world6What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A.

28、festyle.On April22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things.

29、d this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started.

45、arts to bite. For colleagues in the East, the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut.Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times, which will prevent unemployment and may help Asian economies survive at a time of sl

46、owing exports. The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, but build up a more loyal and devoted group.“In the Confucian mindset(儒家思想), the right thing to do is to share the burden（

47、负担） , which is the sense of collective responsibility.
