Question

The Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors 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 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 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.

Step：Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge(海綿)that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.

【解析】

試題分析：本文是關于健康習慣的調查。在一天刷幾次牙，洗手沐浴幾次，以及多久考慮過和細菌戰(zhàn)斗一次等方面，描述了一些美國老年人的習慣并給出了專家建議。

1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.”可知大約三分之一的美國老年人一天只刷一次牙，故選C。

2.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day----half of the number doctors recommend.”一天洗4次手是專家建議的一半，可知專家建議每天洗8次手。故答案選A。

3.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge(海綿)that can carry more germs than anything else?”可知廚房里的海綿比任何其他東西（包括廁所）攜帶的細菌都多。所以C是正確的。

4.推理判斷題。由文章內容可知，這是一份調查報告，是針對美國老年人的健康習慣所做的調查。這樣的文章理應不會出現(xiàn)在 “ 旅游指南 ”“ 書評 ”“ 官方文件 ” 里，故排除 A、 C、 D。流行雜志做這樣的調查報告很常見， 故選 B。
