Question

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（肥皂）. Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical(至關(guān)重要的) moments. These include after using the toilet，after cleaning a baby and before touching food.

Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap. Partners include the United Nations Children’s Fund, and soap makers Unilever and Procter and Gamble. The goal，they say，is to create a culture of hand washing with soap.

The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing 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（用清水沖洗） 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 grease（油脂）and dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell，which increases the possibility that people will wash again. It also says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine（疫苗）or medicine. When people get germs on their hands, they can infect themselves by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Then they can infect others.
