Food picked up just a few seconds after being dropped is less likely to contain bacteria than if it is left for longer periods of time, according to the findings of research carried out at Aston University’s School of Life and Health Sciences. The findings suggest there may be some scientific basis of the "5-second rule" — the belief about it being fine to eat food that has only had contact with the floor for five seconds or less. Although people have long followed the ‘5-second rule’, until now it was unclear whether it actually helped.

The study, undertaken by final year Biology students and led by Anthony Hilton, Professor of Microbiology at Aston University, monitored the transfer of the common bacteria from a variety of indoor floor types as carpet, cement floor to toast, pasta, biscuit and a sticky sweet when contact was made from 3 to 30 seconds. The results showed that: time is a significant factor in the transfer of bacteria from a floor surface to a piece of food, and the type of flooring the food has been dropped on has an effect, with bacteria least likely to transfer from carpeted surfaces and most likely to transfer from cement flooring surfaces to moist foods making contact for more than 5 seconds. Professor Hilton said, "Consuming food dropped on the floor still carries an infection risk as it very much depends on which bacteria are present on the floor at the time."

The Aston team also carried out a survey of the number of people who employ the ‘five-second rule’. The survey showed that: 87% of the people surveyed said they would eat food dropped on the floor, or already have done so. 55% of those that would, or have eaten food dropped on the floor are women. 81% of the women who would eat food from the floor would follow the ‘5-second rule’. Professor Hilton added, "Our study showed that a surprisingly large majority of people are happy to consume dropped food, with women the most likely to do so. But they are also more likely to follow the ‘5-second rule, which our research has shown to be much than an old wives’ tale."

1.According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. A toast dropped on the carpet is easier to be polluted than that dropped on the cement floor.

B. A sticky chocolate dropped on the carpet is easier to be polluted than that dropped on the cement floor.

C. The food dropped on the carpet shares the same potential of being polluted with the food dropped on the cement floor.

D. The food dropped on the cement floor is not as safe as food dropped on the carpet within 30 seconds.

2.What is the passage probably developed?

A. Contrast B. Example

C. Time D. Space

3.How did Professor Hilton feel after analyzing how many people chose to eat dropped food?

A. Puzzled. B. Upset.

C. Satisfied. D. Astonished.

4.What is the main idea of this passage?

A. The food which is dropped on the floor can be eaten safely.

B. A research on the safety of food dropped on the floor is undertaken.

C. The bacteria have no negative effect on the safety of food.

D. People surveyed in the research are willing to accept the idea.

A lot of students around the world have to wear uniforms every day, but dress codes are not the same in every country.1.

Not all children like to wear uniforms in their everyday life. When I was a school girl, I had to wear a uniform. It was a dark brown dress with a black apron. I couldn’t wear anything else. All the girls in my country had to wear this uniform.2.

My friends and I talked about it very often. 3. All we wanted was to feel comfortable and to be different from other children.

Nowadays, the dress code in my country has changed. There are no more uniforms. 4. For example, my younger brother, who is a high school student, now likes to wear jeans because they are comfortable, and he doesn’t want to change back to a uniform.

However, the government now wants to make a new dress for schools and require uniforms again. Fortunately, the new uniform is supposed to be less formal than the old one.

5. If children prefer to wear colorful clothes, adults should permit them to do so. Kids have to enjoy going to school. That is why everything has to be done to make pupils feel comfortable at school.

5．About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio（影棚）to take part in a crowd-scene．Although our"act"would last only for a short time，we could see quite a number of interesting things．
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene，setting up trees at the edge of a winding path．Very soon，bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was
wheeled into position．The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby．Since it was hot in the studio，it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path．A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him，and soon the trees were covered in"snow"．Two more fans were turned on，and a"strong wind"blew through the trees．The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold．
The next scene was a complete contrast（對比）．The way it was filmed was quite unusual．Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen．An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island．By a simple trick like this，palm trees，sandy beaches，and blue，clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next，we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us．For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film"Stars"!

64．Who is the author？C
A．A cameraman．             B．A film director．
C．A crowd-scene actor       D．A workman for scene setting
65．What made the author feel cold？B
A．The heavy snowfall．       B．The man-made scene．
C．The low temperature．      D．The film being shown．
66．What would happen in the"three minutes"mentioned，in the last paragraph？A
A．A new scene would be filmed．
B．More stars would act in the film．
C．The author would leave the studio．
D．The next scene would be prepared．
