(2009·重庆第一次诊断)New York—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.
Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical 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.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 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 dirt that holds most of the germs.And it usually leaves a pleasant smell,which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.
It also says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine.It could help reduce cases of diarrhea(痢疾),which is the second leading cause of child deaths,killing more than one and a half million children a year,by almost half.

(2009·南昌调研) Many people wonder why the United States has been a hot spot for Chinese students for years,despite its extremely strict visa policy.On the other hand,China's rise as an economic powerhouse is resulting in a rapid expansion of its higher education system,making it the faster-growing destination for American foreign exchange students.
Recently,according to a study by the Institute of International Education,a research organization based in New York,the number of American students seeking higher education in China has never been greater,increasing by 90 percent from 2002 to 2004.Alan Goodman,president of the institute,believes that the phenomenon lies in the pace of change in China,which is spending billions of dollars to expend and transform its higher educational facilities into world-class institutions.
“China is a job market,”said Professor Chou,professor of East Asian Studies at Princeton University.“Twenty years ago,only those interested in Chinese literature would study Chinese language.Now all professors have opened up.”
China now ranks 9th as a host destination for American students,advancing from the
No.12 spot it held a year earlier.The study revealed that Britain continues to be the leading destination,attracting 16.8 percent of all American students who study abroad.On the other hand,in the 2004~2005 academic year,China sent more than 62,000 students to the United States,nearly 60 percent more than a decade earlier.According to the study,the Chinese now make up 11 percent of foreign students in the United States,the second-largest group behind students from India.

Is there a “success personality”—some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably (必然地) to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula (公式) , and can anyone develop it?
At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, inquiring into the attitudes of 1500 distinguished people selected at random from Who's Who in America.Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is common sense.
Common sense is the most widely possessed quality of the people surveyed. Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61 percent say that common sense is very important in contributing to their success.
