【推荐1】Having clean hands is important because people often use their hands to touch their eyes, noses and mouths. Touching these areas gives germs (细菌) the chance to go into the body.

“Washing hands is an important lifetime habit for staying healthy,” doctors say. Cleaning your hands is one of the best and also the easiest ways to protect yourself from getting sick. But it takes more than just placing your hands under running water for a few seconds.

How can you make sure you are washing your hands correctly? Here are five easy steps you can take to wash your hands.

● Wet your hands with warm water.

● Lather up with soap. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.

● Rub your hands for at least 20 seconds－about the time it takes to sing “Happy Birthday” song twice.

● Wash your hands well under warm, running water.

● Dry your hands with a clean towel.

You should always wash your hands before meals after eating, after using the toilet, after returning home, after touching animals ...

We hope you can have the habit of hand washing.

【推荐3】Have you noticed the waste bins in different colors on the street? Do you often put all the waste in the same bin? It’s reported by Changehun Daily that people must do waste sorting (分类) in most places in Changchun at the end of 2019. Waste sorting is a wonderful way to make good use of energy and protect the environment. But do you know how to sort the waste?

Usually, people should sort their waste into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Different kinds of waste should go into different bins. Wet waste means the things you don’t want but pigs can eat, mostly coming from your kitchen. Things that can be used again, such as paper, metal and glass, are recyclable waste. Harmful waste might be dangerous or cause serious pollution, like medicine and batteries (电池). And any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go into the dry waste bin.

Different countries are trying different ways to sort the waste. A university in England has a smart bin. When people drop their waste into the bin, it can tell what kind of waste it is and sort it correctly. The bin can also compress (压缩) the waste to make it smaller in size and take up less space. In South Korea, people have to separate their food waste from other kinds of waste and pay for it. The more food waste they throw away, the more they pay. In Japan, plastic bottles and their caps should go into different bins.

1. Why does the writer use two questions at the beginning of the passage?

B．All the countries around the world are doing waste sorting these days.

C．Changchun has the strictest rules for waste sorting in the world.

【推荐2】Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.

A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert, so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.

Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.

Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.

However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
