Did you have a bad day yesterday? If you have one bad day after another, you need to learn the 90/10 secret (秘訣).

A bad start

Jack’s daughter, Emily, knocked over (打翻) a cup of milk and it fell on his trousers at breakfast yesterday. Jack got annoyed. He shouted at his daughter and she started to cry.

“Why did you shout at her?” asked his wife. “Why did you put the cup on the edge (邊緣) of the table?” replied Jack. Then he went to change his trousers.

Because she was upset, Emily didn’t get ready for school in time and she missed her bus. Jack had to drive Emily to school. Because he didn’t have enough time, he forgot his bag. He was forty minutes late for work. As soon as he got there, he had to go home again to get his bag.

Did it have to be a bad start?

Again the milk fell on Jack’s trousers, but this time he didn’t shout. He smiled and said, “It’s OK. Don’t worry!” Then he went to change his trousers. When he came back, Emily said, “Bye, Daddy.” And she ran out to catch her bus. Jack went to work early, and he had a great day.

So, here’s the 90/10 secret.

Ten percent of life is what happens to us. We can’t control it. That’s life. Things happen and we have to deal with (應對) them.

Ninety percent of life, however, is how we deal with it. Remember that when something bad happens next time.

Every year on 15th October, over 200 million people around the world take part in Global Handwashing Day. But why do we have a day for something we do all the time? Well, research shows that not enough people often wash their hands with soap. Experts believe that this leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.

Sidibe, a public health expert says soap is the most beautiful invention in public health'. Washing your hands with soap can have a huge impact on reducing (減少) the spread of diseases. Handwashing with soap prevents babies from getting ill and keeps children healthy and in school.

However, washing hands with soap does not happen as often as you might think. This is partly because there aren't enough resources (資源) in poorer countries, but it's also because for many people, handwashing is simply not part of their everyday life. It's not easy to get people to change habits they learned in early childhood -- but this is what Global Handwashing Day wants to do.

In 2008, the Indian cricket team joined around 100 million Indian schoolchildren in washing their hands to promote (促進) the first ever Global Handwashing Day. Every year since then, many different events have been held around the world. In 2014. Global Handwashing Day was used in the fight against Ebola, a very serious disease, with events held in affected (受感染的) African countries.

Today, local and national leaders continue to use the day to spread the message about the importance of clean hands. The hope is that handwashing becomes a necessary part of people's lives and improves the health of millions around the world.

1.Who started Global Handwashing Day?

A. Public health experts.

B. The Indians.

C. African schoolchildren.

D. Government leaders.

2.What does the underlined word "impact" mean?

A. Danger.

B. Influence.

C. Background.

D. Problem.

3.What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Washing hands with soap is good for public health.

B. Washing hands with soap doesn't become part of people's lives.

C. People are holding many different events to fight against diseases.

D. People all over the world are encouraged to wash hands with soap.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Learning to Use Soap.

B. Fighting Against Diseases.

C. Living a Healthy Life.

D. Changing Your Habits.

1.B 2.B 3.D 4.A 【解析】試題這是一篇說明文，文章主要講述了全球洗手日對清潔雙手的促進作用，借全球洗手日來表現(xiàn)清潔雙手對人體健康的重要意義。 1.題意：誰開始了全球洗手日？考查細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段In 2008, the Indian cricket team joined around 100 million Indian schoolchildre...
