US scientists say they have poured cold water on the theory that washing hands with hot water kills more germs than unheated water. The small study of 20 people found using water at 15C (59F) left hands as clean as water heated to 38C (100F).

National Health Service (NHS) recommends that people wash their hands in either cold or warm water. In this study, scientists at Rutgers University-New Brunswick wanted to find out if popular assumptions about the benefits of warm or hot water and official guidance on hot water — given to the food industry in the US — held true. They asked 20 people to wash their hands 20 times each with water that was 15C (59F), 26C (79F) or 38 degrees (100F). Volunteers were also asked to experiment with varying amounts of soap. Before they started the tests, their hands were covered in harmless bugs. Researchers say there was no difference in the amount of bugs removed as the temperature of the water or the amount of soap changed.

Prof Donald Schaffner said: “People need to feel comfortable when they are washing their hands but as far as effectiveness goes, this study shows us that the temperature of the water used did not matter.”

However, the researchers accept their study is small and say more extensive work is needed to determine the best ways to remove harmful bacteria.

In the UK, NHS experts say people can use cold or hot water to wash their hands. They say hands should be washed for at least 20 seconds and stress the importance of using enough soap to cover the whole surface of the hands. Their guidance focuses on rubbing hands together in various ways to make sure each surface of each hand is clean.

28. What does the underlined phrase “poured cold water” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Supported. B. Disapproved. C. Created. D. Accepted.

29. After they washed their hands with either hot or cold water, . A. volunteers all didn’t feel very comfortable B. volunteers all talked about American food industry C. volunteers still had much germ on their hands

D. volunteers nearly had the same amount of germ removed 30. How do the researchers feel about their study?

A. It is popular. B. It is convincing. C. It is incomplete. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. Using Cold Water Instead of Hot Water. B. How to Use Cold Water to Wash Hands. C. It Is Better to Wash Hands in Cold Water. D. Washing Hands in Cold Water as Good as Hot.

D. It is abstract.

Bangkok, Thailand, is known for having some of the best street food in the world. But officials have announced plans to ban food vendors (摊贩) in an effort to clean up the city. An assistant to Bangkok's governor told The Nation newspaper the move meant to improve the appearance, walkability (可步行性) and safety of city streets.

“The street vendors have seized the pavement space for too long and we already provide them with space to sell food and other products legally in the market,” the assistant said. “So there will be no let-up in this operation - every street vendor will have to move out.”

Bangkok was recently named the world’s finest street food location for the second year by Cable News Network (CNN).

Vendors can be found in all of Bangkok’s busiest areas. They serve everyone from business people to tourists to local citizens. The chairs and tables are basic. Customers have to deal with Bangkok’s extreme heat and polluted air while they eat. But the tasty food keeps people coming back again and again.

Nont Nontskiul is a financial worker in Bangkok. He lives in a part of the city where street vendors will be some of the first to be removed. He told The Associated Press that,

“Even people who eat at pricey restaurants every day can’t avoid street food. It’s faster, tastes better, and costs less than half the price.”

Critics of the street food clean-up campaign say low-income people - including food vendors and their customers will be most affected by the ban. They have called on the government to do more to help the vendors keep their businesses going in a legal way.

Ubolwattana Mingkwan is a coffee vendor in Bangkok. She charges 85 cents for a cup of coffee. She says she cannot afford the cost of rent required to do business in a

government-approved area. “I’ve asked city officials for help and understanding,” she told The Associated Press. “All they say now is ‘No, no, no.’ They’ve already received their orders.”

32. Why do the officials want to forbid street vendors? A. To force them to leave. B. To remove street food. C. To keep the city in order. D. To offer convenience to residents.

33. How does the author think of the street vendors in Bangkok? A. They pollute the air in the city. B. They usually sell unhealthy food. C. They earn too little to support themselves. D. They play an important role in daily life.

34. What’s the problem with government-approved areas for street traders? A. Their rents are too high for them. B. They will make food hard to sell. C. They are controlled by the government. D. No one will go there for food.

35. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the move in Bangkok? A. Subjective
