ground, instead I was employed as an artist, drawing what they found. However, I was soon more interested in the stories behind the objects than in drawing them and thathow my career in archaeology started.

In archaeology, my all-time hero is an American called Raphael Pumpelly. I first heard about him when I was a student on a trip to Turkmenistan, a country right in the heart of Asia. To get around the country, I had to learn Russian so that I could speak to the local people. When I got there I thought, “Wow! I’m one of the first Americans here!” Then an old man told me about an American archaeologist, Raphael Pumpelly, who was there doing the same thing over 100 years ago.
Archaeology’s in my family. My wifetwo boys aren
’s in the same profession, and, although our
’t interested in the future in archaeology themselves, we’ve been o
great digs together and they love what we do because they get to travel with us. Last summer, we took them to Lake Titicaca in South America, in the high areas of the Andes mountain range. My best experience was when I was digging on the Egyptian
Red Sea coast. There’s very little rain and it’s so dry that everything is kept as it was.
an old house, where the owner used to store goods from the ships that came in, I picked up a 700-year-old mat in front of the house and there, under it, after all that time, was the house key with the owner
’s name carved on it. It felt like he could be on his way

home any minute! And I thought, “Hey, I do just that. This manme!”

People typically wash their hands seven times a day in the United States, but they do it at a far higher temperature than is necessary to kill germs , a new study says. The energy waste is equivalent to the fuel use of a small country.
Amanda R. Carrico, a research assistant professor at the Vanderbilt Institute for Energy and Environment in Tennessee, told National Geographic that hand washing is often case where people act in ways that they think are in their best interest, but they in fact have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions.Carrico said,
”
“a
“It’s certainly true that heat kills bacteria, but if you were going to use hot
water to kill them it would have to be away too hot for you to tolerate.Carrico said that after a review of the scientific literature, her team found
that using hot water that a person could stand would have any benefit in killing bacteria.Even water as cold as 40F (4.4°C) appeared to reduce bacteria as well as hotter water, °if hands were scrubbed, rinsed（冲洗）and dried properly.
Using hot water to wash hands is therefore unnecessary, as well as wasteful, Carrico said, particularly when it comes to the environment. According to her research, people use warm or hot water 64 percent of the time when they wash their hands. Using that number, Carrico
’s team calculated a significant impact on the planet.
”
“n”
“Although the choice of water temperature during a single hand wash may appear unimportant, when multiplied by the nearly 800 billion hand washes performed by Americans each year, this practice results in more than 6 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually,
” she said.
The researchers published their results in the July 2013 issue of International Journal of Consumer Studies. They recommended washing with water that is at a
temperature, which they noted may be warmer in cold months and cooler in hot ones. 24. What’s the meaning of what Carrico told National Geographic in the second paragraph?
A. People are more concerned about their health and begin to wash their hands. B. It’s important for people to wash their hands to keep healthy. C. Generally, people
’s hand washing behaviors and perceptions are not correct.
“comfortable
D. People like washing their hands very much.
25. The figures in the sixth paragraph are used to show that __________. A. using hot water to wash hands has a bad influence on our planet. B. air pollution has become more and more serious. C. using hot water to wash hands is a waste of energy.
D. people should pay more attention to the environment around us. 26. This passage is organized in the pattern of __________. A. fact and opinion B. cause and effect C. definition and classification D. time and events 27. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It’s necessary and useful for people to wash their hands frequently every day.B. We can wash our hands with water that is at a
“comfortable” temperature.
