Some people collect stamps. Other people collect works of art or musical instruments. But a man in the American state of Maryland collects secrets.
For the past 10 years, people have been sending Frank Warren postcards and other objects with secrets written on them. He now has a million secrets. “It’s a drawing of a lift. And the secret says, ‘I feel guilty (感到内疚的) when I take lifts for one floor, so I limp (跛行) when I get
out.’” Frank said.
About ten years ago, Mr. Warren created an art project called PostSecret. People then began to send him postcards, other objects and emails telling their secrets. Every Sunday, he chooses 10 secrets and puts them on the website.
Mr. Warren says he created PostSecret so people could share their secrets in a safe place. “I was struggling with secrets in my own life. And it was by creating this safe place where others could share their secrets with me, I think that space was something I needed just as much as they did.”
He has published six books full of the secrets people have shared with him. One secret in each book is his. Eric Perry delivers mail for the U.S. Postal Service. He has brought thousands of secrets to Frank’s home over the past three years. “I have a couple of the books that Frank’s given me and I’ve read them all and my family has read them all and it’s wild!”
The project itself was once one of Frank’s secrets. His wife Jan didn’t know exactly what he was doing until the first book was published. The publisher told him that the address was going to be on the book, and he refused. However, the address was there just because of the contract between them. Actually Warren wasn’t very happy about that. 25．What did Mr. Warren’s words mean in Paragraph 2?

A．His family are eager to collect the books written by Frank. B．His main job is to post mail and postcards for Frank. C．He is a postman who has a great many secrets. D．He has developed a good relationship with Frank. 28．What is the best title of this passage?

October 15th is Global Handwashing 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 important moments. These include after using the toilet, after bathing a baby and before touching food.

The organizers say all soap is equally useful in removing disease-causing germs (细菌). They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a little water and cover them with soap. Rub (搓) it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Then, wash well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.
The PPPHW says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps lo break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the chances that people will wash again.
