6．In 1988，a company in Ohio invented an alcohol-based hand cleaner，which was meant to be used by health-care worker； when soap and water were unavailable．Joe Kanfer，the company's C．E．O．，told me recently，"there were a couple of other alcohol products out there，but they were really ugly．Either they were greasy （油膩的） or they burned your hands white．"Kanfer took a year and a half to develop this product which is visually appealing and does almost no harm to one's skin．Still．Kanfer lost money on it for more than a decade because people couldn't get what it was for．
T    he product was called Purell．Today，you see it everywhere．My doctor uses it several times during every office visit．You can hear it in almost every office in the U．S．a(chǎn)nd school picnics would be impossible without it．The former president Grorge W．Bush was called a racist for using hand cleaner after first shaking hands with Barack Obama，but Bush also gave some of it to Obama and recommended it as a cold preventative （預(yù)防藥）．What was once barely even a product is now a growing product category，worth hundreds of millions per year．
    The rise of Purell makes some health professionals uneasy．Some claimed that promoting hand cleaner may worsen"our culture's irrational （非理性的） fear about bacteria．"Still，the clear agreement among experts is that unclean hands pose a serious health risk，and are one of the main reasons in the spread of infections in hospitals．A 2007 study estimated that，in America in 2002，such infections resulted in more than a million and a half patient illnesses and caused or contributed to nearly a hundred thousand patient deaths-about double the number of U．S．deaths currently caused each year by AIDS and guns combined．
    However，I asked a food microbiologist whether clean hands might have a medical drawback．He said，"We might have a much healthier population if we adopted the kinds of condition that we see in many Third World countries，with poor-quality food and poor-quality water and lots of bacteria．If we did that，we would have adults who were very healthy and have very strong immune systems．Unfortunately，the price that we would pay would be extremely high child death rate．"

28．Why did Joe Kanfer lose money on his product according to Paragraph 1？A
A．Because people didn't think it useful．
B．Because people thought it was ugly．
C．Because it was harmful to the skin．
D．Because it burned the hands white．
29．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？B
A．Purell brings in lots of money for Kanfer．
B．Purell has been widely used in the US．
C．Purell is a cold preventative．
D．Purell meets different needs．
30．What mainly caused patient deaths according to the figures in Paragraph 3？C
A．People's fear about bacteria．
B．Hand cleaner．
C．Bacteria on the dirty hands．
D．AIDS and guns．
31．What can we learn about the people in Third World countries？D
A．They adopt healthy living habits．
B．They have poor immune systems．
C．They eat food with fewer bacteria．
D．Their child death rate remains high．

18．There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky（威士忌）at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle．When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873，she wrote in her diary，"I never saw a lovelier spot，"
    Scotland is not easily defined．In certain moments，this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes．When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light，the rivers，teeming with fish，can turn into streams of gold．As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy，near the Inverlochy Castle，any frustration（煩惱） will float away as gently as the circling water．It's just you and purple，pink，white flowers，seeking a perfect harmony．If you are a new comer to fishing，learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun．For many，fishing is more than a sport； it is an art．
    Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day's fishing．Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland，the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains．Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains，and reaching its 1，342-metre top is a challenge．But it's not just what goes up matters； what comes down is unique．More than 900metres high，on the mountain's north face，lies an all-important source of pure water．Its name comes from the Gaelic（蓋爾特） language"usqueb"or"water of life"； And it is the single most important ingredient（原料） in Scotland's best-known drink：whisky．

29．How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed？D
A．By making comparisons．
B．By following time order．
C．By analyzing causes．
D．By giving descriptions．
30．What is Ben Nevis specially noted for？B
A．The challenge up to its top．
B．The water from the mountain．
C．The beauty of its surroundings．
D．The Inverlochy Castle Hotel．

A．To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists．

C．To show the attractions of Scotland to readers．
D．To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland．

A．The Queen is rich in tour experience
B．The year of 1873is special for the Queen
