26、 Mom and Dad always said it—and they were right: Wash your hands. The practice can save you from cold and flu viruses, not to mention scary things like coronavirus. But if you don’t wash properly, you’re putting yourself at risk Don’t make these mistakes.
You don’t wash long enough
A study from Michigan State University study published in the Journal of Environmental Health found that 95 percent of people don’t wash hands long enough to effectively kill germs—that’s 20 seconds of scrubbing with soap and water, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We tell kids and adults to sing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song twice," says Roshini Raj, MD, a clinical associate professor in the Department of Medicine at NYU Langone Health The average hand-washing time was only about six seconds, the MSU study found.
You don’t dry thoroughly
The most diligent handwashing techniques are worthless if you skimp on drying. Germs love to breed in the wet, says Dr. Raj. Leaving the restroom with still-damp hands can make, it easier to pick up germ a microbes from the next surface you touch. If you have the choice of paper towels or air blowers, choose the paper towels. In a review of handwashing studies dating back to the 1970s, researchers concluded that paper towels are superior to driers at getting hands properly dry without spattering germs or drying out skin.
You wash only after using the bathroom
Anytime you touch a public surface — elevator buttons, a doorknob, the ATM, or a subway pole — you’re at risk for picking up germs or bacteria. "Most people know to wash after going to the bathroom, but you should wash periodically throughout the entire day, especially during cold and flu season," says Dr. Raj.

【3】Why does Dr. Raj. advise us to dry our hands thoroughly?
A.Because our wet hands will pollute other things. B.Because germs like to live in dry situation.
C.Because the water on our hands is dirty. D.Because germs will breed on your wet hands.

The girl replied. “Uncle, if you are in a hurry. put the letter under the door. I am coming. It will take some more time…”
The postman said, “No, I am waiting. It is a registered letter. So someone’s signature (签字) is also needed.”
About ten minutes later. the door opened.
The postman was a little angry, and was about to shout at the girl, However, as soon as the door opened, he was shocked to see that in front of him was a little handicapped girl who had no legs. The postman quietly gave her the letter, took her signature and left.
The little girl often lived alone in her house. Her mother was not in this world and her father had to work far away.
In a month or two whenever mails came, the postman would knock and call for the girl and then wait patiently at the door. Gradually, interaction and attachment (情感) grew between them. The little girl noticed that the postman used to come barefoot(赤脚的) to deliver mails.
It rained one morning. When the postman left after giving a letter to the girl, his footprints were left on the wet ground. The girl came out with a paper, put it on print and took down a picture of his feet. She decided to give him a surprise on the New Year’s Day. which was around the corner.
