The Healthy Habits Survey（调查）shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.

1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?

　·Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.

　·Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.

2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?

　·Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day - half of the number doctors recommend.

　·Step: We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day - often inviting germs（病菌）to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.

3. How often do you think about fighting germs?

　·Finding: Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.

　·Step: Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海绵）that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.

健康习惯调查显示，仅有三分之一的美国老年人有健康的习惯。以下是一些调查结果以及专家的建议。

1 .你昨天刷了几次牙？

　·调查结果:33%的老年人一天只刷一次牙。

　·应对步骤:每天早晨用电牙刷刷牙可以帮助你清除300种潜藏在嘴巴里的细菌。轻轻刷2分钟，一天至少刷两次。

2 .你昨天洗了几次手或沐浴了几次？

　·调查结果:老年人每周洗澡天数不足3天，近30%的人每天仅洗4次手，这是医生建议次数的一半。

　·应对步骤:我们每天摸脸不下3000次，这样通常会让细菌进入我们的嘴、鼻子和眼睛里。我们可以使用卫生纸来避免触摸门把手，最重要的是，我们要经常用热自来水和肥皂洗手，且要持续洗20秒。

3 .你认为应该多久对抗一次细菌呢？

　·调查结果:老年人像他们本应该做到的那样来不能抵抗细菌。

　·应对步骤:注意细菌。你知道吗，不是你的厕所而是你的厨房海绵携带的细菌比其他任何东西都要多。为了杀死这些细菌，你需要把你的海绵放入微波炉内，加热10秒。

答案解析

56. D 考查细节理解。根据文章开头部分可知，多数美国老年人没有好的习惯，故A项错误；30%的美国老年人每天洗手四次，而不是每周洗澡三天，故B项错误；根据第三五个问题下Finding的内容"Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should."可知C项错误。根据第一个问题下 Finding的内容" A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day."可知D项表述正确。

57. D 考查细节理解。根据第二个问题下Finding中的"And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a dad - half of the number doctors recommend. "可知，每天洗手四次只是医生建议的一

半，由此可知，医生建议的次数是每天八次。故选D。

58. C 考查细节理解。根据第三个问题下Step内容中的"Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge (海绵) that can carry more germs than anything else?"可知C项正确。

59. B 考查文章出处。通读全文可知，本文显然不是书评( a book review)，也不是政府文件(an official document)。A项有较强的干扰性，但本文主要是面向公众的日常知识普及，而不是生活指导。故选B。
