creatures we didnt even know about. a showerhead carries thousands of bacteria called mycobacteriumthese can cause problems like coughs and tiredness, and a general feeling of poorliness (身体不舒服). when you turn on the water, the bacteria go from the showerhead onto and into your body. this is a finding of norman r. pace and his team at the university of colorado, in the us. the scientists investigated bacteria in all kinds of human environment, including showerspaces team looked at 45 showerheads in nine american cities. they discovered that 30 percent of them had large amounts of flying mycobacterium. but pace said that they pose few threats to the healthonly those with a weak immune system might need to worryhe told the new york times that the bacteria are not as unpleasant as might be thoughthe said that having a shower is no more dangerous than anything else we do in the morningbut for those who feel sick about the idea of all those microorganisms (微生物), he had some advice. let the water run for 30 seconds before getting into the shower. why? the number of bacteria is smaller than that when the water is just turned on. if that seems like a waste of water, he added that you could also change your showerhead every few months. however, pace had good news too. he has also been testing the air in us subways. apart from iron particles (粒子), which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains, subway air is fresh. the reason is that a trains movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels. pace explained that he wanted to understand the natural microbial environments of public places. this kind of knowledge might help discover the microbes to be used in a bioterrorist (生物恐怖分子) attack.【小题1】 from the finding of norman r. pace, after taking a shower, we

the summer learning gap. some call it the summer learning setback. simply speaking, it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget. the only thing they might gain is weight. most american schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar. students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. some schools follow a year-round calendar. they hold classes for about eight weeks at a time, with a few weeks off in between. the national association for year-round education says there were fewer than three thousand such schools at last count. they were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.but many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school. lead researcher paul von hippel said, “year-round schools dont really solve the problem of the summer learning setback. they simply spread it out across the year.”across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students. experts say this can be prevented. they note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.but calling them “summer school” could be a problem. the director of the summer learning center at johns hopkins, ron fairchild, said research with groups of different parents in chicago and baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”. in american culture, the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood. the parents welcomed other terms like “summer camp”, “enrichment”, “extra time” and “hands-on learning”.31. according to the first paragraph the summer learning gap .a. helps children to gain weightb. leads children to work harderc. improves childrens memoriesd. affects childrens regular studies【答案】d 【解析】细节理解题。根据simply speaking, it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget.暑假影响了学生的正常的学习，故选d。32.
