Thats according to a 2017 Harris Poll. Many people use the five-second rule. The rule says that fallen food is safe to eat if it has been on the floor for less than five seconds. Can people really use the five-second rule to save a dropped sandwich? Or should they throw it and make a fresh one?Donald Schaffner is a professor of food science. His study shows that the five-second rule should not always be used. In his 2016 report, he says its not wise to eat dropped wet food. The wet food takes in bacteria (细菌 ) as soon as it falls. Bacteria dont have legs, they move with the moisture, Schaffner says. The wetter the food is, the more bacteria it soaks up(吸收) .Anthony Hilton studied the five-second rule too. He is a professor of Life and Health Sciences.Hilton found that a dry food on the floor collects fewer bacteria than a wet food. Hilton also found that carpeted floors pass fewer bacteria than wood floors. Still, one should be careful. Food that is on the floor is never completely risk-free to eat, he says. But if you drop a dry food in your house, its usually okay if you pick it up very quickly. Most clean homes dont have bad bacteria.Should you eat food that was dropped on the kitchen counter? Dr. Steven Dowshen is a doctor for children. He says that floors are not the only place that can make food unsafe to eat. Kitchen counters can contain more harmful bacteria, Dowshen told TFK. This is because raw foods sometimes have bad bacteria called salmonella. These raw foods can be on kitchen counters. If people eat food off a surface that has salmonella, they can get very sick, says Dowshen.With the five-second rule, the type of food and the place where it falls matter. So perhaps use this e instead: When in doubt, throw it out.（1）Whats Donald Schaffners opinion about the five-second rule? A . The five-second rule should always be used.B . The drier the food is, the more bacteria it takes in.C . Its a good choice to eat the dropped wet food.D . The minute the wet food falls, it soaks up bacteria.（2）The underlined word risk-free probably means “ ”. A . deliciousB . dangerousC . safeD . easy（3）What can you infer from the passage? A . People should not eat a dropped sandwich on any places.B . People cannot eat food that is on the floor because of salmonella.C . People need to consider the type of the dropped food before eating.D . People should be careful about the food dropped on the kitchen counter.（4）Whats the writers purpose of writing the passage? A . To introduce the five-second rule to people.B . To encourage people to use the five-second rule.C . To show different peoples opinions about the five-second rule.D . To advise people to think twice before using the five-second rule.14. （6分）阅读下面材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。APing-pong Club Do you like to play ping-pong? Do you want to play ping-pong well?

They can sleep for a long time. This kind of winter sleep is called “hibernation”. If an animal moves about a lot, it needs food. Hibernating animals do not need to eat much because they are not moving about. Their hearts(心脏) beat very slowly and they also breathe(呼吸) slowly. They find a place that is sheltered(遮蔽的) from bad weather and where they are out of danger. Their body fat(脂肪) keeps them alive and warm. Some animals, such as bears, may wake up from their hibernation on warm winter days and then quickly go back to sleep again when they see the snow is still thick on the ground. When the weather becomes warmer in spring, the animals start to wake up and look for food. （1）If an animal moves about a lot, it needs _.
