CLook closely at your hands. Are they clean? It doesnt matter how many times you wash your hands, tiny microbes(微生物) still stay on them. But dont worry. Most microbes dont harm you.Now scientists say the microbes on our hands could be used in a surprising way: fighting crime. According to a recent survey, microbes as well as fingerprints could be used to identify the criminal.Everyone has his own set of microbes on the hands. That is to say, if you and your best friend were able to see and compare all the microbes on your hands, your hands probably would look different. Some microbes only show up on your hands while others live only on your friends hands.When you work on a computer you leave the microbes from your hands on the keyboard. The scientists can easily tell the owner of the keyboard by looking at the microbes on it. Even if you dont leave your fingerprints behind, your microbes may give you away.Noah Fierer, a scientist, says, “You can only clean a fingerprint, but you cant sterilize(使无菌) a surface just by wiping it off,” He says that scientists have a lot more work to do before the microbe is used as a useful too.71.

Fingerprints Help Catch CriminalsDDo animals have a culture? What do we mean by “culture”? Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.Our culture lets us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects of human behavior, or “culture,” can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example, we used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.76. Whats the main idea of this passage?A.
