One in 12 said they prefer not to do it in case germs are passed on - a typical hand has about 150 different bacteria living on it.However, the study of 1,003 participants, commissioned by soap firm Radox, found some 87 percent still believe it is more _43_ in business, while 73 percent agree they would rather offer one when meeting someone new.The research _44_ that the Queen has shaken half a million hands, _45_ with an average of 670 for men and 304 for women.Some believe that its _46_ that reserved Brits will ever be able to completely let go of the _47_.

Theres been a lot of influence from all media - particularly on the television when you see celebrities greeting each other with a double kiss.

Signs of it have been found in the bodies of men from many past centuries. But only within recent years has man learned its cause. Ways of curing it are still imperfect. And, far from being under control, the disease already threatens 150-200 million persons and is still spreading. Snail fever is a disease of childhood that remains through old age, not often killing by itself but weakening the people who catch it and making it easy for them to get illness. In its early stage it is marked by fever, too much loose body waste, stomach pain, and later by the destruction of the intestines and hardening of the liver.This old and ugly disease is caused by small flat worms that live in the human body, feeding on blood. Their presence was first discovered in 1851 by Theodor Bilharz, who found the full-grown worms in the human body. The adult females, which measure three-eighths to five-eighths of an inch long, lay their eggs in the blood of the stomach and intestines. Some of these eggs leave the blood to go to the liver and walls of the intestines where a hard outside coat forms around the eggs. The collection of these eggs over a period of time causes the intestines to weaken. The victim passes blood and later the liver hardens.All this, and more, the scientists learned. They found that the worms lay eggs within the bloodstream and that the seriousness of the disease depends on the number of eggs. They learned too that the eggs do not develop within the body. But it took some sixty years of study before the scientists found out how the worms pass from person to person.65. Bilharzia is a serious disease that _.A. causes a quick deathB. causes a slow deathC. seldom causes deathD. never causes death66.

When scientists learned how the disease developed within a person _.A. they also learned how it was given to other peopleB. it still took them a long time to find out how it went from person to personC. they quickly found a way to cure itD. they also learned how animals could catch itBThe management and staff are happy to welcome you and will do all they can to make your stay an enjoyable one.MEAL TIMESOur overnight charge includes a continental-type breakfast.Breakfast: 7:309:30 a.m.Lunch: 12:002:00 p.m.Afternoon tea: 4:005:30 p.m.Dinner: 7:009:15 p.m.Meals can be served in rooms at a small extra charge.

Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.The 19th century saw land grants offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, so
