These include one taken by US celebrity(名人) Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with
18、former UK Prime Minister David Cameron，according to the BBC.The gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show.Hurst is perhaps not being 100 percent serious.He isnt claiming that a snap you take of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a selfimage pain

25、t after a review of the scientific literature，her team found “no evidence that using hot water that a person could stand would have any benefit in killing bacteria.” Even water as cold as 40F(4.4C) appeared to reduce bacteria as well as hotter water，if hands were scrubbed，rinsed(冲洗) and dried proper
26、ly.Using hot water to wash hands is therefore unnecessary，as well as wasteful，Carrico said，particularly when it comes to the environment.According to her research，people use warm or hot water 64 percent of the time when they wash their hands.Using that number，Carricos team calculated a significant i

Many people are put off by the idea of “chemicals in food.” The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals. Natural substances like milk, as wel
33、l as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas. Some chemical substances are indeed harmful, but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat.The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances. Some people fee
34、l that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be avoided. But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten, and some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food. Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that
35、 are exactly alike: vitamin C is vitamin C, whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange. Like “chemical”, “man-made” doesnt necessarily mean “not fit to eat”.Food additives are used for many reasons. We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better
36、. Food producers have developed a range of additives that stabilize, thicken, harden, keep wet, keep firm, or improve the appearance of their products. Additives can make food more convenient or nutritious, give it a longer shelf life, and make it more attractive to the consumer, thus increasing the
37、 sales and profits of the producers.Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument. Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe; some substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market. Many people feel there
38、s a risk of eating food to which anything has been added. But food additives are now regulated by the FDA of the federal government, and new additives will go through strict testing before they can be placed on the market. For most people, the chances of developing serious side effects (副作用) from th

40、e following is TRUE according to the passage?A. To ensure food safety, the FDA will stop food additives.B. Food additives can improve the quality of foods in many ways.C. Foods with more additives have higher nutritional value.D. Foods free of additives can keep a much longer shelf life.34.We can in
