Your friends come to visit you at your home. Should you ask them to take off their shoes? In many countries around the world, taking off your shoes indoors is a polite (礼貌的) thing to do. However, it's more than just polite. It's good hygiene (卫生), too.

Bacteria (细菌) like to grow on shoes. Some of them can be dangerous, according to scientists from the University of Houston in the US. One of the most common kinds of bacteria on your shoes is Escherichia coli (大肠杆菌).

Researchers found this kind of bacteria on 96 percent of the shoes they studied. Some kinds of Escherichia coli can lead to diarrhea (腹泻) or even brain (大脑) illnesses. Other kinds of them on shoes can be harmful (有害的) to our skin, blood and heart.

But we don't need to worry about this too much. For healthy people, the bacteria on shoes will have little or no danger, according to Live Science. If healthy people get thousands of harmful bacteria on their hands, they will become sick.

Also, bacteria stay on the ground most of the time. But most of us don't spend a lot of time on the ground. "In this situation,you're not going to get sick from it," according to Jonathan Sexton from the University of Arizona, US. However, children who often climb around on the floor and people in bad health should be careful about the bacteria. For healthy adults, it is not a big deal.

31. According to the passage, Escherichia coli is ________.

A. dangerous but necessary

B. common but harmful

C. special but useful

32. Escherichia coli can lead to some problems in our body except (除了) _________.

A. brain

B. legs

C. heart

33. Why needn't we worry too much about the bacteria on shoes?

A.Because the bacteria on shoes is not dangerous at all.

B.Because the bacteria can't make healthy people get sick.

C.Because bacteria mostly stay on the ground, but most of people don't.

34. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?

A. The Escherichia coli only grow on shoes.

B. Taking off the shoes in the US is thought to be impolite.

C. The unhealthy people are easier to get sick because of Escherichia coli.

35. In which part of newspapers can you read the passage?

A. Health.

B. Sports.

C. Shopping.

Jiang Mengnan, a girl from Chenzhou, Hunan, won the Touching China Person of the Year Award for 2021.

Jiang Mengnan was born in 1992 in Mangshan, Chenzhou. When she was six months old, her parents found she was unable to speak. Three months later, the doctors told Jiang Mengnan's parents that she lost hearing in two ears and they couldn't help her at all.

Since then, Jiang Mengnan's world has been silent. Her parents, who are both teachers, didn't want their lovely daughter to be a deafmute (聋哑人) all her life. In order to make the girl speak, they tried all possible ways. At last, Mengnan learned vocalization (发声) and lipreading (唇语). In this way, she could understand others and even learned to talk with others, though it was hard.

With her hard work, Jiang Mengnan finished her primary and secondary education. In 2011, she got into Jilin University and in 2018 she became a Doctor of School of Life Sciences, Tsinghua University. Her teacher said: “She is so strong-willed and hard-working that she has changed her life.”

Jiang Mengnan can't be a doctor because of her hearing loss, but she wants to help people with illness, so she chose medicine as her major (专业). Though she is disabled (残疾的), she has done what common people can't do. Her story makes us believe the saying. “Where there is a will, there is a way.”
