In summer, the high heat always makes you feel uncomfortable. 【小题1】 Actually, to stay cool and comfortable, you can try lots of natural ways, including water, fans, cool drinks, and more. Here let’s see how to use water to cool down.

Freeze a handkerchief (手帕) and put it on your neck, forehead, arms or legs. 【小题3】 When the handkerchief heats up, simply wet it and put it back in the fridge. You can also put an ice pack behind your head.

Fill your bathtub (浴缸) with cool water and get in. Once you are used to the temperature, let some water out and refill it with cold water. Keep doing this until you feel cool enough. 【小题5】

Proper(正确的) hand washing is a good way of preventing the spread of disease, as it removes the dirt and germs (细菌) that can be spread to others and helps to keep the environment around you clean. Having clean hands is important because people often use their hands to touch their eyes, noses and mouths. Touching these areas gives germs access to the inside of the body where they can cause illness. You should always wash your hands before and after eating, after using the toilet, after blowing your nose, sneezing or coughing, after touching animals... Washing your hands is a simple process that gives great health benefits (好处). There are four simple steps you can take to wash your hands. These are:

●   Wet your hands with clean, running water. Make sure the water isn’t too hot or too cold.

●   Rub soap and lather up for about 20 seconds.

●   Make sure you get in between your fingers, on the backs of hands, and under the fingernails where germs like to hang out. And don’t forget the wrists (手腕)!

●   Wash your hands under running water to remove the soap, dirt and germs.

Drying your hands is also a step that should not be ignored(忽视) in the cleaning process. Don’t put your hands on your clothes to dry them. Both drying your hands with a paper towel and using a hand dryer without rubbing your hands together are effective at keeping germs away. Rubbing your hands together while drying them under a dryer cancels out the benefits of hand washing by bringing germs within the skin to the surface.
