It began about seven years ago as a tiny business with a few friends and family in a single car garage in Florida, where they recycled used soap into fresh bars. The anization, now called Clean the World, has grown to include cities where hotels are plentiful and used bars of soap can be gathered easily. As a frequent traveler while working for a tech pany, Seipler had a sudden thought one night at a hotel. “I picked up the phone and called the front desk and asked them what happened to the bar of soap when I was done using it,” he recalled. Learning that they would go to the dustbin, he began his task to help save lives with soap and even halfused bottles of shampoo. It’s a huge problem. One of the most mon kinds of illnesses in the world are those that are passed from person to person and to oneself because of dirty things that are on one’s hands. In the . and other developed nations, hygiene (衛(wèi)生 ) products are everywhere. Not so in some other countries, where Seipler recalled visiting a hospital once in the Middle East to find that soap was in such short supply that patients had to provide their own. “It’s such an important part of the interruption of infectious germs that could save so many lives,” he said. Clean the World now collects used soap from more than 4,000 hotels and has delivered 25 million bars to 99 countries. The process is fairly simple with the collected soap being cut into pieces and then run through machines that remove any remaining bacteria before being pressed into new bars of soap and packaged for delivery. 21.

B Some years ago, a 28yearold Californian wife and mother of three children died from drinking too much water. Her body was found in her home shortly after she took part in a waterdrinking contest that was held by a local radio show. Called “Hold Your Wee For A Will”, the contest anizers promised a free Will video game machine to those who drank the most water without going to the bathroom. The woman who died drank about 2 gallons of water during the contest. When she and other participants plained of disfort and showed signs of pains, they were laughed at by the anizers. This tragic news story shows the importance of understanding why drinking too much water can be dangerous to your health. Consuming more water than you need can increase your total blood volume (容量 ) . And since your blood volume exists within a closed system, increasing your blood volume puts unnecessary stress on your heart and blood vessels (血管 ) . Your kidneys (腎 ) must work overtime to get rid of extra water out of your system. Your kidneys are not a pair of pipes. Flushing more water through your kidneys doesn’ t necessarily help it bee cleaner. Rather, your kidneys can get damaged by unnecessary wear and tear over time. And drowning your system with large amounts of water is one of many potential causes of kidney damage. Putting unnecessary stress on your system and your kidneys by consuming unnecessary water is an unnoticeable process. For the average person, it is usually impossible to know that this stress exists, as there are usually no obvious symptoms on a momenttomoment basis. But make no mistake about it: this stress is real and can hurt your health over the long term. 24. Why is the Californian woman mentioned? A. To tell us how much water we can drink at most one time.
