The study suggests that office equipment should be regularly cleaned. “Desks are in fact germs39。 cafeterias(自助餐廳),” said Charles Garbage, a biologist who took part in the study. “They are breakfast bars, lunch tables and everything else.” The desks at your school are probably not different. The scientists found that telephones in workplaces have almost 4,000 germs/cm2, keyboards 500 and puter mice around 250. The office as a whole contains 4, 750germs/cm2. When some people catch a cold or flu, they leave germs on the surfaces(表面) they touch during the day. Some flu germs can live on the surface for up to 72 hours, so the germs can easily move to other people. If you39。re ever wondered why everyone catches the germs when only one student has a cold, now you know the answer.

Britain? Which country is better to study in?39。 We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world. It39。s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
