山东德州2013届高考英语二轮复习阅读理解精练精析11
They are pretty essential, but you may want to drop your mobile phone forever after reading this. The average handset carries 18 times more potentially harmful germs than a toilet handle in a men’s toilet, tests have revealed.
An analysis of handsets found almost a quarter were so dirty that they had up to ten times an acceptable level of TVC (Total Viable Count) bacteria. One of the phones in the test had such high levels of bacteria that it could have given its owner a serious stomach upset. While TVC is not immediately harmful, raised levels indicate poor personal hygiene (卫生) and act as home for other germs.
The findings from a sample of 30 phones by which？ magazine suggest 14. 7 million of the 63 million mobiles in use in the UK today could have potential health risks. Hygiene expert Jim Francis, who carried out the tests, said, “The levels of potentially harmful bacteria on one mobile were off the range. That phone needs cleaning. ”
The most unhygienic phone had more than ten times the acceptable level of TVC and seven were above the limit. This worst handset also had 39 times the safe level of enterobacteria(肠道菌), a group of bacteria that live in the lower intestines (肠) of humans and animals. It had 170 times the acceptable level of faecal coliforms (大肠杆菌)，which are associated with human waste. Other bacteria were found on the phones but at safe levels.
The germs can end up on your hands and are passed back to your phone. They can be passed back and forth and eventually you could catch something grubby. People need to be mindful of that by observing good hygiene themselves and among others who they pass the phone to when looking at photos, for example.
