washrooms with high-speed electrichand dryers because paper towels do a better job of containing germs when people do notwash their hands properly,researchers say.A study found that the dryers left morecontamination（污染）on poorly washed hands when compared with old-fashioned papertowels.They also caused virus particles to be blown on to clothing and people who used themleft a trail of microbes（微生物）when they touched surfaces.The findings are relevant,the authors of the study said,because even healthcare workersoften take shortcuts when washing their hands.A previous survey found that only 40 percentstuck to recommended hand-washing practices.The study involved an experiment wherevolunteers dipped their hands in a liquid containing a harmless virus and dried them usingeither an air dryer or paper towels.The participants also wore aprons to measure howcontamination had spread to their clothing.They were then asked to walk through a hospitalwhile touching surfaces such as lift buttons.Samples were collected from surfaces thatvolunteers had touched and from the aprons.On average,the levels of contamination to surfaces volunteers touched were ten timeshigher after hands were dried with an air dryer than with paper towels.Researchers also sawgreater transfer of microbes to the apron when volunteers used the air dryer.uThe study wasperformed in a healthcare setting and has important lessons for health institutions that stillhave high-speed air dryers,but the results are also relevant for public restrooms,9,Dr InesMoura,a research fellow at the University of Leeds

powerful positive effects on others.They arefree,but theyre worth so much to the receiving person.16 Your members didntfollow you because of salaries but for more altruistic（利他的）reasons.Therefore,it isimportant that you give them the praise that is due fbr their efforts.17 Dont say,“You look good today.when you could have said,“You lookamazing today!Dont say,Thanks for your effort.,Instead say,Tm so thankful for yourbeing on this project,we couldnt have finished it without you!,Of course,with what I have mentioned above,be sure its coming from your heart.18 Dont praise if you dont have a hint of appreciation fbr the person.Trust me,itwill show in your eyes and the other party will feel upset.Insincere praise is flattery（恭维）;you attempt to gain something from saying good things about the other person.Besides,praising in public is rather important.19 When you praise a partner inpublic,you lift him up and his conduct for everyone in the room to see.Look foropportunities where you can publicly celebrate the hard work of certain people and makethem feel they are great.I believe that as you begin using these communication tips and praising people aroundyou,youll see a change in the atmosphere of your work environment.20 Eventually,youll find yourself with a more effective team!A.So you need to be sincere in praise.B.This is more so in voluntary organizations.C.People will become
