Online bookstores offer new books and used books that can save you lots of money. They are far better compared to traditional bookstores as they offer much more kinds of books. Another advantage of shopping online is that you can also read the book reviews as well as readers’ reviews to get an idea whether the book is worth buying. Online bookstores offer great discounts (折扣) to regular customers, which is a big attraction for book lovers.‎ For book lovers, the most important thing is to get books on time.

Other people collect works of art or musical instruments. But a man in the American state of Maryland collects secrets.‎ For the past 10 years, people have been sending Frank Warren postcards and other objects with secrets written on them. He now has a million secrets. “It’s a drawing of a lift. And the secret says, ‘I feel guilty (感到内疚的) when I take lifts for one floor, so I limp (跛行) when I get ‎ out.’” Frank said. ‎ About ten years ago, Mr. Warren created an art project called PostSecret. People then began to send him postcards, other objects and emails telling their secrets. Every Sunday, he chooses 10 secrets and puts them on the website. ‎ Mr. Warren says he created PostSecret so people could share their secrets in a safe place. “I was struggling with secrets in my own life. And it was by creating this safe place where others could share their secrets with me, I think that space was something I needed just as much as they did.”‎ He has published six books full of the secrets people have shared with him. One secret in each book is his. Eric Perry delivers mail for the U.S. Postal Service. He has brought thousands of secrets to Frank’s home over the past three years. “I have a couple of the books that Frank’s given me and I’ve read them all and my family has read them all and it’s wild!” ‎ The project itself was once one of Frank’s secrets. His wife Jan didn’t know exactly what he was doing until the first book was published. The publisher told him that the address was going to be on the book, and he refused.

Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth.‎ The PPPHW says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. Soap also helps lo break up the dirt that holds most of the germs. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell, which increases the chances that people will wash again.‎ It also says that washing hands with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾), which is the second biggest cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year.‎ ‎29．What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?‎ A．To keep healthy by washing hands.
