But after harvesting his own corn, Grandpa’s little machine broke. At the same time, the factory where Grandpa worked began to require overtime. He had to leave the farm early in the morning and didn’t get home until after sunset. It now seemed impossible to help out his neighbor. One night, Grandpa decided that he wouldn’t let his neighbor’s harvest rot (腐烂) in the field. Without a machine, he’d harvest it by hand. “When do you think you’d have time to do it?” asked my grandma, “Besides, it’d be too dark.” “I know of one night that I could do it!” he said, “There’s still one more full moon in October. If the weather is clear, I think I can do it.” And so a few days later, after lots of busy work at the factory, my grandpa made his way to the field. The weather was cold but clear, and the moon was glowing (发光). He worked through the night to keep his word. Sometimes, when I want to put off responsibilities (责任), I’d see my grandfather cutting corn in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him, row after row of corn stalks (秸秆) stand at attention in respect for the man who keeps his word. （ ）4. .

C Almost everyone has dropped some food on the floor and still wanted to eat it. If someone saw you drop it, he or she might have shouted, “5-second rule!” This so-called rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less. But is that true? Professor Anthony Hilton from Ashton University, UK, tested the rule with his students. They found that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria than if it sits there for longer. For the study, Hilton and his students tested a lot of foods – bread, pasta, cookies and candy – to see how much bacteria they had when they made contact with the floor. They allowed the food to lie on various types of flooring – carpet, laminate (复合地板), and tile (瓷砖) – for three seconds to 30 seconds. Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had. And the type of floor where the dropped food landed had an effect. Bacteria are least likely to transfer from carpet, while they’re most likely to transfer from la
