In fact, showering too often can actually hurt your body in the long run.As Time’s public health column explains, daily showers are common due to social norms more than any proper health need. We connect being freshly showered with being attractive and pleasing, so we tend to showering often to feel better.But what’s the ideal shower frequency? In terms of your health — not how you look or smell — probably once or twice a week, assistant professor of dermatology at George Washington University, Dr. C. Brandon Mitchell says. “Your body is naturally a well-oiled machine,” he says. “A daily shower isn’t necessary.”Of course, your situation may vary. If you have a job like car maintenance or construction, you’ll obviously have a visible layer of dirt you’ll need to wash off every single day. Similarly, if you work out every day, you may not have any health risks by washing every day, but you’ll still be smelly. If you feel like you need to take daily showers for aesthetic（审美的）reasons, at least make most of them light showers. “I tell patients who shower daily not to soap their whole bodies,” Mitchell says. Hit your pits, butt and groin, which are the areas that produce strong smells. The rest of your body doesn’t need much soaping, he says.Too much time spent under the hot water can dry out your skin, cause cracks（裂纹）that can lead to infections or germs getting into your skin, and take away the natural oils on your skin that help keep it healthy. So, even if you’re aiming to be your most presentable, be sure to keep it moderate to avoid hurting your skin in the long run.24. According to the passage, why do most people shower daily?A. To meet health need.     B. To wash off dirt.C. To add to attraction.     D. To get relaxation.25. Which of the following people might be advised to shower once or twice a week?A. Office staff        B. Car maintainer   C. Building workers      D. Gym-goers26. The underlined phrase “light showers” in Para. 4 refers to the showers in which ________.A. bright lights are equipped    B. a little soaping is involvedC. gentle skin touches are allowed   D. less hot water is used27. What is the best title for the text?A. Showering Daily Becomes a CustomB. Daily Shower Does No Good to YouC. Protect Your Skin When ShoweringD. You Probably Needn’t Shower DailyCReflection of Real Culture?Crazy Rich Asians, adapted from Singaporean­American author Kevin Kwan's 2013 novel of the same name, has become a surprisingly successful Hollywood movie and a hot topic on social media.Without doubt, the film is a rare US film with an all­Asian actors, full of Asian elements, such as characters playing mahjong or using red decorations at a wedding. It could be said that Crazy Rich Asians reflects a new trend in Hollywood for multiculturalism (多元化). Just like fans who praised Black Panther(2018) for featuring African characters, those from Asia now have role models of their own in a Hollywood movie.However, when we take a closer look at the film, we can see that it's clearly produced for a Western audience. The film is about the funny story of Chinese­American professor Rachel Chu and her rich Singaporean boyfriend Nick Young and his family. According to The Paper, although the movie throws light on Asian culture, it is still a display of American values, instead of those of Asian people. It still can't help showing the cultural traditions and lifestyle of the US. The romance story even finds its roots in Disney fairy tales. In the movie, the large houses and the fancy parties represent the lives seen in movies like The Great Gatsby (2013) and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). “There are a lot of people who don't relate to that ...of course there will be lot of fain criticism (批评) about the fact that it doesn't fully represent the entire population，” wrote Penelope Poulou of VOA News. According to Psychology Today, the film is “not an accurate (准确的) description of most Asians nor is it meant to be”. So, although Crazy Rich Asians doesn't completely break stereotypes (刻板印象) of Asian people, it's still a small step in the right direction. And while it's encouraging to see a movie about Asian people made for a Western audience, it's obvious that there's still a long way to go.28．What can we learn about Crazy Rich Asians?A．It was on show in 2013.            B．It is adapted from a TV series.C．It stars all­Asian actors.            D．It was shot in China.29．The author mentioned Black Panther mainly to ________．A．describe the popularity of multiculturalism in the USB．show Hollywood's efforts in promoting multiculturalismC．stress the differences between the two filmsD．explain its influence on Crazy Rich Asians30．Why have some people criticized Crazy Rich Asians?A．It fails to describe real Asian culture.B．It doesn't change Americans' stereotypes of Asians.C．It has copied from The Great Gatsby.D．It shows too much American elements.31．Which word best describes the author's attitude toward Crazy Rich Asians?A．Subjective.  B．Disappointed.   C．Objective.    D．Doubtful. DScientists have an unlikely new helper while exploring the Earth’s crust (地壳) deep beneath the ocean: Fin whales. New research, published Thursday in Science, finds these Fin whale calls’ sound waves can help create images of the seafloor down to 2. 5 kilometers.Seafloor imaging, which is important for studying things like earthquake mechanics and carbon storage capacity, usually uses large air guns that send waves of sound downwards. The sound waves go through the crust and bounce back to instruments on the seafloor, carrying information about the structures they travel through. But such surveys are expensive, and the guns’ explosive noise may interrupt sea creatures that use sound to communicate.Vaclav Kuna, the study co-author, was studying earthquakes when he noticed strange readings on the seafloor seismic (地震的) instruments, which turned out to match the frequencies of fin whale calls. Whale songs often appear in such instruments’ records, says Emily Roland, a marine seismologist at the University of Washington. Seismologists usually see these signals as annoyance. Kuna, however, noticed that the signals were not coming directly from the whales, but were echoes bouncing back from within the crust.This technique does have limitations, Kuna says. Fin whale songs are limited in frequency, meaning the subsurface images are not as clear as those made with air guns. Additionally, a relatively flat seafloor is needed to triangulate (作三角测量) the whales’ positions while multiple stations would be needed in uneven or mountainous regions, he says.Nevertheless, these whales are found almost everywhere except the ice-covered areas of the Arctic. The whale calls’ wide existence means they could provide new insight into old seismic datasets, Roland says. “At least the whale songs can serve as an additional source of signals. They are free and they are always there,” Kuna says. “It’s a win-win.”32. What do we know about seafloor imaging in Paragraph 2?A. It may affect some sea animals. B. It can help predict earthquakes.C. It is not completely accurate. D. It is environmentally-friendly.33. What can we infer about fin whale calls?A. They can help scientists to locate their habitats.B. They are easy to record and measure in the ocean.C. They are likely to be used for seafloor imaging.D. They have different frequencies among fin whales.34. What is the potential use of fin whale songs?A. Exchanging messages between whales.B. Working as an extra source of signals.C. Providing useful insights into whales.D. Exploring the ice-covered areas of the Arctic.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Fin Whale Calls Reveal Structure beneath Ocean FloorB. Fin Whales Communicate by Singing Special SongsC. Fin Whale Protection Is a Win-win Move for AllD.
