21、Located in the southeast of Canada and with a population of approximately 6 million, Toronto is a big and beautiful city, which has developed from a relatively unknown place over the past half century to the center of culture, trade and communication in Canada.

With its colorful ethnic mix, rich history and breathtaking buildings. Toronto offers non-stop adventures to the tourists. To get a sense of how big, various and magical Toronto is, the best place to start is the CN Tower. From this point, visitors can get a bird's-eye view of the city's amazing scenery and unique geography.

In addition to being an important center of culture, trade and communication in Canada, Toronto is also a major muti-ethnic city. It is the most populous city in Canada and its citizens come from countries around the world and from different kinds of ethnic backgrounds. Every day, in most places of the city, a hundred different languages can be heard on the streets, from Hindi to Greek to French. This, perhaps, explains why former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau once said that Canada is a mosaic（嵌合体）of cultures and languages rather than a melting pot.

Street signs in Toronto are mostly in English. Weekly and daily newspapers are published in various languages, and the city hosts the successful international film festival each September. It is also home to a popular baseball team the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto has something for everyone.

22、   There's no such thing as showering too much, right? Wrong. Despite the practice that many people shower once or twice a day, we're only meant to shower once or twice a week. As experts say, human daily showering is mainly for the love for beauty.

Speaking to TIME, Dr. Elaine Larson, an expert from Columbia University School of Nursing argues, People think they're showering to keep clean, but that's not the case. Bathing will remove smells if you have unpleasant smell on your body or you are back from the gym. But in terms of protecting you from illness, washing your hands regularly is probably adequate." Larson's research turns out, antibacterial soaps and cleaning products are not any better than a regular bar of soap when it comes to lowering your risk of getting diseases, so the fancy soaps you bought are probably a waste of money.

The more you bathe, the thinner and less hydrated your skin becomes. Dry skin opens up gaps for infection and causes bacteria to slip through. Washing can also clear away your skin of its natural oils and may destroy the bacteria that support the immune system on your skin, according to Dr. C. Brandon Mitchell, assistant professor of dermatology at the George Washington University. Both Mitchell and Larson recommend that you shouldn't use antibacterial soaps that are particularly bad for removing essential oils. Mitchell adds," Your body is naturally a well oiled machine. A daily shower isn't necessary. The rest of your body doesn't need much soaping."

So, in terms of your health, you should probably only shower once or twice a week, in terms of how you look and smell, it might be a different story. A recent study shows that smelling bad is the biggest relationship deal-breaker.

【1】What's the main reason why people bathe frequently according to experts?

A.For a relaxed feeling. B.For a good appearance.

C.To keep in good health. D.To attract others' attention.

【2】What is Dr. Elaine Larson's attitude towards antibacterial soaps?

A.Doubtful. B.Supportive. C.Negative. D.Uncaring.

【3】What can we infer from the third paragraph?

A.Wet skin is easier to be infected B.Too much bathing is harmful to our skin.

C.Many people have a wrong way of bathing. D.Washing without soaps can cause diseases.

【4】The purpose of the passage is to __________.

A.introduce some ways of bathing B.prove the disadvantages of bathing

C.give us advice on how to choose a soap D.tell us how often we should take a bath

24、Everybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?

As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life.

Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.

According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.

The ant—works first

Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.

The cricket—fun first

The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.

The snail—lives under pressure

The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure whether they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.

【1】People with the character of the snail would like to __________.

A. enjoy life at the moment without thinking much about the future

B. put work before everything else

C. live a luxury life at all costs

D. take the risk of investing a large sum of money
