26、   Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.

In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.

Though the belief in the advantage of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?

Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.

【1】The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .

A.they lived healthily in a dirty environment.

B.they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in

C.they believed disease could be spread in public baths

D.they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease

【2】Which of the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?

A.disapproving B.Curious. C.Approving. D.Uninterested.

【3】How does the passage mainly develop?

A.By providing examples. B.By making comparisons.

C.By following the order of time. D.By following the order of importance.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A.To stress the role of dirt. B.To introduce the history of dirt.

C.To call attention to the danger of dirt. D.To present the change of views on dirt.

27、   Have you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight? How disappointing!【1】.

Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the extra energy from food as fat. 【2】Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off” the extra food without making fat, so they seldom have weight problems.

To prove this, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat. Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic factors. 【3】 These genes get passed down the generations. Armed with this knowledge, they believe it may be possible to develop medicines that can aim at the genes and stop people from gaining weight.

The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the number of people who are overweight continues to grow. In the United States, over seventy percent of the population have weight problems.【4】 .

【5】 That’s because they can have serious side effects, such as heart problems. However, it takes a long time to develop and completely test new drugs. Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise.

A.Current medicines for weight control do not work very well.

B.They found that weight gaining had nothing to do with genes.

C.These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day.

D.They also believe they have now found the genes that may cause this tendency.

E.And they never mind what they look like and continue to eat as they would like to.

F.This means they are at risk of illnesses such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

G.However, scientists are beginning to believe some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.

28、   It’s the weekend, and you’re not at work. So what are you doing? 【1】 If you re in the UK, you might be hiding from the rain in your local shopping centre. Where you live and the culture you live in affect what you choose to do with any leisure（空闲）time you have.

However, as well as these cultural influences on the concept of leisure, there are many aspects that affect the actual leisure activities that people take part in. 【2】 People who live in places with cold or wet weather might be more likely to spend their free time indoors, for example. According to one study, people in France spend twice as much time eating and drinking, at home and in restaurants, as people in Mexico. 【3】 Many populations have limited electricity supplies in these countries, compared to North America, Where TV and the Internet are among the top leisure interests.

【4】 Visiting historic sites is popular in Europe, but not so much among the young as the older generations. Perhaps now more than ever, the real division in cultures from all around the world is that of age. 【5】 For example, they like playing games, chatting watching videos. What their cultural background is already doesn’t really matter. Take a look around you — can you predict what your friends and family are up to this weekend just by their age? I have a feeling you can!

A.Activities with such strong cultural influences will be welcome.

B.If you’re in Switzerland you might be hiking through the countryside.

C.There are different meanings for the idea of leisure in different cultures.

D.Things like climate and basic systems come into play in different cultures.

E.Age and social background also influence the activities people choose to do.

F.The generation that has grown up with the Internet likes spending free time online.

G.Other studies show live music and dancing events are more popular in African countries.
