Most people feel that you should shower as often as possible because this will make sure that you are clean. What’s more, showering can be comfortable, as it will wash away your troubles and cares. It is important to shower often to keep good personal hygiene（卫生）, but in fact showering too much can do harm to your skin’s（皮肤的）health. It is necessary to find a good balance that will keep your skin clean but will allow it to stay healthy.
Bathing regularly（有规律地）is very important for several reasons. It can help prevent disease and will also improve good hygiene. The important thing to keep in mind, however, is that how often you should take a bath depends on many different factors（因素）.
Scientists agree that most people should not shower too often and in fact, if they cut down the showering times, it can be an unbelievably healthy decision for their skin. The exceptions to this rule are people who take the underground, or work in some other crowded spaces, go to the fitness centre daily or those who are in touch with sick people（such as those coughing, sneezing or sniffling during the flu season）.
Usually, you only need to shower twice out of each three days and some people can do so just every other day. When you don’t shower daily, your skin is better able to keep its balance. The important thing is to remember to use a wash cloth in areas that need daily attention for hygienic. If you feel the need to wash your hair every day, there is no problem with this.
You should shower more often depending on a few factors such as whether you use public places that are filled with bacteria（细菌）（like the underground or buses）and whether you exercise regularly.
44. What does the underlined word “crowded” in paragraph 3 mean
A.私密的. B.拥挤的. C.封闭的. D.空旷的.
45. Which of them should shower more often according to the writer
A. One who works alone in an office. B. Those who exercise once a week.
C. One who works in a public place. D. Those Taobao sellers in their homes.
46. What does the writer mainly want to say
A. Why we should take a bath. B. What we should do when taking a bath.
C. How we can take a bath comfortably. D. How often we should take a bath.
C
“I want to walk the Kokoda Track before I can’t do it,” my friend Beno explained to me on the telephone one night. He was one of Australia’s best pilots, fighting with Parkinson’s disease for the past five years. For Beno, it meant showing himself and the world that Parkinson’s disease would not stop him enjoying an active life and facing physical（身体的）challenges.
In the end, Beno made eight friends join him, including me. We were led by our Australian guide, Cameron James, who used to be a soldier in an army and had walked the track ten times before.
At the start of the journey, Cameron handed out small cards, on each of which was the photo and details of a soldier who had died, all heroes of the Kokoda Track. Three days passed quickly. It seemed that we went through all the battles（战役）which had taken place along the track.
On the fourth day, we climbed to the top of Brigade Hill. We could see many wooden stakes with a red ribbon（缎带）, which was used to remember the soldiers who had died here. We were broken physically, but pushed mentally（精神上）to a place we had not been before. Poems were read, heroes remembered.
On the fifth day, we woke to rain, and it rained all day. It was impossible to get dry, and we all wanted to give up. But our discomfort became unimportant as we thought of our passing away heroes in the terrible conditions they faced. As we walked to the end of the trail, there were hugs（拥抱）all around.
It’s often said walking the Kokoda Track is life changing. I’m not sure if it changed my life—time will tell, but it changed my attitude（态度）to life. It was a highlight of my life. Looking into Beno’s eyes, I could see the sense of achievement he felt. He had conquered（征服）what, for many healthy people, is an unbelievable challenge.
47. What can best describe walking the Kokoda
A. It attracted altogether eight people and a guide.
B. It can lead every walker to change his life.
C. It means enjoying an active life during the challenge.
D. It required much knowledge about Parkinson’s disease.
48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Beno and Cameron served the army in the same place.
B. Beno had the richest experience in walking the track.
C. Beno never doubted that he could finish walking the track.
D. The challenging experience has changed the writer’s attitude.
49. What can we infer（推断）from the passage
A. We didn’t meet any discomfort during the walking.
B. We were tired but cheerful at the top of Brigade Hill.
C. Beno’s condition became better after the walking.
D. Beno did what a lot of healthy people can’t do.
50. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Walk through Kokoda B. Fight against the Disease.
C. Experience a Lucky Walk D. Change the Life
