If you’re showering every day, you’re probably over doing it. 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 rules 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 skin medicine 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. Apart from the areas that produce strong smells, your body doesn’t need much soaping, he says.
Too much time spent under the hot water can dry out your skin and take away the natural oils on your skin that help keep it healthy. So, even if you’re aiming to look fairly tidy and attractive, be sure to keep it reasonable to avoid hurting your skin in the long run.
24. According to the passage, why do most people shower daily
A. To add to attraction. B. To wash off dirt.
C. To meet health need. D. To get relaxation.
25. Which of the following people might be advised to shower once or twice a week
A. Car mechanic. B. Office staff.
C. Building workers. D. Gym-goers.
26. The underlined phrase “light showers” in Para. 4 refers to the showers in which ________.
A. bright lights are equipped B. less hot water is used
C. gentle skin touches are allowed D. a little soaping is involved
27. What is the best title for the text
A. Showering Daily Becomes a Custom B. Daily Shower Does No Good to You
C. You Probably Needn’t Shower Daily D. Protect Your Skin When Showering

Tell a joke. Give a speech. Sing a rock song. You can do all these things at Planet Word, a museum of language in downtown Washington. The dream and effort of former teacher Ann Friedman, Planet Word fills three floors of the historic Franklin School with play areas that invite visitors to think about the origins and development of English and explore qualities of other languages. Through its galleries, visitors can use their sounds to interact and connect with exhibits. Such a museum has never been seen before anywhere else.
Friedman had the idea of Planet Word after a visit to the National Museum of Mathematics, which makes math fun by high-tech, hands-on activities. “I think a museum like that could work for one more important thing,” said Friedman. “In the time of misinformation and texting, a literate (有文化的) society is way too important. We need a higher level of ability to read and write, and literate people who have a wide vocabulary, understanding of motivation and ability to read people.” That inspired her to make Planet Word a reality.
At the core of the museum, the magical library exhibition is filled with books that come alive with videos. But Planet Word is not just about showing language in its spoken and written form. Public speaking is accessible in Lend Me Your Ears where people can test their own speaking skills in a recording area. The Karaoke room invites visitors to sing songs. On a more serious note, the Words Matter gallery presents lengthy videos of people telling personal stories.
“Planet Word is centered on ideas but not collections, putting visitors in control of every experience,” explained Jake Barton from Local Projects, which designed Planet Word. In one exhibit, visitors can “paint” with words using a digital paintbrush, turning learning new words into beautiful experiences. To take the word “autumnal” as an example, the entire scene changes from spring to fall. “It’s a place where children cry when their parents try to make them leave. It makes people wish this were how they had learned in school.”
28. What can be learned about Planet Word from Paragraph 1
A. It is of historical importance.
B. It was designed by Franklin School.
C. It focuses mainly on the English language.
D. It’s the world’s first voice-enabled museum.
29. Why did Friedman build Planet Word
A. To solve problems in the digital age.
B. To show fun ways to learn languages.
C. To encourage a deeper level of literacy.
D. To record languages from all over the world.
30. What is stressed about the museum in Paragraph 3
A. Its various functions. B. Its special structures.
C. Its high-tech devices. D. Its serious exhibits.
31. What do Barton’s words imply
A. Experiences help to promote growth.
B. Kids are attracted by Planet Word deeply.
C. Traditional museums have no place nowadays.
D. Parents should be encouraged to make more donations.
D
I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film — it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft (技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive (有闯劲的), and making fun of each other. Those were also at the core of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back — he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.
32. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first
A. Paul Newman wanted it. B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.
C. He wasn’t famous enough. D. The director recommended someone else.
33. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship
A. They were of the same age. B. They worked in the same theater.
C. They were both good actors. D. They have similar characteristics.
34. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Their belief. B. Their care for children.
C. Their success. D. Their support for each other.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To show his love of films. B. To remember a friend.
C. To introduce a new movie. D. To share acting experience.

A friendship doesn’t begin with the hope that it will end. We devote time and energy, not believing that our efforts could finally be fruitless. 36 When things said or done cause a breakdown in trust or closeness, you can reconnect with a friend you’ve grown apart from by starting a conversation.
37 So take time to reflect on what exactly happened between you and your friend. When knowing what went wrong in the relationship, you are often better equipped with an understanding of what you could say to make things right again.
If you and your friend need to have a serious heart-to-heart conversation, it’s a good idea to select the right time and place to talk. Choose a time when you both have some open availability. Don’t try to jam in a heavy conversation in a half-hour lunch break on a workday. 38 A public place is generally not the best place to have a serious and emotional conversation with a friend.
There may be moments in the conversation when you feel yourself tense up, want to shut down or explode in anger. 39 Otherwise, they can become roadblocks that make it impossible to have a productive conversation. When feeling like interrupting or talking over your friend, take a deep breath and keep calm.
Friendships take time to rebuild especially if trust has been broken. Don’t expect things to go right back to normal once you and your friend talk through things. 40
A. Also, find a setting that’s private.
B. However, friendships aren’t always forever.
C. You can’t fix a problem you don’t make out.
D. Whatever the reason, don’t hesitate to take action.
E. Try to notice these desires without acting on them.
F. Instead, go slowly and gradually reestablish closeness.
G. You both have a say on how to strengthen bonds with the other.
