【題目】 Two in three Americans shower once a day or more, according to a YouGov poll. Here’s why you might be better off showering less frequently (and here are other ways you might be showering wrong
①Daily showers are best for people with physically demanding jobs, those who live in hot, damp climates. But if you don’t sweat that often, you could probably go two to three days without stepping into the shower, skin doctor Monika G. Kiripolsky, MD, told Men's Health. Use these quick morning hacks to freshen up without showering.
② Drying off with a towel can further make your delicate birthday suit become worse. It’s best to air dry, according to HowStuffWorks.com, but if that takes too long or you don’t like leaving wet foot prints all over the house, use a soft towel and gently pat your skin dry instead of vigorously rubbing it. Check out these other mistakes everyone makes in the shower.
③ If the thought of showering every other day or a few times a week makes your skin crawl, consider a mini cleaning. Rub your chest, armpits, and outer sex organs with a washcloth and a mild cleaner, Men's Health advises.
④ Right now, your skin is teeming with good bacteria, but showering launches these microbes into the air. They’ll repopulate, but there’s no good reason to get rid of them on a daily basis, according to this blog post on PLOS.org. Find out what the healthiest temperature for your shower is.
⑤ Showers are typically the third largest water consumer in the average home (after toilets and clothes washers). The average American shower uses 17.2 gallons and lasts for 8.2 minutes at average flow rate of 2.1 gallons per minute, according to Home Water Works, part of the Alliance for Water Efficiency. Cut back to three or four showers a week from seven (per person in your home!) and that could make a decent cut in your water bill. To make those four showers count, learn what science says is the best time of day to shower.

【題目】Wilderness
“In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world.” This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.
As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(開發(fā)) brings to such landscapes(景觀) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr.Sauven, these ”ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.
Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.
I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.
This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.
【1】John Sauven holds that_____.
A. many people value nature too much
B. exploitation of wildernesses is harmful
C. wildernesses provide humans with necessities
D. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong
【2】What is the main idea of Para. 3?
A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.
B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.
C. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.
D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?
A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Sceptical. D. Optimistic.
【4】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要點) : Conclusion
A. B. C. D.
