Getting rid of dirt,in the opinion of most people,is a good thing. 1       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. 2       Since then,even the rich in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. 3       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.

4       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 H. 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?

5       Many firsttime parents nervously try to warn their children not to touch 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.

   A. So did the king of England in 1546.

   B. The rich and noble man lived an elegant life.

   C. Though the belief in the merit of dirt was longlived,dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century.

   D. However,there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.

   E. So how to get rid of dirt has been under heated discussion.

   F. Henry IV,King of France,was famously dirty.

   G. Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.

Rota is a very small town in Spain. It is famous for its fruits and vegetables. In particular,it is famous for its tomatoes and pumpkins.

One would think that the soil of this region must be very good. It must be very rich in

order to grow 1        excellent tomatoes and pumpkins. 2       the soil is not good. It is poor. It is only sand and rock―nothing 3       (many) . The winds of the ocean blow hard. They have carried 4        the good soil. They have left only sand in its place. There is also little water. The soil is dry and hard.

The farmers of this region have to work very hard. They work from morning till night. They dig wells 5       (where) there is water. They carry water 6        hand to their gardens. They use anything and everything to make the soil a little 7 (rich) around each plant. They cover the young plants with leaves. In this way they protect them from the sun and wind. They watch each plant 8       (care) . They watch the plants 9        are not strong. They give these plants more water and more attention. They show the plants the same 10       (affect) they show for their wives or children.

There is a proverb about Rota farmers;The farmer of Rota touches each tomato plant at least forty times a day.

If you're feeling disheartened,what strategies can make you feel better? It's pretty clear that repeating "I'm the greatest!" is not a good way to build healthy selfesteem. 1       When you're feeling lousy (讨厌的) about yourself,what can you do to feel better?

Here's the secret. To build your selfrespect,do something worthy of your respect. To like yourself better,do something that makes you likable. Here are some strategies to try:

1. Do a good deed. This is as selfish as it is selfless. 2       I had a friend who went through a period of tremendous rejection:She was fired from her job;she did not get into the graduate program to which she'd applied;her boyfriend broke up with her. Everything worked out fine in the end,and I asked her how she got through such a tough time. She said, "I was practically addicted to doing good deeds for other people. It was the only way I could make myself feel like I wasn't a total loser."

2. 3       Bring your old magazines to the gym so other people can read them. Offer directions to someone who looks lost. Sign up to be an organ donor. My current favorite: picking up trash that other people have left on the subway.

3. Become an expert. There's great satisfaction in mastery. Pick a subject that interests you,and dig in deep: the American Revolution,Photoshop,knife techniques. 4       But if you push through,you'll give yourself a huge boost. Be sure to pick something that honestly attracts you. Become an expert on The Sopranos,if that sounds interesting,but don't decide to learn about wine just because you think other people will be impressed. You're much less likely to stick with it,so you won't benefit as much.

4. Maintain your energy. Studies show that when you're feeling energetic,you're much more likely to feel good about yourself. Most important:get enough sleep.5      

   A. Strike a balance between work and play.

   B. Make small gestures of good citizenship.

   C. You'll benefit as much as the person you're helping.

   D. At the same time,it's a rare person who is not sometimes troubled with painful selfdoubt.

   E. If you need an emergency energy fix,take a quick tenminute walk,or listen to some great music.

   F. This can be hard,because learning something new can also make you feel frustrated and stupid.

   G. This strategy does not work for me,but I know that many people feel great after being encouraged by their friends.
