In order to show that showering isn’t a big deal, an American hasn’t taken a shower for 12 years. Instead, he sprays (喷洒) himself with something special that is said to have kept him clean over the years.

Dave Whitlock, a chemical engineer, thinks no fact can show that bathing is a healthy practice. “I haven’t taken a shower for 12 years, ” he says. “In fact, the chemical (化学物) in our soap have killed all the friendly bacteria (细菌) that live on our skin when we use it. ”

For a long time, many people haven’t realized skin bacteria are important and helpful to the body. Although Whitlock isn’t a biologist (生物学家), he has tried his best to invent a kind of spray called “Mother Dirt” with friendly bacteria. According to Whitlock, the bacteria in the spray can take in something dirty on our skin and produce a kind of chemical which is good for our body.

Now the spray is being produced in a company which Whitlock has helped to set up. The spray has no smell and feels just like water. It can be sprayed all over the skin twice a day to avoid showering. And for those who really enjoy showering, the company is planning to develop a kind of special shower gel (沐浴露) with friendly bacteria.

【题目】

The Silk Road is the name of different roads that connected Europe, Africa and Asia long ago. It was named by F. von Richthofen, who was a famous German geographer. Scientists believe people began to travel the Silk Road about 3,000 years ago. People reached these different places along these roads. By the time the Chinese silk trade became important in the world, the Silk Road covered almost 7,000 kilometers. It went from Rome to China, which is from the West to the Far East.

Businessmen travelled along the Silk Road to carry silk, of course. They also carried and traded other things like spices（香料）, cloth, jewels and gold.

Along and around these ancient paths（小路）, have come many fascinating and mysterious stories.

It is said that Roman soldiers who lost a war travelled through central Asia. They decided to live somewhere near the ancient Chinese villages. Some of these Romans married local Chinese women and the stories of the blondhaired, blueeyed tribes of China was started.

Some historians believe that the people of Kashmir were taken away from their country Israel. They were prisoners（俘虏） of war almost 2,800 years ago. People say that these people travelled along the Silk Road. They kept their Jewish way of life for a long time.

During its busiest period, the Silk Road allowed people from many different cultures and countries to meet each other and mix. The Silk Road allowed the sharing of valuable things and new ideas. It included people and trading goods from different areas. All these peoples travelled the Silk Road, and they shared goods, stories, languages. and cultures.

In modern times, the old Silk Road routes（路线） are still used, but now they are crossed by trains instead of camels and horses. There is even a Silk Route Museum in Jiuquan in China. It has over 35,000 objects from all along the Silk Road. In this way, China protects the history of many countries and peoples.
