【解析】文章从话题“为了保持干净，讲究卫生，人类经常洗澡”引入话题，动物是如何清洁自己？接着从不同的动物，鸟类角度，介绍了它们各自清洁自己的有趣方式。比如，猪喜欢在水里打滚儿；毛鼻袋熊是一种长着很多毛儿的澳大利亚动物，它们经常躺在地上，然后浑身盖上沙子来给自己洗澡。

【1】根据上文：To wash yourself, you take a bath (洗澡) or a shower.可知人类通过洗澡来清洁自己；结合下文：But how do animals clean themselves? 但是动物们怎样清洁自己呢？可知空白处需要谈论动物也需要清洁自己，下文才可以探讨方式。故答案为：C.

【2】根据上文：Pigs also like to roll(打滚） around in water.猪喜欢在水里打滚儿。可知下文也在讨论猪打滚也是为了清洁自己的问题。故答案为：B.

【3】根据下文：The wombat (毛鼻袋熊) is an Australian animal with lots of fur. 毛鼻袋熊是一种长着很多毛儿的澳大利亚动物。结合这段主题为动物清洁自己的方式，可知下文应该谈论它们如何清洁自己的方式。故答案为：G.
