15、cans generally take a bath - or more commonly, a shower - every day. But in contrast to some cultures, most Americans get their shower in the morning, so they can start the day fresh. And instead of going to a beauty parlor for a shampoo, many Americans prefer to wash and style their own hair. So if

16、 Americans have a “bad hair day“, they have no one to blame but themselves. But most people in America do head for the beauty parlor or barber shop occasionally for a haircut, a perm or just some friendly conversation. Americans are known for having very sensitive noses. In America, “B. O.“ (Body od

17、or) is socially unacceptable. For that reason, Americans consider the use of deodorant or anti-perspiring a must. Ladies often add a touch of perfume for an extra fresh scent. Men may splash on after shave lotion or manly-smelling cologne. Another cultural no-no in America is bad breath. Americans d

18、ont like to smell what other people ate for lunch - especially onions or garlic. What are their solutions? Mouthwash, breathing mints and even brush their teeth after meals. Some of the cultural variations in grooming practices result from physical differences between races. Whereas many Asian men h

19、ave little facial hair, Westerners have a lot. As a result, most American men spend some time each day shaving or grooming their facial hair. Beards and mustaches are common sights in America, although their popularity changes from generation to generation. Most American men who wear facial hair try

20、 to keep it nicely trimmed. American women, on the other hand, generally prefer not to be hairy at all. Many of them regularly shave their legs and armpits. Americans put great value on both grooming and personal hygiene. For some people, taking care of themselves has become almost a religion. As th

21、e old saying goes, “Cleanliness is next to godliness.“ Whether or not being clean and well-groomed brings one closer to God, it certainly brings one closer to others. Americans look down on people who dont take care of themselves or who “let they go.“ To Americans, even if we dont have much to work

22、with, we have to make the best of what weve got. 25 The authors purpose of telling the old joke in paragraph 1 is to prove _. （ A） Americans take a bath once a week （ B） Americans take a bath every day （ C） Americans like taking a bath （ D） Americans put great value on both grooming and personal hyg

23、iene 26 Most people in American go to the barber shop except for a _. （ A） bath （ B） haircut （ C） perm （ D） conversation 27 The sentence “Americans are known for having very sensitive noses“ probably suggests that _. （ A） Americans dont like body odor （ B） Americans always use deodorant or anti-pers

25、al Hygiene （ D） Cleanliness and Godliness Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 30 When a rare disease ALD threatened to kill the four-year-old boy Lorenzo, his parents refused to give up hope. Doctors explained that

26、there was no cure for ALD, and that he would probably die within three years. But Lorenzos parents set out to prove the doctors wrong. The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure. But doctors and the families of other ALD patients often refused to take them ser

27、iously. They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time, and drug companies werent interested in supporting research into such a rare disease. However, the parents still refused to give up and spent every available hour in medical libraries and talking to anyone who would help. Through

28、trial and error (反复实验 ), they finally created a cure from ingredients (调料 ) commonly found in the kitchen. The cure, named“ Lorenzos Oil“, saved the boys life. Despite the good results, scientists and doctors remained unconvinced. They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the

29、 treatment was just a theory. As a result, some families with ALD children were reluctant to try it. Finally, the boys father organized an international study to test the oil. After ten years of trials, the answer is: the oil keeps ALD children healthy. 30 Doctors said that Lorenzo might die within
