14、5 There used to be an old joke in America that people should take a bath once a week, whether they need one or not. In fact, though, Americans 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

15、 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 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 f

16、or a haircut, a perm or just some friendly conversation. Americans are known for having very sensitive noses. In America, “B. O.“ (Body odor) 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

17、 fresh scent. Men may splash on after shave lotion or manly-smelling cologne. Another cultural no-no in America is bad breath. Americans dont 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 a

18、fter meals. Some of the cultural variations in grooming practices result from physical differences between races. Whereas many Asian men have 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

19、 are common sights in America, although their popularity changes from generation to generation. Most American men who wear facial hair try 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. Ameri

20、cans put great value on both grooming and personal hygiene. For some people, taking care of themselves has become almost a religion. As the 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 oth

21、ers. 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 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 we

22、ek （ B） Americans take a bath every day （ C） Americans like taking a bath （ D） Americans put great value on both grooming and personal hygiene 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
