As is known to us all, baths and bathing have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece there are the ruins of a water system for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.
Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700’s has also become popular in the United States.
For many years frequent(經(jīng)常的) bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided, and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!
By the 1700’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.
In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city, for example, a person was only allowed to take a bathe every thirty days! That was a law!
Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bath once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential (="necessary)" to good health.

As is know, when senior students graduate from school, most           
of their textbooks are thrown away, which are still in a good               
condition. What a waste it is! I quite agree to the suggestion we             
should recycle these textbooks. For one thing, recycle textbooks            
can save a lot of natural materials, which is used to make                 
textbooks. For other, senior students may have plenty of useful             
notes over the pages. They are very helpful to those textbook users.          
What’s worse, the cost of the books will unload some burden of the         
families of the students. Actually in Australia and any other countries,        
recycling textbooks is popular but it gives us a good example.              
Why can’t we have a try?

As is know to us all, paper burns easy. Yesterday, Mike, a six-year-old boy, made a paper box and then filled it for water. He then lit a candle and tries to burn the paper box. Much to his surprises, the paper box didn’t catch fire. Such curious was the child about the experiment that he asked his father endless questions about it. His father, which is a teacher in a primary school, didn’t know how to ask these questions, but he didn’t pretend to understand. He did everything he could help his son solve the problem. This experience made Mike interesting in the study of modern science.
