I used to shower with soap every day，but my skin（皮肤）always felt dry and itchy（发痒的）. Then two months ago, I heard of the no-soap movement. Since then, I’ve given up using soap in the shower. I still shower every day. I just don't use soap because it's filled with chemicals.
So, what's so bad about using soap? Well, the chemicals in soaps can be harmful to our health. So, if we use soap, our skin will take in the chemicals, which will then end up in our bodies. According to the scientists, some of the chemicals used in a soap are quite dangerous. During my research, I also learnt that soap removes moisture（水分）from the body. This is actually why my skin was so dry and itchy.
Getting used to washing my body without soap was a huge change. For the first week, I felt a bit dirty and I didn't smell great, either. However, during the second week, my skin felt clean without strange smell. Best of all, my skin problems disappeared, and now I have softer and healthier skin.
On the whole, going soap-free has not only saved me time and money, but has also improved my skin. What's more, this experience has made me take a look at some of the other products I use in the shower, such as shampoo. More about that in my next blog!
1. What do people do when they join the no-soap movement?| A．Have a shower only a week. | B．Never use soap when having a shower. |
| C．Throw away all the soap they have. | D．Make soap on their own instead of buying it. |
| A．Because she takes showers too often. | B．Because she often showers at a high heat. |
| C．Because the soap she uses smells terrible | D．Because soap takes away her moisture. |
| A．She smelt bad but felt clean. | B．She felt dirty but smelt great. |
| C．She smelt normal and felt clean. | D．She felt dry and smelt strange. |
| A．When and how the shampoo was invented. | B．Where and when her shampoo was brought. |
| C．How she enjoys the shower with shampoo. | D．What she thinks of shampoo in the shower. |
【推荐2】So much work and too little play is not good for anybody, especially school students. That’s what we have—too much work and too little play. Getting more vacation is a way to correct this problem.
I think that we students should be given much more vacation time than we get right now. At the present time, we’re off only three weeks in winter, two months in summer, and all national holidays. It’s not enough. We work hard in school, and we need time to relax. We need more time than we get now. In fact we need a lot more time.
Students should get more vacation time because I feel we go to school too much during the year. I’ve only checked with my best friend Matt, but I think the whole school would agree with me on this. They all understand the importance of time away from books and homework. They would agree that more time for ballgames and television would be a good idea.
Adults who work in business get vacation, so why shouldn’t kids? Yes, school is important, but so is vacation. It’s something that all kids deserve. Now is the time to see that we get what we deserve.
1. What is the writer’s opinion in the passage?| A．Students should get more school time. |
| B．Students should have more vacation time. |
| C．Students should spend more time on ballgames. |
| D．Students should understand the importance of play. |
| A．By describing many details. | B．By telling true stories. |
| C．By expressing their thoughts. | D．By showing some numbers. |
| A．should be given | B．should be told |
| C．should be taught | D．should be allowed |

【推荐3】Jack Brown was very quiet when he saw his doctor. The doctor said, "Open your mouth and say" Ah and then he took his temperature and listened to his heart. He asked Jack's mother, "When did Jack begin to fall ill?”

【推荐1】In 1942, Stephen William Hawking was born in Oxford, England. His parents’ house wasn’t in Oxford. It was in the north of London. But at that time, people thought Oxford was a safer place to have babies because of the Second World War. Stephen’s father was a good doctor. His mother didn’t work.
In 1950, when Hawking was eight years old, his family moved to St. Albans, a town about 20 miles north of London. At eleven, Stephen went to St. Albans School, and then went to Oxford University. There he wanted to study maths, but there wasn’t maths course(课程) in the university. So he studied physics(物理).
In 1988, Stephen’s greatest work A Brief History of Time was published(出版). And people all over the world began to know the greatest physics scientist—Stephen William Hawking.
When he studied math and science at Oxford University, he became unable to speak or breathe(呼吸) without the help of machines. Till now, he can’t move or feed himself. However, he has a wheelchair(轮椅) with a special computer, with it, he can communicate(沟通) with others.

Last month, Mr and Mrs White invited most of the neighbours to their garden for an “all-day food festival”. They asked us to bring gloves and arrive early in the morning. We didn’t know what would take place.
By 9:00 a.m., there were nine of us in the garden picking tomatoes, beans and other vegetables. At lunch, there were lots of laughs. We shared a lot of stories. After dinner, we played games. Before we left, Mr and Mrs White gave each of us a shopping bag filled with vegetables. What a great gift!
Of course I loved the green vegetables, but I loved the happy time being with my neighbours more. Mr and Mrs White were so nice that they helped us learn from each other better. Now Mr and Mrs White have a blog about gardening. They teach us to grow vegetables online. And I can’t wait to see my tomato plants bear fruit (结果实).
