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.

2. Why does Selina’s skin always feel dry and itchy according to the reading?

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.

3. What happened to Selina during the second week?

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.

4. What might Selina write in her next blog?

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3】In the film Forrest Gump (《阿甘正传》), there’s a famous saying: “Life is like a box of chocolate; you never know what you’re gonna get.” It’s the same with blind boxes (盲盒).

Each of these small, sealed (密封的) boxes has one of many toy figures in a series (系列的) inside. The buyer doesn’t know which figure they’ve got until they open the box. The start of blind boxes can be dated back to lucky bags sold in Japan from the late 1860s. In recent years it becomes big business in China.

During the Double 11 shopping festival, POP MART, a leading blind box company in China, sold 55,000 LABUBU dolls on Tmall in just 9 seconds according to a Tmall report.

One reason for their popularity is the lovely look of the figures inside the boxes. They’re like small cartoon characters. They can be put anywhere in your home to make your home more beautiful and lovely. But another, perhaps more important reason people like them is the fun of being surprised. “The most interesting thing about blind boxes is the gap between what you expect and what you get.” said Wen Xi, a blind box collector from Beijing. The excitement of getting the exact thing you want is like winning the lottery.

The boxes are certainly enjoyable to some. However, others worry that children might spend too much money on these toys. “The blind box economy makes use of gambling psychology (赌博心理),” said Liu Chunsheng, “young people want to look for the excitement brought by higher risks, which leads to impulse buying (即兴购买).” Last year, over 200,0 Chinese customers spent more than 20, 000 yuan collecting blind boxes. Most of them were Generation Z (those born after 1995), according to a report by Tmall.

1. What do we know about blind boxes?

A．They came from the movie Forrest Gump.

B．People like them because of all kinds of boxes.

C．Buyers have no idea what is inside each box.

D．They first came out in China in the late 1860s.

A．POP MART is a big blind box company

B．blind boxes are popular in China

C．people can buy blind boxes online

D．LABUBU dolls are only sold on “Double 11”.

3. What does the underlined word “gap” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．关系

B．期待

C．缺口

D．差距

4. What is the most important reason for their popularity?

A．The lovely look of the figures inside the boxes.

B．It becomes big business in China.

D．The fun of being surprised.

5. What is the passage mainly about?

【推荐3】An Experiment Report on Growing Potato Plants

Things prepared:

* a potato that has sprouts

* a flower pot with soil

* a camera to record progress

Observation:

Day One

The color of the soil looks darker because I have just watered it. In the center of the pot, I can see a tiny sprout that has grown from the potato under the soil. I’ll call it Buddy. Buddy is green and yellow. I wonder how fast it will grow.

Day Six

Without much change in the past six days, I finally see some new progress on Buddy as it has grown taller. It’s exciting to see new life like this. I hope Buddy can grow faster.

Day Eleven

Buddy is getting larger! Three more new sprouts have grown around Buddy! Green leaves have grown on the new sprouts, but they have not fully grown yet. I guess I need to be a bit more patient.

Day Thirteen

Buddy continues to grow taller. The leaves on the new sprouts have grown a bit. I’m also excited to see more new sprouts that have grown from under the soil.

Day Fifteen

Finally, the leaves on the other sprouts are 3 cm tall. They’re so green.

What I have learned

It’s really interesting to grow potatoes. During these fifteen days, I have learned that growing potato plants needs plenty of water. If the soil is dry, the potato will fail to grow. I have also learned that the temperature needs to be right. If it is too cold, it won’t grow.

I feel that growing plants is just like trying to succeed in life — it takes not only time, but also lots of efforts and patience.
