21、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

22、years frequent(經(jīng)常的) bathing was believed to be bad for one's health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided(避免), 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. Th

46、ver will, the novel's terrible logicthe giving way of dreams to fate (命運(yùn))For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight.

49、Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didn't always read from the expected point of view.About The Red Pony, one student said, “it's about being a man, it's about manliness.”I had never before seen the parallels between

50、Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeth's soliloquies (獨(dú)白) read as raps (說唱), but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbeck's writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that “all

51、 these people hate each other, and they're all white”. His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.Year after year, however, w

52、e are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich (充實(shí)) the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that w
