    Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.

    In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.

    Though the belief in the advantage of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?

    Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some reason.

读后续写

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

    Laurie sat quietly in the empty dressing room. She had not competed since the accident. As she waited for her turn to skate, Laurie was very nervous. Today was very important in her comeback (复出). "If I can win today," she thought, "I can skate in the World Cup next year."

    Before Laurie had her accident, everyone had said that she was the one to beat.

    She thought back to that car accident where her right knee was badly injured. She spent six total months on recovery, treatment and practice because she hoped to regain her skill.

    "Hello, Laurie," one of her friends burst in. "How's the knee? Is it going to slow you down?"

    "I guess we'll find out tonight," Laurie said.

    "There's a girl named Jinny, strong in everything. She's the only real competitor you have to beat," the friend said and hurried out.

    Hearing that, Laurie decided to show her most difficult jump. "If I don't try it, I won't stand a chance," she thought. "Does anyone believe that I can still win?"

    Suddenly her right knee sent pain up and down her leg. The doctor said it would do that for a while. "What makes you think you have a chance tonight?" she said to herself.

    After the pain passed, she moved slowly to warm up. Then she said firmly, "I must win!"

    At that moment, a young woman hurried in with a skate equipment bag. She put some of her belongings onto a chair. Her bag fell to the floor. "Hi, I'm Jinny Jordan," she said.

    Laurie felt uncomfortable as she looked at Jinny. "So this is my competitor," thought Laurie. "Because of her, I may lose tonight."

    "I'm Laurie Collins," Laurie told Jinny. "Something fell out of your bag, Jinny."

    As Jinny began to gather her belongings, the door opened.

    "Jinny," someone called, "your tape of music is missing. You are the next one! Laurie, after Jinny."

    "Oh, my God! I thought I had handed it in hours ago, the green box with my name on," screamed Jinny, hurrying out.
