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。

Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's income. So this year she did something more than a hobby: She planted vegetables in her yard. For her first garden, Ms. Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants, and five rows of a variety of vegetables. The family's old farm house has become a chicken house, its residents arriving next month. Last year, Ms.Rita Gartin kept a small garden. This year she has made it much larger because, she said, “The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lo se a few pounds too; so it's a win­win situation all around.”They are among the growing number of Americans who, driven by higher living costs and a falling economy(经济), have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time. Others have increased the size of their existing gardens. Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home. Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months. In Austin, Tex., some of the gardens have a three­year waiting list.George C．Ball Jr, owner of a company, said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40% over last year, double the average growth of the last five years. Mr.Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years. The big one is the striking rise in the cost of food like bread and milk, together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegetables. Food prices have increased because of higher oil prices. People are now driving less, taking fewer vacations, so there is more time to garden.本文讲述了由于生活费用增高，加上经济下降，越来越多的人开始自己种菜，并且现在人们开车少了，旅游少了，有更多的时间来种菜，减少生活费用。

I knew a man，a very tall，gentle man，for several years before I found out that he visited prisoners in our local prison, week in and week out for decades. He would write letters for them，carry messages，fetch clothing or books。

But mainly he just offered himself。

He did not lecture to them, didn't pick and choose between those he liked and disliked and didn’t look for any return on his kindness。

All that mattered was that they were in trouble.Why did he spend time with prisoners when he could have been playing golf or watching TV？“I go in case everyone else has given up on them，” he told me once。

“I’ll never give up。

”Never giving up is a quality we honor in athletes，in soldiers，in survivors of disasters, in patients recovering from severe injuries。

key coffee shop in Encino. Not wanting to keep the superstar waiting，I arrived at nine, 20 minutes early。

As I was catching up on e。

mails，Selena quietly scooted into the seat next to me。

No bodyguard。

Not even a drop of makeup. She was ten minutes early and so inconspicuous that no one else in the restaurant looked up so much. Selena was wearing Bebe shorts。

She had a baby face and ordered a hot chocolate。

After making small talk about what she wore for the shoot，she dived into the subject of her career。

Selena declared 2012 the year of movies。

She filmed three：Spring Breakers，a drama；The Getaway, an action flick；and Hotel Transylvania，a comedy. Each is a marked move away from the teen style that made her a household name.Now that her Disney days are behind her，Selena is at that unstable point in a child star’s career where she is trying to grow up—both as a person （she turned 20 in July）and as an artist。

Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车)．But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile.Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker，instead of making the worker move to the parts.That is not true，either.Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford.What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better.And he made the whole factory a moving production line.In the early days of the automobile，almost every car maker raced his cars.It was the best way of gaining public notice.Henry Ford decided to build a racing car.Ford's most famous race was his first one.It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901，at a field near Detroit.All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left：the Winton and Ford's.The Winton was famous for its speed.Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead.But halfway through the race, it began to lose power.Ford started to gain.And near the end of the race, he took the lead.Ford won the race and defeated the Winton.His name appeared in newspapers and he became well­known all over the United States.Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company.In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.That_sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream.Ford said: “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people.It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for.It will be built of the best materials.It will be built by the best men to be employed.And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce.It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T．So did farmers.Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation.Americans loved the Model T．They wrote stories and songs about it.Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.本文记叙了亨利福特充分利用别人的想法，生产出了自己的汽车，形成了自己的生产流水线。
