问题    Baths have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece there are the ruins of a water system for baths built over 3000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many as 3000 persons could bathe at the same time.
   Treating diseases by taking baths has been popular for centuries. Modern medical baths first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700 s bathing had also become popular in the United States.
   For many years frequently bathing was believed to be bad for one’ s health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided, and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!
   By the 1700s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.
   In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18 th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were known as "The Great Unwashed" ! In one American city, for example, a person was only allowed to take a bath every thirty days! That was a law!
   Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health. Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bathe once a day at least. They consider a daily bath necessary to good health.
Which of the following statements is true?

选项 A、It’s good for people to have baths only at night.
B、It’ s good for people to keep clean by having baths.
C、American people were not allowed to have a bath every 30 days.
D、The more frequently we have baths, the better health we’ll be in.

答案B

解析 A项中的“only at night”太过绝对,且文中未提及,所以不正确。根据最后一段第二句“People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health.”可知,沐浴可以使人们保持清洁,从而有助于身体健康,因此B项正确。根据第五段最后两句“In one American city…That was a law!”可知,当时有一个美国城市规定每30天洗一次澡,但并没有说所有的城市都这样做,所以C项错误。D项太绝对。故选B。
