Washing habits have changed over the years. In the 16th century, most people had a bath once a month... if they were lucky. Up until the 1950s, it was once a week. Only just recently has the concept of daily showering become popular. But now, according to the New York Times, things are changing again.
The latest trend is known as "soap-dodging". It basically consists of washing less, having fewer showers and using less soap and deodorant. "I just wash my hair once a month now. " said Brett Dawson, a 32-year-old management consultant. "I use a slice of lemon instead of the usual deodorant," said 35-year-old computer analyst Brandon Smith. "I have just one bath a week," said Miriam Bayliss, a 28-year-old accountant.
And it appears to be growing in popularity. A poll last year for tissue manufacturer SCA found that 41% of British men and 33% of women don’t shower every day. And 12% of people have a proper wash just once or twice a week. Further research by Mintel found that more than half of British teenagers don’t wash every day—with many opting for a quick spray of deodorant to mask any smell. But why?
Over the last few years there have been regular suggestions that daily hair-washing, or even any hair washing at all, is quite unnecessary, with the commentator Matthew Parris admitting he hadn’t shampooed his hair for a decade, and broadcaster Andrew Marr reporting himself perfectly happy with the results when he followed suit for a short while. Many people clearly agree that a regular hair-wash is a hassle. In 2008, Boots reported a 45% rise in sales of dry shampoo(a product that can be sprayed on hair between showers), while the Batiste brand has recently seen its sales double.
And some people want to help the environment. " I limit my showers to about twice a week. " said Nigel Hamerstone, a 42-year-old architect. "The rest of the time I have a sink wash, " he adds. " I believe that I’m as clean as everyone else, and it’s helped get my water consumption down to around 20 litres a day—well below the 100 to 150 average in the UK. "
The use of deodorant has fallen too. Some are concerned about the possible links between the aluminium in some antiperspirants and Alzheimer’s disease. Others have discovered the benefits of crystal sticks(also known as "crystal mineral deodorant stones").(74)
These mineral salts prevent body odour from occurring naturally by forming a layer on the skin which kills the bacteria.
They’re non-sticky, non-staining and they haven’t been tested on animals.

It may be worth us all occasionally missing a shower or two, then, so long as we don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.
While being environmentally friendly is good, smelling like a bin is not. [br] Translate the underlined sentences of the passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
