Treating disease by taking a bath has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700s had also become popular in the United States.

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 18th 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.

They consider a daily bath essential to good health. 【语篇概述】文章讲述了洗澡的起源, 以前的人们并不喜欢洗澡, 而后来医生说洗澡有利于健康时, 洗澡很快开始流行起来, 直到现在成为了全世界人们的习惯。1. A water system for baths was built byover 3, 000 years ago.

The first important difference is in the mans role. The traditional husband was the head of the household because he was the only one who worked outside the home. If the wife worked for money, then the husband was not considered to be a good provider. In many families today, both husband and wife work for money. Therefore, they share the role of head of household. In addition, the traditional husband usually made big decisions about spending money. However, the modern husband shares these decisions with his working wife. Also, the traditional husband did not help his wife with housework or meal preparation. Dinner was ready when he came home. In contrast, the modern husband helps his working wife at home. He may do some of the household chores, and it is not unusual for him to cook. The second difference is in the womans role. In the traditional family, the woman may have worked for money during her first years of marriage. However, when she gave birth, she would usually give up her job. Her primary role would be to take care of her family and home. In contrast, in many families today, the modern woman works outside the home even after she has children. Shes doing two jobs instead of one, so she is busier than the traditional mother was. The traditional wife learned to live within her husbands income. But the modern wife does not have to because the family has two incomes. The final difference is in the role of the children. In the traditional family, the children were taken care of by the mother because she didnt work outside. However, today pre-school children may go to a child-care center or to a baby-sitter regularly because the mother works. The school-age children of a traditional family were more dependent. Their mother was there to help them get ready for school and to make their breakfast. In contrast, modern children are more independent. They have to get up early and get ready for school by themselves, and they may even have to make their own breakfast. 【语篇概述】本文主要介绍家庭变化。9. The main idea of the passage is.
