【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 as last seen in 2005 and it stayed for a few months at that time before it was washed away again. As you can imagine, everyone on the island of Achill is thrilled to have their sandy beach back, and even though no one knows how long it39。s going to be around for, they are making the most of the time they39。ve got before it disappears again. Some may be quick to believe climate changes cause the phenomenon, but that39。s not the reason these two beaches in Achill keep disappearing, Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流體力學(xué)) and sediment(沉積物) supply, rather than climate changes. Regardless of what39。s causing them, disappearing and reappearing beaches are just part of what makes nature so fascinating.（1）What is people39。s reaction to the return of the Ashleam Bay beach? A.Full of fear.B.Quite delighted.C.Very disappointed.D.Extremely con fused.（2）What can we learn about the beach at Doonagh?

In fact, showering too often can actually hurt your body in the long run. As Time39。s public health column explains, daily showers are mon due to social norms more than any proper health need. We connect being freshly showered with being attractive and pleasing, so we tend to showering often to feel better. But what39。s the ideal shower frequency? In terms of your health — not how you look or smell — probably once or twice a week, assistant professor of dermatology at George Washington University, Dr. C. Brandon Mitchell says. “Your body is naturally a welloiled machine,” he says. “A daily shower isn39。t necessary.” Of course, your situation may vary. If you have a job like car maintenance or construction, you39。ll obviously have a visible layer of dirt you39。ll need to wash off every single day. Similarly, if you work out every day, you may not have any health risks by washing every day, but you39。ll still be smelly. If you feel like you need to take daily showers for aesthetic（審美的）reasons, at least make most of them light showers. “I tell patients who shower daily not to soap their whole bodies,” Mitchell says. Hit your pits, butt and groin, which are the areas that produce strong smells. The rest of your body doesn39。t need much soaping, he says. Too much time spent under the hot water can dry out your skin, cause cracks（裂紋）that can lead to infections or germs getting into your skin, and take away the natural oils on your skin that help keep it healthy. So, even if you39。re aiming to be your most presentable, be sure to keep it moderate to avoid hurting your skin in the long run.（1）According to the passage, why do most people shower daily?
