But the people who want to build the supermarket seem to think that no one wants the library any more, and that it isnt a must because of the Internet and so on. Is this necessar

21、ily true, especially for elderly people？What about young people who dont have the Internet at home and need to go to the library to do their homework？Where can they study if they have to share a room with a younger brother or sister?On the other hand, there is an argument that a new supermarket woul

68、s 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 th

69、ought 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 ， King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a noblema

70、n had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out. Though the belief in the merit (好处) of dirt was longlived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good t

71、o health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War .Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has th

72、e hate for dirt, however, gone too far? Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many firsttime parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages chil

And the latter (后者) position is gaining some grounds. 注意：1概要词数应为60左右；2请按如下格式在相应位置作答。_【答案】One possible version：People have mixed opinions towards dirt on our skin (要点1). For a long time in the history, people of some European countries, suc
