attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. many first-time 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 children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. and the latter position is gaining some ground.【小题1】the kings of france and england in the 16th century closed bath houses because. athey lived healthily in a dirty environment.bthey believed disease could be spread in public bathscthey thought bath houses were too dirty to stay indthey considered bathing as the cause of skin disease【小题2】which of the following best describes henry ivs attitude to bathing?
