王飞同学练习拉单杠时,两臂平行握住单杠,在他两臂逐渐分开的过程中,手臂的拉力( ) A.逐渐变大 B.逐渐变小C.先变小,后变大 D.先变大,后变小 答案:解析:设每个手臂的拉力为F,两个手臂的夹角为2θ,由题意可知2Fcosθ=mg,在两个手臂逐渐分开的过程中,θ角在逐渐增大,则cosθ值在逐渐减小,而mg不变,所以拉力F在逐渐增大,本题考查了力的合成与分解的知识.答案:AGetting rid of dirt, in the
opinion of most people, is 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 thought 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 IV, King of France, was
famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman 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 of
dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever
since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt
is good to 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 Ⅱ.
Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter than white,
cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too
far?
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.
