　　答案與題解：

　　1.C 第一段的第一句告訴我們，ceremonial bathing 有多種形式，其中一種是sauna.所以只有C是正確的選項。

　　2.B 根據文章第二段的第四句，smoke sauna 被有些人認為是真正的sauna.句中 a background odor 也是指煙熏的氣味。

　　3.D 該段最后一句說 The regular use of a sauna may decrease the likelihood of getting a cold;第四句說 they may help to … speed recovery time;第一句說 Saunas are … stress relieving.所以，A、B、C都是桑拿可以做的。第三句Asthma patients find that the heat enlarges air passageways of the lung and facilitates breathing，這不足以說明桑拿有治愈小船的作用。因此，應選擇D.

　　4.A 該段第三局提供了答案。

　　5.D 文章最后一段高潔集中人不能洗桑拿，包括心臟病患者、老人、糖尿病患者、孕婦等。所以D是正確的選項。
