【答案解析】[考点] 细节题 洗衣服的第一步是什么? 由题干中的关键词the first step锁定信息在第一段第二句First, throw clothes of similar color into the machine, for example, whites, clothes, and towels should be washed separately。由此可知，洗衣服的第一步是把颜色相近的衣服扔进洗衣机里。故选B。 [参考译文] 为了有效利用这台洗衣机，你要认真地完成下面四个步骤：装入衣服、放入洗涤剂、调节水温、投币。首先，将相近颜色的衣服放入洗衣机，比如，白色的，有颜色的和毛巾应分开洗涤。当操作这一步时，你要小心，不要放入太多衣服。其次，你要认真阅读洗涤剂包装盒上的使用说明以便根据不同的洗衣量来确认用量。下一步是选择合适的水温。有三种水温可选择：热水、温水和冷水。通常，白色的衣服要用热水洗。浅色衣服要用温水洗；深色或亮色衣服用冷水洗。最后，在关闭洗衣机盖子后，投入相应的硬币。 总之，通过这些简单的操作，你就可以得到干净的待晒衣服了。
