Dcotors dont agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the bodys temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.Other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter. The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming. The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental.The Polar Bears love to swim all year round;they find it fun and relaxing.As one 70-year-old woman says,When I go into water,I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away. 65.The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_. A.they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months B.they must reach the age of 60 C.they should be easy to make friends with D.they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February 66.According to the passage,some doctors believe it is true that_. A.Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water B.cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high C.you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue D.cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter 67.The Polar Bears like to swim year-round,for_. A.it is an easy way ot keep the body warm in winter B.they can remain young C.they find it enjoyable and interesting D.they might meet fewer troubles in life 68.The passage is mainly about_. A.the requirements of the Polar Bear Club B.a group of cold-water-swimming livers C.the Polar Bears life in New York D.doctors ideas about cold-water swimming D Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life.Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk.In fact,you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However,I believe that five is the best age to learn.By five or six,a child knows fear of water,a very important thing to know.Its wise to be afraid,to recognize true danger.Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous. To really benefit from swimming,every swimmer should learn,as soon as possible,these four basic strokes;butterfly,backstroke,breastroke,and crawl.I feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others,since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally,without any training. In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow: 1.Never swim alone!No matter how good you are in the water,dont risk drowning by swimming alone.If you swim by yourself,with no life guards or friends with you,you may get into trouble. 2.Dont go beyond your abilities.Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach,Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good. Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive. 3.Dont smoke.Swimming depends on a healthy body;good lungs are part of it. 4.Work at any activity that builds muscles. 69.Little children can learn to swim as soon as _. A.they can talk B.they start walking C.they have no fear of the water D.they are five or six years old 70.The author believes that fear of water is_. A.stupid B.sensible C.dangerous D.not smart 71.The stroke that some young swimmers use first is_. A.Picture(1) B.Picture(2) C.Picture(3) D.Picture(4) 72.According to the passage,you should not swim alone because_. A.the water is too cold B.your parents would not be happy weakness n. 缺点；虚弱；弱点C.something in the water might attack D.you might drown Cuzco n. 库斯科（秘鲁南部城市）E Is there a difference in meaning betweenIts too late to make a telephone.Mary is asleep now. and Its too late to telephone.Mary will be asleep now？ Yes.The difference is in the reason given for it being too late to telephone.In the first sentenceMary is asleep now,the speaker is stating a fact.In the second sentenceMary will be asleep now, the speaker is saying what Mary usually does.In fact,its possible that Mary isnt asleep,but she is usually asleep at this time. weaken vi. （对某事的决心）动摇；减弱So lets take two situations.In the first case,imagine Marys mother answers the telephone. satellite n. 卫星；人造卫星You:May I speak to Mary,please? shoot （shot, shot） vt. 射中；射伤Mother:No.Its too late.Mary is asleep now.
