The distance(距离) at the nearest points(点) is only about 20 miles but because of the strong tides(浪) the distance that must be swum is usually more than twice as far.The first man who succeeded(成功) in swimming the English Channel(海峡) was Captain Wed, an Englishman. This was in August 1857. He landed in France 21 hours later after he jumped into the water at Dover. Since then there have been many successful swimmers and time has been shortened(缩短). In 1960 a Canadian crossed in 10 hours and 23 minutes. Because the sea is usually cold, swimmers cover their bodies with grease(油脂). This helps them to keep out the cold. They can also eat something, because some men go with them in small boats.( )1.

Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.Adult(成年的) drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programmes are music.Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tape. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk(民间) music. It tells stories about the common(普通) life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.( )4. _ kinds of music are mentioned(提到) in this passage.A. Two B. Three C.

Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at the traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf.It stood outside a furniture(家具) shop. “Buy it,” she said at once, “Well carry it home on the roof-race(车顶架). Ive always wanted one like that.”What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof-rack. It was tall and narrow(狭窄), quite heavy too.As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us go through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.After a time my wife said, “Theres a long line of cars behind. Why dont they overtake(超车)?”Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously when they went past. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church(教堂). One of the officers came to me.“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need anymore help now?”I didnt quite understand. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “Youve been very kind. I live just down the road.”He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. “Well, well,” he said and laughed. “Its a bookshelf youve got there!

Theyre in their shells(壳)sleeping.Hot sun will dry out a snails body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into its shell and closes the opening with a thin cover. Then it goes to sleep. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So whenever it rains, it goes inside its shell houseand goes to sleep. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It can take a short sleep. Or it can sleep for days at a time. And it spends all the winter months in its shell, asleep.In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches(时) long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail looks for food. it cant see very well. its eyes, at the ends of the top feelers(触角), are very weak.
