keep taking regular swigs from your water bottleGiven that evaporation （蒸发） is your bodys cooling mechanism, you can help things along with an external application of water Soaking your hat with water is a great way to cool the head, though if the sun is beating down, it will probably dry off almost immediately Better still then if you can plunge into a river or the sea fully-clothed And if thats not possible, then at least take off your boots and socks and paddle in a cool streamWalking in the heat increases the rate at which your feet swell, which can lead to them feeling tight in your boots Cool water from a stream reduces any swelling and helps general foot comfort At the same time, you can check out your feet for signs of blisters Extra sweating makes the skin softer and increases the chance of blisters forming, in the same way as when water leaks into your boots and gets to your feetAs for what clothing you wear, this should be lightweight and reasonably loose-fitting Tight clothing will feel uncomfortable and may even lead to the formation of an irritating rash known as prickly heat on your skin The answer, if this does develop, is to try and stay cool as much as possible Do this by either keeping in the shade, or washing the affected area with cold water, but without soap But prevention is by far the best approach, so keep your clothing lightIts understandable to want to remove any extraneous clothing when its extremely hot, but it doesnt really make much sense to take off T-shirts The suns rays can be quite strong, and shoulders are always very sensitive to sunburn This is the worst place to be red and sore when you are wearing a heavy rucksack on your back Wearing shorts can also create problems for walkers, as the backs of the legs can catch the sun very easilyIn fact, those days when an apparently harmless breeze is blowing can be the most deceptive It might not feel so hot, so you probably wont notice the damage being done so soon As on every other day then, a good strong sun cream should therefore be applied to any skin which is exposed Make the most of the summer, but treat the sun with the respect it deserves51 The writer says that hot weather _A is the main cause of heart attacksB requires walkers to have frequent drinksC is the worst type of weather for mountain walkingD ensures that mountain walkers stay fit52“it” in paragraph 3 refers to _A the sunB your hat C the head D water53 According to the text, when might your feet suffer? A When they cool downB If you are wearing tightly-fitting bootsC When they are wetD If you have to walk through water54 What does the writer mean by extraneous clothing in paragraph 6?A Clothing no longer needed to keep you warmB Clothing considered unusual in hot weatherC Clothing which is too tight D Clothing which is too heavy to wear55 According to the writer, when are walkers particularly at risk from the effects of the sun? A When they are unaware of the heatB If their sun cream is not strong enough C When there is a strong wind D If they have suffered an injuryDA few years ago, pop poets such as Murray Lachlan Young began to set poetry to rock music with some surprising results People thought that poetry was the new rock n roll However, despite the brief popularity of a few pop poets, poetry and pop music didnt seem to mix But are they really so different?If you look back at the origins of poetry, there is a strong connection between poems and popular music In Greek mythology, for example, the muse （女神） Erato is pictured with a lyre （里拉琴） in her hand, and looks just like the ancestor of the modern rock star with his electric guitar In addition, the poets Shelley and Byron were as famous in the nineteenth century as the pop stars of todayBut despite their common origins, there are many differences between poetry and pop music Pop songs are always written for a public performance, whereas poetry often isnt And the lyrics in pop songs sometimes have less rhythm than those in poetry This is because the music provides the rhythm rather than the words Pop lyrics are also simpler and often keep on saying the same thing This repetition works well in a performance and means that pop songs are easier for people to sing and learn by heartBoth songs and poems tell a story or talk about feelings Songs in particular deal with the different stages in a relationship, such as falling in love or breaking up The words and ideas in songs are usually easier to understand than those in “serious” poetry However, talented performers like Paul McCartney, or newer s
