10、 pool at the Y.M.C.A. offering exactly the opportunity. Mother continually warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the Y.M.C.A. pool was safe. I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and Father took me to the beach.
11、 The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me. The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on the side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, “Hi, Skinny! Howd you like to be ducked?” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end. I landed
12、 in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits-when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump, come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my
13、 eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly. When I came to consciousness, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital. I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled b
14、y. It deprived me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not. Sometimes terror would return. This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Wentworth. Only once did
15、 the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water.

The research adds to evidence that animals are dying out on such a scale that a sixth extinction is considered under way.One clue is body size. Research on birds and mammals
20、has shown that those with larger bodies are more likely to go extinct. Yet, when the researchers made a database of thousands of birds, mammals, fish, amphibians (两栖动物) and reptiles (爬行动物) at risk of extinction, they found disproportionate (不成比例的) losses at the large and small ends of the scale. “Su
21、rprisingly, we found that not only the largest of all vertebrate animal species are most threatened, but the very tiniest ones are also highly threatened with extinction,” Prof. Ripple told BBC News.Large animals, such as elephants, rhinos (犀牛) and lions have long been the target of protection effor
22、ts. However, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians that are the giants of their kind, such as the whale shark, Somali ostrich (鸵鸟) and the Chinese giant salamander (蝾螈), tend to be overlooked. Meanwhile, small species at risk-such as frogs and shrews (鼩鼱)-receive very little attention. “I think, for
23、the smallest species, first of all we need to bring higher awareness to them, because the larger ones get a lot of attention, but the smaller ones get very little,” said Prof. Ripple.In the study, vertebrates with the smallest and the largest bodies were found to be most at risk of disappearing, whe

29、earning Pod”, where a group of families pool cash to pay for an in-person tutor, is deepening that inequality.
