However,I believe
17、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 poss
18、ible,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
19、!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 danger
20、ous 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. 56.Little children can learn to swim as soon as _.

22、tack D.you might drownB When did you last see a polar bear?On a trip to a zoo,perhaps?If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago,you would have seen a whole polar bear club.These Polar Bears are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water.That day,t
23、he air temperature was 3,and the water temperature was a little higher.The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island,New York are usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements.First,they must get along well with everyone else in the group;this is very important because there
24、 are so many different kinds of people in the club.Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February. 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
25、 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 wi
26、th 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 probab
27、ly 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 an
28、d let them float away. 59.The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_.

It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is
32、easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-i
33、mportance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air who can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet o
34、n the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called mon sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whos
35、e mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not alway
36、s true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong. 63. If
37、a person has his nose in the air, he _. A. is down to the earth B. is easy to deal with C. always thinks he is more important than others D. is confident64.
