When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊）?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
Dcotors don't agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's 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,
10.The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_____.

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.It's 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,don't risk drowning by swimming alone.If you swim by yourself,with no life guards or friends with you,you may get into trouble.
2.Don't 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.Don't smoke.Swimming depends on a healthy body;good lungs are part of it.
4.Work at any activity that builds muscles.
14.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
15.The author believes that fear of water is_____.
A.stupid B.sensible C.dangerous D.not smart
16.The stroke that some young swimmers use first is_____.
A.Picture(1) B.Picture(2) C.Picture(3) D.Picture(4)
17.According to the passage,you should not swim alone
because_____.
A.the water is too cold B.your parents would not be happy
C.something in the water might attack D.you might drown E
Is there a difference in meaning between
Yes.The difference is in the reason given for it being too late to telephone.In the first sentence
So let's take two situations.In the first case,imagine Mary's mother answers the telephone.
You:
Mother:
You:
Mother:
The mother knows that Mary is asleep because she went into her room and saw her.
Here is another case.Two friends decide to telephone Mary. Jack:
Jill:
Jill knows that Mary always goes to bed before 10 o'clock ,so now she'll probably be asleep.But it is also possible that she is staying up late.
18.In the first situation,Mary's mother_____.
A.wants to tell you that she knows Mary is asleep B.knows that Mary was asleep
C.has no idea whether Mary is asleep or not D.wants to know if she can take a message for Mary

A.knows that Mary has gone to bed B.doesn't know that Mary is asleep
C.thinks it's likely that Mary cannot answer the telephone D.is sure that Mary can not answer the telephone
