　　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”people meet frequently in the winter swam in freezing cold water．That day the air temperature was 3 degrees．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 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．

　　Doctors don’t agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming．Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body’s temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops beating．Other doctors, however, point out that there is a greater danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and the 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 their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system 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 could not try cold-water swimming．

　　The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental．The Polar Bears love to swim all the year round．They find it fun and relaxing．As one 70-year-old woman says, “When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away．”

One Sunday a few of us decided to take advantage of the first sunny day we’d have for ages to take a trip down to the coast to visit the penguins again. Last time I went down there was a couple of months ago and it was a dull cold day. Sunday couldn’t have been more different — clear skies and sunshine made it feel like summer, although it was still -25°C.
Six of us drove to the coast. It was the first time we’d been off the base on our own without our field assistant, so it had a slightly different feeling — more like a few friends going to the seaside than an Antarctic field trip! When we reached Windy Creek, we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying seabirds, which are seldom seen there.
Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the main group to come and check us out. We’d been told that then they were nursing their chicks (剛孵出的幼雛) and they would be more careful and nervous than last time, but that didn’t seem to be the case. We walked across to the main group which were stretched for a couple of miles along the coast. We sat down for some sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers. Without any attackers on land, they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose (擺姿勢) for photos.
Before heading back, we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks, which had grown dramatically (明顯地) since our last visit. It was such a nice day.
【小題1】
When did the trip most probably happen?

A．On a dull Sunday.B．On a warm Sunday.
C．On a summer Sunday.D．On a winter Sunday.
【小題2】
It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the six people _____.
A．felt a little nervous
B．felt a little excited
C．were left all by themselves on their Antarctic base
D．got bored with staying with their field assistant
【小題3】
What does the writer mean by saying “but that didn’t seem to be the case”?
A．They were told a lie.
B．A wrong decision was made.
C．The truth was the opposite.
D．They didn’t believe what they were told.
【小題4】
The six people did the following during the trip EXCEPT _____.
A．feed the penguins
B．take pictures of the penguins
C．enjoy watching flying seabirds
D．watch the young penguins

Lisa was running late. Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired—maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away, Frank, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, “Oh, my God, she fell in!” Frank didn’t hesitate(猶豫). He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you! ”his girlfriend shouted after him.
She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.
It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her four feet to the platform(站臺) so that bystanders could hold her by the legs and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness(知覺), felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse.
Lisa thought she’d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn’t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown - just as he had been seconds after the rescue(營救), which made her think about her reaction at the time. “I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die,” she explained.
【小題1】What was the most probable cause for Lisa’s weakness?

A．She had run a long way.B．She felt hot in the subway.
C．She had done a 1ot of work. D．She had donated blood the night before.
【小題2】Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?
A．Because they would miss their train.
B．Because he didn’t see the train coming.
C．Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.
D．Because she was afraid the train would kill him.
【小題3】 How did Frank save Lisa?
A．By lifting her to the platform.B．By helping her rise to her feet.
C．By pulling her along the ground.D．By dragging her away from the edge.
【小題4】When did Lisa become conscious again?
A．When the train was leaving.
B．After she was back on the platform.
C．After the police and fire officials came.
D．When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.
【小題5】The passage is intended to _____________
A．warn us of the danger in the subwayB．show us how to save people in the subway
C．tell us about a subway rescueD．report a traffic accident

When I was in medical college, I went camping with some of my friends. The season was summer; therefore, we chose to go to the seaside. After arriving there, we rent a room and left our luggage there. We finished lunch and then decided to rent a boat because the sea and the weather were beautiful.
We started to row, but about one mile out, the weather suddenly changed. Although the weather was not good, we didn't want to give up, but finally my friends and I agreed that we should go back. We tried to change the boat's direction, but as soon as we changed it, the oarlock (槳架)broke. Therefore, we were unable to turn back. We had to wait for help because we couldn't do anything.
After seeing the change of weather, we shouldn't have continued to row, but it was too late. We regretted(后悔) it. The sea changed a lot, the waves got very high, and the boat began to shake like a cradle(搖籃). One of my friends started to cry; another started to vomit(嘔吐). Three hours passed, and nobody came to help us. We were just praying.
Fortunately, after five long hours of waiting, two big boats came to rescue us and we escaped. If they hadn't come to get us, we would have crossed the border between Turkey and Greece because the border was very close.
This story is the most exciting story of my life because we could have died, but luck was with us and we escaped.
