When did you last see a polar bear（北极熊）?On a trip to a zoo,perhaps?lf you had attended a win ter activity in New York a few years ago,you would have see n a whole polar bear club.These \"Polar Bears\" are people who meet freque ntly in the win ter to swim in freez ing cold water.That day,the air temperature was 3 °C ,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 requireme nts.First,they must get along well with every one 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.

Dcotors don't agree about the medical effects of cold-w in ter swim min g.Some are worried about the dan gers of a con diti on in which the body's temperature drops so low that fin ally the heart stops.Other doctors,however,po int out that there is more dan ger of a heart attack duri ng summer swim ming because the differe nee betwee n the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer tha n in win ter.

The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the ben efits of cold-water swimmi ng.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 swim ming.

The main ben efits of cold-water swim ming are probably men tal.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,l pour my troubles into the ocea n and let them float away.\"

65. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that ____ .

A. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold mon ths

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 n eed the same skills in walk ing as in swim ming. However,I believe that five is the best age to learn.By five or six,a child knows fear of water,a very importa nt thing to know」t's wise to be afraid,to recog nize true dan ger.Y oung ones un dersta nd that the water can sometimes be very dan gerous.

To really ben efit from swimmi ng,every swimmer should learn,as soon as possible,these four basic strokes;butterfly,backstroke,breastroke,a nd crawl.I feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others,sinee some young swimmers use this stroke naturally,without any trai ning.

In swimmi ng there are certa in 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.lf you swim by yourself,with no life guards or friends with you,you may get into trouble.

2. D on't go bey ond your abilities.Most swimmers know eno ugh not to swim too far from the bank or the beach,Show ing off by doing dan gerous tricks is no good.

Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive.

3. D on't smoke.Swim ming depe nds on a healthy body;good lungs are part of it. 4. Work at any activity that builds muscles.

69. Little children can learn to swim as soon as ___ .

A.they can talk B.they start walk ing C.they have no fear of the water D.they are five or six years old
