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 winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3oC,and the water temperature was a bit 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 do not 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. 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 (or advantages)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( or advantages)of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim 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. "

Athey can remain young

Bit is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter

Cthey find it enjoyable and interesting

Mr.Jones had a big tree in his garden,and the children had tied a long _27_ to one of the branches,so that they could swing on it.

Mr.Jones saw the professor _28_ when he saw the rope and looked carefully up and down the roaD.When he saw that there was _29_ in sight,he stepped into the garden（there was no fence）,put his umbrella,newspaper,bag and hat nearly on the grass and _30_ the rope.He pulled it _31_ to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight,then ran as fast as he could and swung into the _32_ on the end of the rope,his grey hair blowing all around _33_._34_ he swung,sometimes taking a few more _35_ steps on the grass when the rope began to swing too slowly for him.

At last the professor stopped,straightened his tie,combed his hair carefully,put on his hat,picked up his umbrella,newspaper and bag,and continued on his way to the university,looking as quiet and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be.

Robert Kohout,39,was working outside his home last October when he heard a frightening noise.He turned round and saw Walter Graham's car sinking into 8 feet of water of the swimming pool a little distance away from his yard. Kohout immediately called to Graham’s wife,Evelyn, to telephone 911. Then he ran back to his house to get Terence Reif and Glenn Fajardo to help,who were at work inside the house.“There was no time for second thoughts,”said Reif,a farmer’s son.“The only thing to do was to get in the pool.” The car doors were locked.Graham，73，was unconscious（失去知觉），and his Mercury was rapidly filling with water. Reif struggled to break the driver's side window with a hammer but had trouble getting it done underwater. Finally—some four minutes after the car had fallen into the pool—the glass was broken. By then, Graham was floating at the top of the flooded passenger compartment( The three men pulled Graham out through the broken glass. He wasn't breathing and his heart stopped beating，so they performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.The rescue（急救）team arrived in no time.Doctors supplied him with advanced life support on the way to the hospital. “These people were getting to Graham through the glass,”said Dr.Jeff Messinger.“All three acted without regard for their own safety.”Added Evelyn Graham，“They were truly angels（天使）watching over us.
