阅读理解 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, the air temperature was 3℃, 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.1.The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that __________.A.they must reach the age of 60B.they should be easy to make friends withC.they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold monthsD.they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February2.Doctors __________.A.encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming activelyB.point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimmingC.believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summerD.have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming3.According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that __________.A.you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blueB.cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winterC.cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously highD.Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water4.The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for __________.A.they can remain youngB.it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winterC.they find it enjoyable and interestingD.they might meet fewer troubles in life5.The passage is mainly about __________.A.a group of cold-water swimming loversB.the polar bears' lifeC.doctors' ideas about cold-water swimmingD.the requirements of the Polar Bear Club
