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. "

Popular British author, Charles Dickens´ (1812--1870)family could hardly make ends meet. They could only afford to send one of their six children to school.Dickens was not that child. His parents chose to send a daughter, who had a talent for music, to an academy. Then at the age of 12, Dickens´ life took another turn for the worse.
His father, a clerk, was placed in prison for unpaid debts. And, being the oldest male left at home, Dickens took up work at a factory. His horrible experience there became the fuel for his future writing .His father was freed three months later and inherited a small amount of money. Dickens was then sent to school.
From 1836 to 1837, he wrote a monthly series of stories. Thus The Pickwick, Papers,came into being, which brought fame to him.
Throughout his career, Dickens covers various situations in his novels .He wrote about the miserable lives of the poor in Oliver Twist, the French Revolution in Tale of Two Cities, and social reform in Hard Times. He also wrote David Copperfield, a book thought to be modeled on his own life.
"I do not write bitterly or angrily, for I know all these things have worked together to make me what I am," he once said. His difficult childhood did indeed shape the person he became, as well as his writing career. There are shades of young Dickens in many of his most beloved characters, including David Copperfield and Oliver Twist.
Like the author, all these characters come from poor beginnings and are able to rise above their setbacks and achieve success. "Minds, like bodies, will often fall into an ill-conditioned state from too much comfort," he once wrote .On June 9th, 1870, aged 58, Dickens died, leaving one unfinished work. The words on his tombstone read: "He was a sympathizer to the poor, the suffering and the oppressed, and by his death, one of England´ s greatest writers is lost to the world. "

Recently, a study has con firmed what I"ve long known in my heart: two breakfasts are better than none. The research on the effect of breakfast on weight gain was done on school children But for adults, in theory, two breakfasts are also better than none.
Researchers from Yale and the University of Connecticut followed 600 middle-school students as they developed from fifth to seventh grade, nothing their weight and if they had zerobreakfast, breakfast either at home or at school, or breakfast in both places They found that weight gain among second-breakfast eaters was no different from the average gain seen amongall students. Children who didn t eat breakfast, or ate it only sometimes, were more likely to be overweight than double-breakfasters It should be noted that only about one in ten children inthe study ate two breakfasts.
The study wasn"t designed to figure out why this might be true, but the researchers have some theories: that people who don t eat breakfast (or any meal) might overeat later in the day.and that as people become obese, they tend to reduce calories (热量) by having no breakfast
Yes. school breakfasts are more like a healthy snack (零食）than a full meal, and growingteens can eat a large amount of food But if you re still not eating breakfast because you think it glves you more colories, you are not only mistaken, but you are also missing out one of life"s greatpleasures

Alt was about the effect of dinner on weight gain

BIts result was opposite to the author's opinion

CIt was done on overweight school children

BAbout 90% of the children in the study had one breakfast a day

CAbout 10% of the children in the study had two breakfasts a day

DAbout 10% of the children in the study had no breakfast at all

The trick in food photography is to show the food looking fresh,so many dishes have stand-ins,just as movie stars do.“When I get my lights and cameras set up,I remove the stand-in and put in the real thing,”explains Ray Webber,who photographs food for magazine advertisements.“Sometimes I have to brush the meat with its juices because it may have dried out a bit.A.and when I’m shooting(拍照)something like tomatoes,I always carry water to spray them with dew just before I shoot.” Shooting food outdoors has special problems.“I’m always worrying about flies or worms crawling up a glass,”Webber explains,“my worry is that someday a dog will come up from behind and run off with the food.”Once Webber was shooting a piece of cheese outdoors and needed something to make its color beautiful.Finally he found it：a weed with lovely blue flowers.When the shot appeared,several people were horrified-the weed was deadly nightshade!
