　　[1]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 need the same skills in walking as in swimming．However, I believe that five is the best age to learn．By five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know．It’s wise to be afraid, to recognize true danger．Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous．

　　[2]To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn _________：butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and crawl．I feel that one of these－the breaststroke－is different from the others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally, without any training．

　　[3]In swimming, there are certain 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．If you swim by yourself, with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into trouble．

　　(2)Don’t go beyond your abilities．Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach．Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good．Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive．

　　(3)Don’t smoke．Swimming depends on a healthy body; good lungs are part of it．

　　(4)Work at any activity that builds muscles．

　　[3]Being thrown into glass and metal parts of a car－or being thrown from the car－can really damage you．That’ s why safety belts should be worn．The safety belt’ s main purpose is ________．If your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or object or if it rolls over, a belt can reduce the chance of fatal injury by 45％ and the chance of serious injury by 50％．

　　[4]Air bags are important．More than half of all new cars sold have air bags．Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes – the type of crash that kills the most drivers, though they are also wearing safety belts．Most people demand air bags in the cars they buy．But the protection provided by air bags is limited in side or rear crashes．Effective as they are, they can’ t take the place of safety belts．

　　You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight．They hit one another hard．At the start they only fight with their fists．But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs．And so it goes on until one of the men crashes(撞击)through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below．He is dead!

　　Of course he isn't really dead．With any luck he isn't even hurt．Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast-moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals．They do this for a living．These men are called stuntmen．That is to say, they perform tricks．

　　There are two sides of their work．They actually do most of the things you see on the screen．For example, they fall from a high building．However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress(床垫)．Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!

　　But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training．Often a stuntman's success depends on careful timing．For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment．

　　Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives．They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed．A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff(悬崖)a thousand feet high．His parachute(降落伞)failed to open, and he was killed．

　　In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only．Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action．For nowadays there are stuntgirls too!

1．Please define(给…下定义)“stuntman”．

_____________________

2．What do you think is the most important factor of a successful performance for stuntmen?

_____________________

3．What can be inferred(推断出)from the author's example of the Norwegian stuntman?

4．Please decide if these statements are True(T)or False(F)．

1)Most of those stunt actors do their jobs for a living．_________

2)The windows those stuntmen crash through are made of plastic．_________

3)The jobs of stuntmen are well paid and safe since there is a lot of protection for them．_________

4)There are only men who are doing the stunt performance．_________

Directions：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage．

　　I've seen people do all kinds of things to relieve anxiety．Some have a glass of wine at dinner．Others shop or eat．But these are troubling times?with hurricanes, tsunamis, war, and acts of terrorism －and if drinking, eating, or hitting the mall is your way offending off anxiety over the state of the world, you should know that the bill will eventually come due．And I don't mean just the credit card statement．Such coping methods do nothing to build your inner strength and resiliency(ability to recover quickly from difficult conditions)．Fortunately, there are ways to nurture(encourage the growth or development of)true inner peace when outer peace isn't an option．

　　A few months ago, a woman I'll call Nancy attended one of my seminars．Nancy had been through hard times; Three years earlier her house had burned down; then her husband's National Guard unit shipped out to Iraq, and when he returned he was angry, depressed, and shocked．The couple got treatment yet grew further apart until, finally, her husband asked for a divorce．Nancy realized she had a choice：She could drown in self-pity or move forward．After seeing how the trauma(emotional shock)of war had torn up her husband, she wanted to make a difference with her life．So, at 35, she enrolled(officially register as a member)in nursing school．

　　I think even Nancy was surprised by her resilience．But her leap into a life of greater meaning came from a simple change in outlook．She shifted her focus from her own problems to the difficulties of others．And that one change brought her clarity and peace．

　　This time of global uncertainty challenges each of us to create our own sense of security．That doesn't mean you need to follow Nancy's lead into a nursing career, but keeping an eye on what really matters will help you maintain your balance when things around you seem to fall apart．

　　Longer distance public transports sometimes sell food and drink on board, and/or have a dedicated buffet car and/or dining car．However, some urban transport systems forbid the consumption of food, drink, or even chewing gum when riding on public transport．Sometimes only types of food are forbidden with more risk of making the vehicles dirty, e．g．ice creams and French fries．

　　In addition to talking to each other, many passengers use their cell phone in public transport．Although usually not allowed, sometimes music is played aloud．Some rail operators provide "quiet cars" where also talking is not allowed．On trains and buses in Hong Kong, buses and trains provide free TV．Buses provide gossip and hi-tech news, while trains provide news．

　　Despite the occasional highly publicized incident, the vast majority of modern public transport systems are well designed and patrolled and generally have low crime rates．Good lighting, CCTV, mirrors to see round blind corners and ensuring that there are always a good number of other people around can be used to increase safety and create a feeling of safety．Most transit operators have developed methods to discourage people from using their facilities for overnight shelter．

　　When compared to the private car however, public transport is a very safe form of transport in terms of deaths per passenger．By way of contrast, car accidents as estimated to cause some 1 million fatalities per year world wide．In the United States alone there were 42,643 automobile accident fatalities in 2003, almost three times the total number of murders(14,408)．
