  The other day I was talking to a stranger on the bus; he told me that he had a good 1 in Chicago and he wondered if, by any chance, I 2 to know him. For a moment, I thought he might be 3 , but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was 4 . I felt like saying that it was ridiculous to 5 that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But, 6 , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very 7 city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minuses, and then he 8 to tell me all about his friend.

  His friend's main 9 in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player, and he 10 had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming 11 , yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several 12 like that, including my brother, who was a doctor in California. He 13 that maybe there were more private courts in the country than he 14 , but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me 15 my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence 16 his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a 17 who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had 18 the house next to my brother's house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.

  “Would your friend's name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He 19 and said, “Yes. Would your brother's name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my 20 to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.

  One of Lewis Gordon Pugh's first big attempts to put his cold-water skills to the test nearly ended in disaster.On a one-mile swim in Antarctica in December 2005, just yards from the finish, his body began to give in.The temperature inside his thigh muscle dropped to 87.8 degrees, the lowest ever measured in him.He was completely at the limits of his ability.

  Despite what he called the “grueling(折磨人的)” Antarctic swim, Pugh scheduled an even more fearsome test for himself at the North Pole.Stepping off the way of the Russian icebreaker that had crunched(咯吱作响的穿过)through floating sea ice for five days to take him to the North Pole, Pugh walked across the ice to a pool of open water over one mile long and two and a half miles deep.The sea temperature was 29 degrees, only a little above the freezing point of salt water.

  Pugh quickly took off his padded clothes.In only his bathing suit and cap, his skin already pink, he walked to the water's edge.“The only place I'm getting out is at the end,” he told himself.Then he removed his earphones and dived in.

  The pain was immediate.His entire body felt on fire.The doctor kept pace with him in a boat.Through iced-up goggles(护目镜), Pugh could see the armed guards keeping watch for bears.

  His friend Becker had broken down the huge task into manageable parts, each one marked by a flag planted in the ice that represented a friend, family member, or teammate.Fog started to roll in as Pugh headed for the final marker, the flag of Great Britain.He imagined his late father standing beside it-the man who had done so much to give him an interest in adventure.Then Pugh drove himself to the finish.After 18 minutes 50 seconds in the water, his body was not even hypothermic(体温过低的).
