  The big Town Hall clock was striking midnight when Frank began to cross the bridge. The dark night air was cold and slightly wet, and the street lamp gave little light.

  Frank was anxious to get home and his footsteps rang loudly on the pavement(人行道). When he reached the middle of the bridge he thought he could hear someone coming near behind him. He looked back but could see no one. However, the sound continued and Frank began to walk more quickly. Then he slowed down again, feeling shame at having acted so foolishly. There was nothing to fear in a town as quiet as this.

  Just then, he heard short, quick steps closely behind him. By the time he reached the other side of the bridge, he could almost feel someone at his heels(脚后跟). He turned round and there stood a man in a large overcoat. A hat pulled down over his eyes and very little of his face could be seen. Frank said something about the weather, trying to sound friendly and calm. The man did not answer but asked rudely where Oakfield House was. Frank pointed to a big house in the distance and the stranger continued his way.

  Then Frank wondered why the stranger had wanted to find Oakfield House at such an hour.

  He knew that the people who lived there were very rich. Almost without realizing what he was doing, he began following the stranger quickly. Then the man was soon outside the house and Frank saw him look up at the window. A light was still on and the man waited until it went out. When about half an hour had passed, Frank saw him climb noiselessly over the wall and heard him drop on the ground at the other side.

  Now Frank realized what was going to happen. He walked quickly and silently across the street towards a telephone box on the comer.

  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”people meet frequently in the winter swam in freezing cold water.That day the air temperature was 3 degrees.And the water temperature was a little 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 don’t 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 beating.Other doctors, however, point out that there is a greater danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and the water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.

  The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.They say their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system 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 could not try cold-water swimming.

  The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental.The Polar Bears love to swim all the 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.”
