　　Ice dancing developed from ballroom dancing, particularly the waltz, and was very popular in the early 1900s．It requires well-trained, exact footwork; conformity(协调)with one another’s steps; and a keen sense of timing and rhythm．Ice dancing differs from pairs skating in that ice dancers are restricted(限制)to lifts no higher than the man’s shoulders and there are no jumps．One skate must be on the ice at all times．

　　Ice dancing competitions are made up of three principal parts：compulsories, original dance, and free dance．In compulsories, partners must perform two dances selected by the ISU, for example, waltz, tango, or polka．Compulsories involve set patterns in which dancers perform and repeat steps at certain points around the arena(竞技场)．Although the steps are predetermined, dancers are encouraged to interpret(display)them for artistic charming．Each compulsory dance counts for 15 percent of a pair’s final score．

　　The original dance, formerly known as the original set pattern dance, requires skaters to design their own performance to their choice of music, set to a speed and rhythm previously announced by the ISU．It counts for 35 percent of the final score, and skaters receive marks for composition and presentation．In the free dance, the partners perform a dance to music of their choice．They are given marks for presentation and style as well as for technical value．This dance counts for 50 percent of the final score．

　　Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world's first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.

　　In two weeks' time Bersqvist's ice creation (作品) will be nothing more than a pool of water. “We don't see it as a big problem,” he says. “We just look forward to replacing it.”

　　Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,” he says.

　　After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing (轻松的) hotel break. “It's great fun,” Bergqvist explains, “as well as a good start in survival training.”

　　The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. “You can get a lot of people in.” Explains Bergqvist. “The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time.”

[　　]

A．he believed people would enjoy trying something new

B．he wanted to make a name for the small town

C．an art exhibition was about to open

D．more hotel rooms were needed

2．When the writer says “the fun will be over,” he refers to the facts that ________.

[　　]

A．hotel guests will be frightened at the thought of the hard best

B．Bergqvist's hotel will soon become a pool of water

C．holidaymakers will soon get tried of the big igloo

D．a bigger igloo will replace the present one

3．According to the text, the first thing to do in building an igloo is ________.

[　　]

A．to gather a pool of water

B．to prepare a wooden base

C．to cover the ground with ice

　　When she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog. Her body was numb(麻木的). She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours. Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. Now, at age 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast.

　　On that fourth of July morning in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so thick that she could hardly see her support boats. Sharks swam toward her lone figure, only to be driven away by rifle shots. Against the frigid grip of the sea, she struggled on--hour after hour-while millions watched on national television.

　　Alongside Florence in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasn't much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to give up．She never had…, until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out.

　　Still thawing(使变暖和) her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter,“Look, I'm not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it.”It was not fatigue or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal.

　　Two months later, she tried again. This time, despite the same dense fog, she swam with her faith intact (完整无损的) and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it! Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel, eclipsing(超越) the men's record by two hours!

1．Why didn't Florence swim across the Catalina Channel for the first time?

[　　]

A．Because she was too tired to go on swimming.

B．Because the fog was so thick that she couldn't see her support boats clearly.

C．Because she couldn't see the goal on land.

D．Because the sea water was too cold.

2．What does the underlined sentence mean?

[　　]

A．She had never been so hopeless.

B．She had never thought of giving up.

C．She had never seen such a thick fog.

D．She had never swum across the Channel before.

3．Which of the following is NOT true?

[　　]

A．Florence Chadwick spent less time swimming across the Catalina Channel than men.

B．Florence Chadwick succeeded in swimming across the Catalina Channel in September, 1952.

C．People had to use guns to drive away some fresheating animals in the sea.

D．No women but Florence Chadwick were able to swim the English Channel in both directions.

　　The Chinese Antarctica expedition returned to Shanghai last Friday following a month living on the ice．It was the First time Chinese scientists had visited the Amery Ice Shelf?the longest ice shelf in the world．The team collected ice samples and data on temperatures, which are necessary for research on global warming．So far, about 27 countries have visited Antarctica for scientific research．Although the living conditions are very hard, many scientists have to stay there for long periods of time．So, how do they manage their lives on the ice?

　　Remember those highly charged first days? They were full of real-life tests where there was always something new to learn, and not always from a book．One of my first lessons occurred on my first day of kindergarten, when I got on the wrong bus－as my older sister still likes to remind me．

　　Life’s minor embarrassments do happen, and I know I can’t protect my own children from them．I just try to teach them to laugh at theirs like I do at mine．

　　My daughter Erin started on the wrong foot in the 1st grade, at a new school where she knew no one．All the other 1st graders couldn’t resist opening and closing, closing and opening their new desks．Wouldn't you know Erin would neither open nor close? She came to find out she was sitting on the wrong side!

　　Even getting around in a new school can be a challenge．Erin's older sister, Molly, almost missed her first lunch in junior high．The school secretary came to her rescue, arming her with the knowledge that while the gym and flex space were next door to each other, lunch was served only in the latter．

　　The first day sometimes has pitfalls for Mom and Dad, too．Once, I managed to stockpile(储备)Molly and Erin's school supplies as they went on sale the previous year．I thought everything was ready for the first day－oh, yeah! My victory dance was short-lived, however．After day one myladies rushed off the bus, both worried and confused, saying “Mom, we need wide-rule not college-rule paper, and three 2-inch notebooks instead of two 3-inch ones! And for standardized testing, standardized No．2 pencils only, please．”

　　Perhaps my favorite first-day memory happened the first time my two daughters went to full-day public school together, when I was understandably emotional．Erin noticed my red eyes and white smile．“You are happy and sad, huh, Mommy?” Such a sensitive girl! She added, “Just like the time when you were crying and laughing after the car stopped running on the ice and we were OK．” Well, at least I could laugh!
