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.
To really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn, as soon as possible, these four basic strokes; 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.
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.

Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green-spaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way; this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspaces in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants (居民) are using these spaces.
The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate (不成比例的) attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas (但是)there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obivous that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory (强制性的) activities can also have a recreative aspect.
The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot of enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.
小题1: According to the author, the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment _______.
A.is still unknownB.is being closely studied
C.is usually neglectedD.has been fully recognized
小题2:The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to _______.
A.the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhood
B.all of the recreation facilities far from home
C.relatively little attention for recreative possibilities
D.the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighborhood
小题3:The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspaces should be provided _______.
A.in special areasB.in the suburbs
C.in the neighbourhood of the houseD.in gardens and parks
小题4: The author says “more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect” to _______.
A.suggest that obligatory activities don’t need to serious
B.show that recreation activities are very important
C.show how recreation activities have spread wildly
D.suggest how to offer recreation activities around home
小题5:Why would someone only feel himself at home according to the last paragraph?
A.One lives the very best standard of living.
B.There are too many distractions outside his home.
C.There are few recreations around his house.
D.One needs the street door of his house to be opened always.

Thousands of years ago, birthdays were considered special days. On birthdays, the bad spirits were able to harm you and change your life. It was believed that the only way to solve the problem was to have your friends and family around you, so that good wishes and presents would keep the bad spirits away. Also, noisemakers were thought to be used at parties as a way of scaring away the evil spirits.
The custom of lighting candles was created by people believing that the gods lived in the sky. By lighting candles and torches, they were sending a signal or prayer to the gods, so they could be answered. Blowing out the candles and making a wish were thought to be another way of sending a signal or a message.
This is how the way we celebrate our birthdays came about. But different cultures celebrate in different ways.
The birthday story in the Bible(圣经) that we know best is about the birth of the Christ in Bethlehem(地名:伯利恒). For nearly 2000 years since that day, the Christian world has been honoring this birth. The day many Englishmen celebrate is, of course, Christmas. There are other references to birthday parties. King Pharaoh celebrated his birthday by making a feast for his court followers. That was over 4000 years ago. The story of King Herod tells that on his birthday he made a supper for his lords, high captains and other special friends in Galilee (地名:加利利).
小题1: According to the passage, good wishes and presents given by one’s friends and family on his birthday can _____________________.
A.cheer him upB.prove that he’s a popular person

A.The custom of lighting candles originated with the gods.

Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes(基因)decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you"re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don"t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
No doubt(怀疑) you"re wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There"s no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you"re at now, how you"ve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.
Don"t be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt(高峰)during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later ——between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You"ll usually begin to notice that you"re growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.
小题1:If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, ____________.
A.you should have enough exerciseB.you can ask doctors for help
C.you should save the environmentD.You can record your growth during puberty
小题2: This passage is mainly about ____________.
A.how the genes work in your bodyB.when is the time you grow fast
C.why you look like your parentsD.how you grow to a certain height
小题3: After reading this passage, we can explain ___________.
A.how good it is to be a doctorB.how much sleep time we need
C.why genes can’t decide everythingD.what healthy diet is
小题4: Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Your height most probably depends on how high your parents are.
B.Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’.
C.The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed.
D.You may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.
