Many swimming lovers in the north of the country celebrated it on January 1st.Winter swimming is a physical training. During it, you can have a cold wind bath, an icy water bath and asunbath at the same time in the open air of winter.When you have taken off clothes, all parts of your body are awakened by the cold. You may feel like going into the water, but a warm-up exercise is a must before jumping into the freezing water.You go into the cold water and swim. The only thing you think about in the cold water is how to withstand （承受住）the cold. At this moment, your brain is relaxed and at rest. Then you come out just when your hands and feet are beginning to feel freezing.After you get dried, your pink-colored skin is bathed in the winter sunshine. Slowly, you no longer feel cold. After the “three baths” of air, water and sun, you will feel warm, relaxed and comfortable.Winter swimming is a way to keep fit.

So it’s necessary for you to know what you can talk about with the local people in other countries.In FranceYou’ll find that conversations often turn into heated discussions. You’d better give opinions only on subjects that you are knowledgeable about. There is seldom a moment of silence, except when the topic under discussion has been finished, and nothing new has been introduced.Food, art, music and current events or history are welcome topics. The French believe in freedom, and you can criticize（批评）anyone, but not Napoleon, who stands for the French spirit. Moreover, never use the conversation opener “What do you do?”In AustraliaGenerally speaking, the Australians are excited about discussions. Many topics may be open to discussion, including religion and politics. The best way, however, is to wait for Australians to bring up these two subjects; be prepared to listen to what they are talking about.The Australians like to criticize themselves, but they can’t stand being criticized by others. Don’t talk big.Instead, the Australians prefer to judge（判断）your abilities through your actions. People who show off their education in conversation may be laughed at.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss may seem cold. Once you get close to them, however, you’ll find that they are honest, responsible people, who will respect your interests much.They are good listeners and will remember almost everything you say to them. Sometimes they will even take notes while you speak. The Swiss are a very private people, so you should avoid asking personal questions. They can be rather serious, so it is advisable to avoid playing jokes on them.53.

The writer wants to tell us ______.A. what to introduce to foreignersB. how to live in foreign countriesC. how to get along with foreignersD. what to talk about in foreign countriesDMuch has been said and written recently about heroes, mainly because many people think we have too few of them. There are many different kinds of heroes, but they all seem to have two things in common. First, heroes, by their actions, show the great possibilities of human nature. Second, heroes can also stand the test of time, and their achievements will not be easily forgotten. Because of these good points, we need to choose our heroes carefully.Olympic sportstar Jackie Joyner-Kersee, who is believed to be a hero, warns young people to be careful of making athletes heroes. She hopes that if someone tries to copy her, it will be because she has achieved her goals by working hard. Joyner-Kersee says that a hero should be someone who has an influence on another person’s life.Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well and to be concerned about the greater good. A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time. A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions that improve the world, even if only in small ways.Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that, “Celebrities are people who make news, but heroes are people whomake history.” Thus, if a person is truly worthy to be called a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten.We all need heroes. We need to be able to respect people who have been there, done that, and succeeded. Many times the greatest heroes are the people we deal with every day — relatives（亲戚）, friends, and neighbours — who will keep going when it is easier to give up. The parent who puts her or his family ahead of herself or himself, the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help others — all these people can be considered as heroes. A hero quietly and continuously sets a good example, an example that inspires others tofollow.56.
