I started learning how to swim when I was five years old.I have been swimming ever since.There are many reasons why I love swimming, but I’ll just share a few with you. Maybe I can even encourage you to go for a swim.The first reason I love swimming is that I feel totally relaxed whenever I leave the pool. I love the feeling of floating on the water and feeling almost weightless.On the other hand, it can also be a competitive sport which raises your heartbeat. It’s amazing pushing yourself to the challenge of beating someone else to the finish line. It’s great fun racing across the pool as fast as you can！Another reason that I love swimming is that it has more styles than other sports such as running and walking. It doesn’t feel like you’re doing the same thing over and over again.In summer, swimming can be a nice, refreshing (恢复精力的) break! There’s nothing better than jumping into the water on a hot summer’s day. You can choose to swim in a swimming pool or in the sea.And finally, it’s a life skill which everyone should have. Not only is it good for your health, but you never know when you’ll need your ability to swim.14. In Paragraph 3, “floating” means “____________” in Chinese.A. 跳跃B. 漂浮C. 翻滚D. 日光浴15.

Here are some of their similarities.(1) Both language and music have a writing system.In English we record language using letters. Similarly, we use notes to record music. Just as you are reading letters and find meaning in them, musicians read notes and create meaning in the form of music. So just as you read English, you can read music. By writing pieces of text or music, we are able to share experiences through time. I can read the ideas or hear the works of someone who lived hundreds of years ago, which is really exciting.(2)__________________You can guess where someone is from by listening to the language they use. In the same way, styles of music are different around the world, giving us the chance to understand many different cultures. This also means that there is something for everyone! Even if you don’t like British pop music, you may love the energy of Latin American salsa music.(3) Both share feelings.How do you know that I am angry? Of course you can see it in my face, but you will know for sure through my words. Similarly, music can show you exactly how the composer (作曲者) was or is feeling. When I’m happy, I want to sing and dance to a happy song to celebrate my happiness; and I listen to slow and quiet music when I’m feeling down. I think we have all used music to express our feelings, often combining (结合) it with language in the form of song lyrics.18. Which of the following is the best for the blank?A.
