Ever had a cold shower ? Did you enjoy it? Now imagine jumping into a freezing cold lake in the middle of winter.Does that sound crazy? Well,thousands of people all around the world do just that,and it’s called winter swimmin9.

36
the population has tried it at least once.In fact,in Finland they take things to the next level—ice swimming.This includes cutting a hole in a frozen sea or lake and diving fight in.
S0,why do people do it? Winter swimmers aren’t short of reasons.They say swimming in very cold water can help fight stress,and even give you smoother skin.One website claims(主张)winter swimmers are sixty times less likely to catch a cold.
But scientists aren’t so sure.While they agree coldwater swimming relieves(缓解)aches and pains and can reduce stress,they’re doubtful of any long—term health benefits.Finnish scientist Juhani Smolader says,“Winter swimming doesn’t cure disease,but it can relieve the symptoms(症状).”
Winter swimming can even be dangerous.When the cold water hits the skin,the body has what's called a “cold shock response”.If the person isn’t used to the cold water。this could cause a heart attack.Als0,winter swimmers can only stay in the water for fifteen minutes at most.So,often,ice swimmers tie themselves to the surface(表面)So they know where the ice hole is.

Should teenagers use Internet Slang?
At present,Internet Slang,such as“Geili,Kengdie”,has become popular among the teenagers.There are different opinions about Internet Slang.Some students think Internet Slang is lively and fashionable.It's full of humor and wisdom.And it makes chatting on the Internet more convenient.
However,some other students think Internet Slang isn’t polite enough.And sometimes it's hard to understand.People may misunderstand the Internet Slang when it is used too much.
Every coin has two sides.In my opinion,living in the Information Age,we can use Internet Slang to express our thoughts.And it will be OK as long as we use the words correctly in proper situations.

What's sweat ? Your body works best when its temperature is about 37。Celsius.When your body gets hotter than that,your brain doesn’t like it—it wants your body to stay cool·So the part of your brain that controls temperature,called the hypothalamus,sends a message to your body,telling it to sweat.
Then special glands in your skin called sweat glands start making sweat.Sweat is made almost completely of water,with small amounts of other chemicals like salts,and sugar etc.
The sweat leaves your skin through tiny holes called pores.When the sweat hits the air,the air makes it disappear.As the sweat disappear off your skin,you cool down.
Sweat is a great cooling system,but if you’re sweating a lot on a hot day,you could be losing too much water.Then you need to put liquid back in your body by drinking plenty of water SO that you won’t get sick.
Why does sweat smell ? Sweat by itself doesn’t smell at all.It's the germs(细菌)that live on your skin that mix with the sweat and give it a stinky(臭的)smell.

A businessman had two sons.He gave the younger son a lot of love and gifts,while he didn’t give the elder son much.It was completely puzzling and no one knew why.
When the boys grew up,they were asked to manage the father's business.The elder son was busy with the business all day.From morning till late in the evening,he was busy working.Within a few years,he ran the business very well and even expanded it.
What about the younger son ? He didn’t have much to do but have a good time.But the father believed that his favorite son would be a success. If the elder son could be a successful business man,surely the younger one,with a higher education.would do much better.
A few years later,the results of his decision became clear. Uninterested in business, younger son continued spending his time enjoying himself.And he went out of business.But the elder son’s smaller share of business had become larger and he had proved himself to be a very Successful businessman.
Ashamed at the turn of events,the father met the elder son and was angry with the younger one.The elder son,who was listening to all this quietly,suddenly said he wanted to set up his own business and live by himself.
“Why?”asked the father.
“I blame(责备)one person for the way my brother has turned out.and it's not him.You can’t blame children for the
36
mistakes of their parents,can you?”asked the elder son.

Here is the result of a survey on how students spend their weekends.
Most of the students don’t spend much time on their study.Instead,they prefer to surf the In.Internet watch TV,go shopping rather than do some sports.They hardly go to the library.But lots of students may choose to take after school classes.
In my opinion.students have more free time.But they don’t use it correctly.They spend too much time On the Internet and TV.They should take 80me exercise to build a strong body.Reading books is a good way to improve themselves.They are supposed to go to the library more often.
In a word,students should make a good plan to use their weekends.
