     [1] The other day I received an email from an old roommate. She congratulated me on  my new basketball coaching job. After the congratulations, her next words were: I know you can’t keep still.

           [2] My roommate knows me well. We lived together for two years. She saw me working two jobs, one full-time and one part-time and besides that, I coached a girl basketball team in the winter. I rarely had free time. When she said, “ I know you can’t keep still”, she was telling the truth.

           [3] For years, I liked being busy. In college, I ________ studying, sports, and clubs. I graduated from college four years ago. During most of those years, I held at least two jobs at the same time. Even if I was on a break with one job, I filled my time up with whatever I could.

           [4] Our culture teaches us that being busy means happiness. We are socialized (社会化) to believe that filling our days keeps us content. However, being busy has bad results. Being busy allows us to escape our lives and ignore our problems. We never have the opportunity to face our fears or examine the desires of our hearts. We never learn the joy and peace of free time to just be alive.

       [5] A year ago, I decided to make some complete changes in my life. I wasn’t content and the culture of business was upsetting me. I wanted a simple life. I wanted a life where I had free time to enjoy the world around me.

    [6] I changed my lifestyle. I moved. I got a new job. I lived a simple life. However, when my roommate sent me that email, she reminded me I still haven’t quite broken free of my old habits. I still need to work on being still and breaking free from the culture of business.

    87.  Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (no more than 6 words)

    88. Explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6.

    89.  What can we know about our culture from the text? ( no more than 8 words)

    90.  What does keeping busy may lead to besides escaping our lives?(no more than 8 words)

    86. She was busy with many jobs.

    87. filled my days with/was busy with

    88. She will try her best to live a life that he can have free time and enjoy the world around her.

    When did you last see a polar bear?On a trip to a zoo,perhaps?If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago,you would have seen a whole polar bear club.These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water.That day,the air temperature was 3℃,and the water temperature was a little higher.The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island,New York are usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements.First,they must get along well with everyone else in the group;this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club.Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February. 

    Dcotors don't agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.Other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter. 

    The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming. 

    The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental.The Polar Bears love to swim all year round;they find it fun and relaxing.As one 70-year-old woman says,"When I go into water,I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away." 

    1.The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_____. 

    A．they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months

    B．they must reach the age of 60

    C．they should be easy to make friends with

    D．they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February

    2.According to the passage,some doctors believe it is true that_____. 

    A．Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water

    B．cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high

    C．you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue

    D．cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter

    3.The Polar Bears like to swim year-round,for_____. 

    A．it is an easy way ot keep the body warm in winter

    B．they can remain young

    C．they find it enjoyable and interesting

    D．they might meet fewer troubles in life

    4.The passage is mainly about_____. 

    A．the requirements of the Polar Bear Club

    B．a group of cold-water-swimming livers

    C．the Polar Bears' life in New York

    D．doctors' ideas about cold-water swimming
