29、tant for you to know when you take tests. You must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say. Taking good notes is a three-stage process in which there are certain things you should do before class, during class, and after class. Here are the three stages of note-taking and what

30、 you should do during each stage.1. Get Ready to Take Notes (Before Class)Review your notes from the previous class session before you come to class.

32、acher is saying. Pay attention to “signal statements”.

37、to a zoo? 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 winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3, and the water temperature was a little

38、 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

39、Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Doctors 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. Oth

40、er 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

41、say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循環(huán)系統(tǒng)）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

42、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."64.

43、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 monthsB. they must reach the age of 60C. they should be easy to make friends withD. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February65.

46、 Bear Club B. a group of cold-water-swimming livers C. the Polar Bears' life in New York D. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimmingDDont be surprised when strangers talk to you in Canada! You will find that many Canadians smile at you as they pass in the street, or say something to you like

47、 “Hi!” or “Hows it going?” Just reply with something similar. In the UK the reply would be “Im fine”, but in Canada they say “Im good”.In company, when someone is offering you a second helping of food or more wine, if you dont want any more, use the same expression “Im good”. In this case, it means

48、“No, thank you. Ive had enough”. Most Canadians don't press you to eat more than you want.In restaurant, your plate will be cleared away almost immediately you have finished eating. When you go into a shop or store, the shop assistant asks you how you are or if they can help you, it is their way

49、 of being friendly and making conversation with the customers.Canadians eat early and go home early. When you are invited to a Canadians home, you may be asked to arrive at 5:30 pm or 6 pm. But guests in Europe dont expect to arrive until 7:30 pm or 8 pm. Remember to take off your shoes and leave th

50、em inside the door without being asked. Its not a religious custom, but its practical. In winter, there can be a lot of snow and dirt on your shoes, once you are in the warm house it melts and falls off, making a mess. Canadians tend to have light colored carpets or hardwood floors.If youre invited
