Do we need to make swimming compulsory in schools? Forum readers share their opinions.WhiteBear (Poland)In Poland swimming lessons are not compulsory, but most of the schools have them. I think that when it is only possible - there should be the swimming lessons for kids. It is a lifesaving skill.MisterPanda (France)I come from France where swimming lessons in school are compulsory. I even got my lifesaving certificate (证书) in school.Jet.feng (China)As a boy born in a rural area, I learnt swimming in a river near my home when I was 7 or 8 years old. I just learnt how to dog paddle (breaststroke) because no one taught me. Until I entered university, I got a chance to improve my swimming skills in PE lessons. Compared with my classmates, I felt lucky because most of them couldnt swim. I think its a good idea for schools to teach students to swim.Boilermaker21 (Unknown)There are swimming lessons in my city, but I felt upset about how they were taught. The kids spent 45 minutes of the one hour lesson practicing strokes ON DRY LAND. They only spent 15 minutes in the water. All of the children panicked (惊恐) and sank immediately to the bottom. Then all of the parents scolded the children, telling them that they werent paying attention to the teacher and that they were failures.Cecilia Zhang (China)It is a pity that many Chinese athletes won world championships in swimming while most schools dont have the swimming facilities. Swimming is an essential lifesaving skill that everyone should access to. The earlier, the better. The government needs to put money into the popularity of the sport.21. What do we know about Jet.feng?A. He suggests children in China learning swimming in rivers.B. He had a good command of swimming skills when he was a child.C. He can swim as well as most of his classmates in university.D. He considers it necessary for schools to give swimming lessons.22. What does Boilermaker21 think of the swimming lessons in his city?A. Amazing.B. Disappointing.C. Impressive.D. Effective.23. Whats the best title for the text?A. Swimming is a lifesaving skill.B. How students in different countries learn swimming?C. Should swimming lessons be compulsory in schools?D. Countries show different attitudes towards swimming lessons.BIts been a rough year for priceless artifacts (工艺品) around the world. In September 2018, a fire wiped out about 90 percent of the collection at the National Museum of Brazil. In April 2019, Paris Notre Dame Cathedral lost its famous spire (尖塔) in another fire. Most recently, in October, Japans 500-year-old Shuri Castle was destroyed again, by fire.Its heartbreaking to see even one piece of human history to up in smoke, but there is no need to be depressed (沮丧的). The truth is that we have lost historic sites and artifacts throughout history, to wars and natural disasters. Many are rebuilt or repaired.Examples include the 18th-century Dresden Frauenkirche in Germany, which was destroyed during the World War II bombing and rebuilt in 2005. There is also the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, China, which dated back to AD 223. Its been destroyed by fires and wars and rebuilt as many as 11 times.So it will probably be no different for the National Museum of Brazil, Notre Dame Cathedral, or Shuri Castle. In fact, right after the fire at Notre Dame, French President Emmanuel Macron vowed ( 发 誓 ) that it would be rebuilt in five years. During his visit to China in November, it was decided that Chinese experts will participate in the restoration (修复) work.That said, however, there are less fortunate cultural relics - those endangered in Syria and Iraq where wars are ongoing. According to Artnet News, all six UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Syria have been reported damaged. And yet, somehow, they didnt get nearly as much attention as Notre Dame, and probably wont have a chance to be restored to their former glory any time soon.It might be true that many damaged artifacts make it back. But “many” is not “all”.24. What are the similarities among the three places mentioned in the first paragraph?a. They are all of great value.b. They were all destroyed in 2018.c. Nothing is left after the destruction.d. They are all destroyed by fire.A. a, bB. a, dC. a, cD. c, d25. Why does the writer mention Dresden Frauenkirche and the Yellow Crane Tower in Paragraph 3?A. To comfort the heartbreaking readers.B. To give examples of the rebuilt historic sites.C. To introduce two places of interest to the readers.D. To show the importance of rebuilding the historic sites.26. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?A. All the cultural relics are damaged in Syria due to the wars.B. People havent recognized the importance of the heritage sites in Syria.C. The cultural relics in Syria and Iraq are less fortunate because they are worse destroyed.D. Wars destroyed the heritage sites in Syria and prevent people from restoring them right now.27. What is the writers attitude towards the restoration work of Notre Dame?A. Favorable.B. Critical.C. Indifferent.D. Doubtful.COn March 25, 2010, Kate and David heard the words every parent fears: Their newborn wasnt going to make it.

Sure, a cup of coffee can be great for that, and studies have shown that midday naps (小憩) at work are good for your health, but whats even better than coffees or naps? 36 It sounds really unbelievable, because we all know caffeine disturbs your ability to sleep (thats the whole point). 37 If you strategically (策略地) time your coffee and your nap, you can be unconscious (无意识的) for those few minutes that the body spends digesting (消化) the coffee, says the video from Vox.And how long is that? It takes about 20 minutes for the coffee to reach your small intestine (肠), pass into your blood stream, and then make it to your brain.So if you can time your nap to be just 20 minutes from the moment youve had your coffee, you should wake up feeling pretty great. 38 The reason you were feeling bad in the first place is a molecule( 分 子 ) called adenosine (腺苷) in your brain thats responsible for making you feel tired. 39 its a by-product of brain activity, so at the end of the workday youre likely to experience a build-up of adenosine, which slows down your neurons and makes you feel tired.What caffeine does is stop the adenosine from combining with receptors in the brain. 40 “The great thing abou
