　　His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness.They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears,of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.

　　Indeed,his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test see for myself.My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o’clock classes.

　　Upon arriving at the university that day,I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office.He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall,he only smiled when we reached a classroom door I told him to enter alone look around.

　　He stepped in,remained no more than thirty seconds then came out.”Tell me what you see.”I said as I took his place in the room,leaving him in the hall with his back to the door.Without the least hesitation without a single error,he gave the number of seats in the room,pointed out those which were taken by boys those occupied by girls,named the colors each student was wearing,pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard,spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor,pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window.

　　As I rejoined Wolfe,I was speechless with surprise.He,on the contrary,was wholly calm as he said,”The worst thing about it is that I’ll remember it all.”

　　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 winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3oC,the water temperature was a bit 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.

　　Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water 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 water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.

　　The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages)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 should not try cold-water swimming.

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

　　Doctors

　　Aencourage people to take part in cold-water swimming actively

　　Bpoint out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming

　　Cbelieve swimming is helpful both in winter in summer

　　Dhave different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming

　　参考答案：D
