My family and I belonged to a country club located across the street from the Long Island Sound. Each summer, the big attraction for us was the pool. I learned how to swim and joined the swimming team but was never really a good swimmer. However, swimming in my younger days was a way to keep cool, and swimming on a team gave me identity and a sense of belonging. It also became invaluable many years later.
Fast-forward (快进) to 1973 — I was married, pregnant and had a home. What made our little
home even more wonderful was when I discovered that four blocks away was Rath Park Pool! For the next 30 years, most of our summer days were spent around that pool.
Each of my five kids took swimming lessons and learned all the different swimming strokes ( 姿 势 ). They later joined the swim team and competed in meets. My daughter even became a lifeguard at the town pool. I sat back and happily took it all in!
As much as I would have liked to have life stand still, it doesn't. My children outgrew their pool days and moved on. But the pool was still four blocks from my home, so I began to take up swimming again. And it was far better than I ever could have imagined. I got so much out of it that I joined the local pool so I could swim year-round. Whenever I swam, I would always come out feeling physically and mentally refreshed. I often felt that if I looked hard enough, I would be able to see all of the worries and problems I've had in life, sitting at the bottom of the pool!
What has swimming taught me I've learned that balance is the key to being a good swimmer. If you are balanced in the water, you have no resistance. Working on staying balanced made me realize the similarities between life in and out of the swim lane ( 泳 道 ). If you work on keeping yourself balanced, you will be able to swim right through the stress and problems life throws at you!

The Torch Festival (火把节) is a traditional festival which is celebrated among some ethnic groups in southwestern China, such as the Yi, Bai, Hani, Lisu, and Lahu, etc. It usually falls on the 24th or 25th of June, with three days of celebrations. The festival came from worship (崇拜) of fire by ancestors ( 祖 先 ). For some ethnic groups, it’s a tradition in the festival for elders to share farming experience with young people and educate them about taking care of crops.
During the festival, big torches are made to stand in all villages, with small torches placed in front of the door of each house. When night falls, the torches are lit and the villages are bright. At the same time, people walk around the fields and houses, holding small torches and placing the torches in the field corners. Inside the villages, young people are singing and dancing around the big torches that keep burning throughout the night. Other activities like horse races are also held during the festival.
In a horse race of the Yi people in Yunnan, torches are used to form hurdles for riders to get through. The Hani people in Yunnan traditionally tie fruits to torches with strings. When the strings are broken after the torches are lit, people struggle for the fruits for good luck.
For the Lisu people in Sichuan, the festival is an occasion for holding torch parades. Big torches are carried by teams of people, which is like a fire dragon. If different teams meet, it’s a tradition to exchange the big torches with one another.
What can we know about the Torch Festival from the first paragraph
A. It is a festival to show worship of fire. B. Its celebrations usually last two days.
C. It is a traditional festival of all China. D. It has nothing to do with farming.
What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A. Why the festival is enjoyed. B. How the festival is celebrated.
C. What torches are used for the festival. D. Where the festival is celebrated.
Which of the description is INCORRECT
Small torches are put in front of the door.
Big torches are burnt all day and all night.
Yi people use torches to form hurdles to get through.
Young people like singing and dancing around the big torches.
Which is a way that Lisu people in Sichuan celebrate the festival according to the text
A. Struggling for fruits for good luck. B. Tying fruits to torches with strings.
C. Holding torch parades. D. Using torches as hurdles for a horse race.

If you are a fruit grower — or would like to become one — take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly( 多 疙 瘩 的 ) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.
What can people do at the apple events
A. Visit fruit-loving families. B. Attend experts’ lectures.
C. Taste many kinds of apples. D. Plant fruit trees in an orchard.
What can we learn about Decio
A. It has a special taste. B. It is rarely seen now.
C. It has a strange look. D. It is a new variety.
What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. A brilliant plan. B. A selfish desire.
C. A practical idea. D. A daydream.
What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To promote apple research. B. To help people select apples.
C. To introduce an apple festival. D. To show how to grow apples.
