In America,Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort:brilliant beaches,a lively boardwalk,plenty of restaurants and nightspots,and amusement rides sure to appeal to kids.Many believe Virginia Beach is at its best in the off-season,when the town is less crowded but the weather is still mild.
Meanwhile,some safety tips should be followed,enjoying the happiness and excitement the beach offers.
The number l safety tip concerns ocean safety:pay attention to Flag conditions posted on the lifeguard stands.Lifeguards post a red flag to warn when the ocean water is dangerous.Take them seriously! Tourists from land-locked regions are particularly easily attracted by the magic of the waves.However,a calm ocean can become risky without warning.Make sure you swim near a lifeguard.Swimming without lifeguard protection is almost five times as great as drowning at a beach with lifeguards.
Never swim alone.Many drownings involve single swimmers.When you swim with someone else,if one of you has a problem,the other may be able to get help,including signaling for assistance from others.
Don't fight the current.The facts show that some 80% of rescues by lifeguards at ocean beaches are caused by currents.These currents are formed by surf and gravity,because once surf pushes water up the slope of a beach,gravity pulls it back.This can create concentrated rivers of water moving offshore.If you are caught in a rip current,don't fight it by trying to swim directly to shore.Instead,swim parallel to shore until you feel the current relax,then swim to shore.Most rip currents are narrow and a short swim parallel to shore will help bring you to safety.
小题1:When coming to Virginia Beach,children can enjoy the happiness of the following except       .
A.walking on the road made of woodB.joining the nightspots
C.having interesting rides D.skiing in the sea
小题2:Many people believe the best time to visit Virginia Beach may be     .
A.after autumn school term beginningB.in the slimmer vacation
C.during the Christmas holiday D.in the cold winter
小题3:Swimming in the sea you'd better not swim     .
A.with a friendB.within the sight of the lifeguard
C.with the current D.as far as you like
小题4:From the passage,we can know     .
A.one in five persons swimming in the sea is drowned
B.if one with lifeguard were drowning,five persons without lifeguard would be
C.some 80%people drowning by the currents are rescued by lifeguards
D.some 20%drowning by the currents are rescued by life guards
小题5:The passage mainly tells us      .
A.some safety tips when swimming in the sea
B.the happiness and excitement the beach offers
C.Virginia Beach has all the elements of a classic seaside resort
D.the dangers for tourists from land-locked regions to swim in the sea

After their 15-year-old dog Bailey died in 2007, Ron and his wife, Ann, looked for months to find the right new pet. “I love dogs,” says Ron, a worker at a health club in Waukesha, Wisconsin. “I can’t imagine not having one.”
Finally, the couple spotted a young dog at the Humane Society in Milwaukee. His name was Oscar. “He was very attractive,” says Ron, 65. Oscar quickly made himself at home, sleeping on his new owners’ bed at night.
A diabetic(糖尿病人) for 25 years, Ron faithfully took his medicine four times a day and generally had no problems. But on March 17, at about 3 a.m., he got out of bed to use the bathroom. Suddenly, he fell down to the floor. “I must have taken the wrong amount of medicine before I went to sleep, because my blood sugar was dangerously low,” he says.
“Normally, Oscar is very quiet and well-behaved,” says Ron. “But when I hit the floor, he let out sounds like a wild animal.”
“Honestly, it sounded like the dog from hell,” says Ann, who was awakened by the sound.” I didn’t know what the sound was. Then I saw my husband lying on the bathroom floor. He was cold.” She ran for the phone and called an ambulance.
Ron spent several hours in the hospital. By 6:30a.m., he was well enough to go home. “You would never suspect Oscar of any heroism.” says his grateful owner. “He’s a wonderful little guy. We are lucky enough to own him.”
Even before Oscar’s heroic action, the couple had given their pet a new nickname(昵称). “We felt the name Oscar wasn’t good enough,” says Ron, “so sometimes we call him Eduardo”—more suitable, they think, for their dog.
小题1:What was Ann doing when Ron went to the bathroom?
A.She was sleeping.
B.She was watching TV.
C.She was taking care of Oscar.
D.She was talking with someone on the phone.

小题3:Which of the following is TRUE?
  1. Oscar was 15 years old when he was found.
  2. The sound of Oscar was usually like a wild animal.
  3. Ron got diabetes when he was 40 years old.

When movie star Scarlett Johansson was photographed naming in Los Angeles recently, she attracted a lot of attention; for the 27-year-old actress was wearing Vibram FiveFingers, so called because they look more like gloves than shoes, with a space for each toe.
Strange though they may look, these so-called barefoot shoes, which reproduce the effect of barefoot running but with less pain, are just one brand in a range of minimalist footwear. These super-thin sports shoes are causing a stir in the world of running and fitness. Why? Because some experts believe they could make you a better, more efficient runner and that traditional trainers could be doing you more harm than good.
"Wearing a shoe that has lots of cushioning and support affects the way your body naturally moves and studies suggest that this carries a higher risk of injury," explains Matt Wallden, an athlete performance expert. "But with barefoot shoes, the foot can actually feel the firmness and shape of the ground, which allows your body to respond effectively.’"
But before you rush out to invest in minimalist footwear, be careful. These kinds of shoes are not meant for everyone, or at least not straight away.
"Ordinary sports shoes with support are good for beginners whose bodies are not used to the impact of running," explains Patrick Davoren, former Olympic athlete. "It you are not in great condition, then running in minimalist footwear may cause injuries and will turn a lot of people off exercise and running.
If you are currently injured, and figures show that in any given year 65% of all runners are, it can be tempting to try anything that promises to get you back on the road, trail, or beach. But barefoot running is not a method of treating injury nor is it a magical way of suddenly turning you into a great athlete.
Even if you’re used to running, when you start using minimalist shoes you should build up your distance gradually. Start_off’by doing just 10% of what you’d normally run and increase the distance by no more than 10% every week. And a word of warning - you may never have soft feet again
小题1:The Vibram FiveFingers are shoes ______.
A.specifically designed for women
B.that have lots of cushion inside
C.safest for people who enjoy sports
D.that are much thinner than normal sports shoes
小题2:The underlined word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A.expertsB.feetC.shoesD.runners
小题3:According to Matt Wallden, the new shoes ________.
A.make feet more sensitive to the running surface
B.will produce immediate improvements
C.force your body to move less naturally
D.increase the chances of getting hurt
小题4:The author suggests that new users of Vibram FiveFingers should ________.
A.run in the shoes every day at top speed
B.begin with a shorter running distance than normal
C.occasionally run barefooted to harden their feet
D.make sure they are already very fit before using them
小题5:Where would you probably read this article?
A.A travel book.B.A movie website.
C.A sports magazine.D.A science journal.
