25、When did you last see a polar(极地的)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, air temperature was 3℃, and 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 and 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 and should not try cold-water swimming.
The main benefits(or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental(精神的). The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says,“When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away(漂走).”
【1】The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that __________.

27、
It makes our fingers look ugly. It’s dirty. It could hurt a lot. But many people just can’t stop doing it: biting their nails.
Up to 45 percent of teenagers in the UK bite their nails, the BBC reported. Some people bite a nail not because it’s too long, but because they are driving, feeling stressed out, or just have nothing else to do.
In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association identified nail biting as a symptom(症状) of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). People with this disorder may wash their hands too many times or have to line up their shoes in a certain way.
Although nail biting has some things in common with other symptoms of OCD, it is different from other OCD behaviors in at least one way.
“In OCD, the behavior is really unwanted,” said psychiatrist Carol Mathews. People with OCD don’t want to wash their hands over and over again. There is no fun in it. They just fear that if they aren’t busy doing something, something bad might happen to them.
But nail biters enjoy this activity. “It’s rewarding. When you get the right nail, it feels good,” said Mathews. Therefore some people argue that most nail biters do not have any kind of serious mental illness.
However, it’s still a bad habit. So what can we do to stop it? Since most people bite nails as a way of relieving (缓解) stress, finding another way to relieve that stress could be useful, suggested Rochelle Torgerson, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in the US. For example, some people might play with a pen instead.
Nail biters feel the urge (刺激,冲动) to bite if they find a small imperfect part of the nail, said Mathews. So always keep your nails in good shape.
【1】Which of the following behaviors is a symptom of OCD?
A.Washing your hands before each meal.
B.Cutting nails to make them short.
C.Lining things up in a certain way.
D.Keeping your nails in good shape.
【2】What does the writer try to tell us in Paragraphs 3—5?
A.The common behaviors people with OCD often show.
B.The difference between nail-biting and other OCD behaviors.
C.People with OCD enjoy doing things over and over again.
D.Nail-biters don’t have any kind of serious mental illness.
【3】Which suggestion for how to stop nail-biting is mentioned in the passage?
A.Biting your nails instead of playing with a pen.
B.Giving up nail-biting and work hard.
C.Keep your nails in good shape.
D.Find another way to release your stress.
【4】What is the best title of this passage?
A.How to stop biting nails.
B.Keep your nails in good shape.
C.The cause of nail biting.
D.Biting could be worrying.
