1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或者中文。

       Swimming is really popular in summer. Is it still popular in cold winter? Yes, it is in Russia. When we put on our warm clothes, 1 people in Russia are ready to swim in the icy water. Russian people like winter swimming.

       Winter swimming is a part of the Russian festival Epiphany (显现节). 2 它在一月份来临。 It is the coldest month in Russia. The temperature can be 10 degrees below zero! People dig holes in ice-covered rivers. Then, they jump in the holes and swim in the cold water. Russian people believe the water is holy. It can bring health to their bodies and clean their souls. People of all ages join winter swimming, including little kids. 3 Parents think this can help kids get stronger. Before they jump in the icy water on that day, 4 the swimmers need to do a lot of preparations. Some people may start to take daily cold showers a few weeks before that. That helps them get used to the icy water. Some people eat a lot of fatty food to store energy, so they won’t freeze out (冻坏) in the icy water.

       5在俄罗斯，冬天很长. In this country, a city called Oymyakon is the coldest place in the country. Its winter temperature sometimes reaches 70 degrees below zero! Everything there can freeze when it is in the open air, such as people’s eyelashes (睫毛)!

21、When he was nine years old, the American boy Milo Cress had a question: How many plastic straws（吸管） do Americans use every day?

He quickly learned there wasn’t a simple answer. The boy tried to work it out himself. Through lots of research（调查）Cress found out that Americans use about 500 million straws every day. In hopes of reducing plastic waste, he founded（建立）the Be Straw Free project in 2011.

Cress started the project in his hometown—Burlington, Vermont. He asked a local restaurant to stop offering straws with every drink order. It was a simple change. However, it would save money. And by doing that, the restaurant would cut down on its straw use by 50 percent.

For the years that followed, Cress tried to spread（传播） his project across the United States. More and more restaurants agreed to join. They stop providing the customer（顾客） with a straw unless he or she asks for one. Last April, Seattle became the first American city to completely ban（禁 止） plastic straws.

Plastic pollution has been one of the most serious problems today. According to scientists, more than eight million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year. Plastic straws are especially terrible. They make it easy for people to get comfortable with single-use plastics.

After his project became popular, Cress took his findings on the road. He has spoken to tens of thousands of students around the world. He wants to encourage more people to say no to plastic straws.

“Focusing（聚焦） on straws is one simple step we all could take,” Cress says. “And it makes me feel that I, as a kid, could make a difference, too.”
