12、23Where is the passage most probably taken from?AA dinner menu.BA research report.CA fashion magazine.DAn advice brochure.Open water swimmingI had only swum in open water a few times, and always in gentle lakes, so I wasnt prepared for how rough Lake Windermere appeared on a cold day. A swimmer told
13、 me the water felt colder than it had been measured, and that the water was a bit rough. But I, along with 10,000 others, was about to complete the challenge.Most of the people taking part were doing a one-mile race, and 10 races were planned over the weekend. There seemed to be a mix of open-water
14、enthusiasts alongside complete beginnerswhich is precisely the aim of the swims, to get as many people as possible completing their own challenge. The oldest woman competing was 77, taking part in the two-mile race, alongside a man who last year had swum in every one-mile race.I had chosen the third
15、 one-mile race of the day. There were over 600 people in my race. We were taken through an acclimatization area, a childrens paddling pool-sized part of the lake where we moved in to feel how cold the water was. “Not too bad” was everyones thought! Then we headed out towards the middle of the lake.W
16、ed been warned that the first 100 metres would be really rough. However, somewhere near the 750m mark I was still waiting for the calm; it felt more like swimming in the sea than a lake. I tried to focus on my breathing and technique, and just keep going. As I approached the 400m-to-go mark my lower
17、 right leg became painful. I recalled overhearing people talking about how they kept swimming through the pain, so I tried. But it didnt work. I began to feel the entire leg tight and painful. I didnt want to stop, so I bent my right knee and just kicked with the left leg.Finally I saw the finishing
18、 post, and I just concentrated on getting therestill one-legged. My finishing time was 38 minutes 25 seconds but that didnt matterthe atmosphere was fantastic and everyone felt a sense of achievement, whatever their time. Im hooked, and want to give it another go. Ive already signed up for my next o

22、inish.The Alexander techniqueUntil earlier this year, I didnt know anything about the Alexander techniqueand saw no reason to think I should. One day, the backache I regularly suffered was more painful. I was brought up to think that the preferred way of dealing with aches is to do nothing and hope
23、theyll go away, but I eventually went to the doctor. After examining me, he said, “You actually have bad posture (姿势). Go off and learn the Alexander technique.” Three months later I could walk straighter and sit better.The Alexander technique is a way of learning how you can get rid of harmful tens
24、ion in your body. The teaching focuses on the neck, head and back. It trains you to use your body less severely and carry out the movements that we do all the time with less effort. There is little effort in the lessons themselves, which sets apart the Alexander technique from yoga or pilates, which
25、 are exercise-based. A typical lesson involves standing in front of a chair and learning to sit and stand with minimum effort. You spend some time lying on a bench with your knees bent to straighten the spine (脊椎) and relax your body while the teacher moves your arms and legs to train you to move th
26、em correctly.The technique helps to break the bad habits accumulated over years. Try folding your arms the opposite way to normal. This is an example of a habit the body has formed which can be hard to break. Many of us carry our heads too far back. The head weighs four to six kilos, so any inapprop
27、riate posture can cause problems for the body. The technique teaches you to let go of the muscles holding the head back, allowing it to go back to its natural place on the top of our spines.So who was Alexander and how did he come up with the technique? Frederick Alexander, an Australian actor born
28、in 1869, found in his youth that he had vocal (声音的) problems during performances. He analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellent results. He brought his technique to London and opened a teacher-training school, which is still successful today.So if yo

30、echnique.CShe was sceptical about the doctors method.DShe was unwilling to seek treatment for her backache.29What is the principle of the Alexander technique?APhysical tension shouldnt be completely relieved.BThe technique shouldnt be combined with other exercises.CThe practice of the technique shou
31、ldnt be attempted alone.DFamiliar physical actions shouldnt be done with much effort.30What can we learn about Frederick Alexander?AHe managed to recover his vocal powers.BHe was eager to make a name for himself.CHe developed a form of exercise for actors.DHe had to leave home to develop his technique.31What is the main idea of the passage?AThe occurrence of back pain is wides
