At a special swimming pool in Los Angeles, children become expert at holding their breath under water even before they can walk. Babies of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water. It is not long before they are so accustomed to swimming that they can pick up weights from the floor of the pool. A game that is very popular with these young swimmers is the underwater tricycle race. Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven feet under water. The children compete against each other to reach the other end of the pool. Many pedal their tricycles, but most of them prefer to push or drag them. Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up for breath even once. Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time will tell. Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us who cannot swim five yards before they are gasping for air.【課文翻譯】實驗證明，兒童在很小的時候就可以開始學(xué)習(xí)游泳。在洛杉磯的一個特設(shè)的游泳池里，孩子們甚至在還沒有學(xué)會走路時就已經(jīng)能熟練地在水下屏住呼吸了。兩個月的嬰兒并未顯得不愿意入水。他們很快便適應(yīng)了游泳，以致能撿起池底的物品。這些幼小的游泳運動員非常喜愛的一種游戲是水下三輪車比賽。三輪車并排放在7英尺深的游泳池底上。孩子們比賽看誰先到達(dá)游泳池的另一端。很多孩子用腳蹬車，但多數(shù)孩子更愿意推或是拉著三輪車。有些孩子能夠跑完游泳池的全長而不用露出水面換氣。他們將來是否能成為奧林匹克的冠軍，這只能由時間來作出回答。與此同時，他們對我們中的那些游不了5碼就已喘不過氣來的人應(yīng)該是種鼓舞。New words and expressions 生詞和短語instruct v. 指導(dǎo)，傳授 Los Angeles 洛杉磯reluctant adj. 勉強的，不愿意的 weight n. 重物underwater adj. 水下的 tricycle n. 三輪車compete v. 比賽，對抗 yard n. 碼gasp v. 喘氣【生詞講解】【單詞講解】1. instruct 1） v. 指導(dǎo)，傳授eg：Mr. White instructs us in math. 懷特先生教我們的數(shù)學(xué)2） v. 指令、訓(xùn)令instruct sb to do 命令，指導(dǎo)某人做某事eg：The teacher instructed the pupils to come into the gym. 老師命令學(xué)生到健身房去。instruct that （正式）通知eg：The company instructed him that he would be employed. 該公司通知他，他會被雇用。instruction n. 講授、教育、指導(dǎo)、命令、指示receive instruction in skiing 接受滑冰指導(dǎo)follow instructions give sb instructions 遵從指示instructive adj. 教育性的, 有啟發(fā)的, 有益的an instructive book 有教育意義的書instructor n. 教師、指導(dǎo)者2.Los Angeles 洛杉磯美國加利福尼亞洲 California 西南部的大城市（簡稱L.A） 在西班牙語中表示”天使們”之意3. reluctant adj. 勉強的，不愿意的（unwilling） a reluctant answer 勉強的答復(fù) a reluctant helper 不愿意幫忙be reluctant to do 不愿做某事eg：I am reluctant to work these days. 這段日子我不愿工作。reluctantly adv. 不情愿地、厭惡的（unwillingly ） 4. weight n. 重物、分量、重量eg：Whats the weight of this gold coin ？這金幣有多重？ It is 50 grams in weight .它重50克。eg：Youve put on weight , havent you ？你變胖了？eg：Youve lost weight , havent you ？你瘦了,對嗎?gross weight 毛重 ； net weight 凈重throw ones weight about throw ones weight around 大擺架子、作威作福weigh v. 秤重量 ，有.重eg：The man weighed the fish by hand. 他用手秤一秤魚有多重。eg：How much dose it weigh ？ 它有多重？5. underwater adj. 水下面的an underwater camera 水下照像機 under- 前綴1） 之下的underarm 腋下的 ； underground 地下的underline 在下滑線2） 不足夠的underage 未成年的 ； undernourished 營養(yǎng)不足的6. tricycle n. 三輪車 （trike） bicycle 自行車tri- 表 “三”triangle 三角形 ；trilateral adj.三者之間的、有三邊的 tricolor 三色旗bi- 表 “兩個” “兩次”biannual bainjul a.一年兩次的bicentenary baisentenil n.兩百周年紀(jì)念di 表 “二、雙、二重、二倍”（后語名詞結(jié)合）dicotyledonous adj. 雙子葉的7. compete v. 比賽，對抗eg：The two teams compete for the championship. 這兩支球隊爭奪冠軍eg：He is going to compete against his old rival in the second round.
