On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New Yo
18、rk a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These “Polar Bears” are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3, and the water temperature was a little higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, Ne
19、w 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
20、from November through February.Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the bodys temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart at

They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good
22、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
23、 (or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim all year round. They find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. “When I go into water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away.”1、The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the

27、lly for those students who had second thoughts about their chosen major and intended career pathor those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! Although your major, coursework, and academic performance are relevant to landing
28、a job, they are not the only deciding factors on where you can work. So, just how important is your major to your job search? Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields. For example, if you wish to become a teacher, you will likely have needed to complete an education program and eventu
29、ally sit for a licensing exam. The same applies to majors in nursing. If you did not complete an accredited nursing program, you wont be able to take the nursing licensure exam. In these cases, successfully completing a specific major is crucial to landing a job in the matching field.Other majors, h
30、owever, are closely related to career paths but dont necessarily require a degree in the area. For example, students who majored in finance, math, or statistics may also have the necessary skills to be hired as an accountant. Although social work majors are most prepared to provide case management s
31、ervices to struggling populations, students who majored in psychology or sociology can be just as qualified. Lastly, there are many industries, such as professional sales, education (non-teaching positions), insurance, and customer service management, which hire new graduates from several more major
32、s, looking for more generalized requirements. They may simply want to know the student has completed his or her bachelors degree, which demonstrates college-level math and writing, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.Hopefully, as a college student, you were able to do more than just atten
33、d classes. Your non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well. Did you work during college, volunteer, or participate in a club or organization? If so, and if you enjoyed these activities, seek out related careers. If you volunteered with a non-profit organization su
34、ch as a homeless or domestic violence shelter, seek out positions in social services related to case management or victim advocacy(辩护). You may qualify for a position regardless of your major.Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isnt the case.
35、It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well. If you dont know what career options to consider based on your major, talk to your faculty or academic advisor. You may be surprised at what opportunities await!1、To be a customer service manager, college gr

While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Press
39、ure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason is that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate and increase your blood pressure. Thus, you shouldnt have your legs crossed for more t
40、han 15 minutes, and its important that you get up and walk around at least once every hour.Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, its best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat on the floor. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position,
41、 which can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.You also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get painful. This is because when one leg sits on top of the other, it causes pressure on the veins and nerves in your legs and
42、feet. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help your posture and
43、stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.1、A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring showed that .Acrossing your legs can raise your blood pressureBcrossing one leg over the other can increase the blood circulationCyou should have your legs crossed once every hourDyou should
