Module 5　The Great Sports Personality 有志未必年高，冠军可以年少。你见过多小的比赛冠军？ Future champions Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age.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(三轮车)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(骑车)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 grasping for air. 1．reluctant adj. 不情愿的；勉强的 2．accustomed adj. 习惯的 3．grasping adj. 一味攫取的 　阅读短文，并判断正误 1．Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at 6.(F) 2．Most of the children in the game prefer to pedal their tricycles.
