BREAKING THE ICE
Michael Sharp visits an outdoor pool.

It's just before 7 a.m. and I'm at an outdoor swimming pool in London, where the temperature
the water is only 11 degrees above freezing! Amazingly, there are already eight people
swimming.

I had intended to discover, by taking a swim myself, why anyone would want to swim in such
cold water. However, in the end, I decided to ask people instead. Peter Smith has been a
swimmer here for three years, coming every morning before work. "It's wonderful on a cold winter
morning", he says, "I thought it would make me healthier and haven't been ill once since I
started".

All the swimmers here say the same thing. They all feel fitter. However, not everyone agrees
with them. Some doctors say it helps fight illness, while others say it could be dangerous,
especially for your heart.

I asked Peter what they did on the days when the pool was frozen. "That's easy", he said.
"There's a place in the middle where the ice is thin and easy to break. You have to avoid the
sides where the ice is thicker. I did try to swim there once just to see what it was like, but I found
that it was impossible to break throught the ice.

I would like to be able to say that I too dived happily into the water and swam a couple of hundred
metres. But the truth is, fearing the worst, I walked very carefully into the pool, stood there almost
in shock and then got out again after 30 seconds before I became a block of ice!

What did the writer feel about swimming at the pool?

The main intention of the author of the following text is

The western alphabet, which is used in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Australia and New Zealand
as well as in other countries, originated in the middle east. The people who gave the world this
alphabet were the Phoneacians, a people who established colonies all over the Mediterranean,
including Carthage in Africa and Gades in Spain. In their alphabet, the letters were represented
by little pictures which represented sounds.The Phoneacian A was aelph, which means "bull".
and it was made from a little picture of a bull's head. The letter B was beth which meant "house",
and showed the round-roofed buildings which you can still see today in Syria.

The Phoneacians had contact with another nation of sailors, the Greeks, with whom they fought
and traded. The Greeks also started to use the Phoneacian alphabet. They changed the names
so aelph and beth became alpha and beta. The shapes of the letters are the same but they have
been turned sideways. If you know any Greek, you can try turning the letters around again, and
see how they look. You will see that the curve on the right of the Greek A becomes the horns of
a little bull.

Of course, the first two letters of the alphabet give it its name. Over the years there have been
changes. Latin developed an alphabet with some different letters to the Greeks, and other letters
have been added since. But really westerners are using the same system of writing which has
served them so well for thousands of years.
Seleccione una:
A. to describe the history of the Greek alphabet.
B. to compare the western alphabet with other alphabets.
C. to tell something of the Phoneacian history.
D. to tell something about the story of why we write as we do.

Retroalimentación
The article talks about the origin of the western alphabet which is the one we use nowadays.
