阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题。
“Were the birds on the ice ducks or geese（鹅）?” Cruz, 11, and Anthony, 12, weren’t agreed on it. There was only one way to find out. So on a cold January evening, the two friends took a risk onto the frozen lake near their homes.
“First, we threw a stone onto the ice to test it. We thought it would hold our weight. Then we stepped on it,” Cruz said. Anthony went first. He took a few steps, and then ... He fell through the seemingly frozen ice!
Cruz rushed to help his friend. The lake “ate” him, too. Cruz managed to lift himself out of the freezing water and onto some ice. He then tried to work his way towards Anthony. But the ice couldn’t hold him, and he fell in again. This time, he couldn’t get out.
The boys were up to their necks in icy water and quickly losing feelings in their arms and legs. Cruz had a sense that he was going to die.
Anthony’s elder sister saw all this and started shouting for help. John Lavin, a neighbour driving nearby, heard her. He quickly pulled over. He caught a nearby float（浮板）, kicked off his shoes and ran into the water, clearing his way through the ice with his free hand. “It was kind of a ‘Hulk smash’,” Lavin later joked.
Lavin made his way to pull the boys back to land. They were taken to the hospital immediately. The doctor said their five - minute stay in the water made their body temperature drop nearly ten degrees. Luckily, the boys got well soon. They admired their fearless neighbour just as Hulk, one of the Marvel Superheroes.
1. In which season did the story happen?
______________________________
2. Why did Cruz and Anthony walk onto the frozen lake?
______________________________
3. Would you take a risk when you want to find out the truth? Why or why not?
