三、阅读理解。
Kevin is a special swimmer. He took risks to swim in very cold places because he wanted people to pay attention to the environment. As a boy, Kevin visited national parks and he learned that the earth is in bad condition. He felt worried, and wanted to save the earth.
In 2009, he went to swim in the waters near the Arctic (北极) to draw people's attention to the melting glaciers (冰川). Kevin said that the swim was so painful that it would be his last time to swim in cold water. In 2016, he heard about a lake in the Himalayas (喜马拉雅山脉). It was formed by melting glaciers. He decided to swim in cold water again. It was difficult to swim in the lake. The air was so thin and the water was even colder. But he still finished the swim. He wanted people to know that the glaciers in the Himalayas are disappearing because of global warming and that there's less water from the mountains for people in nearby countries like India and Pakistan.
From Kevin's story, we learn two lessons. We know that people can do a lot of harm to the Earth without realizing it. Also, we know that if we change the way of thinking, we can do something to protect the environment.
