Part A Reading aloud (模仿朗读)
Here in Antarctica, the surface waters are so cold and heavy that they sink. That creates immense rivers of water that flow into the deep where they power a global network of currents. These currents flow from the frozen poles to the warm tropics and back again, linking every ocean. They redistribute heat around the planet, maintaining a climate favourable for life on earth. From producing the oxygen we breathe to controlling our weather, the oceans are our life support system. But there are worrying signs that they are warming at a faster rate than ever before in human history.

You know, the feet are much less sensitive to cold, so one should wash the feet first in a cold shower. I think you can try cold shower. Perhaps you'll like it.
