about holding the Asian Games. They agreed to form the Asian Athletic Federation. A preparatory was set up to

C. READING
* Circle the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.
I like to be near water – sea, lake or river. That I probably because I was born in a village by the sea,
and I have lived most of my life close to water. When I am in some place which is far from lake, river and
sea, I am restless and I always feel that there is something missing, even though it is sometimes hard for
me to decide what it is.
Of course, the sports I like are the ones which need water – sailing, rowing and swimming. It is
possible to swim in small swimming pools, but rowing and sailing are impossible without a lot of water.
Rowing is best in a river and sailing on the sea or a big lake, but one can do some sailing on a river and
one can certainly row on a lake or the sea when the weather is good.
Of the three sports – swimming, rowing and sailing – I like rowing best because it is the easiest to
continue during the winter, when the water is too cold for comfortable swimming and the sea is often too
rough for sailing. Even on the coldest day one row, only ice on the water or thick fog can stop one.
Sometimes it is so cold when I go out rowing that drop of water freeze wherever they fall. In such weather,
it is not very pleasant to swim as one cannot stay in the water very long. However, when is rowing, one
gets warmer the longer one goes on.
