Suddenly, everywhere you look, everyone’s taking cold showers. Not literally—that would be weird—but there’s no mistaking a lifestyle trend when you see one. They’re【C1】________ in a new book, What Doesn’t Kill Us, which【C2】________ the exploits of the Dutch extreme-cold enthusiast (狂热者) Wim Hof, who once spent nearly two hours in an ice bath. In The New York Times, the novelist Ben Dolnick reports that cold showers changed his "entire【C3】________ toward the outside world". The benefits include everything from【C4】________ immunity to slowing ageing and fighting depression. It’s environmentally better, too, so you’ll feel the warm glow of being moral, which is fortunate, given that you’re going to be extremely bloody cold.

Finding myself sleepy at 5 p.m.—having woken with the baby at 5 a.m.—I tried taking naps, 【C6】________ that plan, and then started jumping under icy water instead. It worked【C7】________,helping me squeeze out a few more hours of energy. When I took another cold shower before bed, I slept better, too.
But I’ll admit there’s something a little【C8】________ about this, as there is with many strategies for "breaking out of your comfort zone". What are we all trying to prove, exactly? It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that behind the desire to【C9】________ over extreme cold, there’s a desire to somehow conquer yourself, since both participants in this wrestling match, as you may have noticed, are you. The far more likely result is just more【C10】________ conflict.
