The latest version of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg?s $13.1 billion, five­year educational capital plan will include $60 million for upgrades to a dozen school pools, including $7 million for Truman, and $4 million for King. But the school system?s capital has historically called for projects that never end up happening. Also, the mayor?s plan relies on $6.5 billion from the state, which is resisting a court order to give the city schools more money.

　　Teachers and principals say that when school pools work, they are shelters from whatever troubles may pass in the hallways and classrooms. Tension over test scores and safety concerns disappears when the students are swimming.

　　The purported (传说中的) existence of a pool at Martin Luther King Jr. High School was such a mystery that it inspired an article in a student newspaper. Appearing under the headline “Unlocking MLK’s secrets”， the article was accompanied by a photograph showing old furniture and a television set stacked next to the empty pool. At other schools, the situation is reversed. “The seniors would always tell the freshmen they could find the pool on the fifth floor，” said Adam Kerzner, a Bronx Science swimmer who graduated from the school — which has no fifth floor — in 1997.“It was kind of like a hazing thing.”

　　4．What do we learn about the swimming pool in MLK High School?

　　A．It lies on the fifth floor of the school.
