Text 10
Hello，everyone. I'd like to tell you a story about Miss Richards.
Miss Richards was a teacher at a school for boys and girls. She taught chemistry and physics from the lowest to the highest classes in the school. Sometimes the new classes learned rapidly, but sometimes they were very slow, and then Miss Richards had to repeat things many times.
One year, the first class had been studying chemistry for several weeks when Miss Richards suddenly asked, “What is water Who knows Hands up.”
There was a silence for a few seconds, and Miss Richards felt disappointed and sad. She waited patiently and then one boy raised his hand.
“Yes，Dick？”said Miss Richards encouragingly. He was not one of the brightest students in the class, so she was glad this boy could answer.
“Water is a liquid that has no color until you wash your hands in it，and then turns black.” the boy replied.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Unique outdoor restaurants around the world
Many things come to mind when I think of a great vacation. Remarkable scenery and delicious food are certainly on my list. Those two features can't always be found in the same location. However, amazing views and great food are both on the menu at the following three restaurants.
The Rock, Zanzibar
On an enormous boulder (巨石) off the coast of the East African island of Zanzibar sits The Rock. The freshest seafood, much of it straight from the surrounding ocean, is always available here. At low tide (潮汐), customers can walk out to The Rock. As the water rises, though, customers must take a short boat ride to it. Once they arrive, they're greeted by friendly staff and 360-degree views of beautiful blue-green water. The Rock, sometimes called the “floating restaurant”， is available for weddings and other small group events.
The Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant, Philippines
Striking waterfalls sometimes have restaurants at the top. But the Labasin Waterfalls, in San Pablo City, Philippines, is different. A restaurant sits at the bottom of the falls. Guests dine on authentic (地道的) Filipino meals at bamboo tables that stand right in the water. They cool their feet in the water that flows under their tables. The surrounding jungle makes a perfect background for this one-of-a-kind dining experience.
The Grotto, Thailand
The Grotto Restaurant on Thailand's Phra Nang Beach offers delicious food and an incredible dining experience. The restaurant is partly positioned inside a cave and partly on the beach. Guests seated toward the front look out at Happy Island in the lovely Andaman Sea. Those seated at the back enjoy an authentic cave-dining fortable tables, which are arranged inside the cave, sit next to large stalactites (钟乳石). International food with a Thai influence is featured.

Bartek Ostalowski lost both his arms in a terrible accident in 2006, but that wasn't enough to kill his dream of one day becoming a professional racecar driver. Finding himself armless at just 20 years old and faced with the difficult task of learning to drive a car on a race circuit must have been quite the shock for Bartek, but he mustered the courage and the drive to push on. In three years, he became a master of driving a racecar with his feet. Today, Bartek Ostalowski is the world's only professional sport driver who drives using his feet.
In order to deal with his physical limitations, Bartek transformed his racecar according to his needs, adding a new engine, and stronger transmission (变速器). The ambitious Polish driver uses his right foot to control the pedals, while moving on with his left one. The racecar is controlled with the shoulder.
“After my accident, I was looking for a solution. I asked myself if I wanted to race again what would I need to do？” Bartek told the reporter of Business Insider. “I heard about someone in Poland who, like me, had no arms, but he drove a car on a daily basis with no problem. After meeting him, my dream and passion for motorsports were alive and strong, and I made the decision to return to racing one day.”
In 2019，Ostalowski finished in ninth place out of 50 drivers in the Polish Drift Championship, one of the most competitive championship series in all of Europe, and the year before that, he won the international Czech Drift Series, beating dozens of other professional sports drivers.
“Of course I encourage other people with disabilities to get involved in motorsports. It's a beautiful passion and I think a great form of recovery too. So make your dreams come true，” the Polish driver said.

An immersive and slow-paced Citywalk is becoming trendy across China. In contrast to rushing past overcrowded tourist landmarks, the new trend has emerged as a popular alternative to explore bustling markets, ancient streets, and charming alleys at a leisurely pace.
The appeal of Citywalk caters particularly to the younger generation often caught up in demanding work schedules. As evidenced by the increasing popularity of hashtags like “City walk for vacation” on lifestyle sharing platform Xiaohong shu, with a staggering 465 million views and nearly 464，600 engagements, the trend is truly capturing unbelievable attention.
Citywalk, or meandering through the urban landscapes, means the act of walking freely along city streets unburdened by exhaustive plans. It offers people an avenue to intimately experience urban culture and local traditions. Citywalk is not merely about sightseeing. It creates an opportunity for social interactions and deep connections with the cities. Citywalk routes are tailored to the specific interests of both out-of-town tourists and locals. For tourists, the focus is on sharing local customs and traditions, while for locals, discussions revolve around the city's past, present, and future. The growing trend of Citywalk reflects a changing attitude towards life, embracing a warmer, more relaxed, and slower-paced lifestyle.
As Citywalk expands beyond first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, to second-and third-tier cities across the county, it brings fresh opportunities for the tourism industry, in such areas as dining, shopping, and accommodation.
Governments in Beijing and Shandong have recognized the potential of Citywalk, incorporating it into their action plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure activities. In Shanghai, public bus lines specially designed have been introduced to elevate the overall Citywalk for participants.
“By slowing down and delving into the narrow alleys, observing the lives of city residents, and immersing oneself in the context of museums and art galleries, one is entitled to embrace the pleasure of life，” said Luo Jun, a cultural tourism enthusiast.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了沉浸式的慢节奏城市漫步正在中国成为一种时尚。
28．What's the main reason for the popularity of Citywalk among young people

B．Social media offer many tempting videos.
C．Busywork schedule limits the choice of people.
D.Conventional tourist landmarks are losing charm.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中“The appeal of Citywalk caters particularly to the younger generation often caught up in demanding work schedules.”可知，城市漫步在年轻人中流行的主要原因是繁忙的工作日程限制了人们的选择。故选C。
29．What's the meaning of the underlined word “staggering” in the second paragraph
A．Astonishing. B．Rewarding.
C．Embarrassing. D．Shrinking.
答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。画线词后半部分“the trend is truly capturing unbelievable attention ”说明这一趋势引起的广泛关注令人难以置信，从而推知画线部分“As evidenced by the increasing popularity of hashtags like ‘City walk for vacation’ on lifestyle sharing platform Xiaohong shu, with a staggering 465 million views and nearly 464, 600 engagements ”其中画线词意思是“难以置信的，令人惊讶的”。故选A。
30．Which of the following statements is NOT Citywalk
A．An immersive route for foreigners to enjoy the alleys in Chengdu.

Obese people experience discrimination (歧视) in many parts of their lives, and the workplace is no exception. Studies have long shown that obese workers, defined as those with a body-mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, earn significantly less than their slimmer co-workers.
Yet the costs of weight discrimination may be even greater than previously thought. “The overwhelming evidence，” wrote the Institute for employment Studies, “is that it is only women living with obesity who experience the obesity wage penalty (薪资损失).” They were expressing a view that is widely aired in academic papers. To test it,__The Economist has analyzed data concerning 23，000 workers from the American Time Use Survey, conducted by the Bureau of Labour Statistics. Our number-processing suggests that, in fact, being obese hurts the earnings of both women and men.
The data we analyzed cover men and women aged between 25 and 54 and in full-time employment. At a general level, it is true that men's BMIs are unrelated to their wages. But that changes for men with university degrees. For them, obesity is associated with a wage penalty of nearly 8%, even after accounting for the separate effects of age, race, graduate education and marital status.
The conclusion—that well-educated workers in particular are penalized for their weight—holds for both sexes. Moreover, the higher your level of education, the greater the penalty. We found that obese men with a Bachelor's degree (学士学位) earn 5% less than their thinner colleagues, while those with a Master's degree earn 14% less. Obese women, it is true, still have it worse: for them, the equivalent figures are 12% and 19%, respectively (分别地).
Your line of work makes a difference, too. When we dealt with the numbers for individual occupations and industries, we found the greatest differences in high-skilled jobs. Obese workers in health care, for example, make 11% less than their slimmer colleagues; those in management roles make roughly 9% less, on average. In sectors such as construction and agriculture, meanwhile, obesity is actually associated with higher wages.
These results suggest that the total costs of wage discrimination borne by overweight workers in America are greater than expected. Now, it's time for our governments to take it seriously.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了肥胖人士在职场中所面临的薪资歧视问题。
32．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2
A．Obese men earn less salary.
B．Only obese women earn less salary.
C．Both obese men and women earn less salary.
D．Weight discrimination may be greater than previously thought.
答案：B
解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中“‘The overwhelming evidence，’ wrote the Institute for employment Studies, ‘is that it is only women living with obesity who experience the obesity wage penalty (薪资损失).’ They were expressing a view that is widely aired in academic papers. To test it , The Economist has analyzed data...”可知，就业研究提出只有肥胖女性才会遭受薪资损失，《经济学人》对其进行了分析和研究。结合指代关系可知，it指代的就是就业研究提出的“只有肥胖女性的工资更低”这一观点。故选B。
33．Who may experience more discrimination compared to their colleagues according to the data
A.A fat woman office director.
B．An obese construction worker.
C．An obese man with a bachelor's degree.
D．A heavier female doctor with a Doctor's degree.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中“The conclusion—that well-educated workers in particular are penalized for their weight—holds for both sexes. Moreover, the higher your level of education, the greater the penalty.”和第五段中“Obese workers in health care, for example, make 11% less than their slimmer colleagues; those in management roles make roughly 9% less, on average.”可推知，一个有博士学位的胖女医生比她的同事更容易受到歧视。故选D。
34．What is the writer's attitude of overweight discrimination
A．Supportive. B．Objective.
C．Subjective. D．Indifferent.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“Obese people experience discrimination (歧视) in many parts of their lives, and the workplace is no exception. Studies have long shown that obese workers, defined as those with a body-mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, earn significantly less than their slimmer co-workers.”和最后一段“These results suggest that the total costs of wage discrimination borne by overweight workers in America are greater than expected. Now, it's time for our governments to take it seriously.”可推知，作者以客观的方式提出了对肥胖人群的歧视问题，提供了数据和研究来支持肥胖员工(无论男女)比苗条同事挣得少的论点。作者没有表达个人对这个问题的支持或反对，而是提出事实，让读者得出自己的结论。因此，这种态度是客观的。故选B。
35．What might the author continue talking about
A．Overweight discrimination in other countries.
B．The reason of discriminating obese people in their lives.
C．American people's attitude towards overweight discrimination.
D.Actions taken against overweight discrimination in workplaces.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Now, it's time for our governments to take it seriously.”可知，作者在段尾呼吁政府认真对待肥胖人群的歧视问题。由此推知，接下来可能会谈论针对工作场所肥胖歧视问题应该采取的行动。故选D。

HOW TO DO HARD THINGS

First, you need to make sure you know what the hard, but effective thing is in the skill or job that you want to improve. __37__ It's usually the thing that creates the output. For writers, it's writing. For musicians, it's writing a song. For athletes, it's doing a workout.
Figure out your why. Make sure you know why you want to do this hard thing. __38__ So figure out your why and frequently remind yourself of it. Write it down and put it where you can see it. The stronger your why, the better.
__39__ Every day at a particular hour, you will do this hard thing. Pure focus, no multi-tasking. Take it easy at first and gradually lengthen the amount of time you spend on this. Enjoy it, too. You're a winner and you can do it.
Leave the doubts behind. When you're doing something hard, your brain will try to find ways to stop doing it. You'll want to look things up or find easy ways of doing the hard thing. Don't give in to these tempting arguments during your hard work sessions. __40__
If you keep improving yourself by doing hard things, you'll be getting better at your targeted skill. So don't spend too much time working around the hard task. Just do the hard thing instead.
A．This should be easy to figure out.
B．Change your thinking so the hard thing looks good.
C．But we don't do those things because they are hard.
D．Make a commitment and turn the hard thing into a habit.
E．If you are not clear about it, you'll lose motivation quickly.
F．Do whatever you want after or before, but stay focused during.
G．Life is hard sometimes, and you will have to do hard things at some point.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍如何做难事。
36．答案：C
解析：过渡句。上文叙述，通往成功的道路不是秘密，这是一个难以忽视的真相。我们大多数人都清楚我们需要做些什么来改善我们的生活。该句承上启下，“但我们因为难做而不愿去做那些事。”下文补充说明，我们喜欢感觉良好的事情，避免做我们知道困难但却是最有效的事情。those things为信息词。所以，C项符合上下文逻辑关系。
37．答案：A
解析：过渡句。上文叙述，首先，你需要确保你知道在你想要提高的技能或工作中，什么是困难但有效的。该句承上启下，“找出来应该很容易。”下文进一步解释，它通常是创造输出的东西。A项符合上下文逻辑关系。
38．答案：E
解析：细节句。上文叙述，要确保你了解为什么做这些艰难的事。该句补充说明，“如果你对此不清楚，你会很快失去动力。”it为信息词。
39．答案：D
解析：主题句。下文叙述，每天在特定的时间，你都会做这件艰难的事情。纯粹专注，没有多重任务。一开始要放松，逐渐延长你在这方面的时间。由此可知，“做出承诺，把困难的事情变成习惯。”与该段内容一致。
40．答案：F
解析：细节句。该段叙述把疑虑抛在脑后。当你在做一件艰难的事情时，你的大脑会试图找到停止做这件事的方法。你会想查找一些东西，或者找到更容易的方法来做这件艰难的事。在你努力工作的过程中，不要屈服于这些诱人的论述。该句补充说明“在之后或之前做任何你想做的事，但在这期间要保持专注”。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As Papá fell sound asleep, Catalina slid from her bed and felt her way to the front door. The girl waited a moment to see if any of her family would wake, but nobody stirred. She tiptoed upstairs to her “Observatory”， longing for drinking in deep lungfuls of the clear night air under the bright stars.
She polished her dear telescope, which was presented by her grandpa, the only one to support her dream. She assembled (组装) it, disassembled it and reassembled it repeatedly, knowing its parts very well.
Through it she could explore the unknown galaxy, the Milky Way stretching across the deep blue sky. Night was always her favorite time. When everything was quiet, she was lost in her starry night. At this moment, she seemed to forget her cares and sorrows in the daytime.
She told her secret dream to these beloved ones, her friends, teachers and even her father. When she said, “Papá， I want to be an astronomer working in the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory someday，” her father replied, “Maybe if you work hard, you'll be hired to clean the offices.” No one believed she would be a scientist one day. But why She knew she could be a good scientist. She knew it!
A big day was coming—to visit the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, where she had visited for dozens of times, familiar with every set of the instruments there. This time with her classmates she was still eager for something stimulating.
She took a cautious step forward, holding her breath, and her eyes getting closer to the lens (镜片) of the telescope. She adjusted the device softly and carefully, hoping to find more... “Bang！...” suddenly there came a loud noise. One of her old friends “one-meter” telescope fell down, broken.
“Look out! Stop touching anything! Step backward！” The manager yelled.
“One-meter is broken, but the scientist has the day off. Nobody can fix it.” An operator added. Worries blanketed the hall.
“I CAN FIX IT！” Catalina's voice was surprisingly calm.
“You what...？” The manager uttered, confused, and doubted.
“It has 67 parts in total. An adjustable spanner (扳手) and a star screwdriver (螺丝刀) can help.”
“Then you know how to assemble it.” His eyes wide open, he still half believed.
Confidently, she nodded.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Hesitating for a second, the manager agreed, “Just do it, and I'll take all responsibilities.”______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thunderous applause erupted and rocked the hall.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文：
Hesitating for a second, the manager agreed, “Just do it, and I'll take all responsibilities.” He handed her the tools she needed, watching in disbelief as Catalina confidently began to work. Her fingers moved swiftly, each part fitting perfectly into place as if guided by an unseen force. Minutes ticked by, and the tension in the air thickened with every successful turn of the screw.
Thunderous applause erupted and rocked the hall. When Catalina finished, the telescope stood tall and proud, restored to its former glory. The manager beamed, his doubts vanished. “How did you do it？” he asked, amazement coloring his voice. Catalina smiled, her eyes shining with determination. “I've been preparing for this moment ever since Papá gave me this telescope. I knew I could fix it because I know every part of it, just like I know every star in the sky.” That day, Catalina not only fixed the telescope but also proved to everyone that she was destined to become a great astronomer.

Unique outdoor restaurants around the world
Many things come to mind when I think of a great vacation. Remarkable scenery and delicious food are certainly on my list. Those two features can't always be found in the same location. However, amazing views and great food are both on the menu at the following three restaurants.
The Rock, Zanzibar
On an enormous boulder (巨石) off the coast of the East African island of Zanzibar sits The Rock. The freshest seafood, much of it straight from the surrounding ocean, is always available here. At low tide (潮汐), customers can walk out to The Rock. As the water rises, though, customers must take a short boat ride to it. Once they arrive, they're greeted by friendly staff and 360-degree views of beautiful blue-green water. The Rock, sometimes called the “floating restaurant”， is available for weddings and other small group events.
The Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant, Philippines
Striking waterfalls sometimes have restaurants at the top. But the Labasin Waterfalls, in San Pablo City, Philippines, is different. A restaurant sits at the bottom of the falls. Guests dine on authentic (地道的) Filipino meals at bamboo tables that stand right in the water. They cool their feet in the water that flows under their tables. The surrounding jungle makes a perfect background for this one-of-a-kind dining experience.
The Grotto, Thailand
The Grotto Restaurant on Thailand's Phra Nang Beach offers delicious food and an incredible dining experience. The restaurant is partly positioned inside a cave and partly on the beach. Guests seated toward the front look out at Happy Island in the lovely Andaman Sea. Those seated at the back enjoy an authentic cave-dining fortable tables, which are arranged inside the cave, sit next to large stalactites (钟乳石). International food with a Thai influence is featured.
21．What can you do at The Rock
A．Host small ceremonies.
B．Have meals at bamboo tables.

Bartek Ostalowski lost both his arms in a terrible accident in 2006, but that wasn't enough to kill his dream of one day becoming a professional racecar driver. Finding himself armless at just 20 years old and faced with the difficult task of learning to drive a car on a race circuit must have been quite the shock for Bartek, but he mustered the courage and the drive to push on. In three years, he became a master of driving a racecar with his feet. Today, Bartek Ostalowski is the world's only professional sport driver who drives using his feet.
In order to deal with his physical limitations, Bartek transformed his racecar according to his needs, adding a new engine, and stronger transmission (变速器). The ambitious Polish driver uses his right foot to control the pedals, while moving on with his left one. The racecar is controlled with the shoulder.
“After my accident, I was looking for a solution. I asked myself if I wanted to race again what would I need to do？” Bartek told the reporter of Business Insider. “I heard about someone in Poland who, like me, had no arms, but he drove a car on a daily basis with no problem. After meeting him, my dream and passion for motorsports were alive and strong, and I made the decision to return to racing one day.”
In 2019，Ostalowski finished in ninth place out of 50 drivers in the Polish Drift Championship, one of the most competitive championship series in all of Europe, and the year before that, he won the international Czech Drift Series, beating dozens of other professional sports drivers.
“Of course I encourage other people with disabilities to get involved in motorsports. It's a beautiful passion and I think a great form of recovery too. So make your dreams come true，” the Polish driver said.

An immersive and slow-paced Citywalk is becoming trendy across China. In contrast to rushing past overcrowded tourist landmarks, the new trend has emerged as a popular alternative to explore bustling markets, ancient streets, and charming alleys at a leisurely pace.
The appeal of Citywalk caters particularly to the younger generation often caught up in demanding work schedules. As evidenced by the increasing popularity of hashtags like “City walk for vacation” on lifestyle sharing platform Xiaohong shu, with a staggering 465 million views and nearly 464，600 engagements, the trend is truly capturing unbelievable attention.
Citywalk, or meandering through the urban landscapes, means the act of walking freely along city streets unburdened by exhaustive plans. It offers people an avenue to intimately experience urban culture and local traditions. Citywalk is not merely about sightseeing. It creates an opportunity for social interactions and deep connections with the cities. Citywalk routes are tailored to the specific interests of both out-of-town tourists and locals. For tourists, the focus is on sharing local customs and traditions, while for locals, discussions revolve around the city's past, present, and future. The growing trend of Citywalk reflects a changing attitude towards life, embracing a warmer, more relaxed, and slower-paced lifestyle.
As Citywalk expands beyond first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, to second-and third-tier cities across the county, it brings fresh opportunities for the tourism industry, in such areas as dining, shopping, and accommodation.
Governments in Beijing and Shandong have recognized the potential of Citywalk, incorporating it into their action plans to promote cultural tourism and leisure activities. In Shanghai, public bus lines specially designed have been introduced to elevate the overall Citywalk for participants.
“By slowing down and delving into the narrow alleys, observing the lives of city residents, and immersing oneself in the context of museums and art galleries, one is entitled to embrace the pleasure of life，” said Luo Jun, a cultural tourism enthusiast.
28．What's the main reason for the popularity of Citywalk among young people
A．It mainly focuses on urban sightseeing.
B．Social media offer many tempting videos.
C．Busywork schedule limits the choice of people.
D.Conventional tourist landmarks are losing charm.
29．What's the meaning of the underlined word “staggering” in the second paragraph
A．Astonishing. B．Rewarding.
C．Embarrassing. D．Shrinking.
30．Which of the following statements is NOT Citywalk
A．An immersive route for foreigners to enjoy the alleys in Chengdu.
B．A holiday travel to hurriedly visit crowded landmarks in Shanghai.
C．A free walk including visiting museums and old towns in Qingdao.
D．A leisurely tour along Qiantang River to experience city transformation.
31．What have some governments done to promote Citywalk
A．Facilities in the museums have been enhanced.
B.Cooperation has been strengthened among cities.
C．Opportunities have been offered to third-tier cities.
D．Specific public transportation routes have been introduced.
D
Obese people experience discrimination (歧视) in many parts of their lives, and the workplace is no exception. Studies have long shown that obese workers, defined as those with a body-mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, earn significantly less than their slimmer co-workers.
Yet the costs of weight discrimination may be even greater than previously thought. “The overwhelming evidence，” wrote the Institute for employment Studies, “is that it is only women living with obesity who experience the obesity wage penalty (薪资损失).” They were expressing a view that is widely aired in academic papers. To test it,__The Economist has analyzed data concerning 23，000 workers from the American Time Use Survey, conducted by the Bureau of Labour Statistics. Our number-processing suggests that, in fact, being obese hurts the earnings of both women and men.
The data we analyzed cover men and women aged between 25 and 54 and in full-time employment. At a general level, it is true that men's BMIs are unrelated to their wages. But that changes for men with university degrees. For them, obesity is associated with a wage penalty of nearly 8%, even after accounting for the separate effects of age, race, graduate education and marital status.
The conclusion—that well-educated workers in particular are penalized for their weight—holds for both sexes. Moreover, the higher your level of education, the greater the penalty. We found that obese men with a Bachelor's degree (学士学位) earn 5% less than their thinner colleagues, while those with a Master's degree earn 14% less. Obese women, it is true, still have it worse: for them, the equivalent figures are 12% and 19%, respectively (分别地).
Your line of work makes a difference, too. When we dealt with the numbers for individual occupations and industries, we found the greatest differences in high-skilled jobs. Obese workers in health care, for example, make 11% less than their slimmer colleagues; those in management roles make roughly 9% less, on average. In sectors such as construction and agriculture, meanwhile, obesity is actually associated with higher wages.
These results suggest that the total costs of wage discrimination borne by overweight workers in America are greater than expected. Now, it's time for our governments to take it seriously.
32．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2
A．Obese men earn less salary.
B．Only obese women earn less salary.
C．Both obese men and women earn less salary.
D．Weight discrimination may be greater than previously thought.
33．Who may experience more discrimination compared to their colleagues according to the data
A.A fat woman office director.
B．An obese construction worker.
C．An obese man with a bachelor's degree.
D．A heavier female doctor with a Doctor's degree.
34．What is the writer's attitude of overweight discrimination
A．Supportive. B．Objective.
C．Subjective. D．Indifferent.
35．What might the author continue talking about
A．Overweight discrimination in other countries.
B．The reason of discriminating obese people in their lives.
C．American people's attitude towards overweight discrimination.
D.Actions taken against overweight discrimination in workplaces.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As Papá fell sound asleep, Catalina slid from her bed and felt her way to the front door. The girl waited a moment to see if any of her family would wake, but nobody stirred. She tiptoed upstairs to her “Observatory”， longing for drinking in deep lungfuls of the clear night air under the bright stars.
She polished her dear telescope, which was presented by her grandpa, the only one to support her dream. She assembled (组装) it, disassembled it and reassembled it repeatedly, knowing its parts very well.
Through it she could explore the unknown galaxy, the Milky Way stretching across the deep blue sky. Night was always her favorite time. When everything was quiet, she was lost in her starry night. At this moment, she seemed to forget her cares and sorrows in the daytime.
She told her secret dream to these beloved ones, her friends, teachers and even her father. When she said, “Papá， I want to be an astronomer working in the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory someday，” her father replied, “Maybe if you work hard, you'll be hired to clean the offices.” No one believed she would be a scientist one day. But why She knew she could be a good scientist. She knew it!
A big day was coming—to visit the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, where she had visited for dozens of times, familiar with every set of the instruments there. This time with her classmates she was still eager for something stimulating.
She took a cautious step forward, holding her breath, and her eyes getting closer to the lens (镜片) of the telescope. She adjusted the device softly and carefully, hoping to find more... “Bang！...” suddenly there came a loud noise. One of her old friends “one-meter” telescope fell down, broken.
“Look out! Stop touching anything! Step backward！” The manager yelled.
“One-meter is broken, but the scientist has the day off. Nobody can fix it.” An operator added. Worries blanketed the hall.
“I CAN FIX IT！” Catalina's voice was surprisingly calm.
“You what...？” The manager uttered, confused, and doubted.
“It has 67 parts in total. An adjustable spanner (扳手) and a star screwdriver (螺丝刀) can help.”
“Then you know how to assemble it.” His eyes wide open, he still half believed.
Confidently, she nodded.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Hesitating for a second, the manager agreed, “Just do it, and I'll take all responsibilities.”______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thunderous applause erupted and rocked the hall.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
