A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9yearold girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67yearold female.
A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.
“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better,” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.
“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.”
本文讲的是Florida International University举办的一种特殊活动,即穿着自己设计的水鞋走过一个175尺长的湖。
1.For what purpose did the students take part in the race?
A.To go across the lake to school.
B.To test their balance on the water.
C.To pass Professor Canaves' class.
D.To win the prize money of $ 500.
答案:C 推理判断题。根据第二段“Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an ‘A’ on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves,”可知。
