Each year, the wmen f Olney, England, and Liberal, Kansas, have an unusual “pancake racing”. This traditin is said t have started n Shrve Tuesday, 1445, in Olney. Shrve Tuesday is the day befre the Christian seasn f Lent begins.
It is said that in 1445, an Olney wman was making pancakes. She suddenly heard the church (教堂) bells ring, signaling the beginning f the Shrve Tuesday service. Realizing that she was ging t be late fr church, she raced ut the dr still wearing her aprn (围裙) and headscarf and hlding her frying pan (锅) with a pancake in it. Olney wmen cntinue this traditin mre than 500 years later.
In 1950, a persn f Liberal wanted his twn t jin in Olney Pancake Race. He made sme phne calls t Olney t set up a friendly cmpetitin, and the peple f Olney accepted the challenge (挑战).
The rules are simple. Racers must wear the traditinal headscarf and aprn. They have t flip (抛) the pancake in the air s that it flips and lands back in the pan n the ther side. After the race, there are Shrve Tuesday church services. Then Liberal and Olney cnnect thrugh a vide call t cmpare race times and annunce a winner.

N ne can deny (否认) that LeBrn James gets paid a lt f mney — but n ne can deny that he hasn’t earned it either. He’s brken the recrds f greats like Michael Jrdan and Magic Jhnsn. He’s a talent.
Prfessinal athletes (运动员) like LeBrn give their lives t their sprt — t training, traveling, and pushing themselves t the limit. And while their lives may seem glamrus, think abut this: Athletes face injuries that can be nt nly career-ending but als life-changing. In fact, many retired (退休的) athletes have lng-term health prblems because f hw hard they push n their bdies. Retired New Yrk Jets player Wesley Walker said that he suffered s much pain as a result f playing ftball that tday he can hardly pen a water bttle.
The tll (代价) a prfessinal athlete’s career takes n his r her bdy means mre than a lifetime f pain (and medical bills); it als means a shrt career. Athletes need pay that will carry them past the 5 t 15 years they are able t play.
Withut the shwstpping perfrmances f stars like Serena Williams and Stephen Curry, many jbs wuldn’t exist. Sprts reprters, stadium wrkers, cheerleaders, and caches are amng thse wh can thank the prfessinal sprts industry fr their emplyment.
It may seem unfair that athletes get paid t play a game, but remember wh they are really playing fr: us. We’re the nes wh fill stadiums in rain and snw t watch their games, wh crwd arund the televisin t cheer them n, and wh feel immeasurable jy when ur team wins.
The wrk f prfessinal athletes certainly pays ff fr us. Shuldn’t it pay ff fr them t?
32. What des the underlined wrd “glamrus” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Difficult.
B. Tiresme.
C. Attractive.
D. Organized.
33. Which f the fllwing may the authr agree with?
A. Prfessinal athletes have n idea abut their limits.
B. Injuries are a prblem fr prfessinal athletes.
C. Retired prfessinal athletes are badly treated.
D. Prfessinal athletes’ careers are shrt.
34. What is the authr’s attitude t athletes’ high salaries?
A. Dubtful.
B. Surprised.
C. Supprtive.
D. Uncncerned.
35. What is the best title fr the text?

My walk tk me int beautiful cuntryside. After abut 15 minutes I nticed that I was nt heading back in the directin I had cme — in fact I seemed t be mving further away. N prblem, I thught, as I fished arund in my pcket fr my mbile phne t call hme and get help, but it wasn’t there. I had left it at hme.
Hwever, I remained calm. Althugh there weren’t any peple abut, there was sme traffic and I was sure that smene wuld finally stp and pint me in the right directin.

B ★★★★☆
Frm eating turkey (火鸡) t spending time with family t watching ftball, Thanksgiving is filled with traditins. But ne f the mst ppular — pulling the wishbne (如愿骨) — dates back centuries.
The upside-dwn V-shaped bne is in fact called the furcula. It is an elastic (有弹性的) bne lcated between a turkey’s neck and its breast. All birds have a wishbne. It helps supprt a bird as it flies. At Thanksgiving, the traditin is fr tw peple t hld ne end f the wishbne, make a wish, and then tug (拉). The winner is the persn wh ends up with the bigger piece and can make a wish.
Hw did this traditin get started? The practice f making a wish n a bird’s furcula dates back t the ancient Etruscans. After killing a chicken, an Etruscan wuld leave the wishbne in the sun t dry. Passersby wuld pick it up, tuch it fr gd luck, and make a wish. That is hw the furcula gt the name “wishbne”.
The Etruscans passed the traditin alng t the Rmans. Sn, the practice f making a wish n a chicken’s furcula became ppular in ancient Rme. And it was s widespread that there weren’t enugh chickens r wishbnes t g arund. S the Rmans began breaking the wishbne in tw. Nw, twice as many peple culd make wishes.
Then the English brught the practice t the New Wrld. There, they fund a lt f wild turkeys. S they started using a turkey furcula fr their wishes. Tday a wishbne tug f war is a part f Thanksgiving.
When it cmes time t pull apart the wishbne, different peple have different methds t end up with the biggest piece. But there are a few tips that may help yu get the upper hand.
First, make sure yur hands are dry. Next, make sure yu hld the wishbne the right way. Take it between yur thumb (拇指) and frefinger and place yur thumb as clse t the center f the bne as pssible. The mre frce yu can use at yur side f the wishbne, the better chance yu have f winning the war.
5. What can we learn abut the furcula?
A. It is immvable.
B. It is difficult t get.
C. It is necessary fr a bird’s flight.
D. It is strnger than the wishbne.
6. Why did the Rmans break the wishbne in tw?
A. T create a gd-lking bne.
B. T satisfy the increasing needs f peple.
C. T let it becme dry as sn as pssible.
D. T prevent peple frm killing mre chickens.
7. Hw can peple win a wishbne tug f war?
A. By washing their hands first.
B. By pulling the wishbne hard.
C. By breaking the center f the wishbne.
D. By hlding the wishbne with all their fingers.
8. What’s the purpse f the text?
