To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的) shoes they designed and created. Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore big boat-like shoes, also won last year and will receive $500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for a special course. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard (硬纸板) for a boat race.

2. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

As a child grows up, you may wonder how you can teach him to become a respectful adult. A child who learns to respect not only learns to receive respect from others, but also learns to respect himself.

◆Show him respect.

This is the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child attentively and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.

◆

The more you say "please" and "thank you" to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.

◆Agree to disagree

Explain your decision so that he will understand you and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn't necessarily mean disobedience.

◆Control your impulse (冲动) to overreact.

When a situation arises, stay calm and keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior.

◆Praise, praise, praise!

So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that his accomplishments are not celebrated enough.

A. Teach manners by using polite requests and responses.

B. Respectful behavior is always accompanied by bad behavior as a child.

C. Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.

D. If he sees you lose your temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.

E. A child may act as he pleases and he will live a happy life.

F. Seeing a child exhibit respectful behavior, make sure he knows how proud you are of him.

G. Try to remember that a child won't always agree with you.
