Fr eight years, Sphie created realistic-lking limbs（肢）fr thse wh wanted t fit in. But she lnged t wrk n mre dd designs that wuld stand ut. Then she met Pllyanna Hpe, a yung amputee（被截肢者）.
“She wanted smething a little different n her leg: pictures f a cartn she lved, Peppa Pig,” said Sphie, wh is nw based in Lndn. S she designed a unique leg cvered in tatt-like images f Peppa and ther pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. Wrking with Hpe made Sphie realize there was a ptential market fr limbs.
Since then, Sphie funded the Alternative Limb Prject（ALP）t make artistic limbs. Her wrk includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that lks like prcelain（瓷器）cvered in a painted flwery vine. She makes abut six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas s that they receive a persnal piece they can celebrate rather than hide.
Of curse, a fancy-lking limb wn’t suit everyne. Fr Sphie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a cmbinatin f cmfrt, beauty and functinality, and pushing t hard in ne directin can weaken ther areas. But fr amputees wh appreciate nvelty, Sphie has sme amazing ideas.
“I`d really like t make a candy-dispenser（自动售卖机）leg with clrful candies inside it” she says. “Or a cuck-clck leg with a wden bird that pps ut every hur.” Her gal is t fashin a striking limb.

Peple d better when mre is expected f them. In educatin circles, this is called the Pygmalin Effect.
The Pygmalin effect gt its name frm the stry f Pygmalin, a mythical（虚构的）Greek sculptr. Pygmalin carved a statue f a wman and then fell in lve with it. He appealed t Aphrdite, the gddess f lve, wh brught the statue t life and helped the cuple get married. Just as Pygmalin’s fixatin n the statue brught it t life, teacher’s fcus n a student can d the same in schls. Research by Rbert Rsenthal and Lenre Jacbsn examined the influence f teachers’ expectatins n students’ perfrmance. They began by testing the IQ f elementary schl students. Teachers were tld that the IQ test shwed arund ne-fifth f their students t be unusually intelligent. But unknwn t the teachers, the “gifted” students were chsen at randm. Actually they had n big statistical advantage ver the ther kids. As the study perid ended, all students had their IQs retested. Bth grups shwed an imprvement. Yet thse wh were described as intelligent experienced much greater gains in their IQ pints. Rsenthal and Jacbsn wed this result t the Pygmalin effect. Teachers paid mre attentin t “gifted” students, ffering mre supprt and encuragement than they wuld therwise.
In general, teachers have the pwer t influence hw the students behave by hlding high expectatins. If a teacher thinks a student is brilliant, they will treat them as such. The student then gets mre pprtunities t develp their ability, and their perfrmance imprves. This wrks bth ways. When a student expects a teacher t be excellent r successful, they tend t be attentive and supprtive. In the prcess, they imprve their perfrmance, t. Students wh act interested in lectures create interesting lectures.
8．Where did the Pygmalin effect get its name frm?
A. A statue f a lady. B. The gddess f lve.
C. A character in a literary wrk. D. The stry made up by Pygmalin.
9．The underlined expressin “fixatin n” in Paragraph 2 mst prbably means
A. wrship f B. affectin fr C. marriage t D. sympathy fr
10．What is the purpse f Rsenthal and Jacbsn`s research?

32．答案：①but/yet②Gradually③t imprve④fr⑤marking⑥an⑦participants⑧have been recgnized/are recgnized⑨cmbined⑩cuntless
解析：①but/yet句意:很多人怀疑他们有能力完成比赛，但是他们用2小时20分钟完成了半程马拉松比赛。分析句子结构可知，两个分句之间需要个连词，根据句意可知前后句子之间是转折关系，所以填but(但是)。
②Gradually句意:逐渐地，在耐力方面，他的身体状况都有很大提高。gradual 形容词，逐渐地。9radually 副词，逐渐地。因为顶格位于句首此处需要用副词gradually修饰后面整个句子，首字母大写。故填Gradually。
③t imprve句意:这对夫妻对跑步的热爱开始于一个提高身体的方式。Prmte 动词，提高。awaytdsth.做某事的方式。故此处填timprve.

为...。故填fr。
⑤marking句意:2004年他们开始参加老年人国家健身活动，标志着他们第一次国家跑步比赛。mark 动词，标志着。此处是现在分词短语做状语，前面主句句子也结束，所以是伴随状语，应用现在分词，填 marking。
⑥an句意:让我们吃惊的是，王获得了一个让人印象深刻的成绩--第四名。animpressiveresult 令人印象深刻的一个结果。此处表示泛指，用不定冠词，且impressive是元音音素开始的，故填an.
⑦participants句意:自从那之后，这对老夫妻变成了国际田手们定期邀请的参加者。participate动词，参加。此处表示被邀请的人，选用动词的名词形式与人这一词属于同源词符合。被动的逻辑主语是theelderlycuple,故用复数participants(参加者)。
⑧have been recgnized/are recgnized句意:他们在国际田径界是被公认的人物。berecgnizedas因.而被公认。副词cnsistently在that从句中应用Asthecupleparticipaieinmreandmreraces中rang的过去分词ranc(持续地，不变地)修饰谓语，前面的谓语也用一般现在时，主语是they第三人称复数。故填arerecgnized
⑨cmbined句意:随着年龄的稍加合并，这对夫妻在全美国进行了超过100场马拉松比赛。cmbine动词，合并。cmbinedage 使年龄合并，年龄之和 此处需要用cmbine的过去分词cmbined作定语修饰age。故填cmbined。
⑩cuntless句意:他们的影响激励无数年轻人成为跑步界一个成员的一部分。cunt动词，数数。cuntless形容词，无数的。此处需要一个形容词作定语修饰名词yuth。故填cuntless。
