Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. 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 oversized 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 Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that，” Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”
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 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67-year-old 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.”
32．For what purpose did the students take part in the race? A．To go across the lake to school. B．To pass Professor Canaves' class. C．To test their balance on the water. D．To win the prize money of $500.
33．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．Most students finished the class assignment successfully.
B．The students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by the Professor. C．The students wore shoes distributed by Professor Canaves to walk across the lake. D．The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities. 34．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Alex Quinones is a top student in the university.
B．It's a custom for the people in the community to get involved in student activities. C．The student who made it to the end in the race would succeed in their professional career. D．Professor Canaves attaches importance to hands-on learning experience. 35．The purpose of the passage is to ________. A．show his approval of the unique teaching style B．inspire teachers to be more creative C．report an interesting assignment
D．encourage more people to take part in the race
