79. The Weaker Sex p.31

　　Who says that women are the weaker sex？ Sixteen-year-old Kelly Williams from St. Petersburg， Florida is the first female wrestler2 to fight against boys and beat them. Who would have thought that possible not so very long ago？ Her success， though， has angered some people. They say she should have been banned from wrestling because it will cause the boys to think impure3 thoughts.

　　When asked about this， Kelly said， “People live in their own worlds and nobody has the right to force their values on others.” Should women be allowed to wrestle1 with men in competition？ What do you think？

　　obese4 肥胖 比 fat 更胖

　　hyphen 连字号       I like that five-year-old boy.

　　I should have finished my homework last night， but I watched TV instead.

　　，though， = however

　　Children under 16 are banned from doing it.

　　I was thinking positive（or good） thoughts.  不说：I was thinking sb/sth.

　　optimistic 乐观的
