Most restaurants sell lots of dishes, but not all dishes are created the same. Most dishes can be divided into four kinds: Stars: popular dishes with high profits (利润) Plow Horses: popular dishes with low profits Dogs: unpopular dishes with low profits Puzzles: unpopular dishes with high profits Examples of stars include pizzas and noodles, which are popular and cheap to make, especially in great amount. They make most profits for a restaurant. The restaurants are always trying to take money out from your pocket. So what methods do they take? Let’s have a look. ●   Dishes “For Two”. The price written on the menu is for single person, and “per person (单人价)” is very small, at the bottom of the menu. Of course everyone forgets to multiply (乘) it by two. ●   Good use of words. Using all kinds of vivid words to describe a profitable dish and not so vivid words to describe a less profitable dish. ●   The prices of the dishes are mostly ended with nine, like 99 yuan or 199 yuan.

I love training with my husband Chris. We do our own exercises separately, and then we spend 30—40 minutes doing something we both like together. And we really enjoy it. I also train with my family — my brother, his wife and our cousins will come to our house every now and then to train together. It’s like family fun time! The competition also makes us work out a little harder.

Laziness, as you know, is catching, and so is enthusiasm (热情). If you can get your friend on board, you will be able to encourage each other on those days when the other doesn’t feel like moving. If you set yourself a goal and add some competition, I promise you that the training will be much more fun. Time will fly by and you will want to do it again.

This is why I wanted to learn Chris’s favorite sport — surfing. Not only would we have more fun things to do together, but also it was challenging for me. In turn, I have introduced Chris to two of my favorite sports: horse riding and motorbiking. Now he also loves them, which means we have even more chances to have fun together. Encouraged by our example, my brother and his wife now train together too.

What if you live alone? Well, I’m sure you have a friend who would love to train with you. Or, if you have young children, why not train in the backyard with another parent while the children play? You just need some music. The important thing is to have a plan and to make the time to do it. It will be much more fun than doing it on your own.

33. What does the underlined phrase “on board” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．To join you.	B．To wake you up.
C．To like you.	D．To surf with you.

34. The writer learns surfing because ________.

A．it is her favorite sport	B．she was encouraged by her brother
C．Chris introduced it to her	D．she wants to have fun together with Chris
