41、e.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.CJohn was a clever boy, but his parents were poor, and he had to work in his spare time and during his holidays to pay for his education.

American girls are encouraged to pursue-and so, they do well in-competitive track and field, swimming, and diving. Brazil
48、ian girls are encouraged to avoid public activities. In Brazil fewer females swim, drive, and run than is the case in America. Culture standards of attractiveness also affect athletic activities. Americans nm or swim not just to compete but to keep trim(漂亮的) and fit. Brazils beauty standards accept
49、more fat, especially in female buttocks and hips. Years of swimming mold an enlarged upper torso, a massive neck, and powerful shoulders and back.
