Activity 2 Read the passage and choose the correct words.
It is a well-known fact that / what the faces some people show to the world might be completely different to their real personalities. For instance, most comedians have permanent smiles on their faces and always sound cheerful because that’s the nature of their work. From this, it’s impossible to know what / where their true feelings are. Although they might be laughing on the outside, they might be crying on the inside.That / How others are feeling is not something that we should make assumptions about, because it’s not always obvious who is truly happy. What / That is certain is that comedians often use comedy to help them understand themselves and the world. In fact, comedy is a very serious job indeed!
Ma Xu became a military doctor in 1947.
She applied to become a paratrooper in 1961, but her first application failed because there were no female paratroopers at that time. Ma was only 1.53 metres tall and weighed just 37.5 kg. But she learnt to parachute by training hard in secret. After Ma proved that she could jump as well as anyone else, her application was successful.

Ma Xu is a famous paratrooper. What impress me most are her courage, skill and determination. Though she applied to become a paratrooper in 1961, what made her first application fail was that there were no female paratroopers. What she learnt from this failure was to parachute by training hard in secret.
