III．阅读理解
A
Beth Marinelli is 29 years old, 5 feet 4 inches tall and about 350 pounds. She is not always able to fit herself into theater or restaurant seats, or into train or airplane seats. She has to go specialty(特制品) stores to buy clothes. All of this makes Beth Marinelli very angry. But what angers her most is New Jersey’s mandatory(强制性的) seat belt law.
New Jersey drivers and front seat passengers are required by law to wear seat belts. The problem for Beth Marinelli is that carmakers don’t make seat belts large enough for obese people. As a result, people with weight problems are not required to buckle up(扣上安全带) like everybody else. “Statistics (统计数字) show how much safer it is to be in an accident while wearing a seat belt," says Marinelli. “The lawmakers are saying that if you're fat, you can be free from wearing a seat belt --that it’s OK to die in a car accident.”
Social discrimination(歧视) against the very fat people is very strong, according to Marinelli. She left high school because of constant teasing（取笑）about her weight. But the cruel jokes and comments didn’t end with her youth. She was forced to work as a cook at her brother’s fast food restaurant because her weight discourages employers from hiring her.
One day Marinclli wants to write a book about her life. She’ll call it “Growing Up Fat in America.” She wants to warn young people who are overweight about what’s in store for them, and encourage them to lose weight. “If one 10-year-old fat kid listens to me and says, ‘I don’t want to go through that’, then I’ve succeeded.”
46. According to the passage, which is not one of the difficulties the fat people face?
