Перевод заполненного текста:

…что лондонцы действительно могли ходить по льду. Это событие отнюдь не происходило каждый год — в холодные зимы оно случалось лишь в исключительных случаях. Лондон был крупным портом, поэтому невозможность для лодок передвигаться по реке вредила местной экономике. Однако лёд был достаточно толстым, чтобы по нему ходить, и на реке можно было устраивать праздники. Некоторые утверждали, что проводить мероприятие на льду безответственно, поскольку люди могли упасть. Тем не менее эти «морозные ярмарки» — нечто среднее между рождественским рынком и танцевальной вечеринкой — были чрезвычайно популярны и очень выгодны лондонским предпринимателям. Продавали еду и напитки, а артисты, например жонглёры, музыканты и фокусники, развлекали толпу. Согласно подборке исторических записей с подробными описаниями праздника, на льду было множество захватывающих занятий — от катания на санях до игры в боулинг. На морозную ярмарку 1814 года на лёд даже привели слона.

Ответ: 32 exceptionally; 33 harmful; 34 irresponsible; 35 beneficial; 36 entertainers; 37 selection; 38 thrilling.
