The students’ ?___38　 ranged from 20g to 500g.

“It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you 　39　 it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour , I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it 40　 a day, you will have to call an ambulance(救护车). It is the exact same weight, but the 41　 I hold it, the heavier it becomes.
