T. O. Fuller State Park in Memphis, Tennessee, has been lved fr generatins and has always been a grund where cmmunity has cme first. Back in 1938, it was the first park east f the Mississippi river t pen fr African American visitrs. Over 80 years later, the park is cntinuing its frward-thinking traditin, this time, thrugh a pineering sustainability prject.
A new walking and biking trail has been built thrugh this histric park. Illegally dumped (被丢弃的) tires are nt nly unpleasant t see, but they’re a dangerus additin t the envirnment. Rubber, like plastic, is a material that wn’t naturally decmpse. In a place as ht as Tennessee, these dumped tires ften begin t melt and release these harmful gasses int the air. Frtunately, the ld tires were sent t Patrit Tire Recycling in Bristl, TN, the nly facility in the area that can break dwn tires in an envirnmentally sund way. There, the cllected tires were safely brken dwn int the crumble (碎屑) rubber that was eventually used t pave the new trail.
TN State Parks explained hw the trail’s cnstructin, which has been in develpment since 2019, was a jint effrt. Officials frm the Tennessee Department f Envirnment and Cnservatin, the Tennessee Department f Transprtatin, the City f Memphis, Shelby Cunty, and Memphis City Beautiful were all invlved in funding this recycling prject.
These fficials named their initiative the “Tires t Trails” prject. Wrkers frm these departments, alngside sme 450 vlunteers, came tgether t cllect ver 24, 000 tires that had been illegally dumped in the area arund the park t be recycled.
“This is a perfect example f recycling in full circle, cllecting dumped material, then cnverting it int psitive use,” David, a leader f the prject, said in a statement.

C. It is a park west f the Mississippi river.D. It is a mdern park withut biking trails.
29. Why are dumped tires a dangerus additin t the envirnment?
A. They are ugly t see.B. They release harmful gasses.
C. They are made up f plastic.D. They culd nly be used t pave the new trail.

Is it true that ur brain alne is respnsible fr human cgnitin (认知)? What abut ur bdy? Is it pssible fr thught and behaviur t riginate frm smewhere ther than ur brain? Psychlgists wh study Embdied Cgnitin (EC) ask similar questins. The EC thery suggests ur bdy is als respnsible fr thinking r prblem-slving. Mre precisely, the mind shapes the bdy and the bdy shapes the mind in equal measure.
If yu think abut it fr a mment, it makes ttal sense. When yu smell smething gd r hear amusing sunds, certain emtins are awakened. Think abut hw newbrns use their senses t understand the wrld arund them. They dn’t have emtins s much as needs — they dn’t feel sad, they’re just hungry and need fd. Even unbrn babies can feel their mthers’ heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real wrld, they cry when they’re cld and then get hugged. That way, they start t assciate being warm with being lved.
Understandably, therists have been arguing fr years and still disagree n whether the brain is the nerve centre that perates the rest f the bdy. Older Western philsphers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC therises that the brain and bdy are wrking tgether as an rganic supercmputer, prcessing everything and frming yur reactins.
Further studies have backed up the mind-bdy interactin. In ne experiment, test subjects were asked t judge peple after being handed a ht r a cld drink. They all made warm evaluatins when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than clness. And it wrks the ther way t. In anther study, subjects’ fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in r “rejected” frm a grup task. Thse wh were included felt physically warmer.
Fr further prf, we can lk at the metaphrs (比喻) that we use withut even thinking. A kind and sympathetic persn is frequently referred t as ne with a sft heart and smene wh is very strng and calm in difficult situatins is ften described as slid as a rck. And this kind f metaphrical use is cmmn acrss languages.
Nw that yu have the knwledge f mind-bdy interactin, why nt use it? If yu’re having a bad day, a warm cup f tea will give yu a flash f pleasure. If yu knw yu’re physically cld, warm up befre making any interpersnal decisins.
32. Accrding t the authr, what is the significance f EC?
A. It brings us clser t the truth in human cgnitin.
B. It ffers a clearer picture f the shape f human brain.
C. It reveals the majr rle f the mind in human cgnitin.
D. It facilitates ur understanding f the rigin f psychlgy.
33. Where des the newbrns’ understanding f their surrundings start frm?
A. Their persnal lks.B. Their mental needs.
C. Their inner emtins.D. Their physical feelings.
34. What des the authr intend t prve by citing the metaphrs in Paragraph 5?
A. Human speech is alive with metaphrs.
B. Human senses have effects n thinking.
C. Human language is shaped by visual images.
D. Human emtins are ften cmpared t natural materials.
35. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the last paragraph?
A. T deepen the readers’ understanding f EC.
B. T encurage the reader t put EC int practice.
C. T guide the reader nt the path t career success.
D. T share with the reader ways t release their emtins.

Jacb sat n the grass utside Grandma’s huse. He held a piece f paper. He flded the paper this way and made a pint. Then he flded it that way and this way and made wings. Jacb threw his paper airplane high int the air. It twisted (盘旋) turned and fell t the grund.
Grandma lked up frm her gardening as Jacb flded anther piece f paper. He threw the new plane int the air. It went up, came dwn and bunced ff the grund.
“Yu knw,” said Grandma, “there’s a secret airprt just thrugh thse trees. Want t see?”
“An airprt!” Jacb jumped up. “Near yur huse?” Jacb tk Grandma’s hand, and they fllwed a path thrugh the trees. They stpped when they reached a wide river.
Tik-tik-tik, tik-tik-tik, nises filled the air.
“The airprt sunds busy tday,” said Grandma. She pinted thrugh the trees. “Watch carefully.”
Jacb lked acrss the river. He nly saw trees, n airplanes. He lked int the sky. He nly saw cluds and sunshine.
Raaaawnk!
A large gray-blue bird with wide wings and lng legs swped (猛冲) dwn. It landed in a tree, n sme sticks and branches. A nest!
Jacb lked at the ther trees. There were nests all arund! Anther large bird swped ut frm the trees, just as a new arrival flew in and landed.
“It is an airprt,” said Jacb. “A bird airprt!” “Thse are great blue herns (鹭),” said Grandma. “See the baby chicks?” Jacb saw three little chicks stick their heads ut f a nest. They stretched ut their necks t receive fd frm their parent.
“They might be having fish fr lunch,” said Grandma. After the meal, the hern spread its wings and flew int the air. It flew slightly dwnward at first, and then flew away with large and slw beats f its wings.
“Thse are huge wings,” said Jacb.
“They help the hern travel a lng way t find fd,” said Grandma.
