The park, set t be built in Michigan, will use adaptive methds, such as increasing the size f bstacles, t make it safe and accessible.
"T change the perceptin f the visually impaired, I started my scial media stuff. Sme peple think it's crazy fr a blind peple t skate. It's nt that crazy in my head. I just enjy skating.

Fr a century, Jrdan Creek cut acrss dwntwn Springfield. Over the decades, the stream regularly flded int the city's cmmercial heart. Residents had been tired f the flds s they created cncrete banks t cage the stream and in 1932 buried the waterway, hiding it in culverts.(排 水管)under city streets. It was man's attempt t cntrl fldwater. That was the ld way f thinking.
Fr a while, that cntrlled the flds. But the rads and ther hard surfaces prevented water frm ging int the grund and allwing mre rainwater int the enclsed streams than they culd handle. Eventually, the water wn. The neighbrhd flded in 2000, 2008 and 2016. Fr tw decades, the city discussed freeing the stream and allwing water t run ver the fldplain, Finally, a prject t uncver 1,100 feet f Jrdan Creek and build three bridges is mving frward. The new way f thinking is t give the water sme rm, leave sme areas fr flds and just let nature be nature.
Uncvering buried waterways t bring them back t life is a prcess knwn as "daylighting". Cverings are remved and an attempt is made t restre the natural flw and the surrunding ecsystem.
The primary gal f the prject is fld cntrl. But the wrk has a variety f benefits. Native plantings will help imprve the water quality by filtering (过滤) rainwater. The stream will replace an unsightly landscape and becme a "string f pearls (珍珠)" cnnecting parks and green areas in the city's "Quality f Place" initiative.
The benefits g beynd that. Stream restratin is neighbrhd restratin. The prject may prmte ecnmic develpment and increase prperty values and tax revenue. While the prjects can be expensive, they end cstly maintenance. Returning t nature is cheaper than maintaining cncrete culverts.
28.What did Springfield citizens in the 1930s prbably believe?
A.Man can cntrl nature. B.Life is prir t develpment.
C. Business is the heart f a city. D.Residents shuld nt live by a river.
29.What was ne result f cvering Jrdan Creek?
A.Three bridges were remved. B.Flds hit the neighbrhd.
C.Water went int the grund. D. Rainwater was well handled.
30.Which aspect f the prject des paragraph 4 mainly discuss?
A.Ecnmic value. B.Envirnmental impact.
C. Fld management. D.Cnstructin planning.
31.Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A.A Slutin That Prves a Prblem
B.Old Thinking Inspires New Changes
C."Buried"Streams Turn int Urban Centers
D."Daylighting" Buried Waterways t Refresh Cities

Businesses are nw in cst-cutting mde. Title inflatin(头衔通胀)has crept int the wrkplace. Layffs, hiring freezes and cncerns abut a recessin( 经济衰退 )are plaguing emplyers.
T balance this unique ecnmic envirnment, emplyers have figured ut a way t cmfrt
emplyees and jb applicants withut spending mre mney. They are ffering lfty-sunding (听起来高大上的): titles t sften the blw f nt prviding a raise t internal emplyees r big
cmpensatin t jb candidates.
An emplyee's title is their identity. It gives them credibility in the ffice and makes them feel mre pwerful.9In this sense, the plicy is a sensible way t help retain staff and attract tp
candidates.
But if yu dn't really deserve the new title, it culd cme back and haunt yu. Recruiters (招聘人员) will be pleased t find a candidate wh is a perfect ft fr a significant, well-paying psitin in terms f skills, backgrund, and previus experience. Hwever, a stumbling blck arises when they ntice the candidate has a higher title than the client ffers. Since a recruiter wants t make a placement and earn a fee, they wn't waste time and will seek ut ther candidates wh are a better fit.
Even if the recruiters decide t cntact the candidate, there's a gd chance the candidate
wn't accept. Because mst peple aren't aware that their title was inflated and believe it was a
reward fr their utstanding perfrmance. Understandably, they wuld be ffended if they received a lwer-level pst. Nw that yu are at a certain level, yu dn't want t g backward.
What's mre, if yur current title is t high, it raises red flags. Fr example, when searching
fr a new jb, if yur title is “directr," but the new rle is under that level, the interviewer will.
curiusly inquire,“why d yu want t g dwn in tilt?" There will be a presumptin frm the,
hiring manager that smething isn't right. They may feel that the jb seeker is leaving befre being fired and willing t dwngrade. Rather than trying t figure ut the mtivatins f the ,candidate,they'll mve n t thers wh have a cleaner stry withut any baggage.
32. What des the underlined wrd "plaguing" in paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A.Shcking B.Embarrassing. C.Trubling D.Cnfusing.
33.What can we learn abut emplyees with lfty-sunding titles?
A. Their salaries dn't match their titles.
B.They tend t lk dwn upn thers.
C. Their fear f being fired will disappear.
D.They get a gd platfrm fr develpment.
34.What will a recruiter prbably d if a candidate's title is higher than the client ffers?
A. He will have a discussin with the client.
B. He will cntact the jb applicant immediately.
C.He will nt take the candidate int cnsideratin.
D. He will spare n effrt t knw mre abut the jb applicant.
35.What is hiring managers' attitude twards thse wh chse t dwngrade?
A.Enthusiastic. B.Annyed. C.Appreciative. D.Dubtful.

I lked up frm my desk t see the teacher writing n the bard:"Battle f the Bks!" She smiled and said,"This time it's a teamwrk. Yu're ging t be in teams f tw, and set a reading gal. Every team that meets their gal by the end f the mnth will get a prize!" The lunch bell sunded befre she culd explain any mre rules.
As I gathered my things, Liya passed my desk and said,"Teammates?" Since Liya and I shared the same interest in graphic nvel(漫画小说), and we tk Hindi language class tgether, we teamed up autmatically. I was bth relieved and excited t have my team. Then we gt t the cafeteria and quickly threw ut a bunch f ideas f what t d at ur table.

I knew he was mad fr a reasn. If I were him, nt nly wuld I think that I ranked last in that grup,but I'd als be panicking abut what team I culd jin. But nw, I was n the inside and Kash wasn't.I felt like the nly way t fix this wuld be three peple n a team. S, as the teacher walked by ur table, I asked fr her permissin. What surprised me was that she had intended t draw names t assign randm grups, but didn't get a chance t say it befre lunch.
Awkward and frustrated, we were stuck in this dilemma. Having first teamed up withut Kash didn't mean we didn't like him. I knew we - especially I — wuldn't be able t enjy any prize if ur friend felt bad abut being left ut. S, I decided t d smething t make it up fr him and cnvince Kash he was an equal friend.

Thrilled and inspired, I sprang in frnt f my desk, racked my brains and started drawing a few scenes f three f us giggling, chattering and enjying each ther's cmpany like we usually did. On the last page, I wrte, "Dear Kash, yu are nt the ne left behind. Liya and I are s srry abut the way we messed things up."Pierced t the heart with guilt, I gingerly tucked the paintings int an envelpe hping this wuld be an icebreaker.
The next day, I handed my pages f aplgy t Kash. He tk it, lking surprised at the first sight. After he read it, an expressin f intense jy illuminated his eyes. Blushed, I brke the silence, “I'm srry, dude.
