Yu dn't allw yurself t feel like that in everyday life because there are s many distractins. But when yu' re ut n the bike and there's nthing else, yu' re really free t experience what life is.”
Pst-degree, Fahey wrked n prjects with the UNDP(United Natins Develpment Prject) in Mntenegr with the aim f bringing investment t rural cmmunities.
It was while wrking n these prjects that the seeds were swn fr the next new investment. “It was thrugh my trip acrss Africa that I discvered pannier and rack systems incnvenient and I was never ging t use them again.” Little did she knw this wuld lead her t start up her wn cmpany.

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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. 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.

Asterids (小行星) are believed t have frmed early in ur slar system’s histry — abut 4.5 billin years ag----when a clud f gas and dust called the slar nebula (太阳星云) cllapsed and frmed ur sun and the planets. By visiting these near Earth bjects t study the material that came frm the slar nebula, we can lk fr answers t sme f humankind’s mst arresting questins, such as: Hw did the slar system frm and where did the Earth’s water and ther rganic materials such as carbn cme frm? In additin t unlcking clues abut ur slar system, asterids may prvide clues abut ur Earth. By understanding mre abut asterids, we may learn mre abut past Earth impacts and pssibly find ways t reduce the threat f future impacts.
If we dn’t want t g the way f the dinsaurs smeday, we need t prtect urselves against the threat f being hit by a big asterid. Accrding t NASA, typically abut nce every 10,000 years, a rck y r irn asterid the size f a ftball field culd crash int ur planet and pssibly cause tidal waves big enugh t fld castal areas.
But what we really have t fear is asterids abut 328 feet acrss r bigger. Such an impact wuld cause a firestrm and fill the atmsphere with sun-blcking dust, which wuld wipe ut frests and farm fields and starve the human and animal life that it didn’t immediately kill.
That’s why it’s vital t develp a way t neutralize such a threat t Earth. NASA’s Duble Asterid Redirectin Test, launched in late Nvember 2021, was the first missin t demnstrate a technlgy called asterid redirectin by manmade impactr. A rbtic spacecraft will be crashed int an asterid named Didyms, in an effrt t shw that it’s pssible t slightly change the path f an asterid. That wuld enable NASA t redirect ptential threats t miss Earth.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. Why asterids are t be explred.B. Hw slar system came int being.
C. Hw lng asterids have existed.D. When asterids will impact Earth.
33. Why des the authr mentin dinsaurs in paragraph 2?
A. T make the text mre interesting.B. T intrduce the tpic f the text.
C. T grab readers’ attentin t asterids.D. T shw the disaster frm an asterid impact.
34. Which can best replace “neutralize” underlined in paragraph 4?
A. strengthenB. avidC. beautifyD. realize
35. What can we knw abut asterids?
A. Dinsaurs may live n sme f them.B. They were frmed earlier than Earth.
C. Explring them helps us knw Earth.D. NASA’s Duble Asterid Redirectin Test failed.

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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. What is the authr’s purpse in writing the last paragraph?

Asterids (小行星) are believed t have frmed early in ur slar system’s histry — abut 4.5 billin years ag----when a clud f gas and dust called the slar nebula (太阳星云) cllapsed and frmed ur sun and the planets. By visiting these near Earth bjects t study the material that came frm the slar nebula, we can lk fr answers t sme f humankind’s mst arresting questins, such as: Hw did the slar system frm and where did the Earth’s water and ther rganic materials such as carbn cme frm? In additin t unlcking clues abut ur slar system, asterids may prvide clues abut ur Earth. By understanding mre abut asterids, we may learn mre abut past Earth impacts and pssibly find ways t reduce the threat f future impacts.
If we dn’t want t g the way f the dinsaurs smeday, we need t prtect urselves against the threat f being hit by a big asterid. Accrding t NASA, typically abut nce every 10,000 years, a rck y r irn asterid the size f a ftball field culd crash int ur planet and pssibly cause tidal waves big enugh t fld castal areas.
But what we really have t fear is asterids abut 328 feet acrss r bigger. Such an impact wuld cause a firestrm and fill the atmsphere with sun-blcking dust, which wuld wipe ut frests and farm fields and starve the human and animal life that it didn’t immediately kill.
That’s why it’s vital t develp a way t neutralize such a threat t Earth. NASA’s Duble Asterid Redirectin Test, launched in late Nvember 2021, was the first missin t demnstrate a technlgy called asterid redirectin by manmade impactr. A rbtic spacecraft will be crashed int an asterid named Didyms, in an effrt t shw that it’s pssible t slightly change the path f an asterid. That wuld enable NASA t redirect ptential threats t miss Earth.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. Why asterids are t be explred.B. Hw slar system came int being.
C. Hw lng asterids have existed.D. When asterids will impact Earth.
33. Why des the authr mentin dinsaurs in paragraph 2?
A. T make the text mre interesting.B. T intrduce the tpic f the text.
C. T grab readers’ attentin t asterids.D. T shw the disaster frm an asterid impact.
34. Which can best replace “neutralize” underlined in paragraph 4?
A. strengthenB. avidC. beautifyD. realize
35. What can we knw abut asterids?
A. Dinsaurs may live n sme f them.B. They were frmed earlier than Earth.
C. Explring them helps us knw Earth.D. NASA’s Duble Asterid Redirectin Test failed.
