When yu walk n a sandy beach, it takes mre energy than striding dwn a sidewalk — because the weight f yur bdy pushes int the sand. Turns ut, the same thing is true fr vehicles driving n rads. The weight f the vehicles creates a very shallw indentatin (凹陷) in the pavement (路面) — and it makes it such that it’s cntinuusly driving up a very shallw hill.
Jeremy Gregry, a sustainability scientist at and his team mdeled hw much energy culd be saved — and green-huse gases avided — by simply stiffening (硬化) the natin’s rads and highways. And they fund that stiffening 10 percent f the natin’s rads every year culd prevent 440 megatns f carbn dixide equivalent emissins ver the next five decades — enugh t ffset half a percent f prjected transprtatin sectr emissins ver that time perid. T put thse emissins savings int cntext — that amunt is equivalent t hw much CO2 yu’d spare the planet by keeping a billin barrels f il in the grund — r by grwing seven billin trees — fr a decade.
The results are in the Transprtatin Research Recrd.
As fr hw t stiffen rads? Gregry says yu culd mix small amunts f synthetic fibers r carbn nantubes int paving materials. Or yu culd pave with cement-based cncrete, which is stiffer than asphalt (瀝青).
This system culd als be a way t shave carbn emissins withut sme f the usual hurdles. Usually, when it cmes t reducing emissins in the transprtatin sectr, yu’re talking abut changing plicies related t vehicles and als driver behavir, which invlves millins and millins f peple — as ppsed t changing the way we design and maintain ur pavements. That’s just n the rder f thusands f peple wh are wrking in transprtatin agencies. And when it cmes t retrfitting (翻新) ur streets and highways — thse agencies are where the rubber meets the rad.

A. T present a fact.B. T make a cntrast.
C. T explain a rule.D. T share an experience.
13. What suggestin des the authr give t reduce CO2 emissins?
A. Hardening the rad.B. Keeping il in the grund.
C. Grwing trees fr decades.D. Imprving the transprtatin.

In Stressful Times, Make Stress Wrk fr Yu
These are stressful times. Frtunately, we can actually use that stress t imprve ur health and well-being. Over a decade f research suggests that it’s nt the type r amunt f stress that determines its impact. ____16____
Step 1: Acknwledge Yur Stress
Labeling yur stress cnsciusly and deliberately mves neural activity frm the amygdala — the center f emtin and fear — t the prefrntal crtex, which is respnsible fr executive cntrl and planning. In ther wrds, when we take a mment t acknwledge ur stress, it mves us frm perating frm a fearful, reactive place t a psitin where we can be thughtful and deliberate. ____17____
Step 2: Own Yur Stress
The next step is t welcme, r “wn” yur stress. We nly stress abut things that we care abut. ____18____ Try cmpleting this sentence abut whatever was specifically stressing yu ut in step ne: “I’m stressed abut…because I deeply care abut…”
Step 3: Use Yur Stress
Cnnecting t the cre values behind yur stress sets yu up fr the third and mst essential step: using r leveraging stress t achieve yur gals and cnnect mre deeply with the things that matter mst.
Ask yurself: Are yur typical respnses in alignment with the values behind yur stress? ____19____
There’s s much happening right nw that we can’t cntrl. ____20____ Sme psychlgists argue that true transfrmative change can ccur nly during stress r crises. The trick is t channel yur crnavirus stress as energy t make the mst f this time.
A. Think abut hw yu might change yur respnse t this stress t better facilitate yur gals and yur purpse.
B. Yu can release stress frm the past and mre with emtinal fcus techniques.
C. By wning ur stress, we cnnect t the psitive mtivatin r persnal value behind ur stress.
D. But — as many peple are nticing — there are als unprecedented pprtunities amid the fear.
E. Instead, it’s ur mind-set abut stress that matters mst.
F. But later, we will be able t ask urselves hw we each respnded t this crisis.
G. This step is als an pprtunity t understand what’s at the heart f yur persnal stress r anxiety.
