Passage TwoQuestions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29-31 In America, self-improvement is a national pastime. Every year, more and more Americans spend their leisure time trying to improve themselves one way or another. One popular form of self-improvement is the search for physical fitness. Thousands of Americans who never exercised are now out on the streets jogging in fashionable running suits and expensive sneakers. They boast of how many miles they run each day and of how many pounds they lose each week. Others are turning to swimming, tennis, dance, and the martial arts to improve their physical fitness. Instead of running around the park in the morning or evening, other Americans are studying yoga or are meditating quietly in their homes. They are seeking to improve themselves by finding peace and tranquility. Adult education is another form of self-improvement. After a hard day’s work, many Americans take evening courses at a local high school or college. There they can study a variety of subjects. Often these people are preparing to return to the job market or trying to qualify themselves for better jobs. A mother busy raising her children might attend night school to learn secretarial skills. A secretary might return to study accounting. Some retired people go back for the education they missed at an earlier age.What’s the second form of self-improvement mentioned by the speaker （） A. Studying yoga. B. Adult education. C. Playing tennis. D. The search for physical fitness.

D When he was nine years old, an American boy called Milo Cress had a question: How many plastic straws (吸管) do Americans use every day？ He quickly learned there wasn't a simple answer. The boy tried to find it out himself. Through lots of research, Cress found out that Americans use about 500 million straws every day. In hopes of cutting down plastic waste, he founded the Be Straw Free project in 2011. Cress started the project in his hometown Burlington, Vermont. He asked a local restaurant to stop offering straws with every drink order. It was a simple change. However it would save money. And by doing that, the restaurant would cut down on its straw use by 50 percent. For the year that followed, Cress tried to spread his project across the United States. More and more restaurants agreed to join. They stop providing the customer with a straw unless he or she asks for one. Last April, Seattle became the first American city to completely ban plastic straws. After his project became popular, Cress took his findings on the road. He has spoken to tens of thousands of students around the world. He wants to encourage more people to say no to plastic straws. "Focusing on straws is one simple step we all could take," Cress says.
