22、For the last several months, in the midst of a bitter cold Northeast winter, teenager Michael Ferrara, has been running on the side streets of New Jersey. Ferrara’s water bottle continually freezes over, his legs and arms sometimes hurt due to the cold temperatures, and the fear of hitting black ice sits in the back of his mind as he runs. However, it hasn’t stopped him from training for the 50-mile Pistol Creek Ultra-Marathon to raise money for VetREST.
Last year, Ferrara teamed up with the nonprofit after meeting its CEO, Robert F. Vicci, who retired from the military after 34 years. The nonprofit is focused on helping veterans (老兵) while providing farming opportunities “in safe and supportive environments where they can achieve wellness themselves and produce healthy food for our nation”. Their mission resonated (共鸣) with Ferrara who’s been helping homeless veterans for over four years through various initiatives.
He also ran the Marine Corps Marathon in 2021 to Houses for Warriors, a Colorado-based nonprofit that helps get homeless and at-risk warriors off the streets. But after running that race, the high school student wanted to do more. In November 2021, he started his 20-week training programme in preparation for the night race that will take place in Alcoa, Tennessee on March 19.
“I really do want to help the veterans of our country,” he said. “They have put their blood, sweat and tears into fighting for our freedoms and for them to end upon the streets I think is totally unacceptable.”
“Normally, the organization works with veterans to find out what the root cause of their PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) in order to not only give them guidance on what else can be done to help them, but if we can put the money in places that will help them get through their situation, we find that is the best cure,” he continued.

23、 In a city where tall buildings can make one feel closed in, Bryant Park offers open space for citizens and tourists to relax. In a tiny section of the park, a close community comes together at The Tables. These free outdoor ping pong tables attract individuals (个体) who share a love of the sport. People of various ages,backgrounds and skill levels became friends first, then the family.
The Tables are available to the public beginning at 11 a. m. with paddles and balls provided by the park. Regulars start to show up around 4 p. m. with their own paddles in hand, ready to dominate (主导). Matches become more competitive—doubles on one table and singles on the other—and winners are able to stay on a table until they are defeated. Those waiting their turn can be seen practicing on the sidelines,eagerly watching the game or joyfully greeting returning friends.
Deeper than the healthy competition and love for the sport is a sense of belonging and inter-generational friendship and trust among the regular players. They come to have fun, connect, relieve stress and “feel alive”. What began as a marketing tool for a local ping pong center unexpectedly grew into the community it is today.
Inspired by the diversity of players and the community they developed, Jon Bunning made a documentary called The Tables to share their story. “I just found it really fascinating that a homeless person could play as equals with a successful Wall Street banker,” says Bunning. “That's one thing I think all, humans share. We all want to belong to something, or have a place to feel like you fit in and belong there.”
【1】What attracts people to come together at The Tables?

B.The Tables developed the economy of the community.
C.A sense of belonging, proves more attractive to regular players.
D.A local ping, pong center purposely turned the players into a community.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
