In many sports, physical contact(身体接触) is part of the game. But when athletes hit their heads, the hit can cause concussions(脑震荡).

Concussions have long been a concern for professional athletes, but they’ve become more common among young players too. Between 2001 and 2009, the number of kids under 19 visiting doctors for concussions each year increased by 62 percent.

Engineers are developing new helmets(头盔), and new rules are limiting physical contact in some sports. But are these efforts enough to protect kids’ brains?

Concussions can happen during many types of activities. But sports like football and soccer are especially risky. When you run or jump, your body is moving at an increased speed. A sudden hit causes you to move faster in a different direction.

“It’s like when you’re in a bus and it makes a sudden stop,” says Dr. Kevin Crutchfield, an expert at a sports concussion center in Baltimore, Maryland. “You hit the inside of the bus.”

This hit damages the brain. It affects the way the brain functions. So some sports require athletes to wear helmets. Helmets help reduce the force of a hit. The hard outer shell spreads the force of larger area. Inside a helmet, a plastic or air-filled lining also helps soften the blow.

Steve Rowson is an engineer at Virginia Tech. In his lab, he tests how helmets hold up against different types of hits. No helmet can prevent concussions completely, says Rowson. But he’s found that when wearing a newer football helmet, the player’s head doesn’t gain speed as much after a hit. That lowers the risk of concussions.

Many youth sports teams have set limits on physical contact to reduce the risk of concussions. In soccer, most concussions happen as a result of headers—shots or passes made with the head. That’s why many people think kids shouldn’t head the ball until high school.

These efforts should help, says Crutchfield. But the best way to prevent long-term brain injuries, he says, is to stop playing immediately if you suffer concussion. “Protect yourself today so you can play again tomorrow.”

1.Concussions among young players ______.

A. are rare before 2001

B. seem extremely worrying

C. cause kids to lose interest in sports

D. are mostly caused by wearing no helmets

2.The author mentions the sudden stop of the bus to _____.

A. stress it’s dangerous to ride buses

B. show human brains are easily damaged

C. give a better explanation of concussions

D. remind people to wear helmets while playing sports

3.What does Steve Rowson think of the newer football helmets?

A. They vary a lot in size.

B. They work better than the old ones.

C. They slow down the player’s running speed.

D. They allow the players to move their heads more freely.

4.Dr. Crutchfield suggests that after receiving a concussion, young players should__.

A. never head the ball

B. avoid dangerous sports

C. play other kinds of sports

D. stop playing the sport for a while

Encouraging life to bloom in the middle of a desert is no easy task. But one company, The National Advisor Bureau, in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a unique plan to provide drinking water for the state’s citizens. The firm intends to pull icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its billions of gallons of fresh water. One iceberg could provide enough for one million people over five years, according to the company. And the scheme could begin as early as the start of 2018.

The firm’s director says they have already travelled the transportation route and used simulators to check the practicality of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Shehi said: “we predict that it will take up to one year to tow (拖拉) an iceberg to UAE.” We have made the technical and financial plan. Towing is the best method. We will start the project in beginning of 2018. “We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”

The UAE is one of the most dry countries and one of the top 10 most water-scarce in the world, due to its extremely dry climate, which receives less than four inches (100 mm) of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years. An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the Abu Dhabi-based company. They take a long time to melt as 80 percent of their mass is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight, reducing its heat. Upon arrival at a specially constructed processing facility, workers will “mine” the icebergs for their water supplies. Blocks of ice will be sliced and placed in giant tanks, before being filtered and processed. “This is the purest water in the world”, Mr Al Shehi added. He also claims the iceberg’s presence could provide a more moist micro-climate in the area, perhaps even prompting rainfall. And the project may prove a boost for tourism if it proves a success, with people travelling to see the unusual sight of an iceberg off the coast of the Arabian Gulf.

1.What is the main purpose of The National Advisor Bureau’s scheme?

A.To boost tourism and ease financial burden in UAE.

B.To save endangered wildlife and boost tourism in UAE.

C.To make drinking water accessible to the people in UAE.

D.To get the purest water in the world for the citizens in UAE.

2.What does the underlined word simulator in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.A type of mining tool to carve out the iceberg.

B.An electronic device to create and store energy.

C.A vehicle to transport the iceberg from Antarctica.

D.A piece of equipment to test potential conditions.

3.Which of the following helps slow down the melting of iceberg during transportation?

A.The special electronic devices to keep the iceberg frozen.

B.The time of processing iceberg before being transported.

C.Much of the iceberg lying under water with ice above reflecting light.

D.The floating of the iceberg in the seawater with a more moist micro-climate.

4.What is the author’s attitude towards the plan?

A.Favorable. B.Cautious. C.Ambiguous. D.Disapproving.
