In many sports, physical contact 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 on a bus and it makes a sudden stop,” says Dr Kevin Crutchfield, an expert at a sports concussion centre 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 over a 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 concussions. “Protect yourself today so you can play again tomorrow.”

In the summer of 2007, I joined the British Red Cross at 15. After several days of training, I was attending my first event as a fully qualified(合格的) Red Cross volunteer. Our team was providing medical cover for a large martial arts(武术) grading event.
Although I’d passed my first-aid course with flying colours, I was nervous before the event began. There’s quite a difference between the classroom and the real thing! Two experienced adult volunteers would be working with me for the day.
Rosie was taking part in the under-16s event. This was supposed to be non-contact, and she was wearing full protective clothing just in case. All these precautions(预防措施) didn’t help however, when her competitor misjudged a move and delivered a violent blow to her head.
“Guys, we need some help over here!” Over we went, all three of us carrying various bits of kit(工具箱). Rosie was lying on the ground. As we approached we could see she was conscious. Brian, my colleague took the lead.
“Hey there, stay nice and still for me. Chris here is just going to hold your head. Don’t worry; it’s just a precaution.”
I helped, painfully aware that hundreds of sets of eyes were following our every move. However, I soon forgot all about this as I focused on the task at hand.
Rosie was complaining of pain in her neck. These are all classic signs of a possible spinal injury. Quickly, Brian found there were no other injuries and an ambulance was called. I was still holding her head and doing my best to comfort her.
The doctors arrived and we put Rosie carefully into the ambulance for a trip to hospital. Then we went back to the first aid post quickly.
Ten years on I’ve met more people like Rosie—in need of help. I’ve moved on from being a trainee to a trainer, from an inexperienced first aider to being part of an emergency ambulance team.
When a call comes in, that slight feeling of nervousness is still there. However, so is the feeling of making a difference, being there during a painful moment in someone’s life.
5. What does the underlined part “with flying colours” probably mean
A. Slowly. B. Carefully.
C. Poorly. D. Successfully.
6. How was Rosie injured
A. She was hit by mistake.
B. She made a wrong move.
C. She didn’t take precautions.
D. Her competitor hurt her on purpose.
7. How did the author help Rosie
A. She took her to hospital.
B. She checked her injuries.
C. She did something for her pain.
D. She held her head and calmed her.
8. What do we know about the author now
A. She often receives first-aid training.
B. She’s working as a professional doctor.
C. She feels a sense of achievement about her work.
D. She’s no longer nervous when performing first aid.

Juan Heriberto Trevino, a 14-year-old boy from Mexico, was at a summer camp in a mountain last month. 9 While gathering the wood, Trevino slipped and fell down further into a dry river bed. As a result, Trevino was lost, but he was not alone. Max, a kind dog, had followed the teen on his firewood run. 10
The part of the mountain where Trevino and Max were is a place where it was easy to get lost, according to Martin Castillo, deputy director of the local police. “ 11 The child was really very lucky to have the dog,” he said.
Max also led the boy to a puddle(水坑) with water where they could drink. The two walked and walked until they became so tired. 12 The people living there helped them until a rescue crew could arrive. Other than being malnourished(营养不良的) and very tired, the boy was stable physically.
13 He hopes to adopt Max, but he can’t, since the heroic dog already has an owner.
A. Trevino is now back with his family.
B. It’s very cold at night as it is very high.
C. Suddenly, he could not find his way back.
D. Before long, he went off to get some firewood.
E. Nearly two days later, they managed to find a cabin.
F. They were so tired that they had great difficulty walking on again.
G. It didn’t leave the boy until they were rescued more than 40 hours later.
