This is a true story in Guyana. One day, a child took some silver paper from a cigarette box. He rolled it into a tiny ball and pushed it up his nose. He couldn’t get it out again. He ran crying to his mother. His mother couldn’t get the paper out, either. A week later the paper was still in his nose. His nose began to have a bad smell.

So his mother took his child to the hospital. The doctor looked up his nose. She put a tiny steel rod（钢棒） into his nose and felt the paper. She said she would have to cut his nose to get the paper out.

The child’s mother came home looking sad. She didn’t want her child to have his nose cut. He was a handsome boy and the cut would make him ugly.

Next day, the child’s mother took him to her friend Sidney. Sidney lived in a house with an old woman called May. She asked to see the child, so the child let her look up his nose. He closed his eyes.

“Yes, I can see it,” May said. “It will be out soon!”

As she spoke, she shook black pepper on the child’s nose. He gave a mighty sneeze and the paper flew out. His mother was surprised. May told her to take the boy to the sea for a swim. She said the salt water would go up his nose and stop the bad smell.

So the child didn’t have to go to the hospital and gave his nose cut.

1. How did the silver ball go into the boy’s nose?

A. His mother put it into his nose.

B. The boy himself pushed the ball up his nose.

C. The silver ball rolled into his nose itself.

D. The passage didn’t tell us.

2. Why did the boy’s nose have a bad smell?

A. The ball stayed in his nose for too long.

B. The boy didn't like to wash his nose.

C. His nose is cut and gave a bad smell.

D. Because he had a running nose.

3. In the last paragraph, the underlined word mighty means _____________.

A. 有力的             B. 可能的                  C. 好笑的.      D. 坚硬的

The willful blindness  in hockey toward concussions (头部撞击) has dropped. Hockey Canada has followed the lead of USA Hockey in preventing bodychecking (身体拦截) below age 13. A bad head injury of Sidney Crosby, the hockey's greatest star, opened the eyes of hockey people everywhere. This country's children have been facing similar danger at early ages, and Hockey Canada had to deal with a deep worry in the minds of Canadians to make the rule change. The liking for bodychecking from an early age is part of what makes Canadian hockey what it is.

    The change in rules should be taken as a chance to draw special attention to skill development in an environment free of danger.  It may also control the loss of thousands of young players who don't enjoy that environment.

    For years, many Canadian hockey parents and coaches have insisted that bodychecking at early ages is necessary to ensure that players can do it safely at older ages. True or not, there may be a safer way to teach hitting than to make younger players pay a price for it in head injuries. When USA Hockey changed its rules for the 2011-2012 season, it also created bodychecking-education programs that will be mandatory(强制的) for all coaches,  including those teaching players in  the pre-checking ages. And it began to encourage more "touch" - without real bodychecking - from 9 t0 12. It also made the rules for 13 and up stricter. The USA is trying to show that it's possible to teach hockey protective skills without putting11 and 12-year-olds in greater danger. It's worth the try.

    Hockey Canada has taken serious steps to do away with hits on the head. However, it's hard to change a sports culture so connected with who we are as a country. Too often, bodychecking has been used to try to separate a player from his head rather than from the ball. Children were paying a price for this country's love of the game.

    There are always changes in Canada's game, and the change in the bodychecking age sends the clearest message yet to coaches and parents that player safety is paramount(至上的) in the game.

1.We can tell that the problem of bodychecking in Canada____________.

A. is controlled strictly

B. is taken more seriously now

C. is caused by players' carelessness

D. is connected with players' interest

2.What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 2?

A. The safe ways of controlling the loss.

B. The steps of drawing special attention.

C. The possible results of changing the rules.

D. The methods of improving the environment.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. The USA found a safer way to teach bodychecking.

B. Bodychecking-education programs in the USA are successful.

C. Bodychecking is a good way to value players' skills in the USA.

D. The USA has tried to create an environment of less bodychecking.

4.What is probably the best title' for this passage?

A. Which is more important?

B. How do we change the rules?

C. Why is hockey a dangerous game?

D. When should bodychecking be prevented?
