Passage 10(2013 北京，D)

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 slar,opened the eyes of hockey people everywhere. This country’s children have been facing similar danger at early ages,and HockeyCanadahad 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! en?joy that environment.

For years,many Canadian hockey parents and coaches have in- sisted 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”一without real bodychecking—from 9 to 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 putting 11 and 12- year-olds in greater danger. worth the try.

HockeyCanadahas 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 love of the game.

There are always changes inCanada'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 inCanada .

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 theUSAare successful.

C. Bodychecking is a good way to value players’ skills in theUSA.

D .TheUSAhas tried to create an environment of less bodycheck-

ing.

阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后的表格中填人恰当的单词，每空一同。

Much meaning can be conveyed (传送) with our eyes,so it is of- ten said that eyes can speak. Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger,but nol too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared (盯） at,he may feel uncoinfortalDle.

The same is in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary,you will look at yourself up and down lo see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong,you will feel angry toward others 1 stare at you that way.Eyes do speak,right?

Looking too long at someone may seem lo be impolite and even rude.But things are differenl when it conies to staring at the opposite sex.If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn his eyes away from the woman,his purpose is obvious.That is,he wishes to attract her attention,to make her understand lhat he is admiring her.

However,ihe normal eye contact for two people during a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time,in order to make sure that the listener is paying attention to what the speaker is speaking.

If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking,as if he tries to control you,you will feel uncomfortable.A poor liar (说谎者) usually looks too long at the victim,because he believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.

In fact,continuous eye contacl only happens between two lovers,who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time,to show feelings that words cannot express. Obviously,eye contact shtjuld be done according to the relationship between two people and the proper situation.
