16．

    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 deepworry 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 2011-2012season，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 9t0 12．It also made the rules for 13and up stricter．The USA is trying to show that it's possible to teach hockey protective skills without putting11and 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．

56．We can tell that the problem of bodychecking in CanadaB．
A．is controlled strictly
B．is taken more seriously now
C．is caused by players'carelessness
D．is connected with players'interest
57．What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 2？C
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．
58．What can we learn from the passage？D
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．
59．What is probably the best title'for this passage？A
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？

15．Some time ago，an old businessman had a large store in Boston．He wanted a boy to work for him，and he put an advertisement in the newspaper．The next morning，many boys came to the old man's office，asking for the job．
There was a post（柱子）by his desk，and there was a nail（钉子）in it．He took a walking-stick and said，"Everyone has three chances．If anyone can hit the nail on the head with this stick more than once，I will give him the job．"
The boy thought it was very easy．They all tried，but nobody could make it．So the old man said，"I'm sorry I can't take any of you．"And they left．
He kept the advertisement in the papers，and the next morning many more boys came，and among them he saw a thin boy who had been there the day before．The boy hit the nail successfully for three times．The old man felt surprised and asked how he did that．
"Yes，"said the boy，"I failed yesterday，but I thought that if I kept on trying a while，I could do it．So I went home and practiced hitting a nail with a stick till I could do it，and I got up very early this morning，and tried again．"
The old man said，"You are the boy for me，"and gave him the job．Whatever the boy had to do，he tried to do his best．It was not very long before he became the best clerk in the store．

66．Did the thin boy get the job at last？Yes，he did．
67．What did the old man have in Boston？A large store．
68．Where did the boy practice hitting a nail？At home．/In his home．

14．

     Learning about the environment is very important．There are many good books that will help you learn．To get started，ask your teacher or a librarian for some suggestions．You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change．Climate change may be a big problem，but there are many little things we can do to make a difference．
    Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong．We just have to be smart about it．Some people use less energy by carpooling．For example，four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work．Whenever we use electricity，we put greenhouse gases （气体） into the air．By turning off lights，the television，and the computer when they aren't needed，you can help a lot．    Don't buy products that use too much energy．Some products，like certain cars，are made specially to save energy．These cars can travel longer on a smaller amount of gasoline．They don't pollute as much，either．Products like computers，TVs，and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label （标签）?are made to save energy．Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment．
    Buy recyclable products instead of non-recyclable ones．Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used．It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones．So when you go shopping，look for the recycle mark on the package-three arrows that make a circle．The less energy we use，the better．

10．It is good to keep animals in zoos．Zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world．Without zoos，most people would never see a real tiger or bear．Secondly，zoos look after the animals very well．The animals are always given food and cleaned on time．In the wild，it is not always possible for an animal to find food，so sometimes it goes hungry．Thirdly，zoos protect the animals．They offer them safe places to live in．In the wild，some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct．But zoos give these animals a chance to live．Without zoos，there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world．
However，some people think it is unnatural and unfair to keep wild animals in cages．Most animals are kept in cages that are too small for them．The animals such as bears and tigers always look sad in cages．Wild animals should look for their own food．Anyone would not feel happy if he isn't allowed to go outside his home and animals don't like it，either．
