The willful blindness in hockey toward concussions （头部撞击） has dropped。 Hockey Canada has followed the lead of USA Hockey in preventing body checking (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 body checking 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 body checking 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 body checking-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 body checking — 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 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， body checking 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 body checking age sends the clearest message yet to coaches and parents that player safety is paramount(至上的) in the game.

Assertiveness is the ability to confidently express your opinions， feelings， attitudes, and rights， in a way that doesn’t infringe(侵犯)the rights of others。
Many of us are taught that it is not nice to consider our own needs above those of others. If someone says or does something that we don’t like， we should just be quiet and try to stay away from that person in the future.
Why is Assertiveness important? If you don't know how to be assertive， you might experience：
•Depression - Anger, a sense of being helpless, hopeless, or of having no control over your life。
•Resentment - Anger at others for taking advantage of you。 •Frustration - Why did I allow that to happen？
Most people find it easier to be assertive in some situations than in others. This makes perfect sense。 It's a lot easier to hold your ground with a stranger than with someone you love。 But the more important the relationship is to you， the more important it is to be assertive. Assertive behavior leads to increased respect from others! But before you decide to act assertively， you have to decide if you can live with the results. Although assertive behavior usually will result in a positive response （积极的回应）， some people might react differently.
How to be effectively（有效地)assertive：
• Use \"I\" statements。 Keep the focus on the problem you're having。 ”I'd like to be able to tell my stories without interruption.\" instead of \"You're always interrupting my stories！\"
• Use facts, not opinions。” Did you know that shirt has a hole?” instead of \"You’re not going out looking like THAT， are you？” • Express ownership of your thoughts， feelings， and opinions. ”I get angry when he breaks his promises。 ”instead of ”He makes me angry。 ”
• Make clear and direct requirements。 Don't invite the person to say no. ”Will you please?” instead of “Would you mind…？” or “Why don’t you…？”
• Keep repeating your point。 Use a low level and pleasant voice。 Don’t try to explain yourself.
（1)53. The writer probably agrees that____________。
A。 you should consider others’ response before you act assertively B. you should be assertive if you want to get good marks C。 assertiveness is the ability to infringe others’ rights。 D。 assertive behavior will bring you bad feelings
(2)54. The expression \"hold your ground\" probably means “_________________” A。 reach an agreement B。 insist on your point C。 keep your word D。 keep on fighting
(3）55. Which of the following helps you to be effectively assertive？ A. Explaining yourself in a soft and sweet voice. B. Expressing ownership of others’ thoughts. C。 Making requirements directly and clearly。 D。 Using your opinions instead of facts. 3、

New Technology Revolutionizes(变革） Learning
More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning。 Today， such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses， including language， history and science。
Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom。 Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos， students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.
The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it， so they can save time for doing other things。 Other students， however， might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is
especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces。
The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy。 They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn （such as listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative。
There are other advantages for students. By using iPads， they can pay more attention to the material and learn more。 Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find 。Some students spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus， instead of having to wait until I get home,\" a student explained。
Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to
cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other。 If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face—to-face communication with others.
However， technologies are already a part of most students’ day—to-day lives。 As for cheating， teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams。 Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part。 We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom。
（1)53。 What does the expression “at their own pace\" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A. According to their own timetable。 B. Without their teachers' help.
C。 Because of their wonderful goals. D. Against their parents' hope。
(2）54. From the passage we can learn that____________. A. students with iPads have less discussion in class B。 students get more fun from learning with iPads C. iPads help students save time waiting for buses D. iPads prevent students from cheating in exams
（3）55。 The writer probably agrees that_____________. A. teachers can take control of students’ learning B。 exam results depend a lot on now technology C。 technology in education has a bright future D。 note-taking is as helpful as video-watching 4、

Teens want structure in their lives, which means they want their lives well—planned。 To begin building structure, teens need love and trust。 They need to know their parents are there to give them needed love and support （支持). Teens want to be sure that nothing can prevent parents from shouldering their responsibility for them — not their growing maturity （成熟)， misbehavior, nor anger at something they have done。 Teens want parents to keep control while allowing them to make some decisions。
There are some ways you can help your teens create reasonable structure and remain close。 One way is to spend time together。 Parents often mistake their teens' increased interest in friends for a disinterest in the family.
Teens would like to spend more time doing things with their parents, but watching TV is not counted as spending time together。 As your teens mature, it is important you and your teens spend time alone together， one to one。 Your teens need time to talk to you alone without any other family member present。
Talk with your teens about their interests and concerns。 Make sure you really show interest in what is happening。 When talking with your teens， give full attention and do not stop them。
The way to help your teens become adults is to let your teens into your world。 Sharing your emotions and concerns with you teens is important。 Avoid causing needless worry.
Trust your teens。 Don’t expect the worst。 Hope for the best。 Telling your teens you don’t like their friends will cause the teens not to bring their friends home. If something should go wrong, believe that your teens didn’t do it on purpose.
It is very important that you treat your teens with respect。 Teens need the same respect adults show for total strangers。 Don’t talk down to your teens.
You need to be supportive of your teens。 What may be a small problem to you may be troubling to your teens。 Teens don’t have the experiences that adults have had. Let the teens know that you understand how much it hurts when something happens that is upsetting or hurtful to them. As they mature， they can look back at some problems they had and laugh at having been upset by something that now seems unimportant.
The most important things to remember are： talk with your teens， listen to their worries and offer suggestions when needed. This will help your teens to live well—organized life。

Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom？ Or in a waiting room full of strangers？ Or on a bus？ Researchers have found out some interesting facts.
Perhaps unsurprisingly， we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near。 But it goes further than this。 We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses。 People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair。
We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitudes and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even， we think we may be safer with people who look like us。 Sometimes that`s true but it`s a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group。 The danger in always staying in our comfort zone （舒适区) is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas . We lose the chance to learn something new， find out about interesting things， hear funny stories and discover differences。
When we always stick to the same people， how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas？ And how can we avoid the ignorance(无知） which too often leads to prejudice （偏见） and even fear？ If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons。
Move out of your comfort zone。 Go and sit next to someone different. And don`t just sit there in silence。 Say hello。 Ask a question。 Start a conversation. That`s how we make friends。 That`s how we learn about people. That`s how we open our minds to new ideas. That`s how we live an exciting life。
（1)53。 From the passage， we know that people prefer sitting by someone who __________
A. is like themselves
B。 has a sense of humor C。 is open –minded D。 lives an exciting life
（2）54. People like staying in their comfort zone because they may __________ A。 remain comfortable and special B。 be accepted easily and feel safe C。 find out more interesting things
D. discover differences among themselves
（3）55。 What is the purpose of the passage？ A。 To tell us just to be ourselves in social life。 B。 To introduce ways to learn about the world。
C。 To explain how people communicate with others。 D。 To encourage us to meet people of different kinds。
