All my life I had wanted a dog. I had two cats that I adored like children, but I still wanted the company of a dog. Then unfortunately I lost my cats. Soon came another shock that my husband left me forever because of lung cancer. I felt I had just lost everything that ever mattered to me.

I voiced these feelings to a friend, who took me to a pet store. The store was holding an adoption day with shelters. I looked at and held several puppies (小狗) ，wondering which to choose. Then I met Maggie. She looked at me with the saddest eyes I had ever seen, then laid her head on my shoulder and slept. I immediately decided to save her!

Maggie adjusted well. I，however, was still adjusting. One night, thoughts of losing everything rushed through my head again. So depressed was I that I felt the only solution was to end my life. With a bottle of medicine in one hand and Maggie on my lap, I took the pills. Through my tear-filled eyes I looked down at Maggie to tell her I was sorry. The look on her face I will never be able to explain. Ifs as if her eyes said，“Don ’t leave me; I need you just as you needed me.” It was then that 1 ran to the bathroom to vomit up the pills. The rest of the night I sat on the couch holding Maggie and thanking her for saving me.

Soccer is not a violent game. But players can hit the ball with their head to purposely change the direction of the ball. In the sport this move is known as a header. Unfortunately, they may sometimes crash into other players, the ground or goal posts. During the World Cup semifinal soccer match in Sao Paulo, Brazil, July 2014，Netherlands ，Dirk Kuyt went for a header with Argentina ’s Javier Mascherano and Ezequiel Garay, making his competitors injured in head.

Catherine McGill is a neuropsychologist (神经心理学家）at the Children’s National Health System in Houston. She examines many children who have suffered concussions (脑震荡) ，which are the most common brain injury. She says concussions from soccer and other youth sports are increasing.

“Firstly ，parents, coaches, and medical providers alike are getting better at recognizing and responding to the injury, and it，s a huge proof to media paying more attention to this and leagues (联队）paying more attention to the safety of their players. Also, kids are getting bigger, faster, stronger across the sports, and so more injuries may be occurring simply because of that . ”

Catherine McGill spoke at a recent conference on ways to make soccer safer for young

players which was held recently in New York. She says researchers are examining the effects of soccer-related head injuries. They want to know whether repeated hits to the head can cause CTE, which is a brain disorder that worsens as a person ages.

She says parents often ask what age children should start “heading ” or whether there should be “heading ” at all. She thinks it，s a very individual decision. The age for one child may be quite different from another.

A.a league leader B. a soccer player C. a doctor D. a coach

A.Young soccer players are stronger and swifter nowadays.

B.Parents are getting better at dealing with head injuries.

C.Media are paying more attention to such injuries in sports.

D.Leagues are more concerned about the safety of their players.

30.What can we learn from Catherine McGill’s research? A.Heading is a common move for players in soccer matches.

B.Children can start heading at any age in playing soccer.

C.CTE is mainly caused by soccer-related head injuries.

D.Concussions from soccer and other youth sports are on the rise.

31.What ’s the main purpose of the passage?

A.To entertain us with exciting soccer matches.

B.To warn us of something dangerous in sports.

C.To inform us of risks of heading in soccer.

D.To share ways to make soccer safer for children.

D

With the press of a button, a person with severe spinal cord (脊柱）injuiy is able to walk again, thanks to the Walking Assistive Exoskeleton Robot (WAER).

Powered suits that could help paralyzed (瘫痪）people walk and others lift and carry

th heavy loads with ease have been a dream since late 19 century. But they can realize

st their dreams in the 21 century.

The 20-kilogram robot has four battery-powered motors that can run for up to three hours. Inventor Wu Chenghua, from Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute, says it has successfully been in tests on 12 patients. “We have learned from our research process that patients whose injuries are below the fourth chest joint (关节）are able to use our robot to stand, walk and sit down,” he said.

Since walking contributes to muscle exercise, Wu says patients receive some additional benefits. “In the clinical process, we would check their bone mineral density (密度) ，and we found that the bone mineral densities of these patients had been improved. ” he said. Wu says his exoskeleton may be available for consumers by 2018.

Meanwhile, baggage handlers at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport will soon start testing a similar robot, developed by the Japanese firm Cyberdyne. The battery-powered robot weighs only 3
