More than a million kids play on high school teams, but football can be a hazard. The National Football League(NFL) has

16、 acknowledged that almost 30 percent of its players will eventually suffer from brain-related diseases. Thats a lot. A recent study involving 40 former NFL players showed that those who started playing football before age 12 did worse on thinking tests than players who started after age 12. By the w

17、ay, all the tested players scored below average for their age and education.

18、ball is all bad. It helps kids learn teamwork, discipline and how to get into better physical condition. But now that we know that the sport might be dangerous, its time to make some changes in the youth and high school football.First, seasons should be shorter. The high school regular season should

19、 not be more than nine games. Second, kids should not play tackle(擒抱)football too soon.

23、ed having the latest clothes and a particular look. I felt I wouldnt fit in with a certain crowd if I didnt create the right image with my clothes and shoes. As time went by, however, my mothers answer was no longer always “yes” to everything. One day I asked my mother for a little extra money to go

24、 shopping. After giving me a long speech about not spending too much on clothes, she decided to give me a credit card with the intention that I could learn to handle money like an adult. Though she warned me that $150 is the absolute maximum I could spend every month, I thought Id be free. During th

25、e first two months, I only used the card to buy small things. But one day, I bought a pair of boots that cost $250. My mother asked me to give her back the credit card. Once she took my card away,things changed a lot. All the things I wanted seemed out of reach. I knew she wasnt going to give me the

26、 credit card or buy me the expensive things I wanted, and consequently I was in desperate need of a job to support my spending habit. But it was about more than just having the money to support my habit. I also knew my mother was right. Image was everything to me, and image was about having what eve

Yet when asked to use what you have learned, you are not able to remember the info

31、rmation. Not being able to retrieve(数据检索)new ideas could happen on a test or even in a conversation. Sarah Lynn, an educational consultant and teacher, thinks English learners can improve their ability to remember and use new words by testing themselves. She adds that self-testing improves retrieval

32、the ability to use and remember new words. Lynn is not the only expert who recommends self-testing. A paper in Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition says one benefit of testing practice is that it improves retrieval. Retrieving information once makes retrieving that information easier

33、in the future. In addition, the paper says, when students test themselves as part of studying, they learn what they do not know. When students know what they do not understand, they can pay more attention to overcoming their weaknesses. Lynn recommends that learners test themselves by getting away f

34、rom what they are studying. Then, they should test themselves by thinking about what they have learned. She recommends that learners make themselves write or speak something. Lynn suggests reading something or watching a video on the topic, then getting rid of the reading or video material and summa

35、rizing it. This will allow learners to test what they know. Next time you are studying English, try to test yourself. But do not just assume that you can read something once or twice and fully understand it. Even if you highlight important points or take notes in a class, you probably do not fully u

36、nderstand what you learned. After all, Olympic athletes cannot learn how to swim or run just from reading a book. They have to practice swimming or running every day for years. They often compete in races to test their skills.33. What s the common situation faced by English learners?A. They fail to

37、come up with new ideasB. They are not familiar with a certain topicC. They dont learn as well as they thinkD. They dont know how to improve their test-taking skills.34. Which is the advice given by Lynn about self-testing?A. Recall whats learned with the book closedB. Remember whats learned by repet

38、itive recitingC. To warn English learners not to be proud.D. Challenge yourself to learn from videos 35. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Learning actually takes effort most B.
