With around applause, nine students hugged Santos, and two burst into tears.Yet, cancelling class was not just a break.

Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions (脑震荡) serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can put their health at further risk，” said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck, Jr., M. D， in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctors written approval. The policy also sets agespecific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤的) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull (颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreationrelated activities occur in the US. every year.

They also help each other out whenever theres trouble.Personality, just as among people, varies among trees. Some are anxious, some bold. On the authors land, there are three oak trees growing close together. One of the oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others. Since they all experience the same temperature, the same soil and the same length of day, such variables cant be the explanation. So whats happening? Well, this tree is simply more careful than the others. Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more photosynthesis(光合作用) and store more nutrients. However, the longer a tree keeps its leaves, the higher the risk of injury.Not only do trees make their own decisions, they also learn from their mistakes. A tree, for example, keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this mistake again. This leads to several other conclusions：trees must notice the temperature and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere. Obviously, trees dont have brains, but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep track of information and experiences.But trees arent only clever when it comes to caring for themselves. They also support each other whenever theres trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients. For example, one time the author found a very old tree stump. Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil. But the wood on the outside of the stump was still living. How was this possible? Well, the stump was nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system, and had been for at least 400 years! Why do trees do_such_a_thing? Its simple: its better together. Trees need the forest; it protects them from storms, provides the right microclimate and warns them of attacks.12Why does the author mention the three oak trees?ATo illustrate trees can learn from experiences.BTo show trees can make independent decisions.CTo explain trees are quite supportive to each other.DTo prove trees have the same personalities as humans.13According to the text, which of the following best describes general features of trees?AAnxious and bold. BSmart and adventurous.CHelpful and well behaved. DAdaptable and supportive.14What does the underlined phrase “do such a thing” mean?AGive warnings. BOffer assistance.CDepend on others. DProvide nutrients.15Where does this text most probably come from?AA public lecture. BA science book.CAn experiment report. DA travel journal.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Apologizing the Right Way to a Friend2019合肥市第一次质量检测 Why are apologies so difficult?
