A new study finds that some new sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding, and mountain biking have caused(造成)more than 4 million injuries(傷害)since 2000. Dr. Vani Sabesan, from the US, did the study with his team.

Sabesan said, “While we’re watching or doing all these new sports, we always talk about the exciting feeling, not about the safety.”

Skateboarding caused the greatest number of head and neck injuries – more than 129,000. Snowboarding, the cold-weather cousin of skateboarding, caused more than 97,000 head or neck injuries. Skiing came third with more than 83,000 injuries.

Sabesan thinks that people should do something. “There are many young kids taking part in the sports, and they’re getting younger all the time. They go 60 miles an hour down a ski hill,” Sabesan said. “They are risking their life! So we need to make sure the kids wear helmets(頭盔). And we need to make sure there are doctors around to prepare for the dangerous situations.”

A.The UK. B.The US. C.Australia. D.China.

2.From the underlined sentence, we can learn ________.

A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.

Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn’t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

Even so, travel isn't that difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can lead you where you want to go, people in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery(風(fēng)光)and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.

Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1, 500 years ago, and built homes there.

Weather makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there's nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.

Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower, little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years This has made arctic(北冰洋的) ice melt(融化).

Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.

Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy's biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be built under the seawater to op the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.

1.Where is Venice?

A.In Italy. B.In Canada. C.In England. D.In America.

2.The best way to travel in Venice is by water, because________

A.117 waterways can make your trip easy

B.you can talk to other people while you go along

C.you can enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights

D.it is not only easy but also you can enjoy yourself better

3.Which is NOT the reason why the city gets lower and lower?

B.Overused underground water

C.Too many waterways

D.The rising seawater

4.The article is mainly about____of Venice

A.the waterways and bridge

B.the MOST project and problems
