sport,except baseball,posted a decline,USA Football said on Monday,citing(引用)the findings of a survey of 30,000 children and teenagers.Participation in flag football(a no-tackle type of football)increased by 8.7 percent among children aged 6 to14,while tackle football rose by 1.9 percent.For that age group,the only other sport that grew was baseball,witha 3.3 percent increase.In the

football,where medical researchers have warned about the risk of concussions(damagestothe brain caused by violent blows to the head)and death linked to brain injury.USA Football,anIndianapolis,Indianabased nonprofit funded in part by the National Football League,believedthat the increases resulted from better safety and health education.Football participation

history,breaking the recordpreviously set in 2018.After the fire,land managers must determine where to most efficiently plant new trees.A predictive mapping model called the Postfire Spatial Conifer Restoration Planning Tool recently described inEcological Applications could inform these decisions,saving time and expense.The tool can“show where youngtrees are needed most,where the forest isnt going to come back on its own,where we need to intervene（干预）if we want to maintain forests,says lead author Joseph Stewart,an ecologist at the University of California,Davis.To develop the model,Stewart and his colleagues classified data collected from more than 1,200 study plotsin 19 areas that burned between 2004 and 2012.They combined these data with information on rainfall,geography,climate,forest composition and bum severity.Theyalso included how many seeds sample conifer trees（针叶树）produced in 216locations over 18 years,assessing whether the trees release different numbers ofseeds after a fire.Thetools potential benefitsaresignificant,says KimberleyDavis,aconservation scientist attheUniversityofMontana,who was not involved in the study.Those managers will still have to make hard decisions,such as which species to plant in areas that may experience warmer and drier conditions resulting from climatechange,but the model provides some research-based guidance to help the forests recover.8.What challenge do land managers face after the wildfire?A.Lack of wood supplies.B.Where to plant new trees best.C.How to save the burned trees.D.Loss of trees and wild animals.9.Whats the main idea of paragraph 2?A.The function of the tool.B.The disadvantages of the tool.C.The improvement of the tool.D.The development of the tool.10.What does the underlined
