Some sports injuries, such as broken bones and tom ligaments（韧带）, are serious. These injuries may require surgery. But more 26 sports injuries are things like injured ankles and pulled muscles. These 27 injuries are often treated at home using the P.R.I.C.E. method.P.R.I.C.E. is a handy way to remember five easy treatment steps. P and R stand for protection and rest right after an injury. Some light activity or exercise can help speed up your 28 after resting. But the injured area must stay 29 from further damage.C stands for compression. Compression just means wrapping the injury in something such as an elastic bandage （弹性绷带）. And the E means you should elevate the 30 part of your body above your heart. These two steps control swelling （肿胀）. Swelling is important because it increases the blood flow to the injured area and it is a normal part of the healing process.

And some doctors say that it takes the healing 35 more time to recover. Only ice an injury for five to ten minutes at a time. Then wait at least 20 minutes before icing it again. Remember to wrap an ice pack in a small towel before putting it on your skin. And there is no reason to apply ice if your injury is more than six hours old. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Hard work is often the only competitive advantage many people possess. We may not be as experienced or as 36 as other people.But we can always work harder, smarter and longer.As Kara Lawson-the Duke women's basketball team head coach-says, generally speaking, there's a huge 37 between working hard and competing.Plenty of people work hard. But what is the best praise you can receive or give?You competed. 38 Lawson, most people mistake hard work for competitiveness:“Hard work is I give you a task. I give you limitations on some task. I say, You have to do this, in this amount of time, with this much weight. And then I force you to do it. I can force you to work hard just by what I ask you to do. You can't force someone to 39 .”The difference might seem amazing. Hard work requires effort and so does competing.But working hard doesn't automatically mean 40 improvement. I can put in countless hours of effort without ever trying to “win.”As Lawson says to her players:“At the end of every session, that's the question you're asking yourself: Did I compete today?That's different than working hard. Working hard is something some people do. Many people work hard in whatever job they do. Before you start, and then when you're done, be 41 with yourself: Did I compete today?”When you think you're 42 , when you think you've done all you can, remember: You always find a little more inside you. You are capable of more than you think. Dig deep. Work a little harder.When you're on the downside（劣势）of 43 and reaching a goal feels impossible, don't just work hard.Compete: Make the extra phone call. Do the extra preparation. And remember to offer to not just tell 44 what to do but show them and then work beside them.Every day, compete: to be the best boss you can be, the most empathetic（同理心的） listener you can be. Whatever it is, compete.Competing will make you an even 45 “you” than you are today.And that's the only competition that really matters.36. A. devotedB. satisfiedC. talentedD. excited37.

But he showed a remarkable talent for printmaking, which at the time was the main method of illustrating books. This art form involved carving an image into a block of wood, inking the wood and then pressing it against paper or cloth. Durer's skillful carving and printing resulted in beautiful prints. His decision to become a printmaker rather than a goldsmith disappointed his father but benefitted Durer throughout his adult life.From time to time, deadly diseases broke out in Durer's home town of Nuremburg, Germany. This danger was one reason why Durer decided to leave Nuremburg twice to visit Italy. He was also fascinated by Italy's Renaissance culture. While there, he absorbed Italian philosophy, science and artistic techniques. He also served as official court artist to two Holy Roman Emperors, Maximilian I and Charles V.Durer was extremely diligent regarding the details of his artwork as evidenced in his nature pieces. These include Young Hare, which correctly captures the energy of a hare even while it is sitting sill, and Rhinoceros which was so correct that it was included in scientific documents for years.The same attention to details can be seen in Durer early self-portraits. The first one that he made at age 13 shows a young boy with childish features. A second self-portrait that he made at age 22 displays a more mature individual who has a greater sense of himself. In a self-portrait done at age 26, he is a finely dressed gentleman, reflecting his rise in status within the printmaking community.46. What does this article imply about the young Durer?A. He dreamed of becoming a well-known author.B. He provided instruction to youngsters that he knew.C. He learned how to run a small publishing firm.D. He succeeded in mastering a three step process.47. Where can Durer's attention to details be seen?A. In his financial agreements with other peopleB. In the loving care that he gave to his familyC. In his accurate images of living creaturesD. In the social activities that he arranged48. According to the article, what do the self-portraits reveal about Durer?A. His excellence as a personB. His interest in technologyC. His physical limitationsD. His strong love of travel(B)The lives of sea turtles begin on a beach when hatchlings crawl up out of their sandy nests and try to get to the sea as fast as they can. Those that aren't eaten by killers on their way to the water swim out into the ocean until they find somewhere they can hide, eat and grow.Ten to fifty years later, depending on the species, the sea turtles mate in shallow waters. Then the females return to the same beach where they were born to lay their eggs, and the cycle begins again.SAVE ENDANGERED SEA TURTLES!Here's how YOU can make a difference!1. Only buy ethically harvested seafood.Seafood Watch. org's app will help you choose seafood providers who don't harm sea turtles.2. Use reusable bags and water containers. Reduce your use of plastics and refuse to use plastic bags, disposable straws and water bottles.3. Volunteer for beach clean-up activities.Help make our coastlines safer for sea turtles by removing harmful garbage like plastic bags and disposable straws.4. Clear the beach of obstacles at night.Remove chairs and sandcastles and tum off any lights so sea turtles can more easily travel between their nests and the water.Turtles that successfully avoid the numerous threats to their existence can live up to 100 years. But predators, fishing nets and garbage are major problems, and only one out of every 1,000 hatchlings will reach adulthood. There are seven sea turtle species, an
