Heads Up!
In November，the US Soccer Federation，the biggest soccer organization in the US introduces new rules to make the sport safer for young players．This organization
announced that players on its teams who are 10 or younger are no longer allowed to head the ball．Players aged from 11 to 13 have limits on how often they can practice heading．The new rules are designed to prevent kids from getting concussions﹣injuries caused by a blow to the head that shakes the brain inside the skull（头骨）．Common symptoms（症状） include headaches and dizziness．
A DANGEROUS MOVE
Heading the ball can be one of the riskiest parts of soccer．Sometimes the force of hitting the ball with their heads gives players concussions．But more often，players receive concussions when they jump to head the ball and accidentally knock heads with other players or fall and hit their heads on the grass．
"More concussions happen during the act of heading than any other action in soccer，"explains Dr．Robert Cantu，an expert on brain injuries．

The novel coronavirus （新冠病毒） has changed our lives． In many countries， it has also changed the way people greet each other． To help stop the spread of coronavirus， people give up their usual greeting styles and invent safe ways． Let's take a look．
（1） B Lean forward （倾身向前）， touch faces and make a kissing sound． This is French people's favorite way of greeting， But when the virus is going around， too many kisses are not good． An expert gives everyone in France a suggestion： simply looking into a person's eyes can be a greeting．It's not as romantic as kissing， but it's safe．
（2） E Like the French， Italians are also romantic people．When they meet，they always hug or kiss each other． Recently， an Italian grandma made a video to help everyone fight the disease． According to her， if you want to say hello to others， do not hug or kiss．Instead， you can close one of your eyes and give them a wink （眨眼）． Isn't it cute？
（3） D It's a very Australian thing to put your hand out to shake hands．But if you do this，the virus can jump from one person to another． Now a health official （官员） in Australia says a pat （拍打） on the back would be better． But it also has some problems．For example，it's a bit impolite if you do this to your teacher． What do you think？
（4） C People in Iran often shake hands when they meet． But a recent video shows that an interesting way to greet others is now popular in Iran． In the video， three Iran men wear masks and put their hands in their pockets． They don't shake hands， but try to"shake" feet．
（5） A An official from the WHO suggested that we use three greetings： waving hands， Thai"wai"（泰式合十礼） and bumping elbows （碰肘礼）．
（a）根据短文内容，从方框中选出每段的主旨大意．
