12、 one. “When I started playing, I was scrum-half (争球前卫), usually the smallest guy on the field,” says Taka. “But as I grew, I changed position.

13、 is thanks to my coaches as well as my teammates who brought me to where I am now.”Taka says that being part of a team and experiencing that growth together is one of the best parts of the sport. “Rugby creates a unity within the team and helps develop a mutual (相互的) respect between other teams and

After several days of training, I was attending my first event as a fully qualified (合格的) Red Cross volunteer. Our team was providing medical cover for a large martial arts (武术) grading event.Altho
19、ugh Id passed my first aid course with flying colours, I was nervous - 5 -before the event began. Theres quite a difference between the classroom and the real thing! Two experienced adult volunteers would be working with me for the day.Rosie was taking part in the under-16s event. This was supposed
20、to be non-contact, and she was wearing full protective clothing just in case. All these precautions (预防措施) didnt help however, when her competitor misjudged a move and delivered a violent blow to her head.“Guys, we need some help over here!” Over we went, all three of us carrying various bits of kit
21、 (工具箱). Rosie was lying on the ground. As we approached we could see she was conscious (有意识的). Brian, my colleague took the lead.“Hey there, stay nice and still for me. Chris here is just going to hold your head. Dont worry; its just a precaution.”I helped, painfully aware that hundreds of sets of e

27、 aid.CIf someone asked you to quantify (衡量) the time you spend online, how would you answer? If youre like one-fifth of Americans, youd likely say “almost constantly.” New research shows that 21 percent of Americans report that theyre online more or less constantly.Andrew Perrin, a research assistan
28、t at Pew, did a survey about Internet use. During the survey, adults were asked how much they go online. 13 percent said they dont go online and 13 percent said they go online several times a week or less.

29、several times a day (42 percent) or “almost constantly” (21 percent).Interestingly, there wasnt a gender split (性别分化) when it came to near constant Internet use.
