Section ⅣOther Parts of the Module[原文呈现][读文清障]Dizzy Heights of School BasketballBasketball is one of the safest sports. Unlike wrestling①or boxing②，it's not usually dangerous. One reason for this is③that the players' energy is partly directed upwards④，at a 90-degree angle⑤to the ground, and over the heads of the others. So there's less risk of a collision⑥between two players.In other sports, such as baseball and American football, the players' energy moves parallel⑦to the ground and towards their opponents, so they wear helmets which give adequate⑧ protection to their heads⑨.But although basketball players wear socks⑩ and sneakers⑪which are specially designed to ⑫absorb⑬energy when they bound⑭into the air, they wear no other protection, just a vest⑮and shorts. If there is an abrupt⑯change of direction in their energy, from vertical⑰to horizontal⑱，such as when they accelerate⑲across the court, bouncing⑳the ball, there is a real danger of personal injury.①wrestling/'reslIŋ/n.摔跤(运动)②boxing/'bɒksIŋ/n.拳击(运动)③that the players' energy ...是表语从句。

不像摔跤和拳击，通常它是没有危险的。

原因之一是球员的力量部分是向上的，与地面形成90度的角，而且在其他人头部的上方。

所以两个球员之间碰撞的风险是比较小的。

在其他的运动中，比如棒球和美式足球，球员力量的运行方向与地面是平行的，并且朝着他们的对手，所以他们戴着给他们头部充分保护的头盔。

但是尽管篮球运动员穿着专门设计的用于缓冲跳跃时能量的短袜和胶底运动鞋，但他们没有其他的保护，只有一件背心和一条短裤。

如果他们身体能量的方向有一个突然的改变，从垂直到水平，比如当他们运球加速穿过球场时，造成人身伤害的危险性会很大。

For example, in the Kent State High School Basketball tournament○21，Chandler High was playing St Mary Central and at the interval○22the score was 50－52.But St Mary had appointed○23 a captain who was not a typical○24basketball player. Whereas everyone else was tall and slim○25with short haircuts, Joe Johannsen was short and stout○26，with long hair and a large belly○27. But he was really fast, and when he obtained○28control of the ball, he could make a circuit○29of the court and reach the opposing team's boundary○30within seconds.Anyhow○31，twelve minutes into the second half○32，Frank Sackler, the Chandler star player, made a controversial○33pass○34over Joe's head. Joe stepped aside○35and dipped○36his head down. Sackler bounced off him and committed○37 a foul○38. The referee interrupted○39the match, and there was a suspension○40of play. But Joe was unhurt, shot the penalty○41，and the scorewas 88－90. There were three minutes to go○42.○21tournament/'tʊənəmənt/n.锦标赛，联赛；比赛○22interval/'Intəvl/n.(球赛的)中场休息○23appoint/ə'pɔInt/v.任命，委派○24typical/'tIpIkl/adj.典型的，具有代表性的，独特的○25slim/slIm/adj.苗条的，修长的○26stout/staʊt/adj.(躯体)胖的，粗壮的○27belly/'beli/n.肚子，腹部○28obtain/əb'teIn/v.获得，得到○29circuit/'sɜːkIt/n.环形○30boundary/'baʊnd n.界限，范围○31anyhow ad v.(用于转换话题)无论如何，反正○32the second half下半场○33controversial/ˌkɒntrə'vɜːʃl/adj.有争议的○34make a ... pass此处指“运球通过”。

但是圣·玛丽中心学校任命了一位非典型的篮球运动员担任队长。

其他每个人又高又瘦，留着短发，但乔·约翰逊又矮又胖，留着长头发，还是大肚子。

可是他确实速度很快，当他得到球的控制权时，他能围着球场跑一圈，且在数秒内到达对方的边界。

然而，在下半场进行到12分钟时，弗兰克·赛克勒，查得勒的明星球员，越过乔的头做了一个有争议的运球。

乔闪到一边，低下了头。

赛克勒跳起来绕过他，犯了规。

裁判中断了比赛，球赛暂停。

但是乔并没有受伤，他罚了球，比分是88∶90，比赛还剩下3分钟。

Joe immediately took possession of○43the ball and ran, ... and suddenly 80 kilos○44hit the Chandler star, ○45who howled○46loudly in pain○47and fell，○48with his nose bleeding○49and a cut on his left cheek○50. For a moment, he lay very still○51，and the referee even checked his pulse○52，but soon confirmed○53he was OK.But when Sackler stood up he was dizzy○54，so they put a bandage○55round○56his head, a blanket○57round his shoulders, and called an ambulance○58to take him to the hospital. Joe was a considerate○59guy, and apologised○60as Sackler left, sniffing○61and weeping○62，either in pain or in frustration○63.Chandler scored with○64the penalty, and their teamwork○65had won the match. But Frank Sackler still has the scar○66on his face as a souvenir of the tournament.○43take possession of占有，占据，拥有○4480 kilos此处指Joe的体重。
