IV. Read the text and choose the correct answers.

Football for Kids
Should children be allowed to play football, or is it just too dangerous? Recent studies and polls
suggest a surprising shift in attitude. According to a recent online poll conducted by Robert Morris
University, nearly half (40 percent) of the one thousand respondents believed tackle football should
be banned below the high-school level. Additionally, a recent news report stated that Pop Warner
football participation had declined by almost 10 percent over a two-year period.
4
The main issue for banning football relates to head injuries, specifically concussions. A concussion is a
brain injury that usually has immediate symptoms. Often a player sits out a game until the concussion
has healed. However, medical reports document that some concussions occur without any symptoms
and thus go untreated. If left untreated, a concussion can be extremely dangerous. Research suggests
that players who sustain too many concussions are more likely to acquire permanent brain injuries.
Not all football players suffer from concussions, but some would argue that even one is too many.
Instead of a ban, many argue that better helmet technology could reduce the number of concussions.
Routine physicals and better detection of concussions could further ward off long-term problems.
Another solution to combat concussions is to alter the way players can tackle. New rules redefine the
ways a player can be tackled, by either pushing a ball carrier out of bounds without fully extending the
arms, or by fully wrapping the player with both arms before bringing him or her to the ground.
Football is an American game that has been played for more than one hundred years. It has millions
of fans and is played throughout the United States across nearly all age levels. Should it be banned?
1. What percentage of those polled believed football should be banned?
A. 50 percent B. 40 percent C. 45 percent D. 51 percent
2. What is one reason the author gives for not banning football?
A. Football is a new sport in the United States.
B. Students do not know how to tackle correctly.
C. Players could use flags instead of tackling.
D. Better helmet technology could prevent head injury.
3. Which is a synonym for the word combat as it is used in the text?
A. fight B. agreement C. war D. oppose
4. Which of the following is the main issue leading people to suggest a ban on football for
younger grades?
A. Younger students don’t understand the game.
B. Fewer children are playing Pop Warner football now.
C. There is concern that too many players receive head injuries.
