While Dr. Weinstein， a surgeon at Dartmouth College， was trying to lift a heavy box， he twisted his back. The pain was agonizing. The surgeon could not sit， and when he lay down he could barely get up. So he decided to go out for a run. He took an aspirin， iced the injured area， and off he went. When he returned， he felt “pretty good.”
31 When people have sprained a muscle or tendon， they are usually advised not to go right back to exercising until the pain goes away. But Dr. Weinstein says that approach is outdated and counterproductive. In fact， when active people consult him， he usually tells them to just keep exercising.
(A) For example， an injured runner might end up cycling and swimming instead of running.
(B) Over time， researchers have come to realize the importance of exercising when injured.
(C) Many suggest that most patients can continue with the sport they love.
(D) This seems to run counter to the common practice.

Dr. Weinstein is not alone in his treatment of sports injury， but the specific advice can differ from specialist to specialist. 32 They nevertheless caution that a cutback may be necessary， such as running shorter distances or going more slowly. Others say the patients may need to engage in sports outside of their usual， main sport (that is， to cross-train)， at least some of the time. Still others say the safest thing to do is cross-train all the time until the pain is gone.
(A) For example， an injured runner might end up cycling and swimming instead of running.
(B) Over time， researchers have come to realize the importance of exercising when injured.
(C) Many suggest that most patients can continue with the sport they love.
(D) This seems to run counter to the common practice.

Their consensus， however， is that unless the injury involves something as serious as a broken bone or a ripped muscle， moderate exercise can actually speed healing. 33

34 Thus， more and more patients are now advised to keep moving despite the pain. The rule of thumb， however， is to see a doctor first and get an accurate diagnosis. If a serious injury is ruled out and the pain is not getting worse after exercising， then the exercise “makes a lot of sense.”

One fine morning in 1941， Swiss engineer George de Mestral went for a walk in the woods with his dog. Upon their return home， he found a lot of burrs (from plants) stuck to the dog’s fur and his pants. He immediately rushed to his microscope and examined the burrs attached on his pants—feeling a lightbulb moment coming on.
Upon closer examination， de Mestral observed that the burrs， which appeared straight to the naked eye， actually contained many small hooks that clung firmly to the loops in the fabric of his pants. He determined that if he could recreate the same thing， making hooks-and-loops that bind to each other firmly， he could produce a strong fastener with many uses.
De Mestral’s first challenge was finding a fabric for a strong bonding system. He first tried cotton， but it proved too soft and could not withstand repeated openings and closures. After years of research and testing， he learned that synthetics worked best and eventually settled on heat-treated nylon， a strong and durable substance. By 1955， he had completed an improved version of the product， with each square inch of material containing 300 hooks， which made it stay fastened and yet easy enough to pull apart when needed. Named “Velcro，” from the French words velours (velvet) and crochet (hook)， the new product received a patent from the Swiss government in 1955. De Mestral thus began mass-producing Velcro， opening plants in Europe and eventually into Canada and the United States.
Initially Velcro did not fare well. As most fashion critics considered it ugly and cheap-looking， the use of Velcro was limited to athletic equipment. In the early 1960s， the product received a huge boost in popularity when NASA began using it in a lot of equipment that went into space along with astronauts. Today， de Mestral’s design is found almost everywhere: clothing and footwear， toys， airline seat cushions， blood pressure cuffs and surgeons’ gowns. Most impressively， the magical fastener was used in the first human artificial heart transplantation to hold together parts of the device.
Which of the following pictures shows de Mestral’s invention?
