What three things are being compared and/or contrasted?
(1) With the disturbing news that nearly all of the brains of deceased football players tested for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) indeed had this terrible brain disease, the National Football League and the Canadian Football League are taking steps to curb head hits on the field. (2) The new Canadian rules differ from the NFL’s in three ways. (3) The first difference is in their practice methods. (4) The CFL has barred players from full contact practices, meaning that players cannot ram into each other. (5) While Canadian players must wear helmets during practice, they do not wear protective padding, which makes them less likely to hit each other. (6) Americans, on the other hand, have not been as cautious; instead they have merely limited the number of padded, full-contact practices to fourteen during the regular season. (7) The second difference is time off. (8) The CFL recently added a third “bye week,” or week off, to its 18-game season to give players more time to recuperate. (9) The NFL, however, allows only one bye week in its 16-week season, giving its players less resting time. (10) Finally, while the CFL plans an ongoing evaluation of these new rules and their effects on player's brain health, the NFL says simply that it will consider the data collected by our neighbor to the north. A) types of pads used in the two leagues B) Canada versus the United States C) new football safety rules in Canada and the United States

Digo, «soy soltero, vivo solo, pero quiero tener novia» y mis amigos me miran. A veces con simpatía. A veces con sorpresa, porque admitir que ya no quieres ser soltero es tabú. A veces con inquietud. No vivo preocupado por estar solo, pero a veces lo noto. Lo noto cuando recibo una invitación de boda o cuando tienen la fiesta de fin de año en mi trabajo y todo el mundo va con su pareja. Incluso lo noto cuando tengo tres invitaciones para salir un sábado por la tarde, pero preferiría a quedarme en casa mirando una película con alguien a quien quiero. Tengo 38 años y ya no quiero ser soltero, lo cual me parece bastante comprensible, pero no lo es. Por eso, me sorprende el montón de artículos e imágenes celebrando la vida soltera. Bueno, parece ser obligatorio celebrar la vida
soltera. «¡Qué rico ser soltero! ¡Disfruta de tu privacidad! ¡Aprovecha de esta oportunidad de conocerte de verdad!» Es como admitir que si uno se siente solo es una traición b al club de los solteros. En Chile, según el Censo, el 44,33% de la población está casada y el 47,23% de la población se identifica como soltero. Irónicamente, estoy bien acompañado en mi propio país con otras personas en la misma situación. La verdad es que no me quejo. c Solamente pido un poco de comprensión. También, escribo esto como un recordatorio a mí mismo porque un día no voy a ser soltero y necesito guardar la compasión para los que todavía están buscando su media naranja. ¿Qué piensa el autor de su vida soltera? a. Nunca piensa en eso. b. Se siente celoso de sus amigos casados. c. Tiene sentimientos encontrados (conflicted emotions).
