Stop! Listen! What do you hear? You may hear many different sounds. Some of those sounds may be noisy. Noise is loud and unwanted sound.
Noise can be caused by many kinds of machines, such as motorcycles, jet planes, tractors and so on. And, to some people, rock bands are also noise.
What happened to people who live near noisy machines or use them over a period of time? Doctors find that these people have trouble in sleeping, But, most important, constant loud noise can cause a loss of hearing.
Scientists use a unit of measure called a decibel to measure the loudness of a sound. The sound of a quiet room, for example, measures 35 decibels. Talking measures between 40 and 65 decibels. Sounds from traffic and from some rock bands can measure over 120 decibels. Noise at this high level causes the greatest hearing loss.

If you are asked to chair a meeting, remember the following six golden rules for meeting management.
Always start the meeting on time. If you begin on time, group members who show up late will realize the value of time. Beginning on time shows skill as an effective time manager and sets an example for others to follow.
Select a note-taker. You may need to refer back to something that was discussed during the meeting at a later date. Good record-keeping is a sign of a good meeting manager as well.
Learn to listen. So many times we think about what we are going to say and, in the process, miss important points that other group members may be contributing （做贡献）. Additionally, we often hear only what we want to hear, instead of really listening to other people. Meetings with effective listening are successful meetings.
Keep the discussion on track（轨道）. Many times an important topic can get sidetracked in a meeting, especially when everyone has a different opinion about the topic. If an unexpected conflict（冲突） develops once the meeting is in progress, either ask a special group to look into the problem, or ask members involved in the conflict to meet with you after the meeting. Doing so will help keep the discussion on track and reduce the chances of wasting group members’ valuable time.
Give everyone an opportunity to be heard. Some people like to control meetings, while others wait to be asked their opinions. As the leader of the meeting, you need to keep an open mind and make sure everyone feels welcome to contribute and express ideas without criticism.
End on time. If you said the meeting would last no longer than one hour, make sure the meeting lasts for only one hour. Running late with a meeting makes members late for other appointments, increases the chances that the members will mentally leave the meeting and reduces your reliability as an effective meeting manager.
53. Why should we learn to listen according to the passage?
A. To show respect to other members.
B. To hear only what we want to hear.

A. every one can express their ideas freely without criticism
B. the meeting manager shouldn’t speak a lot at the meeting
C. everyone has the right to ask others opinions at the meeting
D. all group members have to express their ideas at the meeting
55. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Everyone should look back to what is discussed at the meeting later.
B. The meeting should be ended on time or some members will leave.
C. A meeting manager should let members discuss unexpected conflicts.
D. If you start the meeting on time, late—comers may not be late next time.

A. make everyone realize the value of time
