How to protect your ears

You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night. When you get outside, your ears are ringing. You have to shout to be heard. 1._So no harm done…right?

Not quite. Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore, but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause serious and irreversible(无法治愈的) hearing loss. A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight hearing loss, and one in 20 have mild hearing loss._ 2. __But the good news is that there plenty of ways you can protect your ears from further damage — and still listen to the music you love:

Ask around. Put your ear buds in or your headphones on, and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or she can hear what you’re listening to.__ 3.__Turn it down.

Buy noise-canceling headphones. A pair of ear buds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volumes.

Take breaks.__ 4.__So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet.

___5.__You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts — or while playing or practicing your own music — without changing the quality of the sound.

A. Use earplugs.

B. Keep the volume below 70 percent.

C. If the answer is yes, your music is too loud.

D. Like every other part of your body, your ears need rest.

E. But by morning, your hearing is totally back to normal.

F. Unfortunately, there’s no way to get back hearing you’ve already lost.

G.. The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in any previous generation.

And teachers shape the minds of young people and turn them into responsible, educating adults. Last, both doctors and teachers are essential members of a community.

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet，chat and go where we’ve never been before．But just as in face-to-face communication，there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line． 1. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes．

For anything you’re about to send：ask yourself,“Would I say this to the person’s face?”If the answer is no，rewrite and reread． 2.

If someone in the chat room is rude to you，your instinct(本能)is to fire back in the same manner．But try not to do so． 3. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member,，try to fix the situation by politely discussing it．Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room．

4. Offer advice when asked by newcomers，as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate．When someone makes a mistake，whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer，be kind about it．If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything．Even if you feel strongly about it，think twice before saying anything．Having good mariners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else．5. At the same time, if you find you are wrong．be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended．

In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).

I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.

Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.

After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”

I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and the old wishing they were young again! Each age has its pleasure and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting any time in useless regrets.
Children is a time when there are few duties to make life hard. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after, and loved whatever he may do. It’s impossible for him to be given so much again in his life without having to do anything in return. Besides, life is always giving new things to the child. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside makes him wild. But a child has his pains; he is not so free to do as he wishes. He is continually being told not to do this, not to do that, or being punished for what he has done wrong. His life is therefore not perfectly happy.

When the young man starts to make his own living, he becomes free from the rules of school and parents; but at the time he is forced to accept duties. He can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the law of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison, lf, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble, and has good health, he can have the great happiness of seeing himself make steady progress in his job and of building up his own position in society.

Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be, but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age should come wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. They can have the joy of seeing their Children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them and, perhaps, best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to continue the fight.

1. The main reason children wish they were grown up, and the old wish they were young again is that ___________.

A. both are satisfied with the strong points at their ages

B. both enjoy the strong points at the other age by looking back or looking forward

C. the human beings should be like this

D. regrets and happiness both exist whether they are young or old

2.According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that __________.

A. life for a child is comparatively easy

B. a child should enjoy the equal freedom with seniors

C. if much is given to a child, he is expected to do something in return

D. a child’s greatest dissatisfaction lies in the trouble he makes

3.Which of the following is NOT needed for a youth man to be happy?

A. Hard work. B. freedom from troubles.

C. Wealth. D. Health.
