10．How to protect your earsYou 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．（36）ESo 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 12and 19are experiencing slight hearing loss，and one in 20have mild hearing loss．（37）FBut 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 earbuds 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（38）C Turn it down．
Buy noise-canceling headphones．A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volumes．
Take breaks．（39）D So when listening to music，take your headphones off for 15or 20minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet．
（40）A 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．

9．Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight，while the French，who consume rich food，continue to stay thin？Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight．Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full．However，Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over．
According to Dr．Joseph Mercola，a health expert，the French see eating as an important part of their life style．They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table，while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities．Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full．So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped．In addition，he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week．The French，instead，tend to shop daily，walking to small shops and farmers'markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits，vegetables，and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal．
After a visit to the United States，Mireille Guiliano，author of French Women Don't Get Fat，decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food．Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym．
In spite of all these differences，evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits．Today the rate of obesity-or extreme overweight-among adults is only 6%．However，as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions，the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%-and is growing．

28．In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr．Joseph Mercola？C
A．They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently．
B．They squeeze eating between the other daily activities．
C．They regard eating as a key part of their life style．
D．They usually eat too much canned and frozen food．
29．This text is mainly about the relationship betweenB．
A．Americans and the French
B．life style and obesity
C．children and adults
D．fast food and overweight
30．This text is mainly developedA．
A．by contrast　　　
B．by space
C．by process
D．by classification
31．Where does this text probably come from？C
A．A TV interview．
B．A food advertisement．
C．A health report．
D．A book review．

Dear Rex，
I'm sorry to hear that you had a quarrel with your parent because they had read your diary with your permission．Don't get annoying about it．I think they do so because they concerned about you．Please understand that they love you．
First of all，you can have a open talk with them and tell them it is not good to keep an eye on you in this way，but that you have the right to keep your own secrets．Besides，you should learn to communicate effective with them．Let them know your ideas，that can avoid unnecessary misunderstanding between you and in your parents．
I wish you all the best!

6．Whether you want to improve your writing skills as a creative writer or simply perfect your skills for schoolwork，you can take some steps to learn how to be a better writer．
1．Use active instead of passive voice．
In English，the most basic sentence structure is S-V-O：Subject-Verb-Object．The passive voice usually requires more words and use of a"to be"verb form，which can suck the energy out of your writing．Learn to avoid these constructions as much as you can．（36）D It conventionally uses the passive voice to put the emphasis on the results，rather than the researchers．
2．（37）A
Finding the right verb or adjective can turn an uninspired sentence into one people will remember and quote for years to come．Look for words that are as specific as possible．Strong doesn't mean obscure，or more complicated．Don't say"utilize"when you could say"use．"（38）F
3．Cut the chaff．
（39）C You don't get points for saying in 50words what could be said in 20，or for using multi-syllable words when a short one does just as well．It might feel good at first to pack a lot of ideas and details into a single sentence，but chances are that sentence is just going to be hard to read．If a phrase doesn't add anything valuable，just cut it．（40）G If you notice that your writing is filled with"-ly"words，it might be time to take a deep breath and give your writing more focus．

A．Use strong words．
B．Show，don't tell．
C．Good writing is simple，clear and direct．
D．The main exception to this is science writing．
E．Cutting the chaff is best done at the editing stage．
F．"He sprinted"is not necessarily better than"he ran．"
G．Don't write"screamed fearfully"--"scream"already suggests fear．

5．You'll soon be 84years old，Dad，and you and I will have had 55 Father's Days together．
You know，there was a time when we were not only separated by the generation gap but completely polarized （对立） by it．Split by：age and experience，opinions，hairstyles，cosmetics，clothing and boys．
The Father-Daughter Duel（冲突） of‘54 shifted into high gear（白热化） when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the‘54 Chevy whether you liked it or not．The police officer who accompanied me home after you reported the Chevy stolen late one evening was too young to understand father-daughter politics and too old to have much tolerance for a 16-year-old．You were so decent about it，Dad，and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life．
Our relationship improved greatly when I had babies．I didn't know what to expect of you and Mom as grandparents but I didn't have to wait long to find out．Those babies adored you then just as they adore you now．
I suppose I saw our relationship as aging together，rather like a fine wine．But the oddest thing happened last week．I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car．It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and frail behind the wheel of that huge car．It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere．Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day．
Fifty years ago this spring，we planted kohlrabi together in a garden in Charles City，Iowa．
This week，we'll plant kohlrabi together again，perhaps for the last time but I hope not．I don't understand why planting kohlrabi with you is so important to me but it is．I don't even like kohlrabi…but I like planting it with you．
Honoring a father on Father's Day is about more than a dad who brings home a paycheck，shares a dinner table，and attends school graduation and weddings．It's more about unconditionally loving children who are stubborn，who know everything and won't listen to anyone．It's about loving someone more than words can say，and wishing that it never had to end．
I love you，Dad．

Dear Mike，
I'm sorry to tell you that I've lost your book that I borrowed from you．Now I'm expressing my deepest apology for my carelessness．

Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Hua．
