Question

【题目】If your ears are working well, you hear sounds all the time. You can't switch(关掉) your ears off, even when you are asleep.

Listening

When you really want to listen to something, you tell your brain to focus on that sound. If your ears are healthy and are both working well, they can turn down other sounds while you focus on what you want to hear. If one ear isn't working as well as the other, they can't do this. If your hearing cells(细胞) have been damaged by too much noise or music, what you want to hear can get mixed up and lost in the other sounds around. With__healthy__ears__you__can__choose__what__you__want__to__listen__to,__but__you__can't__choose__what__you__hear.

Understanding

Your brain deals with the received sounds and tells you what they mean. Some people have problems understanding what they are hearing because their ears don't work well and they don't hear all the sounds. The brain does not get enough information to understand the messages or they may be mixedup.

Selective(选择的) hearing

Lots of mums and dads think that kids have this “problem”. They think that the kids select what they are going to hear and what they can't hear! Many mums say that dads do this, too. In fact, this is something we may all do to try and make our lives a bit easier. Some children wrote what they liked to hear and what they didn't like to hear.

【5】拥有健康的耳朵，你能选择你想听的内容，但是你不能选择你听到的内容。

【解析】

本文介绍了耳朵能听到声音，即使睡觉也不能关闭，听到声音后经过大脑的处理你就会理解，你还能选择你听到的声音，这样会使生活更加简单．为什么健康的耳朵专注于你想听到的声音，为什么人能理解听到的声音。

【1】根据文中If your ears are healthy and are both working well, they can turn down other sounds while you focus on what you want to hear. If one ear isn't working as well as the other, they can't do this.可知，你不能专注于你想要听到的。故填you can't focus on what you want to hear。

【2】根据文中Your brain deals with the received sounds and tells you what they mean.可知，它处理接收到的声音并告诉我它们的含义。故填It deals with the received sounds and tells me the meanings/what they mean.

【3】根据文中Selective(选择的) hearing In fact, this is something we may all do to try and make our lives a bit easier. Some children wrote what they liked to hear and what they didn't like to hear.可知答案，我认为“选择性听证”对我来说是最重要的，因为它可能会让我的生活更轻松一些。

故填I think the suggestion “Selective hearing” is the most important for me because it may make my life a little easier.

【4】通读整篇短文可知，这篇短文主要是讲述了关于听力的一些东西。故填Something about listening.

【5】With healthy ears具有健康的耳朵；you can choose what you want to listen to你可以选择你想听的；you can't choose what you hear表示你不能选择你听到的内容。根据题意，故答案是拥有健康的耳朵，你能选择你想听的内容，但是你不能选择你听到的内容。
