Compared to the other parts of the body, our ears don’t ask for much. They don't need to be brushed once a day like your teeth. But they need some special care, especially if you like listening to music with earphones.

Maybe your mum or dad has told you, "Turn that down before you go deaf!" Well, they are quite right. Loud noise might cause hearing loss for a short time or even forever. Think that earphones are a good way to escape from your parents’ eyes? Well. It may not be as good a way as you expect. American doctors have studied a group of 44,000 people who used earphones more than 15 hours per week. The doctors found that 37,000 of them were getting hearing problems.

If you use earphones for too long a time, your ears might feel painful. You could also lose your hearing for the rest of your life.

    So don’t wear your earphones too long. Use them less than one hour a day.

    Want sharp hearing? Don’t forget to do the following:

    Try to stay away from places where there is too much noise, like a disco. If you have to go, wear earplugs.

    When swimming, remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in.

    Never put anything sharp into your ears. If you think you have too much earwax, ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out.

    Keep these things in mind! Then you won't be saying "WHAT???" when you are older.

1.Which is the topic paragraph of the article?

A. Paragraph One.         B. Paragraph Two

C. Paragraph Five.         D. The last Paragraph

2.Using earphones "may not be as good a way as you expect" because _______.

Benjamin Franklin only studied in school for two years. But he liked to read and write very much. Once he discussed a question with his friend in letters. His father found the letters and read them. He felt Ben did not express himself well. Nor did Ben make his meaning clear. He agreed that his father was right, From then on, he paid more attention to the style of his writing so that he could write better.

About that time he bought a copy of the British periodical(周刊) called The Spectator (《观察家》). He read it over and over. He thought the writing excellent, and wished, if possible, to write in the same style.

With this in mind, he studied some of the stories and made a note of the thought in each sentence. Then, a few days later, without looking at the magazine, he tried to write the stories. He tried to express each thought as fully as it had been expressed before. Then he compared his writing with the magazine. He found some of his faults in the compositions.

In this way he discovered he needed to know many more words. He felt that writing poetry would help him since that needed to use many different words which had the same meaning. So he turned some of the stories into poems; and after a time, he wrote them as stories again. He insisted on doing this for a long time.

He learned much from his efforts and went on to practise his writing. Then he became the first famous writer in American history.

1.Benjamin liked ______ very much when he was ______ .

    (2) He rewrote some of the stories and tried to express their thought fully.

    (3) He turned some stories into poems, and then turned them back again.

Is it time to kick Russia out of the BRICs (金砖四国)? If so, it may end up sounding like a famous ball-point pen maker-BIC. An argument is being made that Goldman Sach’s famous marketing device(策略),the BRICs, should really be the BICs.

“Is Russia really worth the name BRICs?” asks Anders Aslund, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, in an article for Foreigh Policy. Aslund, who is also co-author with Andrew Kuchins of “The Russian Balance Sheet”, thinks the Russia of Putin and Medvedev is just not worthy of inclusion alongside Brazil, India and China in the list of future economic powerhouses. He writes:

“The country’s economic performance has fallen to such a weak level that one must ask whether it has any say at all on the global economy, compared with the other members of its group. I have just returned from Moscow, which is always dull around this season. For the last seven years, Russia has taken very few measures to improve its economy. Instead, the state has been living on oil and gas. ”

Economically, Aslund has the numbers on his side. The International Monetary Fund figures that the Russian economy will fall by 6.7 percent in 2009, while China will grow 8.5 percent and India 5.4 percent. There is less of a case for Brazil, with a fall of 0.7 percent, but it is still doing

far better than Russia.

But the BRICs are not just about economy. As is mentioned above, it is a marketing device to encourage investors to focus on the big promising players. From an investment standpoint, it could be argued that Russia is leading the BRICs. Its stock(股票)market is up 128 percent this year while around 80 percent is for the other three.

At very least, however, Russia’s economic underperformance and stock market outperfoumance does suggest it is indeed one of the group.

1.According to the passage, which country will enjoy the biggest increase in 2009?

A.China.

B.Russia.

C.Brazil.

D.India.

2.According to Aslund, Russia shouldn’t be a BRIC partly because_______.

A.Russia’s economic performance is far worse than the other three

B.Russia’s leaders are not good at managing economy

C.Russia has taken effective measures to improve its economy

D.Russia will no longer attract investors from other countries

3.From the passage we know that ________.

A.Anders Aslund is working for the Russian government

B.Russia outperfoumed the other three countries in stock market

C.most people disagree Russia is included in BRICs

D.the BRICs would end up being the BICs sooner or later

4.The author seems to ________.

A.suggest it’s time to kick Russia out of the BRICs?

B.feel worried about the economy of the BRICs

C.think Russia is worth being one of the group

D.show disappointment to Russia’s economy

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.

An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”

So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.” My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenager rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in out social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”

1. What is the popular images of teenagers today?

A.They worry about school

B.They dislike living with their parents

C.They have to be locked in to avoid troubles

D.They quarrel a lot with other family members

2.The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ___

A.share family responsibility

B.cause trouble in their families

C.go boating with their family

D.make family decisions

3.Compared with parents of 30 years age, today’s parents___.

A.go to clubs more often with their children

B.are much stricter with their children

C.care less about their children’s life

D.give their children more freedom

4. According to the author, teenage rebellion____.

A.may be a false belief

B.is common nowadays

C.existed only in the 1960s

D.resulted from changes in families

 About 1 million adult New Yorkers are obese(肥胖的), but nearly two-thirds of them don’t think they are, according to a study released on Tuesday by the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene(卫生).

    Among the obese, who account for about one in five New Yorkers, only 39% described themselves as “very overweight”, according to the report. 2% said they were very underweight, 1% said they were slightly underweight, 16% said they were just right and 42% said they were slightly over weight.

     Some 2 million more New Yorkers are overweight, the report said, and one in five children in kindergarten is obese.

     Only 44% of the city’s adults are at a healthy weight, and nearly 75% say they do not participate in(参加) any regular physical activity.

     New York City’s adult obesity rate was 20% in 2003 compared with 23% nationwide in 2004.The national average has nearly doubled from 12% in 1993, the report said.

    Overweight and obese are defined by body mass index, or BMI (= kg/m) , which is based on a person’s weight , adjusted(调整) for height, the department said.

    Being obese means having a BMI of 30 or greater, while being overweight means a BMI of more than 25 but less than 30.

    A 5-foot, 10-inch (1.78-meter) man weighing 175 pounds(79kg) would have a BMI of 25.1 and be considered overweight according to the department . If he weighed 210 pounds (95kg), he would have a BMI of 30.1 and be obese.

    The report came from results of the department’s 2002 and 2003 yearly telephone surveys of some 10,000 adults.

1.New York City has a population of about _____ according to the passage.

  A.5,000,000  B. 2,000,000  C. 1,000,000 D. 500,000

  C. New York City’s adult obesity rate increased from 1993 to 2004

  D. most of the New York City’s adults are at a healthy weight

3.If a 1.75-meter-tall man weighs 99 kilograms, he is ____ according to the passage.

   A. overweight    B. underweight   C. slightly underweight    D. obese

4.What is the passage mainly about?
