    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 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.3.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.  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.

    The orderly came back in a few minutes with a rifle（步枪）and some Burmans（缅甸人）. He told us that the elephant was in the rice fields below, only a few hundred yards away. As I started forward practically the whole population of the quarter flocked out of the houses and followed me. They had seen the rifle and were all shouting excitedly that I was going to shoot the elephant. It was fun to them, as it would be to an English crowd; besides, they wanted the meat. It made me a little uneasy. I had no intention of shooting the elephant—I had merely sent for the rifle to defend myself—and it is always uneasy to have a crowd following you. I marched down the hill, looking and feeling a fool, with the rifle over my shoulder and an ever-growing army of people knocking and pushing at my heels. Beyond the huts（小木屋）there was a rice field a thousand yards across, muddy from the first rains. The elephant was standing eight yards from the road. He took not the slightest notice of the crowd. He was tearing up bunches of grass, beating them against his knees to clean them and feeding them into his mouth.

    As soon as I saw the elephant I knew with perfect certainty that I ought not to shoot him. It is a serious matter to shoot a working elephant — it is comparable to destroying a huge and costly piece of machinery. There, peacefully eating, the elephant looked no more dangerous than a cow. I thought then and I think now that his attack of “must” was already passing off; in which case he would merely wander harmlessly about. Moreover, I did not in the least want to shoot him.

    But at that moment I glanced round at the crowd that had followed me. It was a huge crowd, two thousand at least and growing every minute. I looked at the sea of the faces above the colorful clothes—faces all happy and excited over this bit of fun, all certain that the elephant was going to be shot. They were watching me as they would watch a magician about to perform a trick. They did not like me. But with the magical rifle in my hands I was momentarily worth watching. And suddenly I realized that I should have to shoot the elephant after all. The people expected it of me and I had got to do it; I could feel their two thousand wills pressing me forward. And it was at this moment that I first felt the hollowness（空洞）, the uselessness of the white man's control in the East. Here was I, standing in front of the unarmed crowds—seemingly the leading actor; but in reality only a puppet (傀儡). I understood in this moment that when the white man turns ruler of complete power it is his own freedom that he destroys.

    1.The people were glad to think the elephant was to be shot mainly because ________.

    A. it had damaged their homes and crops

    B. it would provide them with meat

    C. it would make them feel entertained

    D. it was spoiling their rice fields

    2.When the writer saw the elephant he felt ________.

    A. foolish B. afraid C. pitiful D. confident

    3.The writer realized that he had to shoot the elephant because ________.

    A. shooting elephants is a serious problem

    B. everybody expected it of him

    C. he did not wish to disappoint the rulers

    D. he had to show how guns are fired

    4.What does the writer intend to tells us when he tells the story?

    A. Leading actors are sometimes foolish puppets.

    B. Governments for white people are useless.

    C. Power can sometimes turn people imprisoned (监禁).

    D. Unarmed crowds are in control of everything.

    We took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August，and it was as refreshing and exhausting as family vacations tend to be．Toward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on．At that point in a road trip，even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.

    My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home，I hit the brakes，and we began to roll，slowly，behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again．We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again．Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle．

    At five miles per hour，you remember what you forget at sixty-five．You are thinking about a place，even when you are moving from place to place．

    I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home，and also a writer and a gardener．But，for me，those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life：I want to cultivate a place and share it with others．

    The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land，and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers，keep a baker’s dozen of egg—laying chickens，and，since we moved in three years ago，we have planted many，many trees．

    Living with my life’s purpose does not allow for much travel. I need to be here，feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget，and we spend it on trees．

    But I learned something at the end of our family road trip．Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place．When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there，travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places．

    1.What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?

    A. The tiredness of her past family life．

    B. Her disappointment at the family road trip．

    C. The family’s eagerness to return home．

    D. Kids’excitement at driving fast on the road．

    2.Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?

    A. Because she made a way for a horse-drawn carriage．

    B. Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road．

    C. Because she needed a break after the long drive．

    D. Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life．

    3.The underlined word“placemaker”in the 4th paragraph refers to someone who_______ .

    A. devotes most of his energy and time to building his house

    B. is ready to help anyone in need in the community

    C. makes a creative design for others’houses

    D. is good at cultivating a place and sharing it with others

    4.What can be the best title of the passage?

    A. On the Way Home B. Never Travel again

    C. Escape from a Family Life D. Life on the Farm

    Have you ever heard of the Coral Sea? It is home to an amazing variety of turtles, sharks, whales, dolphins, large fish, birds, corals, plants, and many other species. Many of these species are endangered elsewhere in the world, but still survive in the healthy environment of the Coral Sea.

    The Coral Sea is a large series of coral reefs located off the northeast coast of Australia. This area is three times larger than Australia’s famous Great Barrier Reef, which the Coral Sea borders.

    The Coral Sea is one of the few coral reef environments that have remained largely undamaged by over-fishing, oil and gas exploration and pollution. However, statistics show that coral reefs around the world are disappearing five times faster than rainforests. It is very likely that in the near future the Coral Sea will face the same threats to its existence.

    The Australian government is currently looking at options for protecting the Coral Sea but has made no decisions. Environmentalists are pushing for laws to declare the Coral Sea area a marine protected area, which will mean a large “no-take zone” for fishermen, a no-exploration zone for gas and oil companies and a no-dump zone for pollution, possibly making the Coral Sea a marine park larger than any other in the world.

    We can write letters to Australian leaders, Australian environmental protection agencies, and Australian friends, to let them know that people worldwide support this protection of the Coral Sea. To lose this last great marine wilderness world would be a loss for the whole world.

    1.According to the passage, why should we protect the Coral Sea without any delay?

    A. Because the Coral Sea, home to many species, will disappear soon.

    B. Because the Coral Sea is rich in natural resources like oil and gas.

    C. Because the Coral Sea is three times larger than Great Barrier Reef.

    D. Because the Coral Sea will be a marine park larger than any other in the world.

    2.Once the Coral Sea area is declared n marine protected area by law, .

    A. it will surely become the largest marine park all over the world

    B. no one will be allowed to there to have a dose look any more

    C. from time to time people can still dump their rubbish around there

    D. over-fishing, oil and gas exploration will be banned altogether there

    3.What is the attitude of the author towards the protection of the Coral Sea?

    A. Objective. B. Favorable.

    C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
