Parties, iPods, concerts, movies, TV shows, video games, traffic. All of these things of the modern world make life entertaining and enjoyable. But our 21^st-century lifestyle is also loud and, if we don’t take notice, it can have an effect on our hearing.

Most teenagers don’t think about hearing loss. But if you experience any of the following symptoms（症状）, you may already be hearing damaged: you make efforts to hear normal talk, you have to turn up the TV or radio so high that others complain, you watch other people’s expressions to understand what they are saying, you ask people to repeat themselves, you misunderstand what people are saying or you hear ringing in your ears.

iPods and other MP3 players are as common as the clothes you wear, and just as fashionable. But if you turn up an iPod to more than 60 percent of its maximum volume（最大音量）, and listen to music for more than an hour, you are asking for trouble. And, it does not matter if the music you play is classical, rock or heavy metal.

Some researchers find that young people who break the so-called 60-percent/60-minute rule in listening to iPods are at the risk of suffering hearing loss.

Why is an iPod dangerous? With ear buds placed directly in the ear canal and high-volume music played over a long period of time, it’s like working in a loud factory all day, being a maintenance（修理）person under a jet airplane or using a jackhammer（手提钻）on a building site.

Similarly, iPod music can cause a short time or permanent（永久的）hearing damage. A loud iPod can cause a ruptured（破裂的）eardrum and, over time, may cause permanent damage to the tiny hairs in the inner ear. If these tiny hairs are damaged, they cannot effectively send sounds to the auditory nerves（听觉神经）that connect to the brain. If this happens, hearing loss becomes permanent.

1.Which of the following shows that you are suffering hearing loss?

A．You are interested to listen to others’ talking.

B．You have to read others’ expressions to understand them.

C．You can only understand others over the phone.

D．You always think you hear the ringing of the phone.

2. Which of the following is TRUE when you listen to music?

A．Listen at least an hour every time.

B．Turn up the volume to the highest level.

C．keep the sound lower than 60% of its highest volume.

D．Choose classical, rock or heavy metal music.

3.What is the correct order of causing permanent hearing loss?

a. The eardrum is broken.

b. The auditory nerves cannot receive sounds.

c. Tiny hairs are damaged.

d. Ear buds are placed directly in the ear canal.

e. High-volume music is played over a long time.

A．d-a-c-b-e          B．e-c-a-b-d          C．b-c-a-d-e          D．d-e-a-c-b

4.This passage is mainly about      .

A．music that teenagers like                 B．hearing problems caused by the loud world

C．ways that teenagers enjoy music            D．dangerous modern lifestyles of teenagers.

It is obvious that doctors recognize obesity as a health problem. So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?

    The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to help patients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often don’t know what to say.

    “So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the conversation often ends there,” said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes (糖尿病),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools to address this problem.

    The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients don’t even know that they’re too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight.

Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were also told by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful in the past—and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesity­related diseases like hypertension and diabetes.

Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn. , which ranks the 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be an ongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re to be successful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something to encourage them and coach them,” he said.

He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic.

“Part of this is that there's this common belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just don’t have any willpower and are self­indulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time having a productive conversation.”

1.What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3?

A. An organization of doctors suffering from obesity.

B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity.

C. A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.

D. A research group dealing with doctor-patient relationship.

2.How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight?

A. About 350.                           B. About 390.

C. About 900.                           D. About 1,000.

3.What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?

    A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.

    B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.

C. Without their doctors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of their succeeding in losing weight.

    D. Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy.

4.  According to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients?

    A. Most doctors never think of warning their patients about their weight problem.

    B. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight.

    C. Most patients are too weak-willed to do anything about their weight.

    D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem.

5.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

    A. Obesity in the U. S.                

B. Trouble of overweight Americans.

    C. Talk more, help better.             

D. Doctors or patients---who to bear more blame?[
