A headache is important also because it affects normal, happy living.The employee with a headache does less work.In a flash of temper he may upset his fellow workers or customers, causing a direct or indirect loss to his organization.The mother with a headache suffers and disturbs the family.She upsets her husband and children.

More than half of high school students surveyed reported at least one symptom (癥狀) of hearing loss connected with the use of portable music players, like iPods and other MP3 players.

Does your child turn up the volume (音量) on the television or radio, even though everyone else can hear just fine? Does your child say “what?” or “huh?” repeatedly? It could be their ear-bud head-phones, which, like the ones typically used with iPods and other portable music players, project sound directly into the ear canal (耳孔).

Sound levels are measured in decibels. Generally, decibel levels lower than 80 or so are not harmful to hearing. But a MP3 player can put out levels in excess of 100 decibels, and children sometimes stay plugged in for hours.

Like generations of mothers, Lynette Cook shouts across the house for her children to turn down the volume of their music, only they're not listening to stereos. They're rocking out to music on tiny iPods, listening through very small speakers tucked into their ears.

Hearing damage occurs when loud sounds destroy tiny hair cells in the inner ear. These cells turn sound waves into electrical impulses (脈沖) and send them to the brain. Destroy just 25 to 30 percent of these cells, and hearing loss occurs.

Carmen Lappen, the nurse at South Mountain High in Phoenix, is amazed when the children surveyed admitted they had hearing problems. Students at her school love their iPods and other

MP3 players. She laughed, “They're not going to tell me they hurt.” Lappen worries when she can hear students' tunes, even when they're wearing ear buds. “If I can hear it, it is too much for their ears. ” She won't buy an MP3 player for her 17-year-old son.

Lappen and Cook offer age-old advice:“Turn it down!” Or, better yet, “Turn it off !”

1. According to the passage, the word “decibel” is a unit ________.

A. to show whether a sound is harmful or not

B. to suggest the price of a MP3 player

C. to show the listening level of students

D. to show the volume of sound

2. The reason why Lappen won't buy an MP3 player for her son is that ________.

A. she's afraid it may affect her child's hearing

B. she can't afford an MP3 player

C. the MP3 player will make her child's study worse

D. MP3 players are forbidden to use in school

3. According to the passage, it can be inferred that ________.

A. sounds over 25 decibels will cause hearing-loss

B. man can hear depending on the hair cells outside ears

C. children's hearing problems surprised Lappen

D. Cook doesn't like students to listen to music by headphone

4. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Be Careful with Your iPods and MP3 Players

B. Headphones May Make You Lose Hearing

C. No Worry about Your MP3 Players

D. Mothers' Worry about Their Children's Hearing

   Anxiety is the appropriate emotion when the immediate personal terror of a volcano, an arrow, a stab(刺傷) in the back and other disasters is directed against one’s self-disappears.

   The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative safety, a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which one has a feeling that something unspecified(不具體的) an indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety―for good times may end. If the world is going badly―it may get worse. Anxiety tends to be without focus; the anxious person doesn’t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is the change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this unclear sense of unease.

   It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work. While we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom (癥狀) which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life-insurance policy which may have out-of-date provisions in it, into having a conference with Billy’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.

   People who are anxious enough keep their care insurance up, have the brakes checked, and don’t take a second drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either refuse to go into cars at all or drive so tensely that they help cause accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take chance after chance, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.

 

72. In the world that produces anxiety, _______.

   A. people have sudden uneasiness

   B. everything goes well

   C. people are clear about their life

   D. danger is almost everywhere

73. The author holds that ______.

   A. anxiety is a good thing

   B. anxiety is a symptom of mental illness

   C. some anxiety can lead to changes for the better

   D. no anxiety is bad for society

74. Accidents of the road tend to be caused by _______.

   A. all those who are too anxious

   B. all those who have anxiety

   C. those who have no anxiety

   D. those who are not anxious enough

75. The best title for the passage would be _______.

   A. Anxiety

   B. The Right Amount of Anxiety

   C. Anxiety vs Safety

   D. Different Attitudes to Anxiety
