People should listen to music for no more than one hour a day to protect their hearing, the World Health Organization (WHO) suggests.

It says 1.1 billion teenagers and young adults are at risk of permanently damaging their hearing by listening to “too much, too loudly”.

It said audio devices(音频设备), concerts and bars were causing a “serious threat”.

WHO figures show 43 million people aged 12-35 have hearing loss and the number is increasing. In that age group, the WHO said, half of the people in rich and middle-income countries were exposed to unsafe sound levels from personal audio devices. Meanwhile 40% were exposed to damaging levels of sound from clubs and bars.

The proportion of US teenagers with hearing loss went from 3.5% in 1994 to 5.3% in 2006.

“What we’re trying to do is raise awareness of the problem that is not talked about enough, but has the potential to do a lot of damage that can be easily prevented,” said Dr Etienne Krug, the WHO’s director for injury prevention.

The full report argued: “While it is important to keep the volume down, limiting the use of personal audio devices to less than one hour a day would do much to reduce noise exposure.”

Dr Krug said: “That’s a rough recommendation, it is not by the minute, to give an idea to those spending 10 hours a day listening to an mp3-player. But even an hour can be too much if the volume（音量）is too loud.”

1.What might be the main cause of hearing loss according to the passage?

A. Listening to music frequently.

B. Listening to music at concerts.

C. Listening to too much and too loud music.

D. Listening to music from poor audio devices.

2.How many people aged 12-35 were most likely to suffer from hearing loss according to WHO?

A. 3.5%.　　 B. 5.3%.　　 C. 40%.　　 D. 50 %.

3.Which of the following ideas would Dr Etienne Krug agree with?

A. Safe noise exposure is based on the limitation to both volume and time.

B. One hour of exposure to loud music a day will do no damage to hearing.

C. With proper volume, one can listen to an mp3-player for 10 hours a day.

D. It will be OK to be exposed to loud noise from personal audio devices.

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

A. Away from music

B. How to enjoy music

C. Risk of hearing loss

D. Warning of hearing damage

Listen carefully, working people, we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free!

It’s “no”.

What do you ask? We’ll say it again: “No”.

Sweet and simple “no”.

Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.

“Saying ‘no’ to others means you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself, ” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.

“Time is precious. People are spending money buying time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can’t say ‘no’.”

Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt(内疚)or fear of punishment. “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated(强制的) ‘yes’, ” she said.

Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all, ” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Connecticut. “Most people are afraid of saying ‘no’advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.” Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time… Other people are happy to use up your time, ” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend.

“No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”.

“No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.

But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything. In return you should learn to hear ‘no’.”

1..

The sentence “Saying ‘yes’ to yourself” means _______.

2..

When you say “no” to others you should say it in a _______.

3..

. In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that _______.

4..

. If a person says “no” to everything, the result he or she receive may be that he or she _______.

Zero gravity looks cool. But what about the thing no one likes to talk about? Yes, that is right: going to bathroom. Zero gravity makes this everyday task quite a challenge. Astronauts have to be toilet-trained all over again.

The Apollo astronauts raised themselves off the seat of their chairs and stuck a clear plastic bag to their back sides with sticky strips. A second astronaut watched closely to be sure no waste matter escaped the seal. (You would not want that stuff floating around the cabin!) When the deed was done, the astronaut cleaned up with a piece of plastic attached to the inside of the bag, removed the bag, dropped a disinfectant pill in with the waste matter, and put the whole thing, sealed, into a special container.

Donald W. Rethke, an engineer for Hamilton Standard Space Systems, developed a more private way to answer nature’s call: the space toilet. It is somewhat like the kind of toilet one would find on commercial airplanes --- with unique adaptations for zero gravity, of course. For instance, it has thigh bars that keep the astronaut from floating off the seat.

The astronaut (male or female) defecates (排便) in a bag and urinates (排尿) in a hose. Solid and liquid wastes are kept separated because at least 85% of the urine is recycled and, yes, after careful filtration, used for drinking and other purposes. (Water is always in demand in space.) A vacuum sucks the waste materials into the toilet, where the waste is compacted into hamburger-like patties for easy storage. Although not exactly like an earthbound visit to the toilet, it is at the very least much more private than in the early days of space travel.

1.According to the first paragraph, the lack of the gravity can turn something as simple as _______ into a major challenge.

A. eating　　　　 　 B. taking baths

C. sleeping　　　　　 D. answering nature’s call

2.How did astronauts use toilet systems in the Apollo days?

A. None of the waste was separated as it is now.

B. Solid waste was compressed and stored on board.

C. The toilet units used water to remove the waste through the system.

D. The astronauts each used their own private restroom.

3.To ensure the user remains seated, the toilet comes equipped with _______

A. a plastic bag　　　　　　 B. a sticky strip

C. a wide hose　　　　 　　 D. a thigh bar

4.What can be inferred from the fact that most of the astronauts’ urine is recycled?

A. The recycled water tastes better.

B. Water is limited on the space shuttle.

C. It is very convenient to get their urine recycled.

D. Space science includes recycling urine.
