21、Hearing aids usually bring to mind images of ugly, ineffective devices mainly worn by the elderly. But this ill repute is quickly changing, as they’ve recently taken a turn thanks to two innovators, Dr. Marco Vietor and Paul Crusius, who now lead the fastest-growing hearing aid company in the world—hear.com.
Hear.com’s years of research led to the development of two game-changing hearing aids—the Silk and Styletto. These impressive devices pack cutting-edge technology in designs that are practically invisible. They also use a unique way that has been clinically proven to deliver better-than-normal hearing so you can clearly understand speech in any environment. With additional features like Bluetooth and rechargeability, today’s hearing aids are attracting even younger customers skilled in tech.
But hear.com knows it’s not just about tech and design. They’ve put an enormous effort into the entire experience to make hearing care more accessible and more affordable. “Everyone should be able to hear well to live well,” Crusius says. “And it’s very individual. Each person’s hearing loss is different and requires a personalized approach to find the best solution.”
“We hear with our brains, not our ears. And it takes at least 30 days for our brain to adjust and relearn how to hear again with new hearing aids,” Dr. Vietor says. “To guarantee your best outcome with hearing aids, we developed the industry’s first 30-day program, Hearing Success Program, so customers have that extra level of care and knowledge to succeed.”
And it’s working. Hear.com has now helped more than 100,000 customers improve their hearing. Their A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and 5-star rating on the customer review platform, Trustpilot, speaks for itself.
Hear.com’s “never corporate” and “customer first” approach also helps drive the company’s success, encouraging employees to act like owners and put customers first. “We’re investing heavily in shaping our company culture,” Crusius says. “Individuals who work at hear.com say they are here to do more than a job. They’re helping change lives all around the world.”

22、Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians are Real Danger
We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.
Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.
People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.
The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others.
——Michael Horan
I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.
I was walking across Altrincharn Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me.
The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.
The police do nothing. What a laugh they are!
The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的)jacket and tights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.
——Carol Harvey
Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.
Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?
It’s about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be traced and there might be an opportunity to claim.
——JML

23、 One of our worst nightmares as a parent is finding out that our teenager has started smoking or taking drugs. Usually our first reaction is to be angry, but most of us can remember what it was like when we were at school and just how powerful peer(同龄人) pressure can be. Once we are faced with such a case, we ought to be understanding and supportive and should try to help our children through the problems.
Many teenagers are attracted to drugs at some stage in their life and research shows that as many as 15% of all teenagers have tried drug taking of some sort during their young lives. Besides the usual peer pressure and the constant need to be "cool" or to have "fun", many teenagers are simply curious about the excitement or "high" they can achieve from taking drugs. That excitement is doubled by the simple fact that they are doing something illegal that we as parents would consider dangerous.
On a more serious note, they might be getting into drugs as an escape. Perhaps they are unhappy at school or there have been recent changes at home that may have unsettled them. In this case, drug taking can be more worrying as they may start to rely on it as a form of escapism and start to take drugs more regularly.
If you think your child might be smoking or taking drugs, it's best to deal with it straight away. It's easy to turn a blind eye and sweep the issues under the carpet in the hope that they'll gradually stop, but without your intervention(干预), the problem may not disappear.
【1】When parents find their children are smoking or taking drugs, they should .
A.talk about it with their teacher
B.punish them severely
C.help them out of the addiction
D.let them stay at home and not go to school
【2】Which of the following is NOT a reason why teenagers try taking drugs?
A.They are under great peer pressure.
B.They want to stay slim(保持苗条)
C.They think it is cool to take drugs.
D.They are unhappy at school.
【3】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Children whose parents take drugs are more likely to take drugs.
B.Children are curious about things they should not do.
C.Most students are unhappy at school.
D.Children who take drugs will gradually stop themselves.
【4】What does the underlined phrase, "sweep the issues under the" in the last paragraph mean?
A.To put off dealing with the matter.
B.To take quick action.
C.To persuade somebody patiently.
D.To punish somebody severely.
24、Hidden in our subconsciousness (潜意识) is a perfect mental picture. We see ourselves on a long trip that goes across the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle feeding on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, or row upon row of corn and wheat, of flat lands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw（拼图玩具） puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles(通道), condemning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
“When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry. “When I’m 38.” “When I buy a new 450SL Mercdes Benz!” “When I put the last kid through college.” “When I have paid off the loan!” “When I get a promotion.” “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after! ”
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
“Relish(appreciate) the moment” is a good motto, actually it isn’t the burdens of today that drive man mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.
【1】Why does the author describe the mental picture?
A．To lead us into a perfect world.
B．To let people enjoy the scenery.
C．To introduce an actual trip of his.
D．To compare it to our life’s journey.
【2】How do people feel when they’re on their trip?
A．Puzzled. B．Happy. C．Relaxed. D．Impatient.
【3】What does the author mean by “Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today” in Line 2 Paragraph 5?
A．Regret and fear are responsible for the loss of today.
B．We must be careful of the two thieves: regret and fear.
C．regret and fear stop us from enjoying our present life.
D．We’re frequently challenged by the two : regret and fear.
【4】Why does the author write the passage?
A．To teach us a good lesson.
B．To tell us the right attitude to life.
C．To advice us to forget our worries.
D．To stop us wandering along the aisles.
