26、Maybe your mom or dad has told you, “Turn that down before you go deaf!” Well, they have a point.
【1】 You also could have tinnitus (耳鸣), which is a medical term for ringing in the ears. Your ears can feel “full”, too. Although your hearing often returns to normal, the dangerous part is that you can lose it permanently if you listen to loud noise or music over and over again.
If someone is exposed to loud noise over a long period of time, permanent hearing loss can occur. 【2】 That’s why construction workers and factory workers need to wear ear protection.
【3】 Some famous musicians have suffered hearing loss and developed tinnitus - a real problem for someone who needs to hear to make and enjoy music. That’s why now you might notice that some of your favorite musicians wear hearing protection while they’re playing.
【4】 Save your ears by wearing ear protection when you’re using machinery. Also remember to turn down the volume, especially when you’re wearing headphones or ear buds or in the car. You also might want to give your ears a rest once in a while if you like wearing headphones. 【5】
A.You too can help keep your hearing in good shape.
B.However, pleasant sounds, like music, do less harm to hearing.
C.Take these steps now and you won’t be saying “What?” later on.
D.Listening to loud music a lot can cause the same kind of damage.
E.Hearing protection devices come with different noise reduction ratings.
F.This means the person’s hearing won’t ever be as good as it once was.
G.Temporary hearing loss can happen after you’ve been exposed to loud noise for any duration.
27、When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach(田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.
About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, "John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn't you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since
you're so good at it." John answered, "Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason."
From then on, I often remember my student's reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of them-selves, I've found that a simple "I trust that you can do it!" can go a long way!
【1】According to Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about John's ________
A. PE marks B. self-confidence
C. interest in sports D. state of health
【2】Why did John take part in the track team?
A. He had been an excellent runner.
B. He was encouraged by his teacher.
C. He liked running more than tennis.
D. He had no tennis coach to train him.
【3】The purpose of this passage is probably _____.
A. to build a close teacher-student relationship
B. to introduce a new way of sports training
C. to explain the value of sports and games
D. to show the importance of encouragement
【4】The passage is mainly written for _____.
A. teachers B. parents
C. students D. players
