AThe world has many beautiful sounds. We can hear the songs of birds and the laugh of people. We can listen to cool music and news reports. And it is all because of ours ears! They bring us a world of sounds.But some people can’t hear any sound at all. Some are born deaf. Others can hear well in their childhood, but too many loud sounds hurt their ears later on.Many people in China can’t hear ordinary sounds clearly. A large number of them are children. Most of them are born with good hearing. But six children out of every 1,000 have hearing problems when they are born. And if a child has hearing problems, he or she usually will also have learning problems at school.A lot of things can cause hearing problems. For example, too much earwax is not good for our hearing. It can affect our hearing greatly. And noise louder than 85 decibels（分贝）can hurt our ears and make us lose our hearing for a short time or even for ever.Hearing is important for all of us. So we should do our best to give our ears special care. Don’t forget to do the following:Try to stay away from places with too much noise. If you have to go, wear earplugs. A pair of good earplugs can cut the noise by 30 decibels.When swimming , remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in.Never put anything sharp into your ears. If you think you have too much earwax, ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out.Keep these things in mind! Then you won’t be saying “What” when you are older.31. The underlined word “earwax” means ______ in Chinese.A. 耳膜B. 耳鸣C. 耳垢D. 耳疾32. In the first paragraph , the writer wants to ________.A. tell us many beautiful sounds.B. describe the use of ears.C. explain the kinds of sounds.D. show the importance of ears.33. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the writer?A. Hearing problems caused by diseases.B. People with hearing problems.C. Ways to protect our ears.D. Danger of loud noise.34. Hearing problems may be caused by ______.A. a little earwax.B. learning problems at school.C. noise louder than 85 decibels.D. earplugs that can only cut noise by 15 decibels.35. The underlined sentence means _______.A. when you get older, you know it’s not polite to ask “what”.B. when you get older, you still have good hearing.C. When you get older, you won’t ask question.D. The older you are, the less questions you’ll have.BIf you live in the United States, the law says you can’t have a full-time job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if y ou are younger than 14, you can’t earn (赚) your own money? Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things.Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people’s yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting (织) dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors, and Reisa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines!Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you don’t have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.36. Kids can have full-time jobs at the age of in the USA.A. 16B. 14C. 13D. 1037. If you are 15 years old, you can’t work ________.A. after schoolB. on weekendsC. during summerD. on weekdays38.

Earning one’s money is better than asking for money from others.D. Kids don’t nee d to get along with others when making money.40. From the passage we know that ________.A. parents won’t let their children earn their own moneyB. it’s hard for kids under 14 years old to earn money in the USAC. kids can learn skills if they try to earn money on their ownD. if kids try to earn money, they won’t have enough time to studyCIn England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seemed all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的) . No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'- a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeatedly refilled as soon as you drink it up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring you trouble . Also, you should try to avoid touching the head of an adult--it's just not done in Thailand .41.

Don't hide your head just because you said something stupidB) 根据短文内容回答问题It is said that more than four million people die each year from smoking. That number is frightening.Yet people around the world continue to smoke. In the United States, about forty-seven million adults smoke. This year, more than 430,000 Americans died of diseases which have something to do with smoking. The American Cancer Society(美国癌症协会)says smoking harms the body greatly. It warns that smoking even a number of cigarettes is dangerous.It’s not easy to give up smoking. However, doctors say you probably will live longer if you do stop smoking. You will feel better and look better. You also will protect the health of family members who breathe your smoke.There is not one right way to stop smoking, doctors say. Any way can help. You can take long walks or spend time in places where smoking is not allowed. Also, you can eat a small piece of fruit or vegetable instead of having a cigarette. The sooner you stop smoking, the more you’ll reduce your chances of getting cancer and other diseases.Stop smoking before smoking stops you!56. How many people die from smoking each year?57.
