Headphones are helpful. They are good for blocking out noise. And we use them to listen to music no influencing others. But headphones can be harmful, too. They can cause hearing loss if the volume (音量) is too loud. Studies show that one out of every 10 kids in the United States has some hearing loss. The cause is loud noise.
How Hearing Works
An ear has many working parts. Their job is to turn sound into something your brain can understand. And there are cells (细胞) inside the car that help you hear. “We call them hair cells,” Jackie Clark says. “They look like hairs standing up.” Clark is a professor at the University of Texas, She studies how loud noises affect (影响) our ears.
Sound moves and makes the hair cells move back and forth. Loud noises can damage (损害) these cells by getting them not straight anymore. Once the cells are damaged, they don’t grow back.
One sign of hearing loss is tinnitus. It’s a ringing in the cars. “It’s like someone is playing the violin for a long time,” Clark says. “It’s difficult to get away from it.” And the damage affects more than your ears. It can cause worries and stress.
How can you protect your ears? Keep the volume on your headphones low. You should be able to hear sounds around you. And other people shouldn’t hear noise from your headphones.
Measuring (测量) Sound
Sounds or noises are everywhere. Raindrops are 40 decibels (分贝) while fireworks are 140 decibels. What about your headphones? They can go higher than 100 decibels. That’s too loud. To protect your ears, keep your headphones at about half volume. And don’t listen too long. About an hour a day is safe.

14．Which of the following can be put into ?
A．Protect Your Ears B．How Hearing Loses
C．Keep Away from Stress D．The damage of violins
15．Which of the following things has higher volume than headphones?
A．Conversation. B．City Traffic. C．TV. D．Fireworks.
16．Which of the following will the writer agree with?
A．Most American children have some hearing loss.
B．It’s proper to keep the headphones at 100 decibels.
C．Hair cells can grow back again after being damaged.
D．A person with tinnitus may feel worried and nervous.
17．What’s the purpose of this text?
A．To introduce how hearing works and loses.
B．To advise how to use headphones properly.
C．To teach people how to measure the sounds.
D．To tell people different ways to protect ears.

My First Marathon (马拉松)
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.
The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.
18．A month before the marathon, the author ________.
A．was well trained B．felt scared
C．made up his mind to run D．lost hope
19．Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?
A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.
C．To show he was not talented in sports.
D．To share a precious memory.
20．How was the author’s first marathon?
A．He made it. B．He quit halfway.
C．He got the first prize. D．He walked to the end.
21．What does the story mainly tell us?
A．A man owes his success to his family support.
B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.
C．Failure is the mother of success.
D．One is never too old to learn.
