Even people who love reading and writing have been known to get feverish and insecure when they are aware of possibility or turning
28、in homework with grammar or spelling mistakes. Though writing may be enjoyable, being corrected is definitely not! Grammarphobes, it’s time to put your fear behind you. Grammar isn't dreadful. Here is why. Let’s assume you like hearing and telling stories and that you enjoy joking with your fr
29、iends. You probably also like e-mailing and instant-messaging. Well, what do you think makes all these possible? Grammar is simply the art of putting words together to make sentences. Whenever you use words to express yourself, you are using grammar. You do this all the time without even thinking
30、 So why think about it? Because good grammar helps you convey the ideas you intend. If your words are not right, or if they are not in the right order, the person you are talking to might get a wrong idea. This can have embarrassing results. Grammar helps us understand each other. It is like
31、a manual(手册)for assembling the words in your head. You have to put your words together the right way if you want them to make sense.

36、r, schools, particularly universities, may not only spread culture; they may add to the cultural heritage (遗产). Today American society places a good deal of emphasis on the development of new knowledge, especially in the physical and biological sciences, medicine, and engineering. In recent years, t
37、he nation’s leading universities have increasingly become research centers. An emphasis on research has led universities to judge professors not by abilities as teachers, but as researchers. Promotions, salary increases, and other benefits have long been dependent on research and publication(出版物).
38、 However, the most important is no longer publishing. To be successful these days, professors have to bring in money provided by government and private industry. Critics claim that academic success is most likely to come to those who have learned to “ignore” their teaching duties to pursue research
39、activities. Defenders say that even when students themselves are not involved in research projects they benefit from such an emphasis on research. Major research universities like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have also cooperated with industrial companies to develop technology and pr

44、rchers studied a total of 3307 adults aged between 20 and 69. The degree of hearing loss in each ear was assessed by testing the ability to hear pure tones over a range of frequencies from 500 Hz(low) to 8000Hz(high). Men, those who were older, and those with diabetes(糖尿病)were significantly more li
45、kely to have high frequency hearing loss. And this was true of those who were former smokers and those who had never smoked. But even after taking account of these factors, both former and passive smoking were associated with damaged hearing. Former smokers were significantly more likely to have d
46、amaged hearing. The prevalence(流行程度)of low to mid frequency hearing loss among this group was 14 percent. And almost half (over 46 percent) had high frequency hearing loss.

47、earing loss and one on four(26.6 percent) had high frequency hearing loss. And the stronger findings among former smokers suggested that continued passive smoking in this group, even at low levels, could continue the progression of high frequency hearing loss that began when they were active smoke
48、rs, say the authors. “Further research is required to determine whether passive smoking increases the effect of noise exposure and aging on hearing,” they conclude. “If this finding is independently confirmed, then hearing loss can be added to the growing list of health consequences associated wit
