In the early 1800’s, a boy named John lived in an orphanage (孤儿院) with several other children. Every day was 31 working and Christmas was the one day of the year 32 the children did not work and received a gift — an orange. The children valued it so much that they kept it for weeks, and even 33 — smelling it, touching it and loving it. Usually they tried to kept it for so 34 that it often went bad before they ate it.
This year John knew he would soon be 35 enough to leave. He would save the orange until his birthday in July. If he preserved it 36 , he might be able to eat it on his birthday.
Christmas day finally came. The children were so 37 as they entered the dining hall. In his excitement, John knocked over something, causing a big 38 . Immediately the master shouted, “John, leave the hall and there will be no orange for you.” John’s heart 39 . He turned and ran back to the cold room so that the children wouldn’t see his tears.
Then he heard the door open and the children entered. Little Elizabeth with a 40 on her face held out her small hands. “Here John,” she said, “this is for you.” As John 41 his head, he saw a big juicy orange all peeled (剥皮) and quartered ……. Each child had sacrificed (舍弃) their own orange by 42 a quarter and had created a big, beautiful orange for him.
John never forgot the sharing, love and personal sacrifice his friends had shown him that Christmas day. 43 that day, after he became rich, every year he 44 send oranges all over the world to children everywhere. His 45 was that no child would ever spend Christmas without a special Christmas fruit!

D
Parties, iPods, concerts, movies, TV shows, video games, traffic. All of these things of the modern world make life entertaining and enjoyable. But our 21st-century lifestyle is also loud and, if we don’t take notice, it can have an effect on our hearing.
Most teenagers don’t think about hearing loss. But if you experience any of the following symptoms(症状), you may already be hearing damaged: you make efforts to hear normal talk, you have to turn up the TV or radio so high that others complain, you watch other people’s expressions to understand what they are saying, you ask people to repeat themselves, you misunderstand what people are saying or you hear ringing in your ears.
iPods and other MP3 players are as common as the clothes you wear, and just as fashionable. But if you turn up an iPod to more than 60 percent of its maximum volume(最大音量), and listen to music for more than an hour, you are asking for trouble. And, it does not matter if the music you play is classical, rock or heavy metal.
Some researchers find that young people who break the so-called 60-percent/60-minute rule in listening to iPods are at the risk of suffering hearing loss.
Why is an iPod dangerous? With ear buds placed directly in the ear canal and high-volume music played over a long period of time, it’s like working in a loud factory all day, being a maintenance(修理)person under a jet airplane or using a jackhammer(手提钻)on a building site.
Similarly, iPod music can cause a short time or permanent(永久的)hearing damage. A loud iPod can cause a ruptured(破裂的)eardrum and, over time, may cause permanent damage to the tiny hairs in the inner ear. If these tiny hairs are damaged, they cannot effectively send sounds to the auditory nerves(听觉神经)that connect to the brain. If this happens, hearing loss becomes permanent.
【小题1】Which of the following shows that you are suffering hearing loss?
A.You are interested to listen to others’ talking. |
B.You have to read others’ expressions to understand them. |
C.You can only understand others over the phone. |
D.You always think you hear the ringing of the phone. |
A.Listen at least an hour every time. |
B.Turn up the volume to the highest level. |
C.keep the sound lower than 60% of its highest volume. |
D.Choose classical, rock or heavy metal music. |
A.d-a-c-b-e | B.e-c-a-b-d | C.b-c-a-d-e | D.d-e-a-c-b |
A.music that teenagers like | B.hearing problems caused by the loud world |
C.ways that teenagers enjoy music | D.dangerous modern lifestyles of teenagers. |

[1]Some people's ears produce wax like busy little bees. This can be a problem even though earwax appears to serve an important purpose. Experts say it protects and cleans the ear. It traps dirt and other matter and keeps insects out. Doctors think it might also help protect against infections. And the waxy oil keeps ears from getting too dry.
[2]So earwax is good. It even has a medical name: cerumen. And there are two kinds. Most people of European or African ancestry have the "wet" kind: thick and sticky. East Asians commonly have ___________.But you can have too much of a good thing.
[3]The glands(腺体) in the ear canal that produce the wax make too much in some people. Earwax normally falls out of the ear or gets washed away. But extra wax can harden and form a blockage that interferes with sound waves and reduces hearing. People can also cause a blockage when they try to clean out their ears,but only push the wax deeper inside. Earwax removal is sometimes necessary. But you have to use a safe method or you could do a lot of damage.
[4]Experts at N.I.H., the National Institutes of Health, suggest some ways to treat excessive earwax yourself. One way to remove wax is known as irrigation. With the head upright, take hold of the outer part of the ear. Gently pull upward to straighten the ear canal. Use an injector device to gently direct water against the wall of the ear canal. Then turn the head to the side to let the water out.
[5]The experts at N.I.H. say you may have to repeat this process a few times. Use water that is body temperature. If the water is cooler or warmer, it could make you feel dizzy. Never try irrigation if the eardrum is broken. It could lead to infection and other problems.
[6]After the earwax is gone, gently dry the ear. But if irrigation fails, the best thing to do is to go to a
health care provider for professional assistance.
