22、   Today many people say that it is difficult to find a good hobby. Why don’t you open up a garden in front of your house? Having a garden means you need lots of space and free time. But there are many reasons why gardening is a good hobby to develop.

One of them is that plants bring color to any room and keep the air nice and fresh. And, if you keep some flowering plants outside your windows, they may even attract (吸引) cute bees and butterflies. In a word, it’s good for places around us. Gardeners also feel very close to nature. This is quite important.

There are another two reasons for gardening as well. One is that it makes people more relaxed. Studies show that people who do gardening feel more peaceful (平静的) in their lives. This is because gardening makes them feel less stressed. Another one is that it keeps you healthy. Gardening keeps you active and provides fresh food. Both of these are helpful for a healthy way of life.

If you are looking for a hobby, try gardening. You will find the fun of getting your hands dirty and pleasure that comes with growing something. Nothing tastes better than vegetables you grow in your garden.

Painful for Your Ears

Do you often listen to music at loud volumes? You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

The human ear has three different parts. The outer ear is the part you can see. The middle ear and inner ear are inside your head. That doesn't mean those parts can't be hurt. They can be harmed by loud noises. Over one billion young people are at risk of hearing loss due to listening to loud noise for long periods of time, said WHO. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing.

Sounds are measured in decibels (dB分贝). A whisper is 30 dB. A friend talking is about 60 dB. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB. The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 dB for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes.

Loud noise is harmful to the inner ear. Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells (听毛细胞) in our inner ears. These cells detect (探测) sounds. However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die. This is what causes hearing loss.

Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. But this can depend on where you are. For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it. Later, when you listen to it the same volume in a quiet place, you might feel uncomfortable.

What can be done to protect your hearing? Use noise-canceling (降噪) headphones. These headphones get rid of background noise. You don't need to turn up the volume as much. Keep your device volume at 50 to 60 percent. Limit daily use of headphones. Listen to sound on your mobile devices for a maximum of one hour per day.

The less loud noise you hear, the better!

【1】Listening to loud music causes hearing problems because_______.

A.it can stop our ears from resting

B.it puts our brains under great pressure

C.it can cause hair cells in the inner ear to die

D.it makes people get used to listening to loud sounds

【2】From paragraph 5, we can know_______.

A.people love to listen to loud music

B.people don't always know how loud their music is

C.it's great to listen to music on the subway

D.it's reasonable to listen to loud music in some places

【3】The writer probably agrees that _______.

A.people have to wear headphones while walking on a busy road

B.listening to music on TV is better for hearing than on mobile devices

C.young people should set a time limit of listening to music at loud volumes

D.wearing noise-canceling headphones can stop the outer ears being harmed

24、从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day (Longtaitou) is one of them.

Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker (细须)” noodles and dumplings called “dragon teeth”.

Today, many customs have faded away (消退). But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mother’s brothers. So many people have their hair cut on the Dragon Head Raising Day.

25、A survey has been conducted by a travel agency these days. It asked students at senior high schools to name some E【1】 cities they like best and give their reasons. The followings are the top four on the list.

Venice in Italy was c【2】 because it is one of the most romantic cities. It is special because of its beautiful canals and bridges. Newly married honeymoon couples love to go for a ride in a gondola which is the s【3】 of Venice. In the past, Venice was an important port. Marco Polo left from there when he travelled to China in 1271. It was also a great artistic centre during the Renaissance.

The capital of Spain, Madrid is situated in the centre of the country. Madrid is famous for its art galleries. Its famous museum has one of the world’s biggest art c【4】 and paintings by Picasso are exhibited at the Reina Sofia. Many people are attracted to Madrid for its exciting nightlife. But the city is well-known with young people because it is home to the Real Madrid soccer team and its star players.

London is the capital and largest city of the United Kingdom. Its many historical landmarks, including the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace, are visited by millions of tourists. But London is also an exciting modern city and a great entertainment centre. A lot of plays, concerts, musicals and operas are c【5】and performed in the theaters of the West End.

The Italian capital, Rome, is one of the worlds’ richest historical cities. The ancient city was the capital of the Roman Empire and tourists are e【6】attracted by ancient monuments.

Another attraction is the Pope’s residence, the Vatican, and its beautiful Sistine Chapel, which was painted by Renaissance artist Michelangelo.
