24、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).
Over 1 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.
The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels (dB, 分贝) for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.
Loud noise is harmful to the inner ear (内耳). 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 at the same volume in a quiet place, you might feel uncomfortable.
WHO said the “safe level” for most sound is below 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week. A level of 80 decibels is roughly equal to the noise of a subway.
【1】According to WHO’s advice, it is NOT safe to ________.
A.listen to music every day
B.watch TV for over an hour
C.go to a rock concert with headphones on
D.listen to loud sounds for a long time
【2】The sound level of a busy road is about ________.
A.15 dB
B.100 dB
C.85 dB
D.115 dB
【3】Listening to loud music causes hearing problems because ________.
A.it puts our brains under great pressure
B.it causes hair cells in the inner ear to die
C.it prevents our ears from resting
D.people will get used to listening to loud sounds
【4】What does the fifth paragraph tell us?
A.People don’t always realize how loud their environment is.
B.It’s likely you listen to loud music in noisy places.
C.People are likely to listen to music on the subway.
D.People love to listen to loud music.

26、 A frog(青蛙)lived in a small well(井). He said to a turtle(乌龟)who lived in the East Sea, "I'm so happy! When I go out, I jump out of the well. When I come home, I rest in the holes on the wall of the well. If I walk in the mud(泥土), it will cover up my feet. I look around here, and no one can compare with me. I'm the owner of this well. My dear sir, why don't you come over and look around my place?"
Then the turtle told the frog about the East Sea.
"You have no idea how large and how deep the sea is. In the past, there were floods(洪水)for many years, but the water in the sea didn't become more. And when it was dry for many years, the water in the sea didn't become less. The sea, doesn't change with time and it doesn't rise or fall as the rain falls, either. The greatest happiness is to live in the East Sea." After hearing this, the frog was shocked(震撼).
There's always someone better than you; there's always something greater than you know. So everyone should be humble(谦逊的).
根据短文内容判断正误,正确的在括号内填A,错误的在括号内填B。
【1】The frog said he was the owner of the well because no one there could compare with him.
【2】The frog knew how deep the East Sea was.
