4、Doctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause hearing damage or loss．The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories of loud music or other common sound at home and at work．A person only needs to hear the noise for little more than one second to be affected．

       An American scientist has found that using aspirin （阿斯匹林） increase the temporary （暫時(shí)的）hearing loss or damage from loud noise．He did an experiment using a number of students at a university who all had normal hearing．He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, then he tested their hearing ability．He found that students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin．The hearing loss was about two times as great．

       The scientist said millions of persons in the U．S．use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in his experiment．He said these persons face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise．

3、A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin （頑童） was walking around the shining car．“Is this your car, Paul?” he asked．

       Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas．” The boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated．

       Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for．He wished he had a brother like that．But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly．

       “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that．” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”

       “Oh yes, I’d love that．”

       After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”

       Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car．But Paul was wrong again．“Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked．

       He ran up to the steps．Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast．He was carrying his little crippled （殘疾） brother．He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car．

       “There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs．His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent．And some day I’m going to give you one just like it… Then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas window that I’ve been trying to tell you about．”

       Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car．The shining-eyed older brother climbed in and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride．

2、Many students eat their breakfasts on the way to school or in the dinning-room．But some of them don’t really know how to eat well when eating out．

       Here is some important advice．The first is to eat less fast food．The most obvious harm of eating too much fast food is weight gaining because of too much fat．Young people and adults are at risk of disease related to weight．

       Too much fast food can drag your body down．French fries, for example, were recently found to contain much more acrylamide（丙烯酰胺） than other food．This may cause cancer．Actually, deep fried food all contains acrylamide．So don’t eat it too often．

       Soda is another thing you should watch out for．Cokes and other sodas contain a lot of sugar and can slow down a person’s calcium absorption, so it’s best to drink as little soda as possible．

       Food in the dinning-room may not be as tasty as fast food, but it’s actually easier to make healthy choices．Human bodies need variety．You can have a dinner that balances lean proteins, vitamins and complex carbohydrates（碳水化合物）．In other words, a meal with fish or meat, vegetables and some bread or rice will provide you with most nutrients that the body needs．

       Some snacks, on the other hand, will help keep you going until your next big meal．It is natural for teenagers, especially boys, to feel hungry during school time．Don’t forget to take some foods, like whole-grain biscuits or low-fat milk in your school bag．
