10-Thursday 健康 231词

题材： 健康　 词数： 231　 建议阅读时间： 5分钟

阅读下面的短文，选择正确答案。

Unlike the other parts of the body，your ears don't ask for much．They don't need to be brushed once a day like your teeth．But they really need some special care，especially if you like listening to music with earphones．

Maybe your mum or dad has told you，“Turn that down before you go deaf！”Well，they are quite right．Loud noise may cause hearing problems for a short time or even for ever．

Think that earphones are a good way to escape from your parents' eyes？Well，it may not be as good a way as you think．American doctors have studied a group of 4,490 people who used earphones more than 15 hours every week．The doctors found that 3,730 of them were getting hearing problems．

If you use earphones too long，your ears may feel painful．You could also lose your hearing for the rest of your life．

So don't wear your earphones too long．Use them less than one hour a day．

What good hearing？Don't forget to do the following：

● Try to stay away from places with too much noise，like a disco．If you have to go，wear earplugs．

● When swimming，remember to put earplugs into your ears to keep water from getting in．

● Never put anything sharp into your ears．If you think you have too much earwax，ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out．

Please remember these things！Then you won't be saying“What”when you are older．

参考译文

和身体的其他部位不同，你的耳朵所需不多。它们不需要像牙齿一样每天都得刷。但它们确实也需要一些特别的照顾，尤其是在你喜欢戴耳机听音乐的情况下。

也许你的父母曾经告诉过你：“把声音关小点，你想耳聋啊？”是的，他们说得没错。很大的声音可能引起短期甚至终身的听力问题。

你是否认为戴上耳机就可以不用听父母唠叨了？事情可能没有你想的那么好。美国医生检查了一个 4490 人的群体，他们每周戴耳机的时间超过15小时。医生发现，其中的3730人患有听力问题。

如果你戴耳机的时间过长，你的耳朵可能会感到疼痛。你以后的生命可能会在失聪中度过。因此，不要长时间戴耳机。每天戴耳机的时间要少于1小时。

怎样才能有好的听力？不要忘了下面的做法：

尽量远离过于喧闹的地方，比如迪斯科舞厅。假如必须去，戴上耳塞。游泳时记住戴上耳塞，以防水进入。不要把尖锐的东西塞入耳朵里。如果你觉得耳垢太多，请你的爸爸妈妈帮助清理。

请记住这些原则！这样，当你老了的时候，你就不用说“你说什么”了。
