Do you often listen to music at loud volumes(音量)? You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Over 1 billion young people have problems in listening because they listen at loud volumes for a long time, WHO said. 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 (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. 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 make some of them die. This is why people have 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.

2.The sound level of a busy road is about _____.
A. 80 dB B. 85 dB

3.Why can listening to loud music cause hearing problems?
A. Because it puts our brains under great pressure.
B. Because it can cause hair cells in the inner ear to die.
C. Because it prevents our ears from resting.
D. Because it allows people to get used to listening to loud sounds.
4.What can we get from the last paragraph?
A. People love to listen to loud music.
B. It’s reasonable to listen to loud music in some places.
C. People are likely to listen to music on the subway.

It’s common for a child to lose his or her baby tooth during the growth. What do children do when they lose baby teeth? People around the world do it differently.
A custom in the US, England, Canada, Australia and some other English-speaking countries is that children put their baby tooth under their pillow (枕头) before going to bed. They believe the tooth fairy(牙仙子) comes during the night and leave a coin in exchange for their tooth. Of course, we know that the money is not from the tooth fairy. Their parents do it instead.
In some European countries it is a common practice to bury the baby tooth in the earth. The tooth might be buried in the garden or in the surrounding field. However, since most of the people now find themselves living in towns or cities, they begin placing the teeth in small flowerpots. It’s done so that the permanent(永久的) tooth will grow in its place.
Putting a tooth under a pillow sounds sweet, and putting a tooth under the ground or in a flowerpot sounds safe, but what about throwing those teeth around? In some Asian countries, that’s just what people do. Children throw a lower tooth up onto the roof and an upper one is thrown down on the ground, or hidden under the bed. It is done so that the new upper tooth grows downwards, while the new lower tooth upwards.
Some countries even have more interesting traditions. In Nigeria, if you’re a boy, you hold your tooth and eight stones in your fist(拳头). Girls hold six stones and their tooth in their fist. The children then close their eyes and state their names. They then say, “Oh, I want my tooth back!” Next, they throw everything in their fist up in the air and run away as fast as they can. In Mongolia, the baby tooth is given to a young dog. There, the dog is respected and considered to be able to protect people. If the dog likes the baby tooth and eats it, it’s said that a strong tooth will grow again

B. Because they think that the teeth are useless to them.
C. Because they have no other places to store these teeth.
D. Because they expect their new teeth to grow in a correct way
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. A kid in UK hides his baby tooth under a pillow to get some money.
B. People in Europe usually bury their baby teeth in different places.
C. In Nigeria, boys and girls like games with their baby teeth
D. In Mongolia, people think dogs can help them to have strong teeth to grow.
4.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
A. There are different traditions to do with the baby tooth in the world
