Stop and listen! What do you hear? You may hear many different sounds. Some of those sounds may be noise. Noise is a loud or unwanted sound.
Noise can be caused by many kinds of machines, such as motorcycles, jet planes (喷气式飞机), farm tractors, and power motors. And, to some people, rock music is also a noise.
What happens to people who live near noisy machines or use them over a period of time? Doctors have found that these people have trouble in sleeping. And most importantly, constant (连续的) loud noise can cause loss of hearing.
Scientists use a unit of measure called a decibel(分贝) to measure the loudness of a sound. The sound of a quiet room, for example, measures 35 decibels. Talking measures between 40 and 65 decibels. Sounds from traffic and from some rock bands measure over 120 decibels. Noise at such high level causes the greatest hearing loss.

James shook his money box again.
Nothing! He carefully counted the coins that lay on the bed. All that he had was $24.52 (about 153 yuan). The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! How on earth (究竟) was he going to get the rest of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang out with people when you were the only one without a bicycle. He thought about what he could do. There was no point asking his parents, for he knew they had no extra money.
There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn (挣) it. He would have to find a job. He decided to ask Mr Clay for advice.
“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr Clay. “You see, my windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”
That was the beginning of James’ part-time job.
For the next three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks, cleaned out cupboards and repaired books.
The day finally came when James counted his money and found $ 94.32. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard working for the money, but James knew that he valued (珍惜) his bicycle far more because he had bought it with his own money. He had achieved what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.
小题1:Why didn’t James ask his parents for help?

A．Because they didn’t love him.

B．Because they didn’t have extra money.

C．Because they lived far away from him.

With more and more cars on the road, the traffic jam will happen. How do we see it and how can we solve the problem?
We know that the traffic jam happens in many places, especially in big cities. What are reasons for the problem? On one hand, some people think that they should have a car when they have enough money, and then it’s easy to go out and they can feel comfortable. On the other hand, a growing number of people hope to use their cars to show off (炫耀). What’s more, years of research has shown that one of other reasons for the traffic jam is the driving habit. For example, many young people enjoy driving very fast, so they can feel excited. At last, most of them hardly care about the speed rules.
Many governments are working at how to make the traffic better. In my opinion, firstly, the governments should educate those people who have cars or plan to buy cars. The governments must make them know that the traffic jam is very serious, and set up a much more perfect traffic system to solve the traffic pressure.
小题1:What does the underlined word “jam” mean in Chinese?

A．事故

B．堵塞

C．规则

D．肇事者

小题2:Why is the traffic jam getting more and more serious?

A．Because there are not enough ways of transportation.

B．Because there are fewer speed rules.

C．Because there are more and more cars on the roads.

D．Because the speed rules make young people have a bad driving habit.

小题3:Which of the following is NOT true?

A．The reason for the traffic jam is that people have too much work.

B．The reason for the traffic jam is that more and more people drive cars.

C．The reason for the traffic jam is that some people want to show off.

D．The reason for the traffic jam is that some people don’t have good driving habits.

小题4:What should the governments do to make the traffic better?

A．They should educate those people who are young.

B．They should set up a much more perfect traffic system.

C．They shouldn’t allow people to buy so many cars.

D．They should make people know the difficult to solve the problem of the traffic jam.
