1．________
With the development of society, unwanted sound is the most widespread nuisance(厌恶的事)in America．But noise is more than just a nuisance．It constitutes a real and present danger to people's health．Day and night, at home, at work, and at play, noise can produce serious physical and psychological stress．No one escapes being affected by this stress．Though we seem to adjust to noise by ignoring it, the ear, in fact, never closes and the body still responds－sometimes with extreme tension, as to a strange sound in the night．
2．________
The annoyance we feel when faced with noise is the most common cutward symptom of the stress building up inside us．Indeed, because irritability(易怒)is so obvious, legislators(立法人员)have made public annoyance the basis of many noise limit programs．But the more unnoticeable and more serious health hazards(harm and danger)associated with stress caused by noise traditionally have been given much less attention．
3．________
Nevertheless, when we are annoyed or made irritable by noise, we should consider these symploms fair warning that other things may be happening to us, some of which may be damaging to our health．Of many health hazards to noise, hearing loss is the most clearly observable and measnrable by health professionals．The other hazards are harder to pin down(说清)．For many of us, there may be a risk that exposure to the stress of moise increases susceptibility to disease and infection．The more susceptible among us may experience noise as a complicating factor in heart problems and other diseases．Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in health persons may have serious consequences for these aleady ill in mind or body．
4．________
Noise affects us throughtout our lives．For example, there are indications of ellects on the unborn child when mothers are exposed to industrial and environmental noise, During infancy and childhood, youngsters exposed to high noise levels may have trouble falling asleep and obtaining necessary amounts of rest．
5．________
Why, then, is there not greater alarm about these dangers?Perhaps it is because the link between noise and many disabilities or diseases has not yet been conclusively demonstrated．Perhaps it is because we tend to dismiss annoyance as a price to pay for living in the modern world．It may also be because we still think of hearing loss as only an occupational hazard．
A．Noise affects us from birth even embryo(胚胎)to death．
B．Less attention to more u nnoticeable and serious hazards in spite of the most common annoyance caused by noise．
C．The reasons for there being no greater alann about these dangers．
D．Noise is more a real and preasent danger than a nuisance to people's health．
E．How much do we know about annoyance caused by noise．

Every night for a year, Neil Simons quietly went out of his house. He wanted to “talk” to an owl (猫头鹰)settling for the night at the end of his garden. He made owl cries like a real wild owl and was happy to hear the bird “hooting (大声叫嚣)” back to him.
Last year Fred Cornes moved in next door. He heard an owl hooting and answered back. For 12 months the neighbors got into the back gardens of their homes, thinking they were talking with nature. Mr. Simmons kept a diary of all his talks with his bird friend. They would both be out again tonight if it wasn’t for a chance talk between their wives.
Mr. Simmons said. “My wife Kim was telling Fred’s wife Wendy about my owl watching and described how I got the birds to boot back. She said, ‘That’s funny — that’s just what Fred has been doing.’ Then the penny dropped, I felt such a fool when I found out. The trouble is that owl calls aren’t exactly the same and it’s easy to make a mistake.” ks5u
Mr. Cornes said, “I’m really flattered (过奖). I didn’t know I sounded so real. I love nature and I couldn’t resist hooting at the owls. I was very excited when they hooted back. I’m sorry that I was fooling my neighbor who was fooling me.” w*w^w.k&s#5@u.c~o*m

It's 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. The message becomes clear: "R U awake?"
Brandon' s use of technology doesn' t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles (控制台 ) in his room. With so many choices, it' s no surprise that when he isn' t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices
Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. " If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?" media expert Cheryl Olson says.
Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. " It' s a matter of balance," says Olson." You’ve got to work on it. "
Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. "It' s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply, " says Rideout.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. " Kids should try," adds Rideout. " But parents might have to step in sometimes. "
1.Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices?
A．Because more electronic devices are available to them.
B．Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.
C．Because they have less other activities.
D．Because they have less homework to do.
2.It is known from the passage that ____.
A．Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late-night text
B．the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 30% in the past five years
C．Cheryl Olson is not surprised about kids' increasing use of mobile devices
D．most experts think teenagers should not use electronic devices for their studies
3.Which of the following is an example of multitasking according to the passage?
A．Watching TV while using the computer.
B．Talking on the phone while staying with others.
C．Playing video games on the Internet.
D．Listening to music while relaxing.

A．kids should do homework while surfing the Internet
B．kids should do homework in a place without disturbance
C．kids should spend more time on homework
D．kids should have more homework than before

It’s 10:30 p.m., and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. He blinks twice, and the message on the screen becomes clear: “R U awake?”
But the late-night text does not annoy Brandon. He gets frequent messages and calls, even after bedtime. And he can’t imagine life without them. “If I didn’t have a cell phone, I wouldn’t be able to talk to my friends or family as often,” he told the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Brandon’s use of technology doesn’t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles（控制台）in his room. With so many devices, it is no surprise that when he is not at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices. Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by TFK, kids aged 8 to 18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found. That’s about an hour more than just five years ago.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. “These devices have opened up many more opportunities for young people to use media, whether it’s on the bus, on the way to school or waiting in line at the pizza parlor,” says Rideout.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. “If you’ve got a chance to do something on your computer and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?” Media expert Cheryl Olson says.
