People put it on their TV and it makes them feel like they are watching and listening to a crackling fire．It makes them feel calm and comfortable．The origin（起源） dates back to 1986in Canada．At that time，not very many people knew about it or watched the channel．Today，more than three million people watch the firelog channel during the winter holiday season．That year，the firelog channel was created（创造） to give the workers in the company that is now called Shaw Cable，a break at Christmas．By running the firelog during the holidays，everyone could go home for a few days and enjoy a bit of time off．
At that time，it was only broadcast to people in Edmonton but today it reaches people across Canada and beyond．This year，the Shaw firelog was updated．It is pretty high tech．Although it's still really just a fire log that has been filmed，it has its own Twitter account （@ShawFireLog），its own Facebook page and it even has a computer App so you can see the burning log on a smartphone or a tablet．The Shaw firelog will burn until Jan.5on Shaw Cable，channel 222．

18．As many as one in five US teenagers have some degree of hearing loss，according to researchers．
They say the problem is growing．
Teenagers really don't pay attention to how much noise they are exposed （暴露） to，Josef Shargorodsky of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston told Reuters．"Often people won't notice it，but even slight hearing loss may affect language development，"said Shargorodsky，one of the researchers．
The study compared surveys from the early 1990s and the mid-2000s．Each included a few thousand teenagers．In the first survey，about 15percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing loss．Some 15years later，that number had risen by a third，to nearly 20percent．
"This certainly is big news，"said Alison Grimes，an ear doctor．Hearing loss is very common in old people，Grimes said，but she added that it was worrying to see it happen in the younger age group．
In babies and young children，hearing problems are known to slow language development．The science is less clear for teenagers，but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing could affect learning，said Grimes，．
The reasons for the rise are still unclear．When researchers asked teenagers about noise exposure-on the job，at school or from activities，for example-the teenagers didn't report any change．But Shargorodsky said that might not be true．"We knew from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about noise exposure-they underestimate （低估） it．"Few people would call it noise when they listen to music on their MP3player，for example．"There is a difference between what we think is loud and what is harmful to the ear，"said Grimes．
Although it's not clear that the MP3 players cause teenagers'hearing loss，Grimes said it was still a good idea to turn down the sound and take short breaks from listening．

29．According to the researchers，in a US class of 40students，aboutD students have some degree of hearing loss．
A．one              B．five             C．six           D．eight
30．Which of the following statements is true according to the article？C
A．Slight hearing loss does not influence learning．
B．Only a few old people have hearing problems．
C．Hearing problems can slow language development．
D．Noise exposure is clearly noticed by teenagers．
31．About hearing loss，it can be inferred thatC．
A．the reasons for the rise have been found           B．MP3players are to blame
C．listening to loud music may be a cause            D．noise is the main reason
32．The article was written toA．
A．warn teenagers that loud music might be harmful
B．explain what kinds of noises might affect studies
C．suggest that teenagers shouldn't listen to loud music
D．show how important hearing can be for learning．

5．Everybody hates rats But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan，Los Angeles，Turkey-rats will soon be man's new best friends
What happens after an earthquake？We sent in rescue dogs．Why？Because they can smell people．Dogs save lives They help rescuers to find living people．But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives：the rat．
How does it work？First，the rat is trained to smell people When this happens，the rat's brain gives a signal（信号）．This is sent to a small radio on its back，and then the rescuers follow the radio signals When the rat's brain activity jumps，the rescuers know that someone is alive．The rat has smelled that person．
Although there are already robots which can do this job，rats are better Christian Linster at Cornell University，New York，says，"Robots'noses don't work well when there are other smells around Rats are good at that"Rats can also see in the dark They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs，and unlike robots，they don't need electricity!
The"rat project"is not finished，but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says，"It would be fantastic．A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe"Perhaps for the first time in history，people will be happy to see a rat in a building（but only after an earthquake，of course ）．

15．A rising population is one of the main reasons that there is global warming．Between 1650and 1850the population increased by 0.75billion people going from 0.25billion to one billion．From 1930to the end of the century the population rose from two billion to over six billion．In just a third of the time the population rose by more than five times what it did before．It is expected that this trend in the changing population will continue and could even heighten．The growing population requires increasing amounts of energy．These energy demands and other supplies require production，which almost always involves the emission of greenhouse gases．The more the population increases the more greenhouse gases that are produced and the greater the increase in temperature．
The burning of fossil fuels is one of the best-known causes for global warming．The major reason for fossil fuels contributing so much to global warming is the release of carbon that occurs during the burning of fossil fuels．When people burn fossil fuels，they release large amounts of carbon by way of the release of carbon dioxide．The carbon dioxide in the air then leads to global warming．
Another source of carbon dioxide comes from deforestation．In forests there is a large amount of carbon that is stored in the trees and other plants．This carbon is out of the atmosphere because the trees consume the carbon from carbon dioxide．When people cut down trees，they are frequently burned．This burning releases the carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that was stored in organic matter．Even when new trees are planted，it can take up to one hundred years to make up for the carbon that was released．It is commonly thought that because trees absorb more carbon dioxide，the atmosphere experiences positive effects．
Sophie Armstrong，the writer of Earth Care put it，"There's no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer because of human activity rather than a random but natural phenomenon．
21．Which of the following titles goes with the text？C
A．A Rising Population
B．Saving Sources of Energy
C．Global warming：The causes
D．Carbon Dioxide
22．The underlined word"deforestation"means．D
A．rising population
B．burning of fossil fuels
C．greenhouse gas
D．cutting down or burning trees．
23．To sum up from the passage，it is that has caused global warming．A
A．human activity
B．sources of energy
C．natural forces
D．the polluted atmosphere
24．Which column of a website might the passage come from？C
