阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

There are many advantages in working part-time while you are in school. Firstly, a part-time job offers you a chance to demonstrate(表现出) your ability and to apply(应用) what you have learned in school. Secondly, a part-time job helps you become more independent of your family. Thirdly, the experience that you gain through part-time job can broaden your school life.

    However, a part-time job has some disadvantages. For example, you may lose time needed for sleep, rest, study, club activities, and recreation. Working several hours a day consumes a lot of time and energy and may affect study. As a result, you may find it hard to adjust to what the school expects from you as well as what your employer has the right to expect.

    Because of the advantages and disadvantages of a part-time job, you have to strike the balance between school and the job. As a student, acquiring more knowledge, especially more book learning, is your first important task. Although a part-time job can do you a world of good, you should not spend too much time on it.

I 36 it when I was three, long before I knew that scars were a 37 thing, especially for a girl. I only knew that my scar brought me 38 and tenderness and candy. As I got older, I began to take 39in my scar, in part to stop people laughing at me, but mainly as a reaction to the thought that I should feel uncomfortable. It’s true. I was 40 the first couple of times someone pointed at my 41 and asked, “What’s that?” or called me “Scarface.” But the more I heard how 42 my scar was, the more I found myself liking it.

     I did have the operation that summer.

       In my late twenties, I took a long look at my scar, something I hadn’t done in years. 52, it could be seen in the right light, but no one 53 me about it anymore. As I leaned uneasily toward the mirror, I felt a sudden 54.

Millions of youngsters across Europe could suffer permanent hearing loss after five years if they listen to MP3 players at too high a volume for more than five hours a week, EU scientists warned.

The scientists’ study, requested by the European Commission, attacked the concept of “leisure noise,” saying children and teenagers should be protected from increasingly high sound levels---with loud mobile phones also coming in for criticism（批评）.

“There has been increasing concern about exposure from the new generation of personal music players which can reproduce sounds at very high volumes without loss of quality,” the Commission, the EU’s executive arm, said in a statement.

“Risk for hearing damage depends on sound level and exposure time,” it said. More and more young people were exposed to the great threat(威胁)that leisure noise posed to hearing, it said.

Commission experts said that between 50 and 100 million people listen to portable music players on a daily basis.

If they listened for only five hours a week at more than 89 decibels(分贝), they would already be beyond   EU limits for noise allowed in the workplace, they said. But if they listened for longer periods, they risked permanent hearing loss after five years.

The scientists calculated the number of people in that risk category at between five and 10 percent of listeners, meaning up to 10 million people in the European Union.

Sales of personal music players have soared in EU countries in recent years, particularly of MP3 players.

"I am worried that so many young people ... who are frequent users of personal music players and mobile phones at high acoustic levels, may be unknowingly damaging their hearing ," she said in the statement.

62. Which of the following can be the best title of the article?

A. Youngsters across Europe: suffer permanent hearing loss.

B. MP3 players: sell best but do harm to youngsters

C. The scientists’ study: requested by the EU

D. EU warns youth: turn your MP3 players down!

63. This passage is most likely to be taken from a _________.

A. textbook                         B. medical report

C. teen magazine                       D. governmental newspaper

64. The underlined part in the forth paragraph most probably means________.

A. were uncovered               B. felt               C. realized         D. were faced with

65. From the passage we know that________.

A. besides the high sound levels, scientists also criticized loud mobile phones.

B. if one listened for 5 hours more a week at 100 decibels, he would risk permanent hearing loss.

C. it is only the level of the sound that can do damage to hearing.

D. the scientists said there were 5-10 percent of MP3 listeners risking hearing loss around the world.

As China’s women’s gymnastics team enjoyed the glory of winning the country’s first team Olympic gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games，the young gymnasts took the opportunity to remind the world that they are old enough to compete．

Weeks before the Beijing Games, some international media raised questions about the ages of some of the members of China’s gymnastics team, particularly He Kexin and Jiang Yuyuan. They said the girls might be younger than 16, the minimum age for the Olympics. But the Chinese Gymnastics Association quickly provided copies of the gymnasts’ ID cards and passports, proving they are indeed old enough to compete.

In the final, He Kexin gave a clean performance on her favorite uneven bars（高低杠）, earning the second highest score after falling from the bars during qualification. “Although I fell down in the qualification, I became more confident today to make up for my mistake and I finally made it.”She said. It was a great moment for head coach Lu Shanzhen. “Our team made history today and proved to the world that we are the best.” the coach said, “The gold medal is not only for the gymnastics team，but also for the whole Chinese delegation at the Beijing Games.”

The coach owed the team’s success to a series of reforms. The Chinese team used to train a 1ot, but competed less, which led to poor results in international competitions. To improve their ability to compete and to strengthen their psychological power, the Chinese team sent more team members to compete abroad, so they could bring a competitive spirit back to the team.
