Do you think there is too much noise in our city? If you live near an airport,you will be unhappy because of a plane often make a loud noise.The sound of planes or heavy vehicles is likely to cause deafness if heard continuously(不断地).

However, most people in our city do not seem to mind noise. They like to enjoy music when they are doing uninteresting jobs.It is a new danger because pop music,when played through powerful amplifiers(放大器),can reach 120 decibels(120分贝的)at a distance of five feet.A continuous noise of over 85 decibels can cause deafness.It was discovered that many young people in America could hear no better than 65-year-old people.

In the past we used to think that only workers in very noisy places would become deaf.For example,when newspapers and books are being printed,the noise level is over 85 decibels,and some of the workers become deaf.Today,however,scientists believe that 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise.

Sometimes noise of less than 85 decibels can make some people tired and stressed.We all know that too much noise makes life difficult and unpleasant.It can do great harm to people's health and prevent people from working well.Workers in noisy offices are not as efficient(效率高的)as those in quiet offices.Noise makes people less efficient.Can anything be done to reduce or control noise?

In Britain the government has made several laws to reduce noise.Though the government has spent a lot of money in making airports and main roads quieter,many people think that there are still not enough laws.For example,there are no laws to control the noise of machines.In Japan,America and Norway there are such laws.As a result,workers can be given compensation(赔偿)if they become deaf.

1.Some workers become deaf because of ________.

A.hard work              B.a continuous noise of over 85 decibels

C. powerful amplifiers    D.uninteresting jobs

2.In Britain there are laws to ________.

Many of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact(接触) with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable?
It’s all about personal peace, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume(香水) makes you feel angry.
Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire(渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey by TripAdvisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.
Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.
Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.
Preference(偏好) for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin(拉丁人的) cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.
【小题1】The writer mainly _________ in this article.

A.tells us how to achieve personal space 
B.explains why people need personal space 
C.introduces some knowledge about personal space 
D.argues for the importance of keeping personal space 
【小题2】Who might feel his personal space is safe according to the passage?
A.A person who has to sit next to a lady putting on strong perfume. 
B.A person who has been watched by a stranger for a long time. 
C.A person who hears strange noises when reading at home. 
D.A Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting close to him. 
【小题3】What can we know from the survey by TripAdvisor?
A.People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before. 
B.People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times. 
C.There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people’s needs. 
D.Food service is better provided than seats on the plane. 
【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses. 
B.If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space won’t be violated. 
C.People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space. 
D.Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space.

I heard the bees long before I saw them.
It was a very hot afternoon, and we decided to cool off in the river near my home. As we climbed down a small rocky hill toward the water, my boyfriend John suddenly started to shout then jumped into the water below. Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump. I was trapped.
I heard a low hum(嗡嗡声),which was growing louder. From a distance, the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke. As it got closer, I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.
All I could do was cover my face with hands. Crazily, I thought that if I sat very still, the bees would think I was just another rock.
After a few minutes, I knew my plan hadn’t worked. The bees were attacking me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down to the pool fast.
But it wasn’t so easy. I was in great pain and the only way I could get away was to use my hands to climb down the rocks. However, I was afraid to do that at first because my face would be unprotected. The noise the bees made was so loud and frightening, but I had no choice.
I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool, but I don’t remember doing it. I was just so happy to be free from the pain. I was safe, and the water felt wonderful.
But we still weren’t out of danger. Every time we tried to climb out of the pool, the bees flew back over our heads. We spent the next three hours in the water, putting our heads under the water from time to time to avoid the bees until they finally lost interest.
【小题1】 How many people went swimming that day?
A.Two.B.ThreeC.FourD.Five
【小题2】The underlined word “it” (in Paragraph 3) refers to        .
A.a rockB.the group of beesC.a hillD.the river

A.She was afraid she would fall.
B.She was too far away from pool.
C.She thought the bees would follow her.
D.She didn’t want her face to be unprotected.
【小题4】 How did the writer escape the bees?
A.She covered her face with her hands.
B.She hid behind the rocks.
C.She jumped into a water pool.
D.She pretended to be a rock.
【小题5】In what order are the following mentioned in the story?

b. John jumped into the water.
c. The low hum grew louder.
d. The bees flew back over their heads.
